(1)

No sales charge is payable at the time of purchase on investments of $1 million or more, although the Fund may impose a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% on certain redemptions of those investments made within 12 months of the purchase. If imposed, the CDSC applies to redemptions made within 12 months of purchase and will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of the initial value of the shares redeemed and the value of shares redeemed at the time of redemption.






(2)

The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense (Reimbursement)/Recoupment does not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets included in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s statutory Prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses.






(3)

Nuance Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses, and may reduce its management fees in order to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.40% of the average daily net assets of the Investor Class and 1.15% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Class. Expenses reimbursed and/or fees reduced by the Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of three fiscal years following the fiscal year during which such reimbursement or reduction was made if such recoupment can be achieved within the foregoing expense limit. The Operating Expense Limitation Agreement will be in effect and cannot be terminated through at least one year from the effective date of this Prospectus.







Example

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

$1,029

$1,371

$2,332


Institutional Class Shares

$1,669





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 the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 110% of the average value of its portfolio.




Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies organized in the United States that the Adviser believes are high quality, though temporarily out of favor. The Fund typically invests in a portfolio of 15 to 35 companies of various market capitalizations and is considered an all-cap strategy. Although the Fund will invest primarily in the common stocks of U.S. companies, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in common stocks of foreign companies that are organized and headquartered in countries classified as “developed” by MSCI. As of June 30, 2013, the following countries were classified as “developed” by MSCI: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, and the United States.




The Adviser selects securities for the Fund’s investment portfolio by using an extensive quantitative screening and fundamental research process that identifies leading businesses selling at a discount to fair value with the potential to generate above-average rates of returns over time. The Adviser seeks to identify companies across a range of industries and market sectors that have leading and sustainable market share positions, above-average financial strength, and are trading at a discount to its internal view of intrinsic value. The Adviser may sell an investment when it achieves or surpasses the Adviser’s proprietary view of intrinsic value or when a security’s competitive position or financial situation erodes beyond the Adviser’s expectations.




At the discretion of the Adviser, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash, cash equivalents, and high-quality, short-term debt securities and money market instruments for temporary defensive purposes in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions, which may result in the Fund not achieving its investment objective.




The Fund may also hold short-term debt securities and money market instruments to retain flexibility in meeting redemptions and paying expenses.




The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers of securities.




Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, there are risks to investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. Remember, in addition to possibly not achieving your investment goals, you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund over short or even long periods of time . The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:




General Market Risk. The Fund’s net asset value and investment return will fluctuate based upon changes in the value of its portfolio securities. Certain securities selected for the Fund’s portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time.




New Fund Risk. The Fund has limited operating history and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board of Trustees”) may determine to liquidate the Fund.




Adviser Risk. The Adviser has limited experience managing a mutual fund.








2


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------







Management Risk. The Fund may not meet its investment objective or may underperform investment vehicles with similar strategies if the Adviser cannot successfully implement the Fund’s investment strategies.




Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio.




Value-Style Investing Risk . The Fund’s value investments are subject to the risk that their intrinsic values may not be recognized by the broad market or that their prices may decline.




Equity Securities Risk . The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests.




Large-Cap, Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Companies Risk. The Fund’s investment in larger companies is subject to the risk that larger companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. Securities of mid-cap and small-cap companies may be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of large-cap companies.




Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign companies involve risks not generally associated with investment in the securities of U.S. companies, including risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices, including fluctuations in foreign currencies.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
