Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Fund, under normal market circumstances, will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of any size capitalization. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") but may also invest in other types of equity securities including, preferred stock, investments in foreign equity securities through U.S. stock exchange listed American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), or mutual funds that invest in the types of securities in which the Fund would normally invest, and securities convertible into such securities.
In managing the Fund, the Advanced Asset Management Advisors, Inc., the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser") employs a multi-step process that combines research, valuation, and stock selection. The Adviser takes an in-depth look at economic sectors and compares their current valuation relative to their historical valuation, historical earnings growth rates, and forecasted growth rates. The research process results in a ranking of economic sectors by their relative attractiveness and ultimately their relative weighting within the Fund.
The Adviser then screens the companies within each sector for various financial factors that it believes are most important in the current market environment. These factors may include earnings growth, dividend yield, balance sheet quality, or other specific financial ratio analysis. The Adviser then buys and sells equity securities, ETFs, or mutual funds that, when combined, provide the targeted economic sector allocations and capitalization ranges. In general, the Adviser buys equity securities that are identified as most attractive for relative performance and sells such securities when they appear less attractive.
Although the Fund can invest in stocks of any economic sector (which is comprised of two or more industries), at times it may emphasize certain sectors, even investing more than 25% of total assets in any one sector.
The Fund may also invest in cash, money market instruments (high quality income securities with maturities of less than one year), securities of money market funds or US Government securities at any time to maintain liquidity or pending selection of investments in accordance with its principal investment strategies and the Adviser's investment process.
Principal Investment Risks
All mutual funds carry risk. Accordingly, loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. The Fund's shares are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed, endorsed, or insured by any financial institution, government authority or the FDIC. Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund, which may adversely affect the Fund's performance and ability to meet its investment objective, are:
Market Risk. Your investment in the Fund's shares represent an indirect investment in the securities held in the Fund's portfolio. The value of the Fund's portfolio investments, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. A decline in value could result from, among other things, a negative development concerning the issuer of the security, an industry, a sector of the economy, or the overall securities market. As a result, your investment in the Fund may decline in value and you could lose money.
Equity Securities Risk. Since it primarily purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that events negatively affecting issuers, industries, or financial markets in which the Fund invests will impact the value of the equity securities held by the Fund and thus, the value of the Fund's shares over short or extended periods. A decline in value could result from, among other things, a negative development concerning the issuer of the security, an industry, a sector of the economy, or the overall securities market.
Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk due to the active nature of its management. Portfolio management will apply investment techniques, experience, and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund. However, there is no guarantee that the techniques and analyses applied by portfolio management will achieve the investment objectives.
2
Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Company Risk. The small and mid-capitalization companies the Fund invests in may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, these small and mid-capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets, and financial resources, and may depend upon relatively small management groups. Therefore, small and mid-capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies.
Value Stocks Risk. Value stocks involve the risk that they may never reach what the Fund's portfolio management believes is their full market or intrinsic value and that their prices may go down. Additionally, because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, the Fund's performance may be lower or higher than that of funds that invest in other types of equity securities.
Growth Stocks Risk. Growth stocks, due to their relatively high market valuations, typically have been more volatile than value stocks. Growth stocks may not pay dividends, or may pay lower dividends than value stocks, and may be more adversely affected in a down market.
Other Investment Company Risk. If the Fund invests in shares of another investment company, shareholders will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying investment companies in which the Fund invests in addition to the Fund's direct fees and expenses.
Exchange-Traded Fund Risk. ETFs generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they hold, although lack of liquidity in ETF shares could result in the price of the ETF being more volatile. In addition, Fund shareholders indirectly bear the expenses of the ETFs.
Foreign Investing Risk. Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and adverse political, social and economic developments affecting a foreign country. Prices of foreign securities may be more volatile than those of their domestic counterparts.
Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investment may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.
Depositary Receipts Risk. The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers in the form of depositary receipts, such as American depositary receipts (ADRs). Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted.
Preferred Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. The value of preferred stock also can be affected by prevailing interest rates. Preferred securities may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return. In addition, a company's preferred securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, preferred stock is also subject to the credit quality of the issuer.
Convertible Securities Risk. A convertible security is generally a debt obligation, preferred stock or other security that pays interest or dividends and may be converted by the holder within a specified period of time into common stock. The value of convertible securities may rise and fall with the market value of the underlying stock or, like a debt security, vary with changes in interest rates and the credit quality of the issuer. A convertible security tends to perform more like a stock when the underlying stock price is high relative to the conversion price (because more of the security's value resides in the option to convert) and more like a debt security when the underlying stock price is low relative to the conversion price (because the option to convert is less valuable).
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Risk. Investing in REITs is subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership and development of real estate. These risks include declines in real estate values, fluctuations in rental income (due in part to vacancies and interest rates), increases in operating costs and property taxes, increases in financing costs or inability to procure financing, potential environmental liabilities and changes in zoning laws and other regulations. REITs whose underlying properties are concentrated in a particular industry or geographic region are subject to risks affecting such industries and regions. The securities of REITs involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements because of interest rate changes, economic conditions and other factors. Securities of such issuers may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to effect sales at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price.
3
Focus Risk. To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in particular industries, asset classes or sectors of the economy, any market price movements, regulatory or technological changes, or economic conditions affecting companies in those industries, asset classes or sectors may have a significant impact on the Fund's performance.
Money Market Fund Risk. The Fund may invest in money market mutual funds. An investment in a money market mutual fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market mutual funds that invest in U.S. government securities seek to preserve the value of the fund's investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a stable net asset value money market mutual fund.
U.S. Government Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Redemption Risk. The Fund may need to sell securities at times it would not otherwise do so in order to meet shareholder redemption requests. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities, particularly if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent, occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices for the securities sold or when the securities the Fund wishes to sell are illiquid. Selling securities to meet such redemption requests also may increase transaction costs.
Cybersecurity Risk. The Fund, its service providers, issuers of securities held by the Fund, or other market participants (such as counterparties to certain Fund transactions) may be prone to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks include, among other actions, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites, the unauthorized release of confidential information or various other forms of cyber security breaches. Cyber-attacks affecting the Fund or its investment adviser, custodian, transfer agent, fund accounting agent, financial intermediaries and other third-party service providers may adversely impact the Fund. The Fund may also incur additional costs for cyber security risk management purposes. Cyber-attacks affecting issuers of securities held by the Fund or other market participants may cause losses for the Fund.
Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund's assets and distributions may decline.
Market Disruption Risk. Geopolitical and other events, including war, terrorism, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises, natural disasters and related geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to disruptions in the US and world economies and markets, which may increase financial market volatility and have significant adverse direct or indirect effects on the Fund and its investments. Market disruptions could cause the Fund to lose money, experience significant redemptions, and encounter operational difficulties. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Market disruptions may magnify the impact of each of the other risks of the Fund and may increase volatility in one or more markets in which the Fund invests leading to the potential for greater losses for the Fund.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes
The Fund intends to make distributions that are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (regardless of whether you elect to receive or reinvest such distributions), except when your investment is in an IRA, 401(k) or other tax-advantaged investment plan. However, you may be subject to tax when you withdraw monies from a tax-advantaged plan.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The Fund does not charge a Sales Charge (Load) or Distribution (12b-1) Fee. If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Adviser and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. Certain financial intermediaries may charge fees for their services, and the Adviser may pay those fees out of its own resources. These payments are sometimes referred to as "revenue sharing". These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial representative to recommend the Fund over another investment. This potential conflict of interest may be addressed by policies, procedures or practices adopted by the financial intermediary. As there may be many different policies, procedures or practices adopted by different intermediaries to address the manner in which compensation is earned through the sale of investments or the provision of related services, the compensation rates and other payment arrangements that may apply to a financial intermediary and its representatives may vary by intermediary. Ask your salesperson or financial representative visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
