Details of the proposed reorganization are set forth in the combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus that accompanies this letter, including details about each fund’s investment objective, policies, management and costs that are important for you to know.

IMPORTANT SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Enclosed are a notice, combined proxy statement/prospectus, and proxy card(s) for a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) relating to the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund, 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund and 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund (singly, a “1st Source Fund,” and collectively, the “1st Source Funds”) each a series of The Coventry Group (the “Coventry Group”). The Meeting is scheduled for December 11, 2008 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at 100 Summer Street, Suite 1500, Boston, MA 02110. The purpose of the Meeting is to vote on an important proposal that affects the 1st Source Funds and your investment in the 1st Source Funds.

This combined proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) is being sent to you in connection with the proposed reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of your 1st Source Fund into a corresponding newly organized series (each a “Wasatch Fund” and collectively, the “Wasatch Funds”) of Wasatch Funds, Inc.

 

Acquisition of Substantially

all of the Assets and Liabilities of:

 

By and in Exchange

for Shares of:

1st Source Monogram Income Fund  

Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund

1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund   Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund
1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund   Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund

On August 13, 2008, at a meeting, the Board of Trustees of the Coventry Group considered and approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”). In addition, the Board of Directors of Wasatch Funds, Inc. considered and approved the Plan on August 27, 2008.

If the proposal is approved by shareholders, upon completion of the Reorganization, each 1st Source Fund will transfer all of its assets to its corresponding Wasatch Fund in exchange for shares of the corresponding Wasatch Fund and the corresponding Wasatch Fund’s assumption of the 1st Source Fund’s liabilities. The Plan further provides that each 1st Source Fund will then distribute the shares received from the corresponding Wasatch Fund proportionately to its shareholders and then terminate. As a result of the Reorganization, the total value of the shares held by a shareholder of a 1st Source Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization will be equal to the total value of the shares that a shareholder will receive from the corresponding Wasatch Fund.

Wasatch Advisors, Inc. (“Wasatch Advisors”) will serve as investment adviser to your Wasatch Fund; however, the current portfolio manager(s) of each 1st Source Fund will continue to serve as the portfolio manager(s) to the corresponding Wasatch Fund following the Reorganization although a portfolio manager of the 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund will also be named a portfolio manager of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund. In this regard, the current portfolio manager(s) of the 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund and 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund will become employees of Wasatch Advisors and both will serve as portfolio managers to the corresponding new Wasatch Funds.

With respect to the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund, 1st Source Corporation Investment Advisors, Inc. (“1st Source Advisors”), the current adviser to the 1st Source Funds, will serve as sub-adviser to such Wasatch Fund and the current portfolio manager of the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund will manage the investment portfolio of the corresponding new Wasatch Fund.

Accordingly, the 1st Source Funds’ portfolio managers will manage the corresponding Wasatch Funds following the Reorganization subject to identical investment objectives for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund, substantially similar investment objectives for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund, and substantially similar investment strategies as those currently in place for the 1st Source Funds as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.


Table of Contents

Details of the proposal are included in the attached Proxy Statement/Prospectus (the “Proposal”). The Proposal is not expected to result in a change in the level or quality of services to shareholders following the Reorganization. In addition, the Proposal is expected to result in a decrease in overall fund expense ratios. The 1st Source Funds, the shareholders of the 1st Source Funds, and the Wasatch Funds will not pay any fees or expenses associated with the Reorganization as 1st Source Advisors and Wasatch Advisors have agreed to bear the expenses of the Reorganization. The Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes (although there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will adopt a similar position).

The Proposal has been reviewed by the Coventry Group Board. The Coventry Group Board believes that the Proposal is in the best interests of shareholders of each 1st Source Fund. The Coventry Group Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the Proposal. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please take a few minutes to read the enclosed materials and cast your vote promptly. To cast your vote, simply complete the proxy card(s) enclosed in this package. Be sure to sign and date the card(s) before mailing them in the postage-paid envelope.

Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. It is important that your vote be received by the date of the Meeting, December 11, 2008.

Shareholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted at the Meeting by filing a written notice of revocation with the Coventry Group, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

PROPOSAL: TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

Shareholders of the 1st Source Funds are being asked to consider and approve the Plan with respect to their 1st Source Fund. The Plan provides for: (i) the acquisition of all of the assets and assumption of all of the liabilities at the Closing Date (as defined below) of the 1st Source Funds by the Wasatch Funds in exchange for shares of the corresponding Wasatch Funds; (ii) the pro rata distribution of shares of each Wasatch Fund to shareholders of the corresponding 1st Source Fund; and (iii) the liquidation of the 1st Source Funds. If the shareholders of the 1st Source Funds vote to approve the Plan, as a shareholder of a 1st Source Fund, you will receive shares of the corresponding Wasatch Fund equal in total value to your investment in the applicable 1st Source Fund. If approved by shareholders, the Plan will have the effect of reorganizing each of the 1st Source Funds with and into a corresponding Wasatch Fund, which has an identical investment objective for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund and Wasatch-1 st Source Long/Short Fund, substantially similar investment objectives for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund, and substantially similar investment strategies, as set forth below. Each 1st Source Fund shareholder will become a shareholder of the corresponding Wasatch Fund. A copy of the Plan is attached as Appendix C.

Common Questions and Answers about the Proposed Reorganization

The following questions and answers provide an overview of the proposal to reorganize 1st Source Monogram Income Fund, 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund and 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund into corresponding Wasatch Funds. We encourage you to read the full text of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Q: What are 1st Source Funds’ shareholders being asked to vote upon?

A: The 1st Source Funds’ shareholders are being asked to consider and approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization under which their 1st Source Fund would reorganize into a corresponding Wasatch Fund. If approved, shareholders of the 1st Source Funds will become shareholders of the corresponding Wasatch Fund.

Q: How are the 1st Source Funds proposed to be reorganized?

A: The Plan contemplates the Reorganization of each 1st Source Fund listed below into a corresponding Wasatch Fund, that has identical investment objective and substantially similar investment strategies.

 

1st Source Funds

  

Wasatch Funds

1st Source Monogram Income Fund

   Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund

1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund

   Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund

1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund

   Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund

If shareholders of the 1st Source Funds approve the Reorganization, shareholders will receive shares of the corresponding Wasatch Funds listed above having the same total value as the existing 1st Source Fund shares owned by the shareholder on the date of the Reorganization. 1st Source Fund shareholders who do not wish to have their 1st Source Fund shares exchanged for shares of the corresponding Wasatch Fund as part of the Reorganization may redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Reorganization. If you redeem your shares, you will recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them, unless you are a tax-exempt investor.

Q. Why has the Reorganization of the 1st Source Funds into the Wasatch Funds been recommended?

A. 1st Source Corporation Investment Advisors, Inc. (“1st Source Advisors”) and the Coventry Board believe that the proposed Reorganization offers many potential benefits to shareholders and is in the best interests of shareholders. At a meeting held on August 13, 2008, the Coventry Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940

Act”)) of the Coventry Group (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Reorganization and recommend its approval by the shareholders of the 1 st Source Funds. In reaching its decision, the Coventry Board considered that (1) the portfolio manager(s) of the 1st Source Funds would manage the corresponding Wasatch Fund after the Reorganization with an additional portfolio manager named for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund; (2) each Wasatch Fund would have identical investment objectives and substantially similar investment strategies and investment policies as the corresponding 1st Source Fund; (3) the projected overall expense ratios are anticipated to be lower than the corresponding 1st Source Fund after any contractual expense limitations and fee waivers; (4) Wasatch Advisors has agreed to an expense cap for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund until January 31, 2011 as described in further detail below; (5) Wasatch Advisors has agreed not to raise the management fee for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund for a period of two (2) years; (6) the research and analyst staff and capabilities of Wasatch Advisors are expected to provide broader support to the portfolio managers; (7) Wasatch Funds, Inc. is an existing investment company with 18 series, providing shareholders with exchange privileges among the Wasatch family of funds; (8) shareholders’ interests should not be diluted as each 1st Source Fund shareholder will receive shares of the corresponding Wasatch Fund equal in value to his/her share of the assets of the 1st Source Fund held; (9) the Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes; and (10) Wasatch Advisors has agreed to pay for all of the costs related to the solicitation of the shareholders of the 1st Source Funds (inclusive of legal fees and expenses, printing, mailing the proxy statement and soliciting proxies) to the extent such costs are solely and directly related to the Reorganization. Any other costs that are solely and directly related to the Reorganization and not reflected in the foregoing sentence shall be shared by Wasatch Advisors and 1st Source Advisors, as they may mutually agree.

Q: What is the anticipated timing of the Reorganization?

A: The Meeting of shareholders to consider the proposal is scheduled to occur on December 11, 2008. If all necessary approvals are obtained, the proposed Reorganization will likely take place immediately before the opening of business on December 15, 2008.

Q: Who will receive the Proxy Statement/Prospectus materials?

A: The Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be mailed to all persons and entities that held shares of record in the 1st Source Funds on October 24, 2008. Please note that in some cases record ownership of and/or voting authority over a 1st Source Fund’s shares may reside with a fiduciary or other agent. In these cases, the fiduciary or other agent may receive the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Q: Are there any differences in the investment advisory fee in connection with the Proposed Reorganization?

A: 1st Source Advisors and Wasatch Advisors have entered into investment advisory agreements relating to the 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds, respectively.

The following chart states the investment advisory fees of each 1st Source Fund and the corresponding Wasatch Fund. Advisory fees are based on a percentage of average daily net assets of the Fund. Each corresponding Wasatch Fund’s investment advisory fees are identical to that of the 1st Source Fund, except that the advisory fee for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund is higher than that of the 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund. Wasatch Advisors has agreed to implement a fee waiver whereby the total expenses of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund will be capped at 1.10% of average daily net assets until January 31, 2011. Pursuant to this expense limitation, Wasatch Advisors will pay all expenses, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fee and expenses, other investment related costs and extraordinary expenses, in excess of such limitation. Wasatch Advisors may rescind this contractual limitation on expenses any time after January 31, 2011. Wasatch Advisors has agreed not to increase the investment advisory fee for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund for a period of two (2) years following the closing of the transaction.

Q: What are the costs and federal tax implications to shareholders in connection with the proposed Reorganization?

A: 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds will not bear any direct or indirect fees or expenses in connection with the Reorganization. Under the Plan, Wasatch Advisors and 1st Source Advisors have agreed, to the extent permitted, to pay all of the fees and expenses in connection with entering into and carrying out the transactions contemplated by the Plan whether or not the transactions contemplated are concluded.

The aggregate value of Wasatch Fund shares issued to you will be equal to the aggregate value of the 1st Source Fund shares that you owned immediately prior to the Reorganization. In addition, the Reorganization is intended to be tax-free under federal tax law (however, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will adopt a similar position).

However, immediately prior to the Reorganization, each 1st Source Fund will declare and pay a final distribution to its shareholders of all of its investment company taxable income (and net tax-exempt income, if any) for taxable years ending on or before the effective time of the Reorganization and all of its net capital gain, if any, recognized in those years.

Q: Are there any significant differences between the investment objectives and policies of the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds?

A: Each Wasatch Fund is a newly-organized fund without assets or liabilities that has been created for the purpose of acquiring the assets and liabilities of its corresponding 1st Source Fund. Each of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund has an identical investment objective and substantially similar investment strategies as its corresponding 1st Source Fund. The Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund has substantially similar investment objectives and investment strategies as its corresponding 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund,

Q: Are there any significant differences between the sales charges, redemption fees or annual fund operating expenses of the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds?

A: The annual operating expenses of each of the Wasatch Funds are expected to be the same or lower than the corresponding 1st Source Fund after the Reorganization. Wasatch Advisors has contractually agreed to limit the total annual operating expenses of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund at least through January 31, 2011 to 1.10% of average daily net assets computed on a daily basis. Pursuant to this expense limitation, Wasatch Advisors will pay all expenses, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, other investment related costs and extraordinary expenses, in excess of such limitation. Wasatch Advisors may rescind this contractual limitation on expenses any time after January 31, 2011.

Neither the 1st Source Funds nor the Wasatch Funds impose sales charges. A Rule 12b-1 plan of distribution was approved for the 1st Source Funds whereby the funds could charge a fee of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets, although this fee has never been imposed. The Wasatch Funds do not have a Rule 12b-1 plan.

Table of Contents

Currently, the 1st Source Funds do not have a redemption fee. Each Wasatch Fund assesses a redemption fee of 2% on shares redeemed within 60 days after the date they were purchased, subject to certain exceptions. This fee is intended to discourage frequent trading of fund shares that can negatively affect a fund’s performance. The fee does not apply to shares purchased through reinvested dividends or capital gains or shares held in certain omnibus accounts or retirement plans that cannot implement the fee. Wasatch Funds will waive the redemption fee for all transferring 1st Source Fund shareholders for a period of 60 days following the Reorganization.

Q: Will there be any changes in the portfolio managers?

A: Wasatch Advisors serves as investment adviser to the Wasatch Funds. The portfolio managers who provide day-to-day portfolio management to the 1st Source Funds will continue after the Reorganization to provide day-to-day portfolio management to the Wasatch Funds although an additional portfolio manager will be named for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund. After the Reorganization, Mr. Ralph Shive, CFA, portfolio manager of the 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund and co-portfolio manager of the 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund, and Mr. Michael Shinnick, co-portfolio manager of the 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund, will become employees of Wasatch Advisors and, as such, will serve as the portfolio managers of both corresponding Wasatch Funds. Mr. Paul Gifford, CFA, the portfolio manager of the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund, will remain an employee of 1st Source Advisors. 1st Source Advisors will be a sub-adviser to the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund effective as of the closing of the Reorganization. Accordingly, Mr. Gifford will serve as the portfolio manager of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund after the Reorganization. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains further information about the addition of the sub-adviser for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund.

Q: What vote is required to approve the Reorganization and what happens if the Reorganization is not approved?

A: The shareholders of each 1st Source Fund must separately approve the Reorganization with respect to their 1st Source Fund in order for the Reorganization to be approved for that fund. Additionally, the Reorganization must be approved on behalf of all three 1st Source Funds for the Reorganization to be effected. In the event a 1st Source Fund fails to receive sufficient votes for approval of the Reorganization, management will consider appropriate options. If the shareholders of any of the 1st Source Funds do not approve the Plan, the Coventry Board may consider other possible courses of action for the 1st Source Funds that did not approve the Plan, which may include liquidation.

SUMMARY

The information set forth in this section is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety of the information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Plan, or in the documents incorporated by reference herein. You should read the entire Proxy Statement/Prospectus including the Plan (attached as Appendix C), as it contains additional information regarding the Reorganization.

What is the purpose of the Proposal?

At a meeting held on August 13, 2008, the Coventry Board approved the Plan and recommended that shareholders of the 1st Source Funds approve the Plan. If shareholders of the 1st Source Funds approve the Plan, all of a 1st Source Fund’s assets will be transferred to the corresponding Wasatch Fund in exchange for shares of that Wasatch Fund and the corresponding Wasatch Fund’s assumption of the applicable 1st Source Fund’s liabilities. The shares of the Wasatch Funds received will be equal in value to the net assets transferred from the 1st Source Funds. Each Wasatch Fund’s shares will then be distributed pro rata to the corresponding 1st Source Fund’s shareholders and each 1st Source Fund will be liquidated. This means that you will cease to be a shareholder of the 1st Source Fund and will become a shareholder of the corresponding Wasatch Fund. This exchange will occur on a date agreed to by the parties to the Plan (hereafter, the “Closing Date”), which is currently expected to be December 15, 2008.

For the reasons set forth below under “Reasons for the Reorganization,” the Coventry Board concluded that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the 1st Source Funds and their shareholders. The Coventry Board has also concluded that no dilution in value would result to the shareholders of the 1st Source Funds as a result of the Reorganization. (The Wasatch Funds have been newly-organized in connection with the Reorganization and have no shareholders).

How do the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the 1st Source Funds and the corresponding Wasatch Funds compare?

The following chart states the investment objective of each 1st Source Fund and the corresponding Wasatch Fund. The investment objective of each of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund is identical to the corresponding 1st Source Fund. The investment objectives of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund are substantially similar to the 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund,

It is anticipated that each Wasatch Fund and its corresponding 1st Source Fund will be managed in a substantially similar manner. Each Wasatch Fund will be managed by the same portfolio manager(s) as its corresponding 1st Source Fund although a current portfolio manager of the 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund,

Table of Contents

Mr. Michael Shinnick, will also be named as a portfolio manager of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund. In addition, the principal investment strategies of each Wasatch Fund are substantially similar to those of its corresponding 1st Source Fund, with the salient differences described below. Unless specifically noted, it is intended that the investment process currently employed by each 1st Source Fund will continue to be the investment process employed by the corresponding Wasatch Fund.

Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund

The Investment Advisor’s Process.

1st Source Advisors is the investment adviser to the 1st Source Funds. Wasatch Advisors is the investment adviser to the Wasatch Funds. 1st Source Advisors will serve as sub-adviser to the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund. As noted, the portfolio manager of the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund will be the same for the corresponding Wasatch Fund and the investment process utilized by the portfolio manager for the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund is intended to be substantially similar for the corresponding Wasatch Fund. With respect to the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund, the portfolio manager uses analysis of credit quality, spreads, interest rate sensitivity, prepayment speeds, and yield curve to shape the portfolio. Analysis versus the benchmark, and the outlook for economic and inflation conditions are used to determine sector weightings, individual security selection, duration and convexity of the portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies.

As noted, it is anticipated that the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund will be managed similarly to its corresponding 1st Source Fund. The 1st Source Monogram Income Fund normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in debt securities of all types, including high grade corporate bonds and U.S. government bonds. The corresponding Wasatch Fund likewise normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in debt securities of all types, including corporate bonds, U.S. government bonds, and variable and floating rate securities. Each Fund invests substantially all, but in no event less than 65%, of its total assets in debt securities. The Wasatch Fund notes this policy is measured at the time of purchase. Both funds also invest in fixed income securities consisting of bonds, fixed income preferred stocks, debentures, notes, zero-coupon securities, mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, state, municipal or industrial revenue bonds, obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government, debt securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, common stocks, foreign debt securities, guaranteed investment contracts, income participation loans, first mortgage loans and participation certificates in pools of mortgages issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government. It is anticipated that the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund will have a maturity of 3 1/2 years to 5 years and a duration of 2 1/2 years to 4 1/2 years.

Both Funds may also engage in repurchase transactions, invest in other investment companies and purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. The Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund may also engage in credit default swaps.

Some of the principal differences in the principal investment strategies are as follows:

Investments in investment grade and non-investment grade debt securities. The 1st Source Monogram Income Fund invests only in debt securities which are considered to be investment grade and rated at the time of purchase within the four highest rating categories assigned by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) or, if unrated, which 1st Source Advisors deems to be of comparable quality. The corresponding Wasatch Fund also invests in investment grade securities, but may invest up to 10% of its total assets in non-investment grade securities (i.e., junk bonds). Accordingly, the Wasatch Fund may be subject to more credit and default risk than its corresponding 1st Source Fund. See “What are the principal risks associated with investments in the Funds?—Specific Risks-1st Source Monogram Income Fund/Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund” for further discussion of the risks of non-investment grade securities.

Investments in futures and options. The 1st Source Monogram Income Fund may engage in options transactions and may engage in futures transactions as well as invest in options on futures contracts solely for

Table of Contents

hedging purposes. The corresponding Wasatch Fund may also engage in forward contracts, futures transactions and options on futures. The corresponding Wasatch Fund may engage in futures transactions solely for hedging purposes. Although not a principal strategy, the Wasatch Fund may also engage in options transactions and will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in purchased options. See “What are the principal risks associated with investments in the Funds?—Specific Risks-1st Source Monogram Income Fund/Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund” for a further discussion of risks from investing in derivatives.

Other investment strategies. The 1st Source Monogram Income Fund may also lend securities to qualified brokers, dealers, banks, and other financial institutions for the purpose of realizing additional income. The corresponding Wasatch Fund may also engage in securities lending but has indicated this is a non-principal investment strategy.

Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund

The Investment Advisor’s Process.

1st Source Advisors is the investment adviser to the 1st Source Funds. Wasatch Advisors is the investment adviser to the Wasatch-1st Source Funds. As noted, the current portfolio manager of the 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund will be the same for the corresponding Wasatch Fund and a portfolio manager of the 1 st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund will also be named a portfolio manager of this Wasatch Fund. The investment process utilized by the portfolio managers for the 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund is intended to be substantially similar to that for the corresponding Wasatch Fund. With respect to the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund, the portfolio managers employ a comprehensive valuation analysis intended to establish a range for fair valuation or intrinsic company value, with a particular emphasis on company fundamentals. The initial valuation review may include:

 

   

Calculating and reviewing standard ratios, such as price to sales, price to book, price to earnings, and price/earnings-to-growth.

 

   

Modified discounted cash flow models with sensitivity analysis for changes to revenue growth rates, operating margins, outstanding share counts, earnings multiples, and tangible book value.

 

   

Changing sector and company specific outlooks due to subjective factors, including globalization of capital, labor and process knowledge, as well as increasing information and price transparency.

Principal Investment Strategies.

As noted, it is anticipated that the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund will be managed similarly to its corresponding 1st Source Fund. The 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund invests substantially all, but in no event less than 80% of its assets in equity securities. The equity securities include: common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks, warrants and any rights to purchase common stocks. The 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund normally invests primarily in common stock and securities convertible into common stocks of companies with market capitalizations of at least $100 million which 1st Source Advisors believes will pay above average dividends or interest. The Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund, under normal market conditions, will invest at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets primarily in common stock and securities convertible into common stocks. The Fund typically invests in the securities of companies with market capitalizations of at least $100 million at the time of purchase which Wasatch Advisors believes will pay above average dividends or interest.

Both Funds may also invest in fixed income securities consisting of corporate notes, bonds and debentures that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase. Both Funds may invest a large percentage of their assets in a few sectors.

Other investment strategies. The 1 st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund may lend securities to qualified brokers, dealers, banks, and other financial institutions for the purpose of realizing additional income, may invest in other investment companies, real estate investment trusts (REITs), obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government, securities issued by foreign companies; may engage in repurchase transactions; and may engage in options transactions as well as futures transactions and invest in options on futures contracts solely for hedging purposes. The corresponding Wasatch Fund may also engage in securities lending, engage in repurchase transactions and invest in the foregoing types of securities but has indicated that these are non-principal investment strategies. As a non-principal investment strategy, the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund may also engage in option transactions, future transactions and engage in options on futures transactions for hedging purposes.

Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund

The Investment Advisor’s Process.

1st Source Advisors is the investment adviser to the 1st Source Funds. Wasatch Advisors is the investment adviser to the Wasatch-1st Source Funds. As noted, the current portfolio managers of the 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund will be the same as for the corresponding Wasatch Fund and the investment process utilized by the portfolio managers for the 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund is intended to be substantially similar to that for the corresponding Wasatch Fund. With respect to the Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund, the portfolio managers believe that the best opportunities to make both short and long equity investments are when the market’s perception of the values of individual companies (measured by the stock price) differs widely from their assessment of the intrinsic values of such companies. Wasatch Advisors further believes that opportunities to invest in undervalued and overvalued stocks arise due to a variety of market inefficiencies, including:

 

   

Changes in market participant psychology and circumstances.

 

   

Imperfect information.

 

   

Forecasts and projections by Wall Street analysts and company representatives which differ from experienced reality.

When evaluating potential investments for the Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund, both long and short, Wasatch Advisors employs comprehensive valuation analysis intended to establish a range for fair valuation or intrinsic company value, with a particular emphasis on company fundamentals. The initial valuation review may include:

 

   

Calculating and reviewing standard ratios, such as price to sales, price to book, price to earnings, and price/earnings-to-growth.

 

   

Modified discounted cash flow models with sensitivity analysis for changes to revenue growth rates, operating margins, outstanding share counts, earnings multiples, and tangible book value.

 

   

Changing sector and company specific outlooks due to subjective factors, including globalization of capital, labor and process knowledge, as well as increasing information and price transparency.

Investment opportunities may be further prioritized based upon metrics for market participant psychology, including:

 

   

Money flow.

 

   

Insider activity.

 

   

Stochastics.

 

   

Relative strength.

 

   

Variation from moving averages.

Table of Contents

Along with long positions, the Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund intends to engage in short sales of securities of companies that the adviser believes:

 

   

Have earnings that appear to be reflected in the current price.

 

   

Are likely to fall short of market expectations.

 

   

Are in industries exhibiting weaknesses.

 

   

Have poor management.

 

   

Are likely to suffer an event affecting long-term earnings.

Principal Investment Strategies.

As noted, it is anticipated that the Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund will be managed similarly to its corresponding 1st Source Fund. The 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund invests primarily in common stocks by maintaining both long equity positions and short equity positions. The 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund normally purchases common stocks (“long” equity positions) of U.S. traded companies that 1st Source Advisors has identified as being undervalued and sells short those securities (“short” equity positions) that it has identified as being overvalued. The equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks, warrants and any rights to purchase common stocks. The 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund can make investments in any market sector and in any company that has a public market capitalization of at least $100 million. The Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund also invests primarily in equity securities by maintaining long equity positions and short equity positions. The Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund, under normal market conditions, invests in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations of at least $100 million at the time of purchase that Wasatch Advisors has identified as being undervalued (“long” equity positions) and sells short those securities (“short” equity positions) that it has identified as being overvalued. The Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund may at any time have either a net long exposure or a net short exposure to the equity markets and the Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund will not be managed to maintain either a net long or net short market exposure.

Both Funds may invest in fixed income securities consisting of corporate notes, bonds and debentures, including those that are rated less than investment grade at the time of purchase. Both Funds are non-diversified, meaning that the Funds may concentrate investments in a more limited number of issuers than a diversified fund. Both Funds may invest a large percentage of assets in a few sectors. Both Funds may invest in early stage companies.

Other investment strategies. The 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund may lend securities to qualified brokers, dealers, banks, and other financial institutions for the purpose of realizing additional income; may invest in other investment companies, real estate investment trusts (REITs), obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government and securities of foreign issuers; may engage in repurchase transactions; and may engage in options transactions as well as futures transactions and invest in options on futures solely for hedging purposes. The corresponding Wasatch Fund may also engage in securities lending, engage in repurchase transactions, and invest in the foregoing instruments but has indicated that these are non-principal investment strategies. As a non-principal investment strategy, the Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund may also engage in option transactions, future transactions and engage in options on futures transactions for hedging purposes.

What are the fees and expenses of each Fund and what should I expect them to be after the Reorganization?

Investment advisory (management) fee. Pursuant to the Reorganization, the shareholders of the 1st Source Funds will receive shares of the corresponding Wasatch Fund equal in value to their investment in the 1st Source Fund if the Reorganization is approved. Accordingly, the 1st Source shareholders will become shareholders of the corresponding Wasatch Fund. Wasatch Advisors is the adviser to the Wasatch Funds. 1st Source Advisors will serve as a sub-adviser to the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund. The management fees for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund and the Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund will be the same as the corresponding 1st Source Fund. The management fee for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund is 0.90% of average daily net assets, which is 0.10% higher than the management fee of the corresponding 1st Source Income Equity Fund.

In evaluating the Reorganization, the Coventry Board considered, among other things, the proposed fees and expenses of the corresponding Wasatch Funds. The Coventry Board recognized that the management fees of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund were the same as the corresponding 1st Source Fund. Although the management fee of the Wasatch-1st Source Equity Fund was higher than its corresponding 1st Source Fund, the Coventry Board noted that the projected total expense ratio for the Wasatch-1st Source Fund was expected to be lower than the corresponding 1st Source Fund. Further, Wasatch Advisors agreed at the Coventry Board’s request to reimburse the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund for total annual fund operating expenses in excess of 1.10% of average daily net assets through January 31, 2011 (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, other investment related costs and extraordinary expenses). The Coventry Board noted that this expense limitation was below the actual fees of the 1st Source Income Equity Fund for its past fiscal year. Wasatch Advisors also agreed to not increase the management fee of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund for a period of two years following the closing of the Reorganization. In light of the foregoing, including a review of the services that will be provided by Wasatch Advisors, the Coventry Board approved the Reorganization and recommended approval by shareholders.

Expense Ratio Tables. Like all mutual funds, each 1st Source Fund and Wasatch Fund incurs certain expenses in its operations and, as a shareholder, you pay these expenses indirectly. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The following tables compare the actual fees and expenses for each 1st Source Fund for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 with the estimated fees and expenses for the corresponding Wasatch Fund for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, on a pro forma basis assuming the Reorganization is approved. Actual expense information for the Wasatch Funds is not provided as they are newly-organized funds created for the purpose of this Reorganization and will not commence operations until the consummation of the Reorganization is approved. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these portfolios will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the expense levels for the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels of the Wasatch Funds will be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions or intermediaries directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered actual representations of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

As reflected in the tables below, the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds do not impose a sales charge. The Wasatch Funds charge a 2% redemption fee for redemptions of shares made within 60 days after they were purchased, subject to certain exceptions. Wasatch Funds will waive the redemption fee for all transferring 1st Source Fund shareholders for a period of 60 days following the Reorganization. The 1st Source Funds do not assess a redemption fee. The 1st Source Funds have authorized a plan of distribution whereby the 1st Source Funds could charge a fee of up to 0.25% under Rule 12b-1, although this fee has never been imposed. The Wasatch Funds do not have a Rule 12b-1 plan. With respect to each Fund’s net annual operating expenses, it is

anticipated that each Wasatch Fund will have a lower overall expense ratio after any contractual expense limitations and fee waivers than its corresponding 1 st Source Fund.

A redemption fee of 2% of redemption proceeds applies to Wasatch Fund shares redeemed within 60 days after the date they were purchased. This fee is intended to discourage frequent trading of Fund shares that can negatively affect the Fund’s performance. The fee does not apply to shares purchased through reinvested dividends or capital gains or shares held in certain omnibus accounts or retirement plans that cannot implement the fee. Wasatch Funds will waive the redemption fee for all transferring 1st Source Funds shareholders for a period of 60 days following the Reorganization.

Examples. These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in each 1st Source Fund as it currently exists with estimated costs of investing in the corresponding Wasatch Fund after the Reorganization. These examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a specified Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares of that Fund at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return each year, no change in expenses for the specified Fund as stated in the above tables and the expense limitations for one year only (if applicable). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

What are the general tax consequences of the Reorganization?

It is expected that shareholders of each 1st Source Fund will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the exchange of their shares in the 1st Source Funds for shares of the Wasatch Funds pursuant to the Reorganization (although there can be no assurance that the IRS will adopt a similar position). You should, however, consult your tax adviser regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of your individual circumstances. You should also consult your tax adviser about other state and local tax consequences of the Reorganization, if any, because the information about tax consequences in this document relates to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization only. For further information about the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, see “Information about the Reorganization and the Plan—What are the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization?

As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, Coventry Group and the Company will receive an opinion from Thompson Hine LLP, counsel to the Coventry Group, (based on certain facts, qualifications, assumptions and representations) to the effect that for each 1st Source Fund, the Reorganization, for federal income tax purposes, will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

What are other differences between the 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds?

Service Providers

1st Source Advisors currently serves as investment adviser to the 1st Source Funds. Wasatch Advisors will serve as the investment adviser to each Wasatch Fund. 1st Source Advisors will serve as the sub-adviser to the Wasatch-1 st Source Income Fund.

For more information about the advisers and the investment advisory fees of each 1st Source Fund and the corresponding Wasatch Fund, please see the sections titled: “What are the fees and expenses of each Fund and what should I expect them to be after the Reorganization?” and “Comparison of 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds—Who Manages the Funds?”

The 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds currently have different administrators, distributors, transfer agents and other service providers. For more information about the management of the Wasatch Funds and other service providers to the Wasatch Funds, see “Comparison of 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds—“Who manages the Funds?” and “What are other key features of the Funds?”

Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Policies

The 1st Source Funds’ and Wasatch Funds’ purchase, redemption, exchange and dividend policies and procedures are similar. For more information, see “Comparison of 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds—What are other key features of the Funds?”. See also Appendix B for a comparison of pricing, purchase, exchange and redemption procedures.

Where can I find more financial information about the Funds?

The 1st Source Funds’ annual report contains a discussion of each 1st Source Fund’s performance during the past fiscal year and shows per share information for each of the past five fiscal years or if a 1st Source Fund has not been in operation for more than five years, for the life of the 1st Source Fund. The audited financial statements and related reports of the independent auditors are incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information. See also “Financial Highlights” in the 1st Source Funds Prospectus. These documents also are available upon request. The Wasatch Funds are newly-organized and have not yet commenced operations and thus have not published an annual or semi-annual report. For additional information about the Funds, see “More Information About the Funds” below.

What are the principal risks associated with investments in the Funds?

General Risks.

Like all investments, an investment in a 1st Source Fund or a Wasatch Fund involves risk. All investments carry some degree of risk that will affect the value of the Fund, its investment performance and the price of its shares. As a result, you could lose money if you invest in a 1st Source Fund or a Wasatch Fund. There is no assurance that a fund will meet its investment objective. The ability of a 1st Source Fund or a Wasatch Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend, among other things, on the portfolio managers’ analytical and portfolio management skills. An investment in a 1st Source Fund or a Wasatch Fund is not a deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

As noted, it is anticipated that the 1st Source Fund and its corresponding Wasatch Fund will be similarly managed. Given the similarity in investment policies and strategies, the investment risk applicable to the 1st Source Fund and its corresponding Wasatch Fund are also expected to be substantially similar. In addition to the general risks, specific risks applicable to the 1st Source Fund and its corresponding Wasatch Fund are summarized below including any salient differences.

 

19


Table of Contents

Specific Risks.

 

1.

1st Source Monogram Income Fund/Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund

Market Risk. Volatile financial markets can expose the Fund to greater market risk. The value of the securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments affecting general economic conditions. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods.

Stock Selection Risk. In addition to, or in spite of, the impact of movements in the overall stock market, the value of a Fund’s portfolio may decline if the companies in which a Fund invests do not perform well in the market and underperform other types of securities.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that a debt security’s value will decline due to changes in market interest rates. Even though some interest-bearing securities offer a stable stream of income, their prices will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.

Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the risk related to the credit quality of the issuer of a security held in a Fund’s portfolio. The lower a bond issue is rated by an agency, the more credit risk it is considered to represent. A Fund could lose money if the issuer of a security is unable to meet its financial obligations.

Income Risk. Income risk refers to the risk that the income from the Fund’s portfolio will decline because of falling market interest rates. This can result when the Fund invests the proceeds from new share sales, or from matured or called bonds at market interest rates that are below a portfolio’s current earnings rate.

Convertible Securities Risk. Both the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund and the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund may invest in convertible securities. Convertible securities are preferred stocks or debt obligations that are convertible into common stock. Generally, convertible securities offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality and less potential for gains or capital appreciation in a rising stock market than other equity securities. They tend to be more volatile than other fixed income securities, and the markets for convertible securities may be less liquid than markets for common stocks or bonds. Convertible securities have both equity and fixed income risk characteristics. Like all fixed income securities, the value of convertible securities is susceptible to the risk of market losses attributable to changes in interest rates. The market value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates increase. If, however, the market price of the common stock underlying a convertible security approaches or exceeds the conversion price of the convertible security, the convertible security tends to reflect the market price of the underlying common stock. In such a case, a convertible security may lose much or all of its value if the value of the underlying common stock then falls below the conversion price of the security. As the market price of the underlying common stock declines, the convertible security tends to trade increasingly based on its fixed income characteristics, and thus, may not necessarily decline in price as much as the underlying common stock. Additionally, an issuer may have the right to buy back certain of the convertible securities at a time and price that is unfavorable to the Fund.

Derivatives Risk. Both the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund may suffer a loss from its use of put and call options and futures contracts, which are forms of derivatives. A derivative contract will obligate or entitle a Fund to deliver or receive an asset or cash payment based on the change in one or more securities, currencies or indexes. The primary risk with many derivatives is that they can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative instrument. A relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in an immediate and substantial loss (or gain) to the Fund. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited losses regardless of the size of the initial investment. Investments in derivatives also entail exposure to the credit and default risk of the derivative’s counterparty. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the relevant assets, rates and indexes. Derivatives may also be less liquid and may be difficult or impossible to sell or terminate at a desirable time or price. Use of derivatives may increase the amount and affect the timing and character of taxes payable by

 

20


Table of Contents

shareholders. A Fund may engage in these derivative transactions to hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of portfolio securities because of changes in market prices, currency exchange rates or interest rates. A Fund may not fully benefit or may lose money on derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings. Another risk of derivatives is counterparty risk-the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction will not perform its obligations-which could leave the Fund worse off than if it had not entered into the position.

Ratings Agency Risk. Credit quality in the high yield securities market can change suddenly and unexpectedly, and even recently issued credit ratings may not fully reflect the actual risks posed by a particular high yield security. For these reasons, it is generally the policy of 1st Source Advisors, the adviser to the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund and the sub-adviser to the corresponding Wasatch Fund, not to rely exclusively on ratings issued by established credit rating agencies, but to supplement such ratings with its own independent and on-going review of credit quality. The achievement of the Fund’s investment objective by investment in such securities may be more dependent on 1st Source Advisor’s credit analysis than is the case for higher quality bonds. Should the rating of a portfolio security be downgraded, 1st Source Advisors will determine whether it is in the best interests of the Fund to retain or dispose of such security.

Repurchase Agreements Risk. Both the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund and the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund may invest in repurchase agreements. As it pertains to the Fund, a repurchase agreement is a contract in which the seller of U.S. Treasury securities (a member of the Federal Reserve System or a recognized securities dealer) agrees to buy back the same securities (collateral) at a later date and at a predetermined price or yield. The main risk of a repurchase agreement is that the original seller might default on its obligation to repurchase the securities. If the seller defaults, the Fund will seek to recover its investment by selling the collateral and could encounter restrictions, costs or delays. The Fund will suffer a loss if it sells the collateral for less than the repurchase price.

Non-Investment Grade Securities Risk. Although the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund only invests in investment grade debt securities, the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in non-investment grade securities and therefore is subject to the risks associated with such securities. High yield, or non-investment grade, securities (also known as “junk bonds”) are those rated below investment grade by the primary rating agencies (e.g., below BB/Ba by S&P/Moody’s) and are considered speculative. Compared to investment grade debt securities, non-investment grade debt securities tend to have more volatile prices and increased price sensitivity to changing interest rates and adverse economic and business developments. In addition, compared to investments in investment grade securities, investments in non-investment grade securities are subject to greater risk of loss due to default or a decline in credit quality, a greater likelihood that adverse economic or company-specific events will make the issuer unable to make interest and/or principal payments, and greater susceptibility to negative market sentiment, leading to depressed prices and decreased liquidity.

When-Issued Securities. Both the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis (i.e., for delivery beyond the normal settlement date at a stated price and yield). When a Fund engages in “when-issued” transactions, it relies on the seller to consummate the trade. Failure of the seller to do so may result in a Fund’s incurring a loss or missing the opportunity to obtain a price considered to be advantageous. A Fund will engage in “when-issued” delivery transactions only for the purpose of acquiring portfolio securities consistent with such Fund’s investment objectives and policies and not for investment leverage.

Investment Companies Risk. Both the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies, including foreign and domestic registered and unregistered open-end funds, closed-end funds, and unit investment trusts and exchange traded funds. Investing in another investment company subjects a Fund to the same risks associated with investing in the securities held by the applicable investment company and the investment strategies employed by such funds (such as the use of leverage). In addition, the benefit of investing in another investment company is largely dependent on the skill of

 

21


Table of Contents

the investment advisor of the underlying company and whether the associated fees and costs involved with investing in such company are offset by the potential gains. As a shareholder in an investment company, a fund will bear its ratable share of that investment company’s expenses including advisory and administrative fees. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent a fund invests in other investment companies.

Credit Default Swaps Risk. Both the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund may enter into credit default swaps, interest rate swaps and currency swaps. Swap agreements tend to shift a Fund’s investment exposure from one type of investment to another. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a Fund’s investments and its share price and yield. Swaps are subject to counterparty risk. The Fund bears the loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of a default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty; for this reason the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness.

Other Risks.

Foreign Securities Risk. Both the 1st Source Monogram Income Fund and the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund may invest in foreign securities. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers have special risks. These risks include international economic and political developments, foreign government actions including restrictions on payments to non-domestic persons such as the Fund, less regulation, less information, currency fluctuations and interruptions in currency flow. Investments in foreign securities also entail higher costs. A Fund’s investments in foreign securities may be in the form of sponsored or unsponsored depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”). Ownership of unsponsored depositary receipts may not entitle the Fund to financial and other reports from the issuer of the underlying security, and certain costs related to the receipts that would otherwise be borne by the issuer of a sponsored depositary receipt may be passed through, in whole or in part, to holders of the receipts.

Although each Fund may invest in foreign securities, Wasatch Advisors does not believe this is a principal strategy and therefore the risk of investing in foreign securities will not be considered or reflected as a principal risk for the Wasatch Fund.

 

2.

1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund/Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund

Stock Market Risk. The value of the equity securities in which a Fund invests may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies, industries and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods. Historically, stock prices have fluctuated in cycles.

Stock Selection Risk. In addition to, or in spite of, the impact of movements in the overall stock market, the value of a Fund’s portfolio may decline if the companies in which a Fund invests do not perform well in the market and underperform other types of securities.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that a debt security’s value will decline due to changes in market interest rates. Even though some interest-bearing securities offer a stable stream of income, their prices will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.

Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the risk related to the credit quality of the issuer of a security held in a Fund’s portfolio. The lower a bond issue is rated by an agency, the more credit risk it is considered to represent. A Fund could lose money if the issuer of a security is unable to meet its financial obligations.

Small Company Stock Risk. The stocks of small companies may be more susceptible to market downturns, and their prices may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small companies often have narrower

 

22


Table of Contents

markets and more limited managerial and financial resources, and product lines than larger, more established companies. As a result, they may be more sensitive to changing economic conditions, which could increase the volatility of a Fund’s portfolio. Small companies’ stocks typically are traded in lower volume, making them more difficult or impossible to sell at a time or price that is desirable, and their issuers are subject to greater fluctuations in their earnings and prospects.

Value Investing Risk. Value investing attempts to identify strong companies selling at a discount from their perceived true worth. Advisers using this approach generally select stocks at prices, in their view, that are temporarily low relative to the company’s earnings, assets, cash flow and dividends. Value investing is subject to the risk that the stocks’ intrinsic values may never be fully recognized or realized by the market, or their prices may go down. There is also the risk that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced.

Sector Weightings Risk. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single sector and securities of companies in that sector could react similarly to these or other developments. If the Fund invests in a few sectors it may have more exposure to the price movements of those sectors than funds that diversify their investments among many sectors.

Other Risks.

Foreign Securities Risk. Both the 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund and the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund may invest in foreign securities. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers have special risks. These risks include international economic and political developments, foreign government actions including restrictions on payments to non-domestic persons such as the Fund, less regulation, less information, currency fluctuations and interruptions in currency flow. Investments in foreign securities also entail higher costs. A Fund’s investments in foreign securities may be in the form of sponsored or unsponsored depositary receipts, such as ADRs, GDRs and EDRs. Ownership of unsponsored depositary receipts may not entitle the Fund to financial and other reports from the issuer of the underlying security, and certain costs related to the receipts that would otherwise be borne by the issuer of a sponsored depositary receipt may be passed through, in whole or in part, to holders of the receipts.

Although each Fund may invest in foreign securities, Wasatch Advisors does not believe this is a principal strategy and therefore the risk of investing in foreign securities will not be considered a principal risk for the Wasatch Fund.

 

3.

1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund/Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund

Stock Market Risk. The value of the equity securities in which a Fund invests may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies, industries and/or general economic conditions, although the value of short securities may rise in such circumstances. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods. Historically, stock prices have fluctuated in cycles.

Stock Selection Risk. While it may be the intent of the investment adviser to take long positions in stocks that are undervalued and are expected to subsequently outperform the market and short positions in stocks that are overvalued and are expected to underperform the market, in various market conditions, there is no assurance that the Advisor will be successful in its selection process.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that a debt security’s value will decline due to changes in market interest rates. Even though some interest-bearing securities offer a stable stream of income, their prices will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.

Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the risk related to the credit quality of the issuer of a security held in a Fund’s portfolio. The lower a bond issue is rated by an agency, the more credit risk it is considered to represent. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a security is unable to meet its financial obligations.

Non-Investment Grade Securities Risk. Both Funds may invest in non-investment grade securities and therefore are subject to the risks associated with such securities. High yield, or non-investment grade, securities (also known as “junk bonds”) are those rated below investment grade by the primary rating agencies (e.g., below BB/Ba by S&P/Moody’s) and are considered speculative. Compared to investment grade debt securities, non-investment grade debt securities tend to have more volatile prices and increased price sensitivity to changing interest rates and adverse economic and business developments. In addition, compared to investments in investment grade securities, investments in non-investment grade securities are subject to greater risk of loss due to default or a decline in credit quality, a greater likelihood that adverse economic or company-specific events will make the issuer unable to make interest and/or principal payments, and greater susceptibility to negative market sentiment, leading to depressed prices and decreased liquidity.

Market Direction Risk. Since the Funds have both a “long” and a “short” portfolio, an investment in a Fund will involve market risks associated with different types of investment decisions than those made for a typical “long only” stock fund. A Fund’s results will suffer both when there is a general stock market advance and a Fund holds significant “short” equity positions, or when there is a general stock market decline when a Fund holds significant “long” equity positions.

Short Sales Risk. There are certain unique risks associated with the use of short sales strategies. The investment adviser may sell a security short by borrowing it from a third party and selling it at the then-current market price. A Fund is then obligated to buy the security at a later date so it can return the security to the lender. Short sales therefore involve the risk that the Fund will incur a loss by subsequently buying a security at a higher price than the price at which a Fund previously sold the security short. This would occur if the securities lender required a Fund to deliver the securities a Fund had borrowed at the commencement of the short sale and a Fund was unable to borrow the securities from other securities lenders. Moreover, because a Fund’s loss on a short sale arises from increases in the value of the security sold short, such loss, like the price of the security sold short, is theoretically unlimited. By contrast, a Fund’s loss on a long position arises from decreases in the value of the security and therefore is limited by the fact that a security’s value cannot drop below zero.

Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Funds are a non-diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, they may concentrate their investments in a more limited number of issuers than a diversified fund. Accordingly, each Fund is subject to the risks related to the fact that the decline in the market value of a particular security held by each Fund may directly affect the net asset value of each Fund more than if each Fund were operated as a diversified fund. In addition, because of its ability to concentrate its investments in a limited number of issuers, each Fund is more subject to the economic, political and/or regulatory factors that may affect the value of those particular issuers.

Portfolio Turnover Rate. A Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is expected to exceed 200%. This type of Fund has a high portfolio turnover that necessarily results in greater transaction costs and causes more short-term capital gains (or losses) to be realized. Distributions to shareholders of short-term capital gains are taxed as ordinary income under federal income tax laws.

Small Company Stock Risk. The stocks of small companies may be more susceptible to market downturns, and their prices may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small companies often have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial resources, and product lines than larger, more established companies. As a result, they may be more sensitive to changing economic conditions, which could increase the volatility of a Fund’s portfolio. Small companies’ stocks typically are traded in lower volume, making them more difficult or impossible to sell at a time or price that is desirable, and their issuers are subject to greater fluctuations in their earnings and prospects.

Early Stage Companies Risk. Early stage companies may not be profitable now and there is no guarantee that they will become profitable or be able to obtain necessary financing. They may rely on untested business

plans, may not be successful in developing markets for their products or services and may remain an insignificant part of their industry. Stocks of early stage companies may be illiquid or they may not be publicly traded. Investments in early stage companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative than investments in more established companies.

Value Investing Risk. Value investing attempts to identify strong companies selling at a discount from their perceived true worth. Advisors using this approach generally select stocks at prices, in their view, that are temporarily low relative to the company’s earnings, assets, cash flow and dividends. Value investing is subject to the risk that the stocks’ intrinsic values may never be fully recognized or realized by the market, or their prices may go down. There is also the risk that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced.

Sector Weightings Risk. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single sector and securities of companies in that sector could react similarly to these or other developments. If the Fund invests in a few sectors it may have more exposure to the price movements of those sectors than funds that diversify their investments among many sectors.

Other Risks.

Foreign Securities Risk. Both the 1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund and the Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund may invest in foreign securities. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers have special risks. These risks include international economic and political developments, foreign government actions including restrictions on payments to non-domestic persons such as the Fund, less regulation, less information, currency fluctuations and interruptions in currency flow. Investments in foreign securities also entail higher costs. A Fund’s investments in foreign securities may be in the form of sponsored or unsponsored depositary receipts, such as ADRs, GDRs and EDRs. Ownership of unsponsored depositary receipts may not entitle the Fund to financial and other reports from the issuer of the underlying security, and certain costs related to the receipts that would otherwise be borne by the issuer of a sponsored depositary receipt may be passed through, in whole or in part, to holders of the receipts.

Although each Fund may invest in foreign securities, Wasatch Advisors does not believe this is a principal strategy and therefore the risk of foreign securities will not be considered a principal risk for the Wasatch Fund.

Other Investment Strategies

The 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds may use other investment strategies in addition to their principal strategies.

REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION

Based on the considerations described below, the Coventry Board, including the Independent Trustees, on behalf of the 1st Source Funds, determined that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of the 1st Source Funds and that the interests of the 1st Source Funds’ existing shareholders would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

At a meeting of the Coventry Board held on August 13, 2008, 1st Source Advisors discussed with the Coventry Board the rapid growth of the 1st Source Funds, the increasing amount of resources necessary to support that growth, the success and visibility of the portfolio managers responsible for the 1st Source Funds and the rising cost of attracting and retaining talented managers. As a result to these developments, 1st Source Advisors reported that its parent, 1st Source Corporation, had began to look for a firm with which it could partner, with the goal of keeping the portfolio management team together and managing the 1st Source Funds. The Coventry Board was informed that 1st Source Advisors had found a partner in Wasatch Advisors. Pursuant to an agreement in principal with WA Holdings, Inc., Wasatch Advisors parent company, Wasatch Advisors agreed to assume certain parts of 1st Source Advisors asset management business and to hire the portfolio managers responsible for managing the 1st Source Income Equity Fund and the 1st Source Long/Short Fund. Because the portfolio managers for the 1st Source Income Equity Fund and the 1st Source Long/Short Fund would be employed by Wasatch Advisors, 1st Source Advisors recommended that the 1st Source Funds be reorganized into the three newly organized series of the Wasatch Funds pursuant to the Plan. Under the agreement with WA Holdings, Inc., the portfolio manager for the 1st Source Income Fund would continue as an employee of 1st Source Advisors, which would be retained by Wasatch Advisors to sub-advise the 1st Source Income Fund. 1st Source Advisors and Wasatch Advisors then presented the Plan to the Coventry Board for consideration and discussion and provided the Trustees with data and analysis regarding the proposed Reorganization. The Coventry Board considered the data and analysis and a number of factors, including the following:

 

   

The analysis of the overall capabilities of Wasatch Advisors as an investment adviser, including the depth of research resources;

 

   

The creation of the corresponding, newly-organized Wasatch Funds in connection with the Reorganization;

 

 

 

The portfolio managers that will manage the Wasatch Funds;

 

 

 

The current fees and expenses of the 1st Source Funds and the expected fees of the Wasatch Funds and the anticipated reduction in overall fund expense ratios;

 

   

Information regarding the proposed new service providers;

 

 

 

The identical investment objectives of the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds;

 

 

 

The substantially similar investment strategies, principal risks, and investment restrictions of the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds following the Reorganization;

 

 

 

The intended tax-free nature of the Reorganization with respect to each 1st Source Fund and its shareholders;

 

 

 

The terms and conditions of the Plan, which includes provisions intended to avoid dilution of the interests of shareholders of each 1st Source Fund. Under the Plan, each shareholder will receive shares of the corresponding Wasatch Fund equal in value to his/her share of the net assets of the 1st Source Fund held;

 

 

 

The 1st Source Funds and their shareholders would not bear any costs of the Reorganization; and

 

 

 

The potential benefits of the proposed Reorganization for the shareholders of the 1st Source Funds.

 

26


Table of Contents

In considering the Reorganization, the Coventry Board reviewed the overall capabilities of Wasatch Advisors as an investment adviser. The Coventry Board received and considered a presentation from Wasatch Advisors regarding Wasatch Advisors’ history and business operations. The Coventry Board also noted the research resources provided by Wasatch Advisors which would be available to the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund.

The Coventry Board noted that the investment objectives for the 1st Source Funds are identical to the investment objectives of the Wasatch Funds. The Coventry Board considered that the Wasatch Funds are newly-organized investment companies created for purposes of this Reorganization, which should allow for a relatively smooth transition for shareholders of the 1st Source Funds should the proposed Reorganization be approved by shareholders. The Coventry Board received a representation from Wasatch Advisors that the investment strategies, investment restrictions, and principal risks of the 1st Source Funds and corresponding Wasatch Fund are substantially the same. See “Summary: How do the investment objectives and investment strategies of each 1st Source Fund and the corresponding Wasatch Fund compare?” The Coventry Board further considered that the same portfolio managers of the 1st Source Funds would serve as portfolio managers to the corresponding Wasatch Funds following the Reorganization although an additional portfolio manager would be added to the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund. In light of the foregoing, it was expected that the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds will be similarly managed.

In deciding whether to recommend approval of the Reorganization to shareholders, the Coventry Board also considered the fees and expense ratios of the 1st Source Funds compared to the fees and expected expense ratios of the Wasatch Funds. The Coventry Board noted that the management fees will not change for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund and that the management fee of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund will be higher than that of the corresponding 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund. The projected fund expense ratio, expressed as a percentage of average daily net assets, are expected to be lower for each of the Wasatch Funds following the Reorganization. In addition, Wasatch Advisors agreed to the Coventry Board’s request, to reimburse the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund for total annual fund operating expenses in excess of 1.10% of average daily net assets through January 31, 2011 (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, other investment related costs and extraordinary expenses). The Coventry Board recognized this expense limitation represents a reduction in fees compared to the actual fees of the 1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund for the past fiscal year. In addition, Wasatch Advisors agreed not to recommend or request an increase to the advisory fee for the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund for a period of two years following the closing of the transaction.

The Coventry Board noted certain anticipated cost savings as certain services currently provided to the 1st Source Funds by other service providers and being charged to the 1st Source Funds as other expenses will now be provided by Wasatch Advisors.

The Coventry Board considered the estimated cost of the Reorganization, including the costs associated with the solicitation of proxies. The Coventry Board considered that Wasatch Advisors has agreed to pay for all of the costs related to the solicitation of the shareholders of the 1st Source Funds (inclusive of legal fees and expenses, printing, mailing the proxy statement and soliciting proxies) to the extent such costs are solely and directly related to the Reorganization. Any other costs that are solely and directly related to the Reorganization and not reflected in the foregoing sentence shall be shared by Wasatch Advisors and 1st Source Advisors, as they may mutually agree. Accordingly, the 1st Source Funds and shareholders of the 1st Source Funds will not bear any fees and expenses of the Reorganization, including, without limitation, costs of legal advice, accounting, printing, mailing, proxy solicitation, and transfer taxes. The Coventry Board further considered that the expenses of the Reorganization would be borne by Wasatch Advisors, regardless of whether the Reorganization is consummated.

Based on information provided at the Meeting, the Coventry Board also considered that it is intended that the Reorganization will constitute a tax-free reorganization for the participating 1st Source Funds and their respective shareholders as well as the corresponding Wasatch Funds. Therefore, it is anticipated that shareholders will not recognize any taxable gains or losses due to the Reorganization.

Table of Contents

Following the discussion, the Coventry Board approved the Plan, concluding that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the 1st Source Funds and that no dilution of value would result to the shareholders of the 1st Source Funds from the Reorganization. The Coventry Board recommended that shareholders of the 1st Source Funds approve the Reorganization.

On August 27, 2008, the Wasatch Funds’ Board of Directors also approved the Plan.

FOR THE REASONS DISCUSSED ABOVE, THE COVENTRY BOARD

UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL.

The shareholders of each 1st Source Fund must separately approve the Reorganization with respect to their 1st Source Fund in order for the Reorganization to be approved for that Fund. Additionally, the Reorganization must be approved by all three 1st Source Funds for the Reorganization to be effected. In the event a 1st Source Fund fails to receive sufficient votes for approval of the Reorganization, management will consider appropriate options. If the shareholders of any of the 1st Source Funds do not approve the Plan, the Coventry Board may consider other possible courses of action for the 1st Source Funds that did not approve the Plan, which may include liquidation.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION AND THE PLAN

This is only a summary of the Plan. You should read the actual Plan relating to the Reorganization, which is attached as Appendix C to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference.

How will the Reorganization be carried out?

If the shareholders of each 1st Source Fund approve the Plan, the Reorganization will take place after the parties to the Plan satisfy various conditions set forth in the Plan.

Each 1st Source Fund will transfer to the corresponding Wasatch Fund its assets on the Closing Date in exchange solely for shares of the corresponding Wasatch Fund and the corresponding Wasatch Fund’s assumption of the applicable 1st Source Fund’s liabilities. The Plan further provides that each 1st Source Fund will distribute the shares received from the corresponding Wasatch Fund proportionately to its shareholders and terminate. Each shareholder of a 1st Source Fund will receive the number of full and fractional shares of the corresponding Wasatch Fund equal in value to that of the shares of the applicable 1st Source Fund. The value of the assets to be delivered to the Wasatch Funds shall be the value of such assets computed as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the last business day prior to the Closing Date. The Closing Date is scheduled to occur on December 15, 2008 or on a later date as Wasatch Advisors and 1st Source Advisors may agree.

If the Reorganization is approved by shareholders, the stock transfer books of the 1st Source Funds will be permanently closed as of the close of business of the NYSE on the business day before the Closing Date. The 1st Source Funds will accept requests for redemption only if received in proper form before that time. Requests received after that time will be considered requests to redeem shares of the Wasatch Funds.

To the extent permitted by law, the Plan may be amended without shareholder approval as mutually agreed by the authorized officers of the 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds provided that after the meeting, no such amendment may have the effect of changing provisions for determining the number of Wasatch Fund shares to be issued to the 1st Source Fund shareholders under the Plan to the detriment of 1st Source Fund shareholders without further approval. The respective Board may also agree to terminate and abandon the Reorganization at any time before or after the approval of shareholders of the 1st Source Funds or may terminate and abandon the Reorganization if certain conditions required under the Plan have not been satisfied.

If the Reorganization is approved, 1st Source Fund shareholders who do not wish to have their shares exchanged for shares of a Wasatch Fund as part of the Reorganization may redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Reorganization. If you redeem your shares, you may recognize a taxable gain or loss.

Who will pay the expenses of the Reorganization?

Wasatch Advisors has agreed to pay for all of the costs related to the solicitation of the shareholders of the 1st Source Funds (inclusive of legal fees and expenses, printing, mailing the proxy statement and soliciting proxies) to the extent such costs are solely and directly related to the Reorganization. Any other costs that are solely and directly related to the Reorganization and not reflected in the foregoing sentence shall be shared by Wasatch Advisors and 1st Source Advisors, as they may mutually agree.

What are the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization?

The Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a)(1) of the Code. Based on certain assumptions made and representations to be made on behalf of the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds, it is expected that Thompson Hine LLP will provide a legal opinion that, for federal income tax purposes:

 

 

(i)

The transfer of all of a 1st Source Fund’s assets solely in exchange for the corresponding Wasatch Fund shares and the assumption by the corresponding Wasatch Fund of the liabilities of the 1st Source Fund

 

29


Table of Contents
 

followed by the distribution of the Wasatch Fund shares to such 1st Source Fund shareholders in dissolution and liquidation of such 1st Source Fund will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and each Wasatch Fund and each 1st Source Fund will each be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code.

 

 

(ii)

No gain or loss will be recognized by each Wasatch Fund upon the receipt of the assets of the corresponding 1st Source Fund solely in exchange for the Wasatch Fund shares and the assumption by each Wasatch Fund of the liabilities of the corresponding 1 st Source Fund.

 

 

(iii)

No gain or loss will be recognized by a 1st Source Fund upon the transfer of that 1st Source Fund’s assets to the corresponding Wasatch Fund solely in exchange for the Wasatch Fund shares and the assumption by the corresponding Wasatch Fund of the liabilities of the 1st Source Fund or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive) of the Wasatch Fund shares to 1st Source Fund shareholders in exchange for their shares of the 1st Source Fund.

 

 

(iv)

No gain or loss will be recognized by 1st Source Fund shareholders upon the exchange of their shares of a 1st Source Fund for shares of the corresponding Wasatch Fund in liquidation of the 1st Source Fund.

 

 

(v)

The aggregate adjusted basis of the Wasatch Fund shares received by each 1st Source Fund shareholder pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate adjusted basis of the 1st Source Fund shares held by such shareholder immediately prior to the Closing Date. The holding period of the Wasatch Fund shares received by each 1st Source Fund shareholder will include the period during which the 1st Source Fund shares exchanged therefore were held by such shareholder (provided the 1st Source Fund shares were held as capital assets on the Closing Date).

 

 

(vi)

The adjusted basis of the 1st Source Fund assets acquired by the corresponding Wasatch Fund will be the same as the adjusted basis of such assets to the 1st Source Fund immediately prior to the Closing Date, and the holding period of the assets of the 1st Source Fund in the hands of the corresponding Wasatch Fund will include the period during which those assets were held by the 1st Source Fund.

 

 

(vii)

For purposes of Section 381 of the Code, either (a) a Wasatch Fund will be treated as the same corporation as the corresponding 1st Source Fund and the tax attributes of such 1st Source Fund enumerated in Section 381(c) of the Code will be taken into account by the Wasatch Fund as if there had been no reorganization; or (b) a Wasatch Fund will succeed to and take into account the items of the corresponding 1st Source Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in Sections 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder.

Such opinion shall contain such assumptions and limitations as shall be in the opinion of Thompson Hine LLP appropriate to render the opinions expressed therein and are reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Wasatch Funds. Thompson Hine’s opinion is further limited in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. Such opinion may state that no opinion is expressed regarding the following: (i) the federal income tax consequences of the payment of Reorganization expenses by Wasatch Advisors and 1st Source Advisors, except in relation to the qualification of the transfer of each 1st Source Fund’s assets to its respective Wasatch Fund as a reorganization under Section 368(a); (ii) the effect of the Reorganization on any 1st Source Fund with respect to any transferred asset as to which unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting (including under Section 1258 of the Code); (iii) the effect of the Reorganization on any shareholder of any 1st Source Fund that is required to recognize unrealized gains or losses for federal income tax purposes and are mark-to-market system of accounting; (iv) whether accrued market discount on any market discount bonds held by any 1st Source Fund, if any, will be required to be recognized as ordinary income under Section 1276 as a result of the Reorganization; and (v) any state, local or foreign tax consequences of the Reorganization. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Wasatch Funds nor the 1st Source Funds may waive the conditions set forth in subsections (i) through (vii) above.

 

30


Table of Contents

Neither Coventry Group nor the Company has sought a tax ruling from the IRS. The opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS nor does it preclude the IRS from adopting a contrary position.

Capital losses can generally be carried forward to each of the eight years succeeding the loss year to offset future capital gains. Each Wasatch Fund will inherit the tax attributes of the corresponding 1st Source Fund, including any available capital loss carryforwards, as of the Closing Date. It is not expected that any such capital loss carryforwards will be subject to an annual limitation for federal income tax purposes in connection with the Reorganization because each Reorganization should either: (i) qualify as a type “F” tax-free reorganization under the Code, including a mere change in identity, form or place of organization of one corporation, however effected; or (ii) not involve more than a 50% change of ownership.

After the Reorganization, shareholders will continue to be responsible for tracking the adjusted tax basis and holding period for shares for federal income tax purposes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of your individual circumstances. You should also consult your tax adviser about the state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization because this discussion only relates to the federal income tax consequences.

What should I know about shares of the Wasatch Funds?

If the Reorganization is approved for the 1st Source Funds, full and fractional shares of the Wasatch Funds will be distributed to shareholders of the 1st Source Funds in accordance with the procedures described above. When issued, each share will be validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and will have no pre-emptive or conversion rights. The shares of the Wasatch Funds will be recorded electronically in each shareholder’s account. The Wasatch Funds will then send a confirmation to each shareholder. As of the Closing Date, any outstanding certificates, if any, representing shares of the 1st Source Funds will be cancelled.

Comparison of Business Structures

The Company was incorporated under Utah law on November 18, 1986 and re-incorporated as a Minnesota corporation in November 1997. The Company is an open-end investment company and the Wasatch-1st Source Funds are newly-organized series of the Company. The Coventry Group is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is an open-end investment company. The 1st Source Funds are series of the Coventry Group. The following provides information with respect to certain material differences and similarities in the rights of shareholders under Massachusetts law and Minnesota law and the respective governing documents of the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds.

Shareholder Liability

Coventry Group

Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust. However, the Declaration of Trust for the Coventry Group states that shareholders will not be subject to any personal liability in connection with the assets of the Coventry Group, property or for the acts, obligations or affairs of the Coventry Group. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the assets belonging to the series with respect to which such shareholder’s shares are issued, for all losses and expenses of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the Coventry Group solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder.

Company

The Minnesota Business Corporation Act (MBCA) provides that a shareholder of a Minnesota corporation is under no obligation to the corporation or its creditors with respect to the shares he or she owns, other than to pay the corporation the full agreed-upon consideration for which shares are issued.

Table of Contents

Liability of Directors/Trustees

Coventry Group

The Coventry Group’s Declaration of Trust provides that no Trustee of the Coventry Group shall be personally liable to any person, other than to the Coventry Group and its shareholders, in connection with Coventry Group property or the affairs of the Coventry Group absent bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of such Trustee’s duties. Further, no Trustee shall be liable to the Coventry Group and its shareholders for any action or failure to act (including without limitation the failure to compel in any way any former or acting Trustee to redress any breach of trust), except for such Trustee’s bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Coventry Group will indemnify any Trustee to the fullest extent permitted by law against all liability and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of serving as a Trustee; provided, however, that no indemnification will be provided to a Trustee (i) against any liability to the Coventry Group or its shareholders by reason of a final adjudication by a court or other body that the Trustee engaged in bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office; (ii) with respect to any matter at which the Trustee has been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Coventry Group; or (iii) in the event of a settlement or other disposition not involving a final adjudication as provided in (i) and (ii) above that results in a payment by the Trustee, unless there has been a determination that the Trustee did not engage in bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Company

The Company’s articles of incorporation provide that to the fullest extent permitted by the MBCA, a director of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The MBCA provides that such a provision is effective, except that it does not eliminate or limit a director’s liability for (i) any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) illegal distributions with respect to the Company’s shares, or sales of securities in violation of Minnesota securities laws; or (iv) transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Rights of Inspection

Coventry Group

Shareholders of the Coventry Group generally have the right to inspect the records, accounts and books of the Trust, as such right is permitted to shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust under Massachusetts corporation law. Currently, each shareholder of a Massachusetts corporation is permitted to inspect the records, accounts and books of a corporation for any legitimate business purpose relative to the affairs of the corporation.

Company

The MBCA requires the Company to maintain certain corporate records and documents, including records of board of directors and shareholder meetings, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, certain financial statements, reports to shareholders, and a share register. The MBCA also provides that a shareholder or beneficial owner of shares of the Company has, upon written demand stating the purpose, a right at any reasonable time to examine and copy the share register and other corporate records reasonably related to the stated purpose and described with reasonable particularity in the written demand upon demonstrating the stated purpose to be a proper purpose. A “proper purpose” is deemed to be one reasonably related to the person’s interest as a shareholder or beneficial owner. The written demand must be acknowledged or verified in a specified manner, and be directed to the Company at its registered office in Minnesota or at its principal place of business.

Dissenter’s Rights

Coventry Group

The Coventry Group Declaration of Trust provides that ownership of Coventry Group property and the property of each of its series and the right to conduct any business of the Coventry Group is vested exclusively in the Coventry Board, and shareholders have no interest in the Coventry Group other that the beneficial interest conferred by their shares, and they have no right to call for any participation of division of any property, profits, rights or interests of the Coventry Group, nor can they be called upon to share or assume any losses of the Coventry Group or suffer an assessment of any kind by virtue of their ownership of shares. Shares of the Coventry Group are personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth in the Declaration of Trust and do not entitle the shareholder to preference, preemptive, appraisal, conversion or exchange rights, except as may be determined by the Coventry Board.

Company

Under Minnesota Law, shareholders of a corporation which engages in certain merger, exchange, or sale-of-assets transactions, who comply with the applicable statutory procedures, will be entitled to receive a judicial determination of the fair value of their shares and to receive payment of such statutory value in cash, together with a statutory rate of interest thereon. Any such judicial determination of the fair value of the shares could be based upon factors other than, or in addition to, the price per share to be paid in a merger or consolidation transaction or the market value of the shares. The value so determined could be more or less than, or the same as, the price per share to be paid in the transaction. The staff of the SEC has taken the position that federal law pre-empts such statutory rights of appraisal in the case of certain transactions to which an open-end investment company is a party.

Shareholder Meetings

Neither the Coventry Group nor the Company is required to hold annual meetings of shareholders, although each may hold special meetings for purposes of voting on certain matters as required under the 1940 Act. In each case, on any matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, all shares entitled to vote are voted in the aggregate, except when (1) required by the 1940 Act, shares are voted by the individual Fund or class; and (2) the matter involves any action that the Trustees/Directors have determined will affect only the interests of one or more Fund, then only the shareholders of such series shall be entitled to vote thereon.

Coventry Group

A special meeting of shareholders of a Fund may be called at any time by the President, and shall be called by the President and the Secretary at the request in writing or by resolution, of a majority of Trustees, or upon the written request of holders of not less than 10% of that Fund’s issued and outstanding securities entitled to vote. Written shareholder consents in lieu of a meeting are required to be signed by shareholders representing a majority of the shares (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by law, the Coventry Group Declaration of Trust or the Coventry Group’s By-laws for approval of such matter).

Company

If a regular meeting of the Company’s shareholders has not been held during the immediately preceding 15 months, a shareholder or shareholders holding 3% or more of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote may demand a regular meeting of shareholders by written notice of demand given to the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Company.

In addition, a special meeting of shareholders may be called for any purpose at any time by the Company’s Chairman of the Board or President; by two or more directors; or by a shareholder or shareholders holding 10% or more of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote on the matter to be presented to the meeting, except that a special meeting for the purpose of considering any action to facilitate or effect a business combination must be called by 25% or more of such voting power.

Written shareholder consents in lieu of a meeting are required to be signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote on the action.

Reorganization/Combination Transactions

Coventry Group

The Coventry Group, or any of its series, may merge or consolidate with any other corporation, association, trust or other organization, or may sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of its property, or the property of any series, including goodwill. The terms and conditions of any such merger or consolidation must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Coventry Group, or any series, at a meeting of shareholders of the Coventry Group or any series called for that purpose.

Company

A merger or share exchange involving the Company must be approved by the board of directors and, with certain exceptions, by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote. With certain exceptions, a class or series of shares is entitled to vote as a separate class or series if any provision of the plan of merger or exchange would, if contained in a proposed amendment to the articles of incorporation, entitle the class or series to vote as a separate class or series and, in the case of an exchange, if the class or series is included in the exchange.

A sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets, not in the usual and regular course of its business, must be approved by the board of directors and by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote, unless the Company retains a significant continuing business activity after the transaction.

The foregoing provisions would not apply if one or more, but fewer than all, of the series of the Company were combined with one or more other series of the Company or of another company. In that instance, the transaction would be effected by means of an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation, which would require the shareholder vote described below under “Amendment of Charter Documents.”

Amendment of Charter Documents

Coventry Group

Generally, the Declaration of Trust may only be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares outstanding and entitled to vote. However, the Trustees may amend the Declaration of Trust without shareholder approval to: (1) conform it to the requirements of applicable federal or state laws or regulations; (2) change the name of the Trust; or (3) make any other changes which do not materially adversely affect the rights of shareholders.

Company

An amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation may be proposed by the board of directors or by a shareholder or shareholders holding 3% or more of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote. Such an amendment must be approved by shareholders by the greater of (i) a majority of the voting power of the shares present and entitled to vote, and (ii) a majority of the voting power of the minimum number of shares entitled to vote that would constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the shareholder meeting. In certain instances, shareholders are entitled to vote on an amendment by separate series or class. If an amendment does not affect the interests of a particular series or class, holders of that series or class are not entitled to vote on the amendment.

 

34


Table of Contents

Shareholders are not required to approve an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation which changes the Company’s name, or which increases or decreases, but not below the then outstanding shares, the number of authorized shares of the Company or of any class or series of shares.

The Company’s board of directors may adopt, amend or repeal the Company’s bylaws, except that it cannot adopt, amend or repeal a bylaw fixing a quorum for meetings of shareholders, prescribing procedures for removing directors or filling vacancies in the board, or fixing the number of directors or their classifications, qualifications or terms of office. However, the board may adopt or amend a bylaw to increase the number of directors. A shareholder or shareholders holding 3% or more of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote may propose to adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw which the board has adopted, amended or repealed. Such a shareholder-proposed action must be approved by the same vote as an amendment to the articles of incorporation.

What are the capitalizations of the Funds and what might the capitalizations be after the Reorganization?

The following table sets forth the capitalization of each 1st Source Fund as of October 6, 2008 and, on a pro forma basis, the capitalization of each Wasatch Fund as of October 6, 2008, assuming that the Plan is approved. Pro forma capitalization information is provided for each Wasatch Fund, as each such fund will not have commenced operations prior to the Reorganization in which it is participating. The following are examples of the number of shares of a Wasatch Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the corresponding 1st Source Fund if the Reorganization was consummated on December 15, 2008 and do not reflect the number of shares or value of shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization, as depicted, occurs. Each shareholder of a 1st Source Fund will receive the number of full and fractional shares of the corresponding Wasatch Fund equal in value to the value (as of the last business day prior to the Closing Date) of the shares of the applicable 1st Source Fund held by the shareholder. As noted, each Wasatch Fund is a newly-organized fund, without assets or liabilities, and was created for the purpose of acquiring the assets and liabilities of the corresponding 1st Source Fund. Each Wasatch Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial statement purposes.

COMPARISON OF 1st SOURCE FUNDS AND WASATCH FUNDS

This section describes other comparisons that can be made between the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds.

How do the fundamental investment restrictions of the Funds differ?

The Wasatch Funds have adopted investment restrictions which are substantially similar to the 1st Source Funds restrictions. A Fund may not change any of its fundamental investment restrictions without a vote of its shareholders. A non-fundamental investment restriction may be changed by the Board of Directors without shareholder vote. A comparison of each 1st Source Fund’s and Wasatch Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions is set forth in Appendix A. As reflected in the Appendix, the fundamental investment restrictions of each 1st Source Fund are the same as its corresponding Wasatch Fund. In addition, the non-fundamental investment restrictions of the 1st Source Income Fund are substantially similar to those of its corresponding Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund. The Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund have additional investment restrictions that are not applicable to their corresponding 1st Source Fund, however, the Wasatch Funds are expected to be managed in a similar manner as the corresponding 1st Source Funds.

Pricing of Funds and Purchase, Exchange, and Redemption Procedures

Procedures for pricing and procedures and policies relating to the purchase, exchange and redemption of each of the 1st Source Fund’s and each of the Wasatch Fund’s shares are similar. A comparison of the differences in such procedures and policies for the 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds is set forth below as well as in Appendix B.

For additional discussion of these policies and procedures for the 1st Source Funds, see “Shareholder Information”—“Pricing of Funds Shares,” “Purchasing and Adding to Your Shares,” “Selling Your Shares,” “Distribution Arrangements,” and “Exchanging Your Shares” in the 1st Source Prospectus. For additional discussion of these policies and procedures for the Wasatch Funds, see the section “Wasatch Funds—Shareholder Guide” and “Account Policies” in the Wasatch Prospectus.

Pricing of Fund Shares

Shares of both the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds are sold at net asset value (“NAV”) per share.

The net asset value per share of each 1st Source Fund is determined at the time trading closes on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on days when both the NYSE and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago are open for business.

The net asset value per share of each Wasatch Fund is determined at the time trading closes on the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on days when the NYSE is open for business.

The NAV is calculated by adding the total value of a Fund’s investments and other assets, subtracting its liabilities and then dividing that figure by the number of outstanding shares of the Fund.

An order for purchase, sale or exchange of shares is priced at the next NAV calculated after an order is accepted by a Fund. Only purchase orders accepted by the Funds before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time will be effective at that day’s offering price. On occasion, the NYSE will close before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. When that happens, purchase orders accepted after the NYSE closes will be effective the following business day.

The Wasatch Funds are open for business on Columbus Day and Veteran’s Day. The 1st Source Funds do not determine NAVs on these holidays since the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is closed for business on these days.

The WA-Federated Money Market Account and its adviser are not affiliated persons of the Wasatch Funds or Wasatch Advisors, Inc. The shares of the WA-Federated Money Market Account are not offered by the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Please see Appendix B for further information regarding the policies that apply to exchanges between the Wasatch Funds and the WA-Federated Money Market Account.

Other Policies

The Wasatch Funds have a formal policy for closing and re-opening its Funds. The policy is described in Appendix B. The 1st Source Funds do not have a formal policy with respect to closing or re-opening of a 1st Source Fund.

Dividends, Distributions and Taxes

As outlined below, the 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds have similar policies for dividends and distributions.

 

43


Table of Contents

Any income a Fund receives in the form of dividends is paid out, less expenses, to its shareholders. Income dividends on the 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds are usually paid monthly. Capital gains for 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds are distributed at least annually. All dividends and distributions will be automatically reinvested unless the shareholder requests otherwise.

Purchasing shares of the Funds shortly before it makes dividends or capital gain distributions will have the effect of reducing the share price by the amount of the distribution. This is sometimes referred to as “buying a dividend” because, although the distribution is in effect a return of a portion of the purchase price, it is taxable.

Unless you are investing in a tax-deferred account like an IRA or Education Savings Account, you may want to consider waiting to invest until after the Funds make a distribution.

Dividends and capital gain distributions made by the Funds are automatically applied to purchase additional shares of the applicable Fund at the share price on the payable date unless you elect to have distributions paid to you in cash. You may change whether distributions are reinvested or paid in cash at any time by writing to the transfer agent. Changes will be effective for distributions with a record date on or after the date the transfer agent receives your request.

Taxes

This section summarizes some of the main U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning shares of the 1st Source Funds and Wasatch Funds. This section is current as of the date of this prospectus. Tax laws and interpretations change frequently, and these summaries do not describe all of the tax consequences to all taxpayers. For example, these summaries generally do not describe your situation if you are a corporation, a non-U.S. person, a broker/dealer, or other investor with special circumstances. In addition, this section does not describe your state, local or foreign tax consequences.

This federal income tax summary is based in part on the advice of counsel to the Wasatch Funds. The IRS could disagree with any conclusions set forth in this section. In addition, our counsel was not asked to review, and has not reached a conclusion with respect to the federal income tax treatment of the assets to be invested in the Funds. This may not be sufficient for you to use for the purpose of avoiding penalties under federal tax law.

As with any investment, you should seek advice based on your individual circumstances from your own tax advisor.

Each 1st Source Fund and Wasatch Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under the federal tax laws. If a Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company and distributes its income as required by the tax law, the Fund generally will not pay federal income taxes. Dividends paid from a Fund’s net investment income and net short-term capital gains generally will be taxable as ordinary income, whether paid in cash or reinvested as additional shares. It is possible that a portion of the dividends paid from the net investment income of a Fund, will constitute “qualified dividends” eligible for the maximum federal income tax rate of 15% for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011. In certain cases (for example with some capital gains attributable to REIT shares) a higher rate applies. The Funds will inform shareholders of the portion of dividends (if any) that constitutes “qualified dividends.” Distributions paid from a Fund’s long-term capital gains and designated as capital gain distributions generally are taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time the shares were held. The Funds expect that, as a result of their objectives and strategies, distributions (if any) will consist primarily of capital gains.

The tax status of your distributions from your Fund is not affected by whether you reinvest your distributions in additional shares or receive them in cash. The tax laws may require you to treat distributions made to you in January as if you had received them on December 31 of the previous year.

Table of Contents

To the extent that a Fund invests in REITs, the REITs in which a Fund invests may generate significant non-cash deductions, such as depreciation on real estate holdings, while having greater cash flow to distribute to their shareholders. If a REIT distributes more cash than its current or accumulated earnings and profits, a return of capital results. Similarly, a Fund may pay a return of capital distribution to you by distributing more cash than its current or accumulated earnings and profits. The cost basis of your shares will be decreased by the amount of returned capital (but not below zero), which may result in a larger capital gain or smaller capital loss when you sell your shares. To the extent such a distribution exceeds your cost basis in your shares, you generally will be treated as realizing a taxable gain from the sale or exchange of your shares.

Gain or loss upon the sale of shares of a Fund generally will be treated as a capital gain or loss, provided that (as is usually the case) the shares represented a capital asset in the hands of the shareholder. The gain or loss will be considered long-term if the shareholder has held the shares for more than one year. The gain or loss on shares held for one year or less will be considered short-term and taxed at the same rates as ordinary income. If you receive a capital gain distribution from your Fund and sell your shares at a loss after holding them for six months or less, the loss will be recharacterized as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the capital gain distribution received.

Each 1st Source Fund and each Wasatch Fund is required to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury a percentage of dividend payments, capital gain distributions, and redemption proceeds at a rate set forth in applicable IRS Rules and Regulations for certain shareholders who have not certified that the social security number or taxpayer identification number they have supplied is correct and that they are not subject to backup withholding because of previous underreporting to the IRS. This backup withholding requirement generally does not apply to shareholders that are corporations or certain tax-exempt organizations.

To the extent a 1st Source Fund or Wasatch Fund invests in foreign securities, it may be required to pay withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. If a Fund has more than 50% of its total assets invested in securities of foreign corporations at the end of its taxable year, it may make an election that will result in the dividends taxed to you including your share of taxes paid to other countries and that may permit you either to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to foreign taxes paid by a Fund or to deduct those amounts as an itemized deduction on your tax return. If a Fund makes this election, you will be notified and provided with sufficient information to calculate your foreign tax credit or the amount you may deduct as foreign taxes paid.

If you are a foreign investor (i.e., an investor other than a U.S. citizen or resident or a U.S. corporation, partnership, estate or trust), you should be aware that, generally, subject to applicable tax treaties, distributions from a Fund will be characterized as dividends for federal income tax purposes (other than dividends which a Fund designates as capital gain dividends) and will be subject to U.S. income taxes, including withholding taxes, subject to certain exceptions. However, distributions received by a foreign investor from a Fund that are properly designated by a Fund as capital gain dividends may not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding taxes, provided that the Fund makes certain elections and certain other conditions are met. In the case of dividends with respect to taxable years of a Fund beginning prior to 2010, distributions from the Fund that are properly designated by the Fund as an interest-related dividend attributable to certain interest income received by the Fund or as a short-term capital gain dividend attributable to certain net short-term capital gain income received by the Fund may not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, including withholding taxes when received by certain foreign investors, provided that the Fund makes certain elections and certain other conditions are met.

After the end of each calendar year, you will be sent information on redemptions, dividends and long-term capital gain distributions for tax purposes, including information as to the portion taxable as ordinary income, the portion (if any) taxable as “qualified dividends,” and the portion taxable as long-term capital gains.

Account tax information will also be sent to the IRS.

VOTING INFORMATION

What vote is necessary to approve the Plan?

Quorum. With respect to the action to be taken by the shareholders of the 1st Source Funds discussed in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of a 1st Source Fund on the Proposal at the Meeting shall constitute a quorum for purposes of voting upon the Proposal at the Meeting for the respective 1st Source Fund. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e. shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) will be treated as present for purposes of determining a quorum. In addition, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, if a broker has not received instructions from beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and the proposal to be voted upon may “affect substantially” a shareholder’s rights or privileges, the broker may not vote the shares as to that proposal even if it has discretionary voting power. As a result, these shares also will be treated as broker non-votes for purposes of proposals that may “affect substantially” a shareholder’s rights or privileges (but will not be treated as broker non-votes for other proposals, including adjournment of the Meeting). Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares voted against the Proposal.

1st Source Advisors will receive economic benefits as a result of the Reorganization. Pursuant to an agreement between 1st Source Advisors and Wasatch Advisors, 1st Source Advisors will receive a net lump sum payment of approximately $11.7 million plus earn-out payments based on the increase in total assets, if any, of each of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund and Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund over the next 10 years and earn-out payments based on the value of the total assets of the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund over the next five years following the closing of their agreement. For the reasons stated in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, 1st Source Advisors believes the Reorganization is in the best interests of shareholders of the 1st Source Funds.

Shareholder Approval. With respect to each 1st Source Fund, the Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the respective 1st Source Fund.

The shareholders of each 1st Source Fund must separately approve the Reorganization with respect to their 1st Source Fund in order for the Reorganization to be approved for that fund. Additionally, the Reorganization must be approved on behalf of all three 1st Source Funds for the Reorganization to be effected. In the event a 1st Source Fund fails to receive sufficient votes for approval of the Reorganization, management will consider appropriate options. If the shareholders of any of the 1st Source Funds do not approve the Plan, the Coventry Board may consider other possible courses of action for the 1st Source Funds, which may include liquidation.

Adjournment. If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve the Proposal are not received, then the persons named as proxies may vote to approve the Proposal for which sufficient votes have been received on behalf of the respective 1st Source Fund and may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies for the Proposal for which sufficient votes have NOT been received. In determining whether to adjourn the Meeting, the following factors may be considered: the percentage of votes actually cast, the percentage of negative votes actually cast, the nature of any further solicitation and the information to be provided to shareholders with respect to the reasons for the solicitation. Any adjournment will require an affirmative vote of a majority of those outstanding shares entitled to vote present in person or by proxy, whether or not a quorum is present. The persons named as proxies will vote upon such adjournment after consideration of all circumstances that may bear upon a decision to adjourn the Meeting. Any business that might have been transacted at the Meeting originally called may be transacted at any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present. The costs of any additional solicitation and of any adjourned session will be borne by the Wasatch Advisors.

Table of Contents

The Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Notice of Meeting and proxy card(s) were first mailed to shareholders on or about October 24, 2008.

Who can vote to approve the Plan?

Only shareholders of record of the 1st Source Funds at the close of business on October 24, 2008 (the “Record Date”), will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting on the matters described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and will be entitled to one vote for each full share and a fractional vote for each fractional share that they hold. The table below sets forth the number of shares of beneficial interest of each of the 1st Source Funds which were outstanding as of the Record Date and, therefore, are entitled to vote at the Meeting.

 

1st Source Fund

   Shares Outstanding and Entitled to Vote

1st Source Monogram Income Fund

  

1st Source Monogram Income Equity Fund

  

1st Source Monogram Long/Short Fund

  

A shareholder of a 1st Source Fund who objects to the proposed Reorganization will not be entitled under either Massachusetts law or the Declaration of Trust of the Coventry Group to demand payment for, or an appraisal of, his or her shares. However, shareholders should be aware that the Reorganization as proposed is not expected to result in recognition of gain or loss to shareholders for federal income tax purposes. If the Reorganization is consummated, shareholders will be free to redeem the shares of the Wasatch Fund that they receive in the transaction at their then-current net asset value. Shares of the 1st Source Funds may be redeemed at any time prior to the consummation of the Reorganization. Shareholders of the 1st Source Funds may wish to consult their tax advisors as to any different consequences of redeeming their shares prior to the Reorganization or exchanging such shares in the Reorganization.

How do I ensure my vote is accurately recorded?

You may attend the Meeting and vote in person. You may also vote by completing, signing, and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage paid envelope, or by telephone or through the Internet. If you return your signed proxy card or vote by telephone or through the Internet, your vote will be officially cast at the Meeting by the persons appointed as proxies. A proxy card is, in essence, a ballot. If you simply sign and date the proxy card but give no voting instructions, your shares will be voted in favor of the Proposal and in accordance with the views of management upon any unexpected matters that come before the Meeting or adjournment(s) of the Meeting. If your shares are held of record by a broker/dealer and you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you should obtain a legal proxy from your broker of record and present it at the Meeting. When shares are held jointly by several persons, any one of them may vote at the meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such share, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such share.

May I revoke my proxy?

Shareholders may revoke their proxy at any time before it is voted by sending a written notice to Coventry Group expressly revoking their proxy, by signing and forwarding to Coventry Group a later-dated proxy, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. If your shares are held in the name of your broker, you will have to make arrangements with your broker to revoke a previously executed proxy.

Table of Contents

What other matters will be voted upon at the Meeting?

The Coventry Board does not intend to bring any matters before the Meeting with respect to the 1 st Source Funds other than those described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The Coventry Board is not aware of any other matters to be brought before the Meeting with respect to the 1st Source Funds by others. If any other matter legally comes before the Meeting, proxies for which discretion has been granted will be voted in accordance with the views of management.

What other solicitations will be made?

This proxy solicitation is being made by the Coventry Board for use at the Meeting. In addition to solicitation by mail, solicitations also may be made by advertisement, telephone, telegram, facsimile transmission or other electronic media, or personal contacts. The Coventry Board will request broker/dealer firms, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of record. The Coventry Group may reimburse broker/dealer firms, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such proxy solicitation, which will be reimbursed by Wasatch Advisors. In addition to solicitations by mail, officers and employees of 1st Source Advisors and their affiliates, without extra pay, may conduct additional solicitations by telephone, telecopy, and personal interviews. The Coventry Group has engaged The Altman Group, Inc. (“Altman”) to solicit proxies from brokers, banks, other institutional holders and individual shareholders at an anticipated cost of $40,000, including out of pocket expenses, which will be borne by Wasatch Advisors. Fees and expenses may be greater depending on the effort necessary to obtain shareholder votes. 1st Source Advisors expects that the solicitations will be primarily by mail, but also will include telephone, telecopy, or oral solicitations.

As the Meeting date approaches, certain shareholders of the 1st Source Funds may receive a telephone call from a representative of Altman if their votes have not yet been received. Proxies that are obtained telephonically by Altman will be recorded in accordance with the procedures described below. These procedures are designed to ensure that both the identity of the shareholder casting the vote and the voting instructions of the shareholder are accurately determined.

In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited by Altman, the Altman representative is required to ask each shareholder to state his or her full name. The representative then states the city, state and zip code on the account and asks the shareholder to confirm his or her identity by stating their street address. If the shareholder is a corporation or other entity, the Altman representative is required to ask for the person’s title and confirmation that the person is authorized to direct the voting of the shares. If the information solicited agrees with the information provided to Altman, then the Altman representative has the responsibility to explain the process, read the Proposal listed on the proxy card and ask for the shareholder’s instructions on the Proposal. Although the Altman representative is permitted to answer questions about the process, he or she is not permitted to recommend to the shareholder how to vote, other than to read any recommendation set forth in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Altman will record the shareholder’s instructions on the card. Within 72 hours, the shareholder will be sent a letter via USPS to confirm his or her vote and asking the shareholder to call Altman immediately if his or her instructions are not correctly reflected in the confirmation.

Who will pay the expenses of the Proposal?

Wasatch Advisors has agreed to pay for all of the costs related to the solicitation of the shareholders of the 1st Source Funds (inclusive of legal fees and expenses, printing, mailing the proxy statement and soliciting proxies) to the extent such costs are solely and directly related to the Reorganization. Any other costs that are solely and directly related to the Reorganization and not reflected in the foregoing sentence shall be shared by Wasatch Advisors and 1 st Source Advisors, as they may mutually agree.

Table of Contents

How do I submit a shareholder proposal?

Coventry Group is not required, and does not intend, to hold regular annual meetings of shareholders. A shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal for consideration for inclusion in Coventry Group’s proxy statement for the next meeting of shareholders (if any) should send his or her written proposal to Coventry Group’s offices at 100 Summer Street, Suite 1500, Boston, MA 02110, so that it is received within a reasonable time in advance of any such meeting in order to be included in Coventry Group’s proxy statement and proxy card relating to that meeting and presented at the meeting. A shareholder proposal may be presented at a meeting of shareholders only if such proposal concerns a matter that may be properly brought before the meeting under applicable federal proxy rules, state law, and other governing instruments.

PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SHARES

As of the Record Date, the officers and Trustees of the Coventry Group as a group owned or controlled less than 1% of each 1st Source Fund’s outstanding shares. The Wasatch Funds have not commenced operations and have no outstanding shares. The following table sets forth the name, address and share ownership of the persons or entities known to the Coventry Group to have ownership of a controlling interest (ownership of greater than 25%) or of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of a 1st Source Fund as of the Record Date. Shareholders with a controlling interest in a 1st Source Fund could affect the outcome of proxy voting or the direction of management of the applicable 1st Source Fund in the Coventry Group. The percentage of the corresponding Wasatch Fund that would be owned by the below named shareholders upon consummation of the Reorganization is not expected to change.

APPENDIX A

These are fundamental policies and may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Fund affected (which for this purpose and under the 1940 Act means the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares). A change in policy affecting only one Fund may be effected with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund.

There is no limit to the percentage of assets that may be invested in U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities or repurchase agreements secured by such obligations.

PRICING OF FUND SHARES

Shares of both the 1 st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds are sold at net asset value (“NAV”) per share.

The NAV per share of each 1st Source Fund is generally determined at the time trading closes on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on days when both the NYSE and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago are open for business.

The NAV per share of each Wasatch Fund is determined at the time trading closes on the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on days when the NYSE is open for business.

The NAV of each 1 st Source Fund and Wasatch Fund is calculated by adding the total value of a Fund’s investments and other assets, subtracting its liabilities and then dividing that figure by the number of outstanding shares of the Fund.

An order for purchase, sale or exchange of shares is priced at the next NAV calculated after an order is accepted by a Fund. Only purchase orders accepted by the Funds before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time will be effective at that day’s offering price. On occasion, the NYSE will close before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. When that happens, purchase orders accepted after the NYSE closes will be effective the following business day.

The Wasatch Funds are open for business on Columbus Day and Veteran’s Day. The 1st Source Funds do not determine NAVs on these holidays since the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is closed for business on these days.

For further discussion on the 1st Source Funds’ policies regarding pricing and valuation, see “Shareholder Information—Pricing of Fund Shares” in the 1st Source Prospectus.

For further discussion of the Wasatch Funds’ policies regarding pricing and valuation, see “How the Shares are Priced” in the Wasatch Prospectus.

PURCHASING AND ADDING SHARES

The 1st Source Funds reserve the right to change or eliminate the privileges for purchasing and adding shares at any time with 60 days notice.

The minimum initial investment and minimum subsequent investment policies are different for the 1 st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds as noted below. In addition, the Wasatch Funds also have an option for Education Savings Plans where the 1 st Source Funds do not have this investment option.

Please note that the Wasatch Funds will waive the account minimums and subsequent investments for current 1st Source Fund shareholders until January 31, 2010.

Automatic Investment Plan (AIP)

Both the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds have automatic investment plans.

B-2


Table of Contents

A Wasatch Fund shareholder can make automatic investments in a Fund. Automatic investments can be as little as $50 per month (or $100 per quarter), once the shareholder has invested the $1,000 minimum required to open the account. The Wasatch Funds do not charge a fee for this service.

REDEEMING (SELLING) SHARES

A shareholder of the 1st Source Funds or the Wasatch Funds may sell his or her shares at any time. Your sales price will be the next net asset value (NAV) after your sell order is received by the 1st Source Fund or Wasatch Fund, their transfer agents, or your investment representative. Normally you will receive your proceeds within a week after your request is received.

A shareholder may sell shares of 1st Source Fund or Wasatch Fund by telephone, regular mail, by overnight service, by wire transfer or by automatic withdrawal plan. The Wasatch Fund may charge a wire transfer fee. Your financial institution may also charge a separate fee. A shareholder may also redeem Wasatch shares online. With respect to the Wasatch Funds, you may redeem shares in your account in amounts of $500 to $50,000 ($100,000 for corporate accounts) online or by telephone.

Redemption Fee

The 1st Source Funds do not have a redemption fee. The Wasatch Funds do have a redemption fee and will deduct a fee of 2.00% from redemption proceeds on Fund shares held 60 days or less, subject to certain exceptions. For a discussion regarding the redemption fees and exemptions thereto, see “Redemption Fees” in the Wasatch Prospectus. Wasatch Funds will waive the redemption fee for all transferring 1st Source Fund shareholders, for a period of 60 days following the Reorganization.

Withdrawal Plans

The 1st Source Funds have an Automatic Withdrawal Plan (AWP). A shareholder can receive automatic payments from the shareholder’s account on a monthly or quarterly basis. The minimum withdrawal is $100. The AWP requires:

 

   

Your account must have a value of $5,000 or more to start withdrawals.

 

   

If the value of your account falls below $500, you may be asked to add sufficient funds to bring the account back to $500, or the Fund may close your account and mail the proceeds to you.

The Wasatch Funds have a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP). The following policies apply to the SWP.

 

   

You may arrange to make monthly, quarterly or annual redemptions of $50 or more. There is no charge to shareholders for using this plan.

 

   

Your Fund account balance must be at least $5,000 at the time you begin participation in the plan.

 

   

You may choose either the 5th and/or the 20th of the month to have systematic withdrawals distributed to you. If the day falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the distribution will be made on the next business day.

 

   

You may terminate the SWP at any time without charge or penalty.

 

   

The Funds may terminate or modify the plan after 60 days’ written notice to shareholders.

 

   

The redemption fee does not apply to shares redeemed through the plan.

 

   

If your balance is below the systematic withdrawal amount, the entire balance will be distributed and the plan will be discontinued.

Frequent Trading Policies

Both the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds have a policy to prevent market timing. These policies are set forth below. The Wasatch Funds charge a 2.00% redemption fee to prevent market timing. The 1st Source Funds do not assess a redemption fee.

1st Source Funds

Frequent trading into and out of a Fund can have adverse consequences for that Fund and for long-term shareholders in the Fund. The Funds believe that frequent or excessive short-term trading activity by shareholders of a Fund may be detrimental to long-term shareholders because those activities may, among other things: (a) dilute the value of shares held by long-term shareholders; (b) cause the Funds to maintain larger cash positions than would otherwise be necessary; (c) increase brokerage commissions and related costs and expenses, and (d) incur additional tax liability. The Funds therefore discourage frequent purchase and redemptions by shareholders and they do not make any effort to accommodate this practice. To protect against such activity, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures that are intended to permit the Funds to curtail frequent or excessive short-term trading by shareholders. At the present time the Funds do not impose limits on the frequency of purchases and redemptions, nor do they limit the number of exchanges into any of the Funds. The Funds reserve the right, however, to impose certain limitations at any time with respect to trading in shares of the Funds, including suspending or terminating trading privileges in Fund shares, for any investor whom the Funds believe has a history of abusive trading or whose trading, in the judgment of the Funds, has been or may be disruptive to the Funds. The Funds’ ability to detect and prevent any abusive or excessive short-term trading may be limited to the extent such trading involves Fund shares held through omnibus accounts of a financial intermediary.

Wasatch Funds

Short-term trading or “market timing” involves frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares and may present risks for long-term shareholders of the fund including among other things, dilution in the value of Fund shares held by long-term shareholders, interference in the efficient management of the Fund’s portfolio, increased brokerage and administrative costs and forcing the Fund to hold excess levels of cash. One form of market timing is called “time zone arbitrage.” This occurs when shareholders of a Fund that primarily invests in securities that are listed on foreign exchanges take advantage of time zone differences between the close of foreign markets on which the Fund’s securities trade and the close of the U.S. markets, which is when the Fund’s share price is calculated. Arbitrage opportunities may also occur in funds that do not invest in foreign securities.

For example, if trading in a security held by a Fund is halted and does not resume prior to the time the Fund’s share price is calculated, such “stale pricing” presents an opportunity for investors to take advantage of the pricing discrepancy. Similarly, Funds that hold thinly-traded securities, such as certain micro- or small-capitalization securities, may be exposed to varying levels of pricing arbitrage.

Wasatch Funds are intended as long-term investments. Therefore, the Funds’ Board of Directors has adopted policies and procedures designed to prohibit short-term trading, excessive exchanges and other market timing activities. Steps the Funds have taken include: periodically reviewing individual shareholder trading activity to identify shareholders who are making excessive transactions or otherwise trading the Funds

 

B-4


Table of Contents

inappropriately, imposing a 2.00% redemption fee on shares held 60 days or less (subject to certain exceptions) and revising or terminating the exchange privilege, limiting the amount of any exchange, or rejecting an exchange, at any time, for any reason.

The redemption fee may be waived for omnibus accounts held by financial intermediaries whose systems are unable to assess the redemption fee and certain employer-sponsored retirement accounts (including certain 401(k) and other types of defined contribution or employee benefit plans).

The redemption fee may be waived by the Funds’ officers in any case where the nature of the transaction or circumstances do not pose the risks that the Board of Directors’ policies and procedures to prevent market timing are designed to mitigate. All waivers provided by the Funds’ officers will be disclosed to the Funds’ Board of Directors at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.

The Funds cannot always know about or reasonably detect excessive trading by shareholders who purchase shares of the Funds through financial intermediaries. Intermediaries generally maintain omnibus accounts with the Funds, which do not allow access to individual shareholders’ account information. In compliance with federal securities laws, the Funds execute agreements with intermediaries that obligate them to provide certain shareholder data so the Funds may be able to detect excessive trading and market timing by underlying shareholders. Shareholders who have purchased Funds through financial intermediaries that do not execute information sharing agreements may be restricted from purchasing additional shares of the Funds (other than an automatic reinvestment of dividends) through an omnibus account with such financial intermediary.

PURCHASING OR SELLING SHARES THROUGH THIRD PARTIES SUCH AS BROKERS OR BANKS

A 1st Source Fund shareholder may purchase shares through its distributor or through investment representatives, who may charge fees and may require higher minimum investments or impose other limitations on buying and selling shares. If a shareholder purchases shares through an investment representative, that party is responsible for transmitting orders by close of business and may have any earlier cut-off time for purchase and sale requests. A shareholder should consult its investment representative for specific information.

The following policies are applicable to Wasatch Fund shareholders.

 

   

A shareholder may buy or sell shares of the Funds through banks or investment professionals, including brokers, and they may charge you a transaction fee for this service.

 

   

Certain features offered by the Funds, such as Premier Services, minimum initial investment or subsequent investment amounts, may be modified or may not be available through other institutions.

 

   

Once a shareholder has established an account through an institution or investment professional, any subsequent transactions for, or questions about, that account must be made through them.

 

   

The Funds and/or Wasatch Advisors may enter into agreements with various brokerage or other firms pursuant to which such firms may accept orders on behalf of the Funds and provide administrative services with respect to customers who are beneficial owners of shares of a Fund. The Funds and/or Wasatch Advisors may compensate such firms in amounts based on assets of customers invested in the Funds.

 

   

If one mutual fund sponsor provides greater financial assistance than another, your financial advisor may have an incentive to recommend one mutual fund complex over another. A shareholder should speak with your financial advisor to learn more about the total amounts paid to your financial advisor and his or her firm by the Funds and/or the Advisor and by sponsors of other mutual funds he or she may recommend to you. A shareholder should also review disclosures made by your financial advisor at the time of purchase.

EXCHANGING SHARES

A 1st Source Fund shareholder can exchange shares of one 1st Source Fund for shares of another 1st Source Fund. No transaction fees are charged for exchanges. Shareholders must meet the minimum investment requirements for the Fund into which they are exchanging. Exchanges from one Fund to another are taxable.

Please note that exchange privileges may be eliminated or changed on 60 days notice for 1st Source Funds.

A Wasatch Fund shareholder may also exchange shares for shares of other Wasatch Funds. The following policies are applicable to the Wasatch Funds when a shareholder is exchanging his or her shares of a Fund.

 

   

Fund shares may be exchanged for shares of other Funds on days the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for business.

 

   

Excessive exchanges may result in the termination of a shareholder’s exchange privileges.

 

   

Due to money movement between Wasatch Funds and WA-Federated Money Market Account, requests made on a bank holiday will be processed the following business day. This applies to the Fund being redeemed and a Fund being purchased. Bank holidays include Columbus Day and Veteran’s Day. Bank holiday schedules are subject to change without notice.

 

   

Exchanges for shares in Funds closed to new investors may only be made by shareholders with existing accounts in those Funds.

 

   

Exchanges may not be made for shares of Funds closed to new investors and existing shareholders.

 

   

Additional exchanges may be made for $500 or more.

 

   

Additional documentation and a Medallion signature guarantee may be required for exchange requests from existing accounts if shares are registered in the name of a corporation, partnership or fiduciary.

 

   

To add telephone exchange privileges to an existing corporate account, complete and return the Redemption and Exchange Privileges Form. The Form can be obtained from Wasatch Funds’ web site or by calling a shareholder services representative.

 

   

Exchanges on shares held 60 days or less will trigger the redemption fee, subject to certain exceptions.

 

   

New accounts automatically have the telephone exchange privilege, unless it is specifically declined.

 

   

The Funds do not accept exchange requests made via fax.

 

   

Exchange requests may be subject to other limitations, including those relating to frequency, that Wasatch Funds may establish to ensure that exchanges do not disadvantage shareholders or the Funds.

 

   

The Advisor reserves the right to revise or terminate the exchange privilege, limit the amount of any exchange, or reject an exchange, at any time, for any reason.

Exchanges between Wasatch Funds and The WA-Federated Money Market Account

Shares of the Wasatch Funds may be exchanged for shares of the WA-Federated Money Market Account, a money market account advised by Federated Investment Management Company (and not by Wasatch Advisors, Inc.) that invests in a diversified portfolio of high quality money market instruments. The WA-Federated Money Market Account and its adviser are not affiliated persons of the Wasatch Funds or Wasatch Advisors, Inc. The

shares of the WA-Federated Money Market Account are not offered by the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. For policies applicable to exchanges between the Wasatch Funds and WA-Federated Money Market Account, see “Exchanges Between Wasatch Funds and the WA-Federated Money Market Account” in the Wasatch Prospectus.

OTHER POLICIES

Closing or Re-opening of Funds

The following policy is applicable to the Wasatch Funds. The 1st Source Funds do not have a formal policy with respect to closing or re-opening of a 1st Source Fund.

Wasatch Advisors periodically closes certain Wasatch Funds to control asset levels.

Wasatch Advisors will close a Fund when it feels is necessary to preserve the integrity of the Fund’s investment strategies. Closing Funds can be an important component of portfolio management, particularly for the Funds that primarily invest in smaller companies. Wasatch Advisors believes closing Funds is in the best interest of shareholders.

Wasatch Advisors has two levels of closed Funds, sometimes referred to as “soft closed” and “hard closed.” A “soft closed” fund permits existing shareholders of that Fund to make additional investments in that Fund, but it is closed to new investors. A “hard closed” fund is closed to all investors.

In closing a Fund, Wasatch Advisors may well be foregoing potential revenue in order to protect the Fund’s investment objectives. Wasatch Advisors decides to close Funds because the alternatives to closing a Fund would likely result in diminishing the effectiveness of the Fund’s investment strategies. These alternatives include:

 

   

Increase position sizes-which may be difficult to accomplish and could increase the overall risk of the fund.

 

   

Invest in a longer list of names-which may dilute the manager’s best investment ideas.

 

   

Invest in larger companies-which could be a departure from the Fund’s intended strategy.

Conversely, when the assets of a closed Fund are at a level that we believe additional assets could be invested without impairing the Fund, we may re-open the Fund.

Wasatch Advisors also manages separate account portfolios that are similar in composition to some of the Wasatch Funds.

Wasatch Advisors carefully consider many business factors including aggregate assets in the Funds and separate accounts when deciding to close or open Funds.

Wasatch Advisors retains the right to make investors exceptions to closed Funds.

Fund closings or re-openings will be posted on Wasatch Funds’ web site at www.wasatchfunds.com. Wasatch Advisors will make every effort to post information related to Fund closings at least two weeks prior to the effective date of the closing. Investors may sign up on the Funds’ web site to receive an electronic notification of Fund closings and openings. Investors may also request information about a Fund’s open or close state from a shareholder services representative by calling our toll-free number at 800.551.1700. Each change in a Fund’s status also will be filed electronically with the SEC.

Involuntary Redemption—Closing of Small Accounts

Both the 1st Source Funds and the Wasatch Funds reserve the right to redeem the shares held in any account if the account balance falls below $500 unless the account is an automatic investment plan. Your account will not be closed if the drop is due to share price fluctuations. Shareholders will be given at least 60 days’ written notice before involuntary redemptions are made. Shareholders can prevent involuntary redemptions by restoring the account to the minimum investment amount during the 60 days.

General Information

This SAI and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus are related to the acquisition of all of the assets of each 1st Source Fund by its corresponding Wasatch Fund and the assumption by that Wasatch Fund of all of the liabilities of the corresponding 1st Source Fund. Such assets are proposed to be exchanged for shares of the corresponding Wasatch Fund having an aggregate value equal to the net asset value of the particular 1st Source Fund. If approved, the proposed Reorganization is currently expected to be closed immediately before the opening of business on December 15, 2008 (the “Closing Date”). On or soon after the Closing Date as is conveniently practicable, the Wasatch Fund shares received will be distributed proportionately to the shareholders of the corresponding 1st Source Fund and the 1st Source Fund will proceed to terminate.
