(2) Marshfield Associates, Inc. (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed, until December 31, 2018, to reduce   Management Fees and reimburse Other Expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (exclusive of brokerage costs, taxes, interest, costs to organize the Fund, acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses such as litigation and merger or reorganization costs and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of such Fund’s business, and amounts, if any, payable pursuant to a plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (the “1940 Act”)) to an amount not exceeding 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Management Fee reductions and expense reimbursements by the Adviser are subject to repayment by the Fund for a period of 3 years after such fees and expenses were incurred, provided that the repayments do not cause Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed (i) the expense limitation then in effect, if any, and (ii) the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be repaid were incurred. Prior to December 31, 2018, this agreement may not be modified or terminated without the approval of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). This agreement will terminate automatically if the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with the Adviser is terminated.

Example . This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, the operating expenses of the Fund remain the same and the contractual agreement to limit expenses remains in effect only until December 31, 2018. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
1 Year
3 Years
$127
$397
 
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.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing principally in a portfolio of common stocks of companies traded on United States (“U.S.”) securities exchanges or over-the-counter markets that exhibit low valuations based on the Adviser’s analysis of the companies’ intrinsic value. The Fund may invest in companies of any capitalization size, including large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap companies.

The Adviser generally begins by developing a list of U.S. exchange-trade and over-the-counter companies for consideration to purchase using its proprietary screening process a s described below . The Adviser performs a bottom-up analysis to identify companies that the Adviser believes are: (i) in an industry that allows the company to earn high returns on equity over time; (ii) imbued with a functional and resilient corporate culture; and (iii) trading at a price that is below the Adviser’s estimated intrinsic value of the company.

The Adviser’s screening process generally involves:
· Rigorous analysis that entails developing an understanding of the ecosystem in which a company operates. The Adviser seeks to review all relevant materials about a company and its industry such as journal articles and securities filings, talk with the management personnel of both the subject company and its competitors, and research the economics underlying the relevant industry or industries in order to have a deep understanding of how the company works.
· Determining the value of the company, which the Adviser conducts using conservative assumptions. The Adviser stress tests its valuation based upon a series of different scenarios and sets a target price that incorporates a substantial discount between the company’s market price and the Adviser’s estimate of the company’s value (i.e. intrinsic value).
3

· Selecting portfolio investments in companies that the Adviser believes: (i) are in an industry that allows the company to earn high returns on equity over time, (ii) pass the Adviser’s tests of corporate culture (the internal compass expressed by the company’s attitude toward customer and shareholders), industry structure (attributes like competitive rivalry and the discipline to remain focused on maintaining and exploiting advantages) and management quality (integrity, courage and resolve) and (iii) are trading at a price that is below the Adviser’s estimate intrinsic value of the company.
· Continuous review of all Fund holdings with ongoing monitoring of the financial performance of each company in the portfolio as well as analysis of whether each holding is performing as the Adviser’s conceptual case suggested.

The Adviser’s approach emphasizes the potential long-term health of a company rather than the short-term performance of the company. The Adviser normally purchases stock in a company with the intention of holding the investment for an extended period of time. However, the Adviser may sell a portfolio holding if it determines any of the following circumstances exist:
 
· The company fails to perform as anticipated;
· The company’s or the relevant industry’s outlook has changed for the worse;
· Systemic risk to the portfolio should be limited, as with too great an exposure to a single industry or sector of the economy;
· A company’s stock becomes excessively overvalued in relationship to its intrinsic value; or
· The Adviser decides to readjust the size of the Fund’s investment in the company’s stock (e.g. the company’s stock comprises too great a portion of the Fund, such as if the value of the company’s stock exceeds 20% of the Fund’s portfolio).

The Fund may hold out-of-favor stocks rather than popular ones. The Fund’s portfolio will be focused and therefore may at times hold stocks in only a few companies. While the Adviser does not intend to focus on any particular sector or industry in making investments for the Fund, at any given time the Fund may have a substantial investment in a particular sector or industry if the Adviser determines such investment to be the best available for the Fund. The Adviser is willing to hold cash and will buy stocks opportunistically when prices are attractive in the Adviser’s estimation.

The Fund is a “non-diversified fund,” which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a small number of issuers than a diversified fund.
 
PRINCIPAL RISKS

As with any mutual fund investment, there is a risk that you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The success of the Fund’s investment strategy depends largely upon the Adviser’s skill in selecting securities for purchase and sale by the Fund and there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Because of the types of securities in which the Fund invests and the investment techniques the Adviser uses, the Fund is designed for investors who are investing for the long term. The Fund may not be appropriate for use as a complete investment program. The principal risks of an investment in the Fund are described below.
4

Stock Market Risk.   The return on and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate in response to stock market movements. Stocks are subject to market risks, such as a rapid increase or decrease in a stock’s value or liquidity, fluctuations in price due to earnings, economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Adviser. A company’s share price may decline if a company does not perform as expected, if it is not well managed, if there is a decreased demand for its products or services, or during periods of economic uncertainty or stock market turbulence, among other conditions . In a declining stock market, stock prices for all companies (including those in the Fund’s portfolio) may decline, regardless of their long-term prospects. During periods of market volatility, stock prices can change drastically , and you could lose money over short or long term periods .

Equity Securities Risk . Equity prices are volatile and the value of such securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline due to fluctuations in market prices, interest rates, national and international economic conditions, or other market events. In a declining stock market, stock prices for all companies may decline, regardless of their long-term prospects. Under such circumstances, price of the Fund’s shares will also decline.

· Large-Capitalization Company Risk. Large-capitalization companies are generally more mature and may be unable to respond as quickly as smaller companies to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

· Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Company Risk . Investing in small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with larger, more established companies. Small- and mid-cap companies frequently have less management depth and experience, narrower market penetrations, less diverse product lines, less competitive strengths and fewer resources. Due to these and other factors, stocks of small- and mid-cap companies may be more susceptible to market downturns and other events, less liquid, and their prices may be more volatile.

Issuer Risk . Issuer risk is the risk that an issuer in which the Fund invests or to which it has exposure may perform poorly, and the value of its securities may therefore decline, which would negatively affect the Fund’s performance.

Management Style Risk. The portfolio manager’s method of security selection may not be successful and the Fund may underperform relative to other mutual funds that employ similar investment strategies. In addition, the Adviser may select investments that fail to perform as anticipated. The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the success of the Adviser’s investment process and there is no guarantee that the Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular investment for the Fund will be correct or produce the desired results. Although the Adviser has investment management experience, the Adviser has no experience as an investment adviser to a mutual fund prior to the Fund’s inception .

5

Industry and Sector Risk. The Fund may, at times, be more heavily invested in certain industries or sectors, which may cause the value of the Fund’s shares to be especially sensitive to factors and economic conditions or risks that specifically affect those industries or sectors and may cause the Fund’s share price to fluctuate more widely than shares of a mutual fund that invests in a broader range of industries or sectors.

Value Stock Risk. Investments in value stocks present the risk that a stock may decline in value or never reach the value the Adviser believes is its full market value, either because the market fails to recognize what the Adviser considers to be the company’s true business value or because the Adviser’s assessment of the company’s prospects was not correct. Issuers of value stocks may have experienced adverse business developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stock to be out of favor. In addition, the Fund’s value investment style may go out of favor with investors, negatively affecting the Fund’s performance.

New Fund Risk . The Fund is new and has no operating history. Accordingly, investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Fund may not be successful in implementing its investment strategy or growing to an economically viable size.

Non-Diversified Status Risk . The Fund is a non-diversified fund. Because the Fund may invest in securities of a smaller number of issuers, the Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer than a fund that invests more widely, which may, therefore, have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Fund is new and therefore does not have a performance history for a full calendar year to report. Once the Fund has returns for a full calendar year, this Prospectus will provide performance information which gives some indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by comparing the Fund’s performance with a broad measure of market performance. How the Fund has performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information, current through the most recent month end, is available by calling 1-855-691-5288.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
 
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or any other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.

These payments are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing”. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND’S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

The Board has reserved the right to change the investment objective of the Fund without shareholder approval upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.

In addition to the strategies and risks described above, the Fund may invest in other types of securities whose risks are described below or in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).

Money Market Instruments and Temporary Defensive Positions.   The Fund will typically hold a portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalent securities, including short-term debt securities, repurchase agreements and money market mutual fund shares (“Money Market Instruments”). The Fund will invest in Money Market Instruments to maintain liquidity or pending the selection of investments. From time to time, the Fund also may, but should not be expected to, take temporary defensive positions in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, and in doing so, may invest up to 100% of its assets in Money Market Instruments. When the Fund invests in a money market mutual fund, the shareholders of the Fund generally will be subject to duplicative management fees. To the extent the Fund holds other registered investment companies, including money market mutual funds, the Fund will incur acquired fund fees and expenses (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) . Anytime the Fund takes a temporary defensive position , it may not achieve its investment objective.

7

Additional Information.   Whether the Fund is an appropriate investment for an investor will depend largely upon the investor’s financial resources and individual investment goals and objectives. The Fund may not be appropriate for investors who engage in short-term trading and/or other speculative strategies or styles. The Adviser purchases portfolio holdings with the intention of holding the investments for an extended period of time.

Portfolio Holdings and Disclosure Policy. A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the SAI.

Under the terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement, Management Fee reductions and expense reimbursements by the Adviser are subject to repayment by the Fund for a period of three years after such fees and expenses were incurred, provided that the repayments do not cause Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed (i) the expense limitation then in effect, if any, and (ii) the expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses to be repaid were incurred. Prior to the expiration date, the Expense Limitation Agreement may not be modified or terminated without the approval of the Board. After the expiration date, the Expense Limitation Agreement may continue from year-to-year provided such continuance is approved by the Board. The Expense Limitation Agreement may be terminated by the Adviser or the Board without approval by the other party, at the end of the then-current term upon not less than 90 days’ notice to the other party as set forth in the Expense Limitation Agreement. The Expense Limitation Agreement will terminate automatically if the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with the Adviser is terminated .

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE ADVISER’S CORE VALUE EQUITY STRATEGY ACCOUNTS

The Adviser began managing fee paying accounts using its Core Value Equity strategy on December 31, 1989. The performance table below provides a summary of the performance of all accounts (the “Accounts”) with substantially similar investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks to those of the Fund for 1-, 5- and 10-year periods ended September 30, 2015, and compares the Accounts’ performance during those periods against an appropriate broad-based securities market index, the Standard & Poor’s 500 ® Index. As of September 30, 2015, there were 1,976 Accounts with approximately $1.853 billion in total assets. There are no material differences between the investment objectives, policies and strategies of the Accounts and those of the Fund. Christopher Niemczewski , Managing Partner of the Adviser, who is one of the co-Portfolio Managers responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio, has been primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the accounts throughout the entire period presented.

The performance of the Accounts does not represent the historical performance of the Fund and should not be considered a substitute for the Fund’s performance or indicative of past or future performance of the Fund. Results may differ because of, among other things, differences in brokerage commissions, account expenses (including management fees) , the size of positions taken in relation to account size and diversification of securities, timing of purchases and sales, and availability of cash for new investments. In addition, the managed accounts are not subject to certain investment limitations or other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code which, if applicable, may have adversely affected the performance results of the managed accounts. The results for different periods may vary.

The performance data provided below for the Accounts was calculated by the Adviser. The Accounts’ rate of return includes realized and unrealized gains plus income (including accrued income). The Accounts are valued monthly and periodic returns are geometrically linked. The annual performance is net of all actual fees and expenses. The total operating expenses for the Accounts was equal to the Fund’s total annual operating expenses. Results include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

(1) The performance of the Accounts, which is unaudited, has been computed by the Adviser in accordance with Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS ® ). Calculating performance in accordance with GIPS ® differs from the standardized methodology promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1940 Act and used by mutual funds to calculate performance and results in performance data different from that derived from the standardized methodology.
(2) The Standard & Poor’s 500 ® Index is an unmanaged index of the common stocks of 500 widely held U.S. companies. Unlike mutual funds, the index does not incur expenses. If expenses were deducted, the actual returns of this index would be lower.

HOW THE FUND VALUES ITS SHARES

The NAV of the Fund is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on each day that the NYSE is open for business. Currently, the NYSE is closed on weekends and in recognition of the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. To calculate NAV, the Fund’s assets are valued and totaled, liabilities are subtracted, and the balance is divided by the number of shares outstanding. The Fund generally values its portfolio securities at their current market values determined on the basis of available market quotations. However, if market quotations are not available or are considered to be unreliable due to market or other events, portfolio securities will be valued at their fair values, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its NAV are based on the consideration by the Fund of a number of subjective factors and therefore may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. To the extent the assets of the Fund are invested in other open-end investment companies that are registered under the 1940 Act and unlisted, the Fund’s NAV is calculate based upon the NAVs reported by such registered open-end investment companies, and the prospectuses for these companies explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

Your order to purchase or redeem shares is priced at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form by the Fund. An order is considered to be in “proper form” if it includes all necessary information and documentation related to a purchase or redemption, and payment in full of the purchase amount.

HOW TO BUY SHARES

Shares are available for purchase from the Fund every day the NYSE is open for business, at the NAV next calculated after receipt of a purchase order in proper form. The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request. Investors who purchase shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary may be charged a fee by such broker-dealer or intermediary. The Fund mails you confirmations of all purchases or redemptions of Fund shares if shares are purchased through the Fund . Certificates representing shares are not issued.

Minimum Initial Investment. The minimum initial investment for regular accounts in the Fund is $10,000; the minimum initial investment for an IRA or a gift to minors account is $1,000. This minimum investment requirement may be waived or reduced for any reason at the discretion of the Fund.

Opening an Account. An account may be opened by mail or bank wire if it is submitted in proper form, as follows :

Shares will be issued at the NAV next computed after receipt of your application and check. All purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. financial institutions. The Fund does not accept cash, drafts, “starter” checks, travelers checks, credit card checks, post-dated checks, cashier’s checks under $10,000, or money orders. In addition, the Fund does not accept checks made payable to third parties. When shares are purchased by check, the proceeds from the redemption of those shares will not be paid until the purchase check has been converted to federal funds, which could take up to 15 calendar days from the date of purchase. If an order to purchase shares is canceled because your check does not clear, you will be responsible for any resulting losses or other fees incurred by the Fund or the Transfer Agent in the transaction.

By sending your check to the Transfer Agent, please be aware that you are authorizing the Transfer Agent to make a one-time electronic debit from your account at the financial institution indicated on your check. Your bank account will be debited as early as the same day the Transfer Agent receives your payment in the amount of your check; no additional amount will be added to the total. The transaction will appear on your bank statement. Your original check will be destroyed once processed, and you will not receive your canceled check back. If the Transfer Agent cannot post the transaction electronically, you authorize the Transfer Agent to present an image copy of your check for payment.

By Wire.   To open a new account by wire of federal funds, call the Transfer Agent at 1-855-691-5288 to obtain the necessary information to instruct your financial institution to wire your investment. A representative will assist you in obtaining an account application, which must be completed, signed and faxed (or mailed) to the Transfer Agent before payment by wire will be accepted.

The Fund requires advance notification of all wire purchases in order to ensure that the wire is received in proper form and that your account is subsequently credited in a timely fashion. Failure to notify the Transfer Agent prior to the transmittal of the bank wire may result in a delay in purchasing shares of the Fund.   An order is considered received when the Fund’s custodian, receives payment by wire. If your account application was faxed to the Transfer Agent, you must also mail the completed account application to the Transfer Agent on the same day the wire payment is made. See “Opening an Account – By Mail” above. Your financial institution may charge a fee for wiring funds. Shares will be issued at the NAV next computed after receipt of your wire in proper form.

Through Your Broker or Financial Institution . Shares of the Fund may be purchased through certain brokerage firms and financial institutions that are authorized to accept orders on behalf of the Fund at the NAV next determined after your order is received by such organization in proper form. These organizations are authorized to designate other intermediaries to receive purchase orders on the Fund’s behalf. The Fund will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an authorized broker or, if applicable, its authorized designee, receives the order in proper form. These organizations may charge you transaction fees on purchases of Fund shares and may impose other charges or restrictions or account options that differ from those applicable to shareholders who purchase shares directly through the Fund. These organizations may be the shareholders of record of your shares. The Fund is not responsible for ensuring that the organizations carry out their obligations to their customers. Shareholders investing in this manner should look to the organization through which they invest for specific instructions on how to purchase and redeem shares.

12

Subsequent Investments. Once an account is open, additional purchases of Fund shares may be made at any time in any amount. Additional purchases must be submitted in proper form as described below. Additional purchases may be made:
 
By sending a check, made payable to the Marshfield Concentrated Opportunity Fund, c/o Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC, P.O. Box 46707, Cincinnati, Ohio 45246‑0707. Be sure to note your account number on the memo line of your check. The shareholder will be responsible for any fees incurred or losses suffered by the Fund as a result of any check returned for insufficient funds.

By wire to the Fund account as described under “Opening an Account – By Wire.” Shareholders should call the Transfer Agent at 1-855-691-5288   before wiring funds.

Through your brokerage firm or other financial institution.

Automatic Investment Plan and Direct Deposit Plans. You may make automatic monthly investments in the Fund from your bank, savings and loan or other depository institution. The minimum investments under the automatic investment plan must be at least $100 under the plan and are made on the 15 th and/or last business day of the month. The Transfer Agent currently pays the costs of this service, but reserves the right, upon 30 days written notice, to make reasonable charges. Your depository institution may impose its own charge for making transfers from your account.

Your employer may offer a direct deposit plan which will allow you to have all or a portion of your paycheck transferred automatically to purchase shares of the Fund. Social Security recipients may have all or a portion of their social security check transferred automatically to purchase shares of the Fund. Please call 1-855-691-5288   for more information about the automatic investment plan and direct deposit plans.

Purchases in Kind. The Fund may accept securities in lieu of cash in payment for the purchase of shares of the Fund. The acceptance of such securities is at the sole discretion of the Adviser based upon the suitability of the securities as an investment for the Fund, the marketability of such securities, and other factors which the Fund may deem appropriate. If accepted, the securities will be valued using the same criteria and methods utilized for valuing securities to compute the Fund’s NAV.
13

Customer Identification and Verification. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person that opens a new account, and to determine whether such person’s name appears on government lists of known or suspected terrorists and terrorist organizations. As a result, the Fund must obtain the following information for each person that opens a new account:
 
Name;
Date of birth (for individuals);
Residential or business street address (although post office boxes are still permitted for mailing); and
Social security number, taxpayer identification number, or other identifying number.

You may also be asked for a copy of your driver’s license, passport, or other identifying document in order to verify your identity. In addition, it may be necessary to verify your identity by cross-referencing your identification information with a consumer report or other electronic database. Additional information may be required to open accounts for corporations and other entities. Federal law prohibits the Fund and other financial institutions from opening a new account unless they receive the minimum identifying information listed above.

After an account is opened, the Fund may restrict your ability to purchase additional shares until your identity is verified. The Fund also may close your account or take other appropriate action if they are unable to verify your identity within a reasonable time. If your account is closed for this reason, your shares will be redeemed at the NAV next calculated after the account is closed.

Frequent Trading Policies. Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by a shareholder may harm other Fund shareholders by interfering with the efficient management of the Fund’s portfolio, increasing brokerage and administrative costs, and potentially diluting the value of the Fund’s shares. The Fund does not accommodate frequent purchases or redemptions of Fund shares.

The Board has adopted policies and procedures in an effort to detect and prevent market timing in the Fund. The Fund, through its service providers, monitors shareholder trading activity to ensure it complies with the Fund’s policies. The Fund prepares reports illustrating purchase and redemption activity to detect market timing activity. When monitoring shareholder purchases and redemptions, the Fund does not apply a quantitative definition to frequent trading. Instead the Fund uses a subjective approach that permits it to reject any purchase orders that it believes may be indicative of market timing or disruptive trading. The right to reject a purchase order applies to any purchase order, including a purchase order placed by financial intermediaries. The Fund may also modify any terms or conditions of purchase of Fund shares or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this Prospectus. The Fund’s policies and procedures to prevent market timing are applied uniformly to all shareholders. These actions, in the Board’s opinion, should help reduce the risk of abusive trading in the Fund.

When financial intermediaries establish omnibus accounts in the Fund for their clients, the Fund reviews trading activity at the omnibus account level and look for activity that may indicate potential frequent trading or market timing. If the Fund detects suspicious trading activity, the Fund will seek the assistance of the intermediary to investigate that trading activity and take appropriate action, including prohibiting additional purchases of Fund shares by the intermediary and/or its client. Each intermediary that offers the Fund’s shares through an omnibus account has entered into an information sharing agreement with the Fund designed to assist the Fund in stopping future disruptive trading. Intermediaries may apply frequent trading policies that differ from those described in this Prospectus. If you invest in the Fund through an intermediary, please read that firm’s program materials carefully to learn of any rules or fees that may apply.

14

Although the Fund has taken steps to discourage frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares, it cannot guarantee that such trading will not occur.

HOW TO REDEEM SHARES

Shares of the Fund may be redeemed on any day on which the Fund computes its NAV. Shares are redeemed at the NAV next determined after the Transfer Agent receives your redemption request in proper form as described below. Redemption requests may be made by mail or by telephone.

By Mail. You may redeem shares by mailing a written request to the Marshfield Concentrated Opportunity Fund, c/o Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC, P.O. Box 46707, Cincinnati, Ohio 45246-0707. Written requests must state the shareholder’s name, the account number and the shares or dollar amount to be redeemed and be signed exactly as the shares are registered.

Signature Guarantees. If the shares to be redeemed have a value of greater than $50,000, or if the payment of the proceeds of a redemption of any amount is to be sent to a person other than the shareholder of record or to an address other than that on record with the Fund, you must have all signatures on written redemption requests guaranteed. If the name(s) or the address on your account has changed within the previous 15 days of your redemption request , the request must be made in writing with your signature guaranteed, regardless of the value of the shares being redeemed. The Transfer Agent will accept signatures guaranteed by a domestic bank or trust company, broker, dealer, clearing agency, savings association or other financial institution which participates in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) program sponsored by the Securities Transfer Association. Signature guarantees from financial institutions which do not participate in the STAMP program will not be accepted. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee. The Transfer Agent has adopted standards for accepting signature guarantees from the above institutions. The Fund and the Transfer Agent reserve the right to amend these standards at any time without notice.

Redemption requests by corporate and fiduciary shareholders must be accompanied by appropriate documentation establishing the authority of the person seeking to act on behalf of the account. Forms of resolutions and other documentation to assist in compliance with the Transfer Agent’s procedures may be obtained by calling the Transfer Agent.

By Telephone . Unless you specifically decline the telephone redemption privilege on your account application, you may also redeem shares having a value of $50,000 or less by telephone by calling the Transfer Agent at 1-855-691-5288.

15

Telephone redemptions may be requested only if the proceeds are to be sent to the shareholder of record and mailed to the address on record with the Fund. Account designations may be changed by sending the Transfer Agent a written request with all signatures guaranteed as described above. Upon request, redemption proceeds of $100 or more may be transferred electronically from an account you maintain with a financial institution by an Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) transaction, and proceeds of $1,000 or more may be transferred by wire, in either case to the account registration stated on the account application. Shareholders may be charged a fee of $15 by the Fund’s custodian for outgoing wires.

The Transfer Agent requires personal identification before accepting any redemption request by telephone, and telephone redemption instructions may be recorded. If reasonable procedures are followed by the Transfer Agent, neither the Transfer Agent nor the Fund will be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions. In the event of drastic economic or market changes, a shareholder may experience difficulty in redeeming shares by telephone. If such a case should occur, redemption by mail should be considered.

Through Your Broker or Financial Institution . You may also redeem your shares through a brokerage firm or financial institution that has been authorized to accept orders on behalf of the Fund at the NAV next determined after your order is received by such organization in proper form. NAV is normally determined as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Your brokerage firm or financial institution may require a redemption request to be received at an earlier time during the day in order for your redemption to be effective as of the day the order is received. These organizations may be authorized to designate other intermediaries to act in this capacity. Such an organization may charge you transaction fees on redemptions of Fund shares and may impose other charges or restrictions or account options that differ from those applicable to shareholders who redeem shares directly through the Transfer Agent.

Receiving Payment. The Fund normally makes payment for all shares redeemed within 7 days after receipt by the Transfer Agent of a redemption request in proper form. Under unusual circumstances as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may suspend the right of redemption or delay payment of redemption proceeds for more than 7 days. A requested wire of redemption proceeds normally will be sent on the business day following the redemption request. However, when shares are purchased by check or through ACH, the proceeds from the redemption of those shares will not be paid until the purchase check or ACH transfer has been converted to federal funds, which could take up to 15 calendar days.

Redemption Fee. A redemption fee of 2% of the dollar value of the shares redeemed, payable to the Fund, is imposed on any redemption of Fund shares occurring within 90 days of the date of purchase. Redemption fees may be waived for the reasons listed below or in the sole discretion of the Fund’s Adviser after considering the circumstances related to the redemption and the Adviser’s management of the Fund’s portfolio. No redemption fee will be imposed on the involuntary redemption of accounts below the minimum investment amount, the redemption of shares representing reinvested dividends or capital gains distributions, or on amounts representing capital appreciation of shares. In determining whether a redemption fee is applicable to a particular redemption, it is assumed that the redemption is first of shares acquired pursuant to the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, and next of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest period of time.

16

The redemption fee is waived on required distributions from IRA accounts due to the shareholder reaching age 70½, and for any partial or complete redemption following death or disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) of a shareholder named on the account. This exemption is available only for shares held at the time of death or initial determination of disability and if the Fund is notified of the requested exemption at the time of the redemption request. The Fund may also require further documentation in connection with these waivers.

The redemption fee is also waived for shareholders systematically redeeming Fund shares under the automatic withdrawal plan (see “Automatic Withdrawal Plan” below).

Minimum Account Balance. Due to the high cost of maintaining shareholder accounts, the Fund may involuntarily redeem shares in an account, and pay the proceeds to the shareholder, if the shareholder’s account balance falls below $10,000 due to shareholder redemptions. This does not apply, however, if the balance falls below the minimum solely because of a decline in the Fund’s NAV. Before shares are redeemed to close an account, the shareholder is notified in writing and allowed 30 days to purchase additional shares to meet the minimum account balance requirement.
 
Automatic Withdrawal Plan. If the shares in your account have a value of at least $5,000, you (or another person you have designated) may receive monthly or quarterly payments in a specified amount of not less than $100 each. There is currently no charge for this service, but the Transfer Agent reserves the right, upon 30 days written notice, to make reasonable charges. Telephone the Transfer Agent toll-free at 1-855-691-5288 for additional information.
 
Redemptions in Kind. The Fund reserves the right to make payment for a redemption in securities rather than cash, which is known as a “redemption in kind.” This would be done only under extraordinary circumstances and if the Fund deems it advisable for the benefit of all shareholders, such as a very large redemption that could affect Fund operations (for example, more than 1% of the Fund’s net assets). A redemption in kind will consist of securities equal in market value to the Fund shares being redeemed. If the Fund redeems your shares in kind, you will bear the market risks associated with the securities paid as redemption proceed until such securities are sold. When you sell these securities, you will pay brokerage charges.

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Income dividends and net capital gain distributions, if any, are normally declared and paid annually by the Fund in December. Your distributions of dividends and capital gains will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund unless you elect to receive them in cash. The Fund’s distributions of income and capital gains, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares, will be subject to federal income tax.

The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes, and as such, will not be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income and gains that it distributes to its shareholders. The Fund intends to distribute its income and gains in such a way that it will not be subject to a federal excise tax on certain undistributed amounts.

17

Distributions attributable to ordinary income and short-term capital gains are generally taxed as ordinary income, although certain income dividends may be taxed to non-corporate shareholders at long-term capital gains rates. In the case of corporations that hold shares of the Fund, certain income from the Fund may qualify for a 70% dividends-received deduction. Distributions of long-term capital gains are generally taxed as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long you have held your Fund shares.

When you redeem Fund shares, you generally realize a capital gain or loss as long as you hold the shares as capital assets. Except for investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts, and tax-exempt investors that do not borrow to purchase Fund shares, any gain realized on a redemption of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax.

You will be notified by February 15 th of each year about the federal tax status of distributions made by the Fund during the prior year. Depending on your residence for tax purposes, distributions also may be subject to state and local taxes.

Federal law requires the Fund to withhold taxes on distributions paid to shareholders who fail to provide a social security number or taxpayer identification number or fail to certify that such number is correct. Foreign shareholders may be subject to special withholding requirements.

Because everyone’s tax situation is not the same, you should consult your tax professional about federal, state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Marshfield Concentrated Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified series of Ultimus Managers Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company. The Trust is an unincorporated business trust that was organized under Ohio law on February 28, 2012.  The Fund’s investments are managed by Marshfield Associates, Inc. (the “Adviser”). For further information on the Fund, please call 1-855-691-5288.
            
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON INVESTMENTS, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

Information contained in this SAI expands upon information contained in the Prospectus.  All investments in securities and other financial instruments involve a risk of financial loss. No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment programs will be successful. Investors should carefully review the descriptions of the Fund’s investments and their risks described in the Prospectus and this SAI. No investment in shares of the Fund should be made without first reading the Prospectus.

General Investment Risks.  Prices of securities in which the Fund invests may fluctuate in response to many factors, including, but not limited to, the activities of the individual companies whose securities the Fund owns, general market and economic conditions, interest rates, and specific industry changes. Such price fluctuations subject the Fund to potential losses. In addition, regardless of any one company’s particular prospects, a declining stock market may produce a decline in prices for all securities, which could also result in losses for the Fund. Market declines may continue for an indefinite period, and investors should understand that during temporary or extended bear markets, the value of equity securities will likely decline.

Diversification. The Fund is non-diversified. A non-diversified fund is a fund that does not satisfy the definition of a “diversified company” set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). A “diversified company” means that as to 75% of the Fund’s total assets (1) no more than 5% may be invested in the securities of a single issuer, and (2) the Fund may not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer. As a result of being a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer and hold securities in only a few issuers.

Since the Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), the Fund will seek to limit its investment, excluding cash, cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies, so that at the close of each quarter of the taxable year, (1) not more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets will be invested in the securities of a single issuer, and (2) with respect to 50% of its total assets, not more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets will be invested in the securities of a single issuer nor represent more than 10% of the issuer’s outstanding voting securities.

2

Because the Fund may invest a great percentage of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers, the Fund is subject to the risk that its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of relatively few securities.

Equity Securities.  The equity portion of the Fund’s portfolio will generally be comprised of common stock traded on domestic securities exchanges or over-the counter markets.  The prices of equity in which the Fund invests may fluctuate in response to many factors, including, but not limited to, the activities of the individual companies whose securities the Fund owns, general market and economic conditions, interest rates, and specific industry changes.  Such price fluctuations subject the Fund to potential losses.  In addition, regardless of any one company’s particular prospects, a declining stock market may produce a decline in prices for all equity securities, which could also result in losses for the Fund.  Market declines may continue for an indefinite period of time, and investors should understand that during temporary or extended bear markets, the value of equity securities will likely decline.
 
Common Stock.  The Fund may purchase common stock. Prices of common stock may fluctuate in response to many factors, including, but not limited to, the activities of the individual companies whose stock the Fund owns, general market and economic conditions, interest rates, and specific industry changes. Such price fluctuations subject the Fund potential loss. In addition, regardless of any one company’s particular prospects, a declining stock market may produce a decline in prices for all stocks, which also result in losses for the Fund. Market declines may continue for any indefinite period, and investors should understand that during temporary or extended bear markets, the value of common stocks would decline.
 
Preferred Stock.  The Fund may invest in preferred stock. Preferred stocks are securities that represent an ownership interest providing the holder with claims on the issuer’s earnings and assets before common stock owners but after bond owners. Unlike debt securities, the obligations of an issuer of preferred stock, including dividend and other payment obligations, may not typically be accelerated by the holders of such preferred stock on the occurrence of an event of default or other non-compliance by the issuer of the preferred stock.  Preferred stocks may include the obligation to pay a stated dividend.  The price of preferred stocks could depend more on the size of the dividend than on the company’s performance.  If a company fails to pay the dividend, its preferred stock is likely to drop in price.  Changes in interest rates can also affect the price of preferred stock.

Convertible Securities.  In addition to common and preferred stocks, the Fund may invest in securities convertible into common stock such as convertible bonds, convertible preferred stocks, and warrants. Convertible bonds are fixed income securities that may be converted at a stated price within a specified period into a certain quantity of the common stock of the same or a different issuer. Convertible bonds are senior to common stocks in an issuer's capital structure, but are usually subordinated to similar non-convertible securities. While providing a fixed income stream (generally higher in yield than the income derivable from common stock but lower than that afforded by a similar nonconvertible security), a convertible security also provides the investor the opportunity, through its conversion feature, to participate in the capital appreciation of the underlying common stock. Like other debt securities, the value of a convertible bond tends to vary inversely with the level of interest rates. However, to the extent that the market price of the underlying common stock approaches or exceeds the conversion price, the price of the convertible bond will be increasingly influenced by its conversion value (the security's worth, at market value, if converted into the underlying common stock). Although to a lesser extent than with fixed-income securities, the market value of convertible bonds tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, tends to increase as interest rates decline. In addition, because of the conversion feature, the market value of convertible bonds tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying common stock. A unique feature of convertible securities is that as the market price of the underlying common stock declines, convertible securities tend to trade increasingly on a yield basis and so may not experience market value declines to the same extent as the underlying common stock. When the market price of the underlying common stock increases, the prices of the convertible securities tend to rise as a reflection of the value of the underlying common stock. While no securities investments are without risk, investments in convertible securities generally entail less risk than investments in common stock of the same issuer.

3

Warrants and Rights.  The Fund may purchase warrants and rights, or it may acquire ownership of such investments by virtue of its ownership of common stocks. Warrants are essentially options to purchase equity securities at specific prices and are valid for a specific period of time.  Rights are similar to warrants but generally have a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. The holders of warrants and rights have no voting rights, and receive no dividends, with respect to the equity interests underlying warrants or rights, and will have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer, until the warrant or right is exercised.  Investments in warrants and rights involve certain risks, including the possible lack of a liquid market for resale, potential price fluctuations as a result of speculation or other factors, and failure of the price of the underlying security to reach or have reasonable prospects of reaching a level at which the warrant or right can be prudently exercised (in which event the warrant or right may expire without being exercised, resulting in a loss of the Fund’s entire investment therein).
 
Foreign Securities. The Fund may invest in securities issued by foreign governments or foreign corporations, directly or indirectly through ETFs or derivative transactions (e.g., foreign currency futures). The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that trade on U.S. and foreign stock exchanges or in the form of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”).

ADRs are receipts that evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign issuer. ADRs are generally issued by a U.S. bank or trust company to U.S. buyers as a substitute for direct ownership of a foreign security and are traded on U.S. Exchanges. ADRs, in registered form, are designed for use in the U.S. securities markets. ADRs may be purchased through “sponsored” or “unsponsored” facilities. A sponsored facility is established jointly by the issuer of the underlying security and a depositary. A depositary may establish an unsponsored facility without participation by the issuer of the deposited security. The depositary of an unsponsored ADR is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through voting rights with respect to the deposited security. Investments in ADRs are subject to risks similar to those associated with direct investments in foreign securities. The Fund intends to invest primarily in foreign securities that are listed on U.S. stock exchanges.

4

Investing in the securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. The performance of foreign markets does not necessarily track U.S. markets. Foreign investments may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in currency rates and exchange control regulations. There may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a U.S. company, and foreign companies may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. There may be less governmental supervision of securities markets, brokers and issuers of securities than in the U.S. Foreign securities often trade with less frequency and volume than domestic securities and, therefore, may exhibit less liquidity and greater price volatility than secur ities of U.S. companies. Changes in foreign exchange rates will affect the value of those securities, which are denominated or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, to the extent the Fund invests in a foreign security, which are denominated or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, there is the risk that the value of such security will decrease due to changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar and the securities underlying foreign currency. Additional costs associated with an investment in foreign securities may include higher custodial fees than those applicable to domestic custodial arrangements, generally higher commission rates on foreign portfolio transactions, and transaction costs of foreign currency conversions. Investments in foreign securities may also be subject to other risks different from those affecting U.S. investments, including local political or economic developments, expropriation or nationalization of assets, restrictions on foreign investment and repatriation of capital, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest payments, currency blockage (which would prevent cash from being brought back to the U.S.), limits on proxy voting and difficulty in enforcing legal rights outside the U.S. Currency exchange rates and regulations may cause fluctuation in the value of foreign securities. In addition, foreign securities and dividends and interest payable on those securities, may be subject to foreign taxes, including taxes withheld from payments on those securities.

Investment Companies.   The Fund may, from time to time, invest in securities of other investment companies, including, without limitation, money market funds and ETFs. The Fund expects to rely on Rule 12d1-1 under the 1940 Act, when purchasing shares of a money market fund.  Under Rule 12d1-1, the Fund may generally invest without limitation in money market funds as long as the Fund pays no sales charge (“sales charge”), as defined in rule 2830(b)(8) of the Conduct Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), or service fee, as defined in rule 2830(b)(9) of the Conduct Rules of FINRA, charged in connection with the purchase, sale, or redemption of securities issued by the money market fund (“service fee”); or the investment Adviser waives its management fee in an amount necessary to offset any sales charge or service fee. The Fund generally expects to rely on Section 12(d)(1)(F) of the 1940 Act when purchasing shares of other investment companies that are not money market funds. Under Section 12(d)(1)(F), the Fund may generally acquire shares of another investment company unless, immediately after such acquisition, the Fund and its affiliated persons would hold more than 3% of the investment company’s total outstanding stock (the “3% Limitation”). To the extent the 3% Limitation applies to an investment the Fund wishes to make, the Fund may be prevented from allocating its investments in the manner that the Adviser considers optimal. Also, in the event that there is a proxy vote with respect to shares of another investment company purchased and held by the Fund under Section 12(d)(1)(F), then the Fund will either (i) vote such shares in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such securities; or (ii) contact its shareholders for instructions regarding how to vote the proxy. Investments in other investment companies subject the Fund to additional operating and management fees and expenses. For example, Fund investors will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by underlying investment companies in which the Funds invest, in addition to the Funds’ direct fees and expenses.

5

Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”).   The Fund may invest in one or more ETFs. Index-based ETFs are typically investment companies that hold a portfolio of common stock generally designed to track the performance of a securities index or sector of an index. Alternatively, ETFs may be actively managed pursuant to a particular investment strategy, similar to other non-index based investment companies. ETFs are traded on a securities exchange based on their market value.  An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional registered investment company (i.e., one that is not exchange traded), including the risk that the general level of stock prices, or that the prices of stocks within a particular sector, may increase or decrease, thereby affecting the value of the shares of an ETF.  In addition, all ETFs will have costs and expenses that will be passed on to the Funds and these costs and expenses will in turn increase the expenses of the Fund.  Your cost of investing in the Fund will generally be higher than the cost of investing directly in ETFs.  ETFs are also subject to the following risks that often do not apply to conventional investment companies: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to the ETF’s net asset value, and as a result, ETFs may experience more price volatility than other types of portfolio investments and such volatility could negatively impact the net asset value of the Funds; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained at a sufficient volume; (iii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange deems such action appropriate; and (iv) ETF shares may be delisted from the exchange on which they trade, or “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices used by the exchange) may temporarily halt trading in the ETF’s stock.  ETFs are also subject to the risks of the underlying securities or sectors that the ETF is designed to track.

In purchasing ETFs, the Fund will be subject to the 3% Limitation unless (i) the ETF or the Fund has received an order for exemptive relief from the 3% Limitation from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that is applicable to the Fund; and (ii) the ETF and the Fund take appropriate steps to comply with any conditions in such order. The SEC has issued such exemptive orders to numerous ETFs and their investment advisers, which permit investment companies, including the Fund, to invest in such ETFs (“Exempted ETFs”) beyond the 3% Limitation, subject to certain terms and conditions, including that such investment companies enter into an agreement with the Exempted ETF. The Fund may enter into such agreements with one or more Exempted ETFs so that the Fund will be permitted to invest in such Exempted ETFs in excess of the 3% Limitation.

Money Market Instruments.  The Fund may invest in money market instruments, which may include U.S. Government obligations or corporate debt obligations (including those subject to repurchase agreements) as described herein. Money market instruments also may include Bankers’ Acceptances, Certificates of Deposit of domestic branches of U.S. banks, Commercial Paper, Variable Amount Demand Master Notes (“Master Notes”) and shares of money market investment companies. The Fund may invest in shares of money market investment companies to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.

6

Banker’s   Acceptances are time drafts drawn on and “accepted” by a bank, which are the customary means of effecting payment for merchandise sold in import-export transactions and are a source of financing used extensively in international trade. When a bank “accepts” such a time draft, it assumes liability for its payment. When the Fund acquires a Banker’s Acceptance, the bank which “accepted” the time draft is liable for payment of interest and principal when due. The Banker’s Acceptance, therefore, carries the full faith and credit of such bank.

A Certificate of Deposit (“CD”) is an unsecured, interest bearing debt obligation of a bank. Commercial Paper is an unsecured, short-term debt obligation of a bank, corporation, or other borrower. Commercial Paper maturity generally ranges from two to 270 days and is usually sold on a discounted basis rather than as an interest-bearing instrument. The Fund may invest in Commercial Paper of any rating. Commercial Paper may include Master Notes of the same quality.

Master Notes are unsecured obligations which are redeemable upon demand of the holder and which permit the investment of fluctuating amounts at varying rates of interest. Master Notes will be acquired by the Fund only through the Master Note program of the Fund’s custodian bank, acting as administrator thereof. The Adviser will monitor, on a continuous basis, the earnings power, cash flow, and other liquidity ratios of the issuer of a Master Note held by a Fund.

Debt Securities.  The Fund may invest in corporate debt securities and U.S. Government obligations.  Corporate securities include, but are not limited to, debt obligations offered by public or private corporations either registered or unregistered.  The market value of such securities may fluctuate in response to interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer.  A debt instrument’s credit quality depends on the issuer’s ability to pay interest on the security and repay the debt; the lower the credit rating, the greater the risk that the security’s issuer will default.  The credit risk of a security may also depend on the credit quality of any bank or financial institution that provides credit enhancement for the security.  In the case of corporate debt, the Fund will normally purchase investment grade securities, meaning securities rated BBB or better by Standard & Poor’s or any comparable rating by another NRSRO or, if unrated, as determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

“U.S. Government obligations” include securities which are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, by various agencies of the U.S. Government, and by various instrumentalities which have been established or sponsored by the U.S. Government.  U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government.  U.S. Treasury obligations include Treasury Bills, Treasury Notes, and Treasury Bonds.  Treasury Bills have initial maturities of one year or less; Treasury Notes have initial maturities of one to ten years; and Treasury Bonds generally have initial maturities of greater than ten years.

Agencies and instrumentalities established by the U.S. Government include the Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal Land Bank, the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Small Business Administration, the Bank for Cooperatives, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Federal Financing Bank, the Federal Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, the Resolution Funding Corporation, the Financing Corporation of America and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Some of these securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government while others are supported only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality, which may include the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. In the case of U.S. Government obligations not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the investor must look principally to the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment, and may not be able to assert a claim against the U.S. Government itself in the event the agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment. U.S. Government obligations are subject to price fluctuations based upon changes in the level of interest rates, which will generally result in all those securities changing in price in the same way, i.e., all those securities experiencing appreciation when interest rates decline and depreciation when interest rates rise. Any guarantee of the U.S. government will not extend to the yield or value of the Fund’s shares.

7

Repurchase Agreements .  The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements.  A repurchase agreement transaction occurs when an investor purchases a security (normally a U.S. government security from a counterparty with the understanding that the Fund will later resell the security to the same counterparty (normally a member bank of the Federal Reserve or a registered government securities dealer).  The Fund’s initial purchase is essentially a loan that is collateralized by the security (or securities substituted for them under the repurchase agreement). The Fund must return the security to the counterparty when the counterparty repurchases it at a later date and higher price. The repurchase price exceeds the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed upon market interest rate effective for the period of time during which the repurchase agreement is in effect.  Delivery pursuant to the resale normally will occur within one to seven days of the purchase.  Repurchase agreements are considered “loans” under the 1940 Act, collateralized by the underlying security. The Trust has implemented procedures to monitor on a continuous basis the value of the collateral serving as security for repurchase obligations. The Adviser will consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty. If the counterparty fails to pay the agreed upon resale price on the delivery date, the Fund will retain or attempt to dispose of the collateral.  The Fund’s risk is that such default may include any decline in value of the collateral to an amount which is less than 100% of the repurchase price, any costs of disposing of such collateral, and any loss resulting from any delay in foreclosing on the collateral.  The Fund will not enter into any repurchase agreement that would cause more than 15% of its net assets to be invested in repurchase agreements that extend beyond seven days.

Illiquid Securities .  The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, but will limit its investment in illiquid securities to no more than 15% of its net assets. Illiquid securities are securities that may be difficult to sell promptly (generally within seven days) at approximately their current value because of a lack of an available market and other factors . Under the supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), the Adviser determines the liquidity of the Fund’s investments and, through reports from the Adviser, the Trustees monitor investments in illiquid instruments. If through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the Fund were in a position where more than 15% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would seek to take appropriate steps to protect liquidity. The sale of some illiquid and other types of securities may be subject to legal restrictions.

Certain restricted securities are illiquid unless it is determined, based upon a review of the trading markets for a specific restricted security, that such restricted security is liquid because it is so-called “4(2) commercial paper” or is otherwise eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (“144A Securities”). Investing in 144A Securities may decrease the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio to the extent that qualified institutional buyers become for a time uninterested in purchasing these restricted securities. The purchase price and subsequent valuation of restricted and illiquid securities normally reflect a discount, which may be significant, from the market price of comparable securities for which a liquid market exists. 144A Securities determined by the Adviser to be liquid, subject to the oversight of the Board, shall not be deemed “illiquid securities”.

8

If the Fund invests in securities for which there is no ready market, it may not be able to readily sell such securities. Such securities are unlike securities that are traded in the open market, and which can be expected to be sold immediately if the market is adequate. The sale price of illiquid securities once realized may be lower or higher than the Adviser’s most recent estimate of their fair market value. Generally, less public information is available about the issuers of such securities than about companies whose securities are publicly traded.

Restricted Securities. Within its limitation on investment in illiquid securities, the Fund may purchase restricted securities that generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the federal securities laws, or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time the Fund may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If during such a period adverse market conditions were to develop, the Fund might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Borrowing Money. The Fund does not intend to borrow money for the purpose of purchasing securities, but may, subject to the restrictions of the 1940 Act, borrow up to one-third of its total assets, including the amount of such borrowing, to maintain necessary liquidity to make payments for redemptions of Fund shares or for temporary emergency purposes. Borrowing involves the creation of a liability that requires the Fund to pay interest. In the event the Fund should ever borrow money under these conditions, such borrowing could increase the Fund’s costs and thus reduce the value of the Fund’s assets. In an extreme case, if the Fund’s current investment income were not sufficient to meet the interest expense of borrowing, it could be necessary for the Fund to liquidate certain of its investments at an inappropriate time.

Lending of Portfolio Securities. In order to generate additional income, the Fund may lend portfolio securities in an amount up to 33⅓% of its total assets to broker-dealers, major banks, or other recognized domestic institutional borrowers of securities that the Adviser has determined are creditworthy under guidelines established by the Trustees. In determining whether the Fund will lend securities, the Adviser will consider all relevant facts and circumstances. The Fund may not lend securities to any company affiliated with the Adviser. Each loan of securities will be collateralized by cash, securities, or letters of credit. The Fund might experience a loss if the borrower defaults on the loan.
 
The borrower at all times during the loan must maintain with the Fund cash or cash equivalent collateral, or provide to the Fund an irrevocable letter of credit equal in value to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned. While the loan is outstanding, the borrower will pay the Fund any dividends or interest paid on the loaned securities, and the Fund may invest the cash collateral to earn additional income. Alternatively, the Fund may receive an agreed-upon amount of interest income from the borrower who has delivered equivalent collateral or a letter of credit. It is anticipated that the Fund may share with the borrower some of the income received on the collateral for the loan or the Fund will be paid a premium for the loan. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the Fund or the borrower at any time. The Fund may pay reasonable administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan, and may pay a negotiated portion of the income earned on the cash to the borrower or placing broker. As with other extensions of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. If the Fund invests the cash collateral from the borrower, there is the risk that such investment may result in a financial loss. In such an event, the Fund would be required to repay the borrower out the Fund’s assets.
 
9

Where voting rights with respect to the loaned securities pass with the lending of the securities, the Adviser normally intends to call the loaned securities to vote proxies, or to use other practicable and legally enforceable means to obtain voting rights, when the Adviser has knowledge that, in its opinion, a material event affecting the loaned securities will occur or the Adviser otherwise believes it necessary to vote.

Economic and Regulatory Risks. Although the U.S. economy has seen gradual improvement over the years, the effects of the global financial crisis that began to unfold in 2007 continue to exist and economic growth has been slow and uneven. In response to the crisis, the U.S. and other governments and the Federal Reserve and other foreign central banks took steps to support financial markets, including by keeping interest rates at historically low levels. It is unclear how long this support will last and at what levels. Reduction or withdrawal of support by the U.S. and the Federal Reserve and/or by other governments and their central banks, failure of such efforts or support in response to the crisis, or investor perception that such efforts or support are not succeeding could negatively affect financial markets generally, as well as result in higher interest rates, increase market volatility and reduce the value and liquidity of certain securities, including securities held by the Fund.

In addition, policy and legislative changes in the U.S. and in other countries have been implemented that are affecting many aspects of the financial markets and imposing additional regulatory requirements. Given the broad scope, sweeping nature, and relatively recent enactment of some of these changes, the potential impact they could have on securities held by the Fund is unclear and may not be fully known for some time. These changes and any future regulatory change could adversely affect the Fund.

Cybersecurity Risk. The Fund and its service providers may be subject to operational and information security risks resulting from breaches in cybersecurity. A breach in cybersecurity refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose or compromise confidential information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Breaches in cybersecurity include, among other things, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites, the unauthorized release of confidential information or various other operational disruptions. Successful cybersecurity breaches of the Fund or the Fund’s Adviser, distributor, custodian, the transfer agent or other third party services providers may adversely impact the Fund and its shareholders. For instance, a successful cybersecurity breach may interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, cause the release of private personal shareholder information, impede trading, subject the Fund to regulatory fines or financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. The Fund relies on third party service providers for many of the day-to-day operations, and is therefore subject to the risk that the protections and protocols implemented by those service providers will be ineffective in protecting the Funds from cybersecurity breaches. Similar types of cybersecurity risks are also present for issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the Fund’s investments in such companies to lose value. There is no guarantee the Fund will be successful in protecting against cybersecurity breaches.

10

Temporary Defensive Positions. The Fund may from time to time take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its principal investment strategies. If the Adviser believes a temporary defensive position is warranted in view of market conditions, the Fund may hold cash or invest up to 100% of its assets in high-quality short-term government or corporate obligations, money market instruments or shares of money market mutual funds. Taking a temporary defensive position may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.

Portfolio Turnover . The portfolio turnover rate for the Fund is calculated by dividing the lesser of the Fund’s purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the year by the monthly average value of the securities. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from year to year as well as within a particular year, and may also be affected by cash requirements for redemption of shares. High portfolio turnover rates will generally result in higher transaction costs to the Fund, including brokerage commissions, and may result in additional tax consequences to the Fund’s shareholders. Portfolio turnover will not be a factor in making buy and sell decisions for the Fund.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Fund has adopted the following fundamental investment limitations that may not be changed without the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As used in the Prospectus and this SAI, the term “majority” of the outstanding shares of the Fund means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented at such meeting; or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Unless otherwise indicated, percentage limitations apply at the time of purchase of the applicable securities. See the Prospectus for more information about the Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies, each of which are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTIONS.  As a matter of fundamental policy:

1.              Borrowing Money . The Fund will not borrow money except as permitted under the 1940 Act.  For example, subject to the restrictions of the 1940 Act the Fund may borrow money from banks to meet redemption requests or for extraordinary or emergency purposes.

11

2.              Senior Securities . The Fund will not issue senior securities, except as permitted by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or interpretations of the SEC or its staff.

3.              Underwriting . The Fund will not act as underwriter, except to the extent that, in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities (including restricted securities), the Fund may be deemed an underwriter under certain federal securities laws or in connection with investments in other investment companies.

4.              Real Estate . The Fund will not directly purchase or sell real estate. This limitation is not applicable to investments in marketable securities which are secured by or represent interests in real estate. This limitation does not preclude the Fund from holding or selling real estate acquired as a result of the Fund’s ownership of securities or other instruments, investing in mortgage-related securities or investing in companies engaged in the real estate business or that have a significant portion of their assets in real estate (including real estate investment trusts).

5.              Commodities . The Fund will not purchase or sell commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other investments. This limitation does not preclude the Fund from purchasing or selling options, forward contracts, or futures contracts, including those relating to indices, or options on futures contracts or indices, or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by commodities or from investing in companies which are engaged in a commodities business or have a significant portion of their assets in commodities.

6.              Loans . The Fund will not make loans to other persons, provided that the Fund may lend its portfolio securities in an amount up to 33% of total Fund assets, and provided further that, for purposes of this restriction, investment in U.S. Government obligations, short-term commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements and any other lending arrangement permitted by the 1940 Act, any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or interpretations of the SEC or its staff shall not be deemed to be the making of a “loan”. For purposes of this limitation, the term “loans” shall not include the purchase of a portion of an issue of publicly distributed bonds, debentures or other debt securities.

7.              Concentration . The Fund will not invest more than 50% of its total assets in a particular industry. This limitation is not applicable to investments in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities) or state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions (other than revenue bonds issued in connection with an identifiable industry; e.g., healthcare or education) or repurchase agreements with respect thereto, or investments in registered investment companies.

With respect to the “fundamental” investment restrictions above, if a percentage limitation is adhered to at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting from any change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such restriction (i.e., percentage limitations are determined at the time of purchase); provided, however, that the treatment of the fundamental restrictions related to borrowing money and issuing senior securities are exceptions to this general rule.

12

Senior securities may include any obligation or instrument issued by a fund evidencing indebtedness. The 1940 Act generally prohibits funds from issuing senior securities, although it does not treat certain transactions as senior securities, such as certain borrowings, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements, firm commitment agreements and standby commitments, with appropriate earmarking or segregation of assets to cover such obligation.

The 1940 Act presently allows the Fund to borrow from any bank (including pledging, mortgaging or hypothecating assets) in an amount up to 33⅓% of its total assets.

CALCULATION OF SHARE PRICE

The share price or NAV of shares of the Fund is determined as of the close of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on each day the NYSE is open for trading.  Currently, the NYSE is open for trading on every day except Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

For purposes of computing the Fund’s NAV, securities are valued at market value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open. Securities listed on the NYSE or other exchanges are valued based on their last sale prices on the exchanges on which they are primarily traded. If there are no sales on that day, the securities are valued at the closing bid price on the NYSE or other primary exchange for that day. The National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“NASDAQ”) listed securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If there are no sales on that day, the securities are valued at the last bid price as reported by NASDAQ. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last sale price, if available, otherwise at the most recently quoted bid price. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, securities and other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Fixed-income securities are normally valued based on prices obtained from independent third-party pricing services approved by the Board, which are generally determined with consideration given to institutional bid and last sale prices and take into account security prices, yield, maturity, call features, ratings, institutional sized trading in similar groups of securities and developments related to specific securities. Foreign securities are normally valued on the basis of fair valuation prices obtained from independent third-party pricing services approved by the Board, which are generally determined with consideration given to any change in price of the foreign security and any other developments related to the foreign security since the last sale price on the exchange on which such foreign security primarily traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE. One or more pricing services may be utilized to determine the fair value of securities held by the Fund. The methods used by independent pricing services and the quality of valuations so established are reviewed by the Adviser and the Administrator under the general supervision of the Board. To the extent the assets of the Fund are invested in other open-end investment companies that are registered under the 1940 Act, the Fund’s NAV is calculated based upon the NAVs reported by such registered open-end investment companies, and the prospectuses for these companies explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

13

ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION

Shares of the Fund are offered for sale on a continuous basis. Shares are sold and redeemed at their NAV, as next determined after receipt of the purchase or redemption order in proper form.

The Fund may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment for shares during a period when: (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted by applicable rules and regulations of the SEC; (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings; (c) the SEC has by order permitted these suspensions; or (d) an emergency exists as a result of which: (i) disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable, or (ii) it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to determine the value of its assets.

The Fund reserves the right to make payment for a redemption in securities rather than cash, which is known as a “redemption in kind”. This would be done only under extraordinary circumstances and if the Fund deems it advisable for the benefit of all shareholders, such as a very large redemption that could affect Fund operations (for example, more than 1% of the Fund’s net assets). A redemption in kind will consist of liquid securities equal in market value to your shares.  Securities delivered in payment of redemptions will be valued at the same value assigned to them in computing the Fund’s NAV. When you convert these securities to cash, you will pay brokerage charges.

SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

As noted in the Prospectus, the Fund offers the following shareholder services:

Regular Account. The regular account allows for voluntary investments to be made at any time. Available to individuals, custodians, corporations, trusts, estates, corporate retirement plans and others, investors are free to make additions to and withdrawals from their account as often as they wish. When an investor makes an initial investment in the Fund, a shareholder account is opened in accordance with the investor’s registration instructions. Each time there is a transaction in a shareholder account, such as an additional investment or a redemption, the shareholder will receive a confirmation statement showing the current transaction.

Automatic Investment Plan. The automatic investment plan enables investors to make regular periodic investments in shares through automatic charges to their checking account. With shareholder authorization and bank approval, the Fund’s transfer agent will automatically charge the checking account for the amount specified ($100 minimum) which will be automatically invested in shares at the NAV on or about the fifteenth and/or the last business day of the month, or both. The shareholder may change the amount of the investment or discontinue the plan at any time by writing to the Fund.

Transfer of Registration. To transfer shares to another owner, send a written request to Marshfield Concentrated Opportunity Fund, c/o Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC, P.O. Box 46707, Cincinnati, Ohio 45246-0707. Your request should include the following:  (i) the Fund name and existing account registration; (ii) signature(s) of the registered owner(s) exactly as the signature(s) appear(s) on the account registration; (iii) if it is for a new account, a completed account application, or if it is an existing account, the account number; (iv) Medallion signature guarantees (See the heading “How to Redeem Shares – Signature Guarantees” in the Prospectus); and (v) any additional documents that are required for transfer by corporations, administrators, executors, trustees, guardians, etc.  If you have any questions about transferring shares, call or write the Fund.

MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST

Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund and the Trust rests with the Board. The members of the Board (the “Trustees”) are elected by the Trust’s shareholders or existing members of the Board. The Trustees serve for terms of indefinite duration until death, resignation, retirement or removal from office. The Trustees, in turn, elect the officers of the Trust to actively supervise the Trust’s day-to-day operations. The officers are elected annually. Certain officers of the Trust also may serve as Trustees.

The Trust will be managed by the Trustees in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio governing business trusts. There are currently four Trustees, three of whom are not “interested persons,” as defined by the 1940 Act, of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”). The Independent Trustees receive compensation for their services as Trustee and attendance at meetings of the Board. Officers of the Trust receive no compensation from the Trust for performing the duties of their offices.

Attached in Appendix A is a list of the Trustees and executive officers of the Trust, their year of birth and address, their present position with the Trust, and their principal occupation during the past five years. Those Trustees who are “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act and those Trustees who are Independent Trustees are identified in the table.

Leadership Structure and Qualifications of Trustees . As noted above, the Board consists of four Trustees, three of whom are Independent Trustees. The Board is responsible for the oversight of the series, or funds, of the Trust. In addition to the Fund, the Trust currently consists of the following series:

· Alambic Small Cap Value Plus Fund managed by Alambic Investment Management, L.P. of, San Francisco, CA;
· APEXcm Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund managed by Apex Capital Management, Inc. of Dayton, Ohio;
· Barrow Value Opportunity Fund and Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund managed by Barrow Street Advisors LLC of Stamford, Connecticut;
· Blue Current Global Dividend Fund managed by Edge Advisors, LLC of Atlanta, Georgia ;
· Cincinnati Asset Management Funds: Broad Market Strategic Income Fund managed by Cincinnati Asset Management, Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio;

The Board has engaged the above-named investment advisers to oversee the day-to-day management of the Trust’s series. The Board is responsible for overseeing these investment advisers and the Trust’s other service providers in the operations of the Trust in accordance with the 1940 Act, other applicable federal and state laws, and the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”).

The Board meets at least four times throughout the year. The Board generally meets in person, but may meet by telephone as permitted by the 1940 Act. In addition, the Trustees may meet in person or by telephone at special meetings or on an informal basis at other times. The Independent Trustees also meet at least quarterly without the presence of any representatives of management.

Board Leadership .     The Board is led by its Chairman, who is also an Independent Trustee. The Chairman presides at all Board Meetings. The Chairman facilitates communication and coordination between the Trustees and management. He also reviews meeting agendas for the Board and the information provided by management to the Trustees. The Chairman works closely with Trust counsel and counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Chairman is also assisted by the Trust’s President, who, with the assistance of the Trust’s other officers, oversees the daily operations of the Fund, including monitoring the activities of all of the Fund’s service providers.
 
The Board believes that its leadership structure, including having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and three out of four Trustees as Independent Trustees, is appropriate and in the best interests of the Trust. The Board also believes its leadership structure facilitates the orderly and efficient flow of information to the Independent Trustees from Trust management.

Board Committee . The Board has established a Committee of Independent Trustees, the principal functions of which are: (i) to appoint, retain and oversee the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm; (ii) to meet separately with the independent registered public accounting firm and receive and consider a report concerning its conduct of the audit, including any comments or recommendations it deems appropriate; (iii) to select and nominate all persons to serve as Independent Trustees; (iv) to act as the Trust’s qualified legal compliance committee (“QLCC”), as defined in the regulations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and (v) to act as a proxy voting committee if called upon under the Trust’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures when a matter with respect to which a series of the Trust is entitled to vote presents a conflict between the interest of the series’ shareholders, on the one hand, and those of the series’ investment manager on the other hand.. In selecting and nominating persons to serve as Independent Trustees, the Committee will not consider nominees recommended by shareholders of the Trust. Messrs. Deptula, Davis and Discepoli are the members of the Committee of Independent Trustees. Mr. Deptula is the Chairman of the Committee and presides at its meetings. The Committee of Independent Trustees met four times during the prior fiscal year.

16

Qualifications of the Trustees . The Committee of Independent Trustees reviews the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of potential candidates for nomination or election by the Board. In evaluating a candidate for nomination or election as a Trustee, the Committee takes into account the contribution that the candidate would be expected to make to the diverse mix of experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that the Committee believes contribute to the oversight of the Trust’s affairs. The Board has concluded, based on each Trustee’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on both an individual basis and in combination with the other Trustees, that each Trustee is qualified to serve on the Board. The Board believes that the Trustees’ ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the Adviser, other service providers, legal counsel and the independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties as Trustees support this conclusion. In determining that a particular Trustee is and will continue to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board considers a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, is controlling.

In addition to the Trustee Qualifications listed above, each of the Trustees has additional Trustee Qualifications including, among other things, the experience identified in the “Trustees and Executive Officers” table included in Appendix A and as follows:

Risk Oversight . The operation of a mutual fund, including its investment activities, generally involves a variety of risks. As part of its oversight of the Fund, the Board oversees risk through various regular board and committee activities. The Board, directly or through its Committee of Independent Trustees, reviews reports from, among others, the Adviser, the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer (the “CCO”), the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm, and outside legal counsel, regarding risks faced by the Fund and the risk management programs of the Adviser, for the Fund’s investment and trading activities, and certain service providers. The actual day-to-day risk management for the Fund resides with the Adviser and other service providers to the Fund. Although the risk management policies of the Adviser and the service providers are designed to be effective, there is no guarantee that they will anticipate or mitigate all risks. Not all risks that may affect the Fund can be identified, eliminated or mitigated and some risks simply may not be anticipated or may be beyond the control of the Board or the Adviser or other service providers. The Independent Trustees meet separately with the Trust’s CCO at least annually, outside the presence of management, to discuss issues related to compliance. Furthermore, the Board receives an annual written report from the Trust’s CCO regarding the operation of the compliance policies and procedures of the Trust and its primary service providers.  As part of its oversight function, the Board also may hold special meetings or communicate directly with Trust management or the CCO to address matters arising between regular meetings.

The Board also receives quarterly reports from the Adviser on the investments and securities trading of the Fund, including its investment performance, as well as reports regarding the valuation of the Fund’s securities. The Board also receives quarterly reports from the Fund’s administrator, transfer agent and distributor on regular quarterly items and, where appropriate and as needed, on specific issues. In addition, in its annual review of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board will review information provided by the Adviser relating to its operational capabilities, financial condition and resources. The Board also conducts an annual self-evaluation that includes a review of its effectiveness in overseeing, among other things, the number of funds in the Trust and the effectiveness of the Board’s committee structure.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

Marshfield Associates, Inc., 21 Dupont Circle NW, Suite 500, Washington, D.C. 20036, serves as the investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement dated December 27, 2015 (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”).  The Adviser was organized in 1989 and also provides investment advisory services to individuals, pensions and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations or other business entities, and municipalities.

Subject to the Fund’s investment objective and policies approved by the Trustees of the Trust, the Adviser is responsible for providing the Fund with a continuous program of investing the Fund’s assets and determining the composition of the Fund’s portfolio.

The Investment Advisory Agreement is effective for an initial two-year period and will be renewed for periods of one year only so long as such renewal and continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Trustees or by vote of a majority of the applicable Fund’s outstanding voting securities, provided the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees.  The Investment Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty on 60 days’ notice by the Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund.  The Investment Advisory Agreement provides that it will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment,” as defined in the 1940 Act.

The Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee computed at the annual rate of 1.00% of its average daily net assets.  The Adviser has agreed to reduce its investment advisory fees and to pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to limit annual ordinary operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs, taxes, interest, costs to organize the Fund, acquired fund fees and expenses extraordinary expenses such as litigation and merger or reorganization costs, and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, and amounts, if any, payable pursuant to a plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act) to 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets until December 31, 2018.  Any such fee reductions by the Adviser, or payments by the Adviser of expenses which are the Fund’s obligation, are subject to repayment by the Fund, provided that the repayment does not cause the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses to exceed the foregoing expense limits, and provided further that the fees and expenses which are the subject of the repayment were incurred within 3 years of the repayment.

The Adviser manages the Fund’s investments in accordance with the stated investment objective and policies of the Fund, subject to the oversight of the Board. The Adviser is responsible for investment decisions, and provides the Fund with a portfolio manager to execute purchases and sales of securities. The Investment Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any loss suffered by the Trust or the Fund in connection with the performance of its duties, except a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to receipt of compensation for services (in which case any award of damages shall be limited to the period and the amount set forth in Section 36(b)(3) of the 1940 Act) or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Adviser in the performance of its duties, or from reckless disregard of its duties and obligations thereunder.

20

Because the Fund is newly organized, no information regarding the Advisory fees paid to the Adviser is included in this SAI.

Potential Conflicts of Interest                                                                       

Other Accounts. The Portfolio Managers’ management of the other accounts (the “Other Accounts”) may give rise to potential conflicts of interest in connection with their management of the Fund’s investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the Other Accounts, on the other.  A potential conflict of interest may arise where another account has the same investment objective as the Fund, is compared to the same index as the Fund, or otherwise holds, purchases or sells securities that are eligible to be held, purchased or sold by the Fund. In such situations the Portfolio Managers could favor one account over another. Another potential conflict could include the Portfolio Managers’ knowledge about the size, timing and possible market impact of Fund trades, whereby the Portfolio Managers could use this information to the advantage of other accounts and to the disadvantage of the Fund. However, the Adviser has established policies and procedures to ensure that the purchase and sale of securities among all accounts it manages are fairly and equitably allocated.

21

Investment Opportunities . The Fund’s investment objectives, strategies, and restrictions may be the same or substantially similar to one or more Other Accounts. As a result, the Adviser must allocate investment opportunities between the Fund and those Other Accounts. In many cases, the Fund and Other Accounts may all participate in opportunities to buy or sell a liquid security, and the Adviser will buy or sell the same security for the Fund and Other Accounts at essentially the same time. However, this may not always be the case: The Adviser may determine to buy or sell different securities for some accounts than for other accounts, or to buy or sell the same securities for some accounts at different times or in different proportions than for other accounts. This may be due to, among other things, limitations on the availability of particular opportunities, differences in investment objectives or strategies, other factors affecting the appropriateness or suitability of particular transactions for particular accounts, differences in accounts’ cash availability or ability to borrow, and/or differences in redemptions or withdrawals or new share purchasers or capital contributions. As a result, at any time the Fund’s portfolio may differ from that of Other Accounts that have similar or overlapping investment objectives or strategies.

Compensation
 
Mr. Niemczewski receives a salary and is a principal owner of the Adviser.  Ms. Hoffmann receives a salary and is an owner of the Adviser.

Ownership of Fund Shares

Because the Fund is newly organized, the Portfolio Managers have no beneficial ownership of Fund shares as of the date of this SAI.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser determines, subject to the general supervision of the Board and in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions, which securities are to be purchased and sold by the Fund and which brokers are eligible to execute the Fund’s portfolio transactions.

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities that are debt securities usually are principal transactions in which portfolio securities are normally purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter or market maker for the securities. Purchases from underwriters of portfolio securities generally include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases from dealers serving as market makers may include the spread between the bid and asked prices. Transactions on stock exchanges involve the payment of negotiated brokerage commissions. Transactions in the over-the-counter market are generally principal transactions with dealers. With respect to the over-the-counter market, the Fund, where possible, will deal directly with the dealers who make a market in the securities involved except under those circumstances where better price and execution are available elsewhere.

22

Allocation of transactions, including their frequency, to various brokers and dealers is determined by the Adviser in its best judgment consistent with its obligation to seek best execution and in a manner deemed fair and reasonable to shareholders. The primary consideration is prompt execution of orders in an effective manner at the most favorable price. Subject to this consideration, brokers who provide investment research to the Adviser may receive orders for transactions on behalf of the Fund. Information so received is in addition to and not in lieu of services required to be performed by the Adviser and does not reduce the fees payable to the Adviser by the Fund. Such information may be useful to the Adviser in serving both the Fund and other clients and, conversely, supplemental information obtained by the placement of brokerage orders of other clients may be useful to the Adviser in carrying out its obligations to the Fund. While the Adviser generally seeks competitive commissions, the Fund may not necessarily pay the lowest commission available on each brokerage transaction for the reasons discussed above.

Consistent with the foregoing, under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Adviser is authorized to pay a brokerage commission in excess of that which another broker might have charged for effecting the same transaction, in recognition of the value of brokerage and/or research services provided by the broker. The research received by the Adviser may include, without limitation: information on the United States and other world economies; information on specific industries, groups of securities, individual companies, political and other relevant news developments affecting markets and specific securities; technical and quantitative information about markets; analysis of proxy proposals affecting specific companies; accounting and performance systems that allow the Adviser to determine and track investment results; and trading systems that allow the Adviser to interface electronically with brokerage firms, custodians and other providers. Research is received in the form of written reports, telephone contacts, personal meetings, research seminars, software programs and access to computer databases. In some instances, research products or services received by the Adviser may also be used by the Adviser for functions that are not research related (i.e., not related to the making of investment decisions). Where a research product or service has a mixed use, the Adviser will make a reasonable allocation according to its use and will pay for the non-research function in cash using its own funds.

Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and procedures adopted by the Board, the Fund may execute portfolio transactions through any broker or dealer and pay brokerage commissions to a broker (i) which is an affiliated person of the Trust, or (ii) which is an affiliated person of such person, or (iii) an affiliated person of which is an affiliated person of the Trust, the Adviser or the Trust’s principal underwriter.

THE DISTRIBUTOR

Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), located at 225 Pictoria Drive, Suite 450, Cincinnati, Ohio 45246, is the exclusive agent for distribution of shares of the Fund. The Distributor is obligated to sell shares of the Fund on a best efforts basis only against purchase orders for the shares. Shares of the Fund are offered to the public on a continuous basis. The Distributor is compensated for its services to the Trust under a written agreement for such services.  The Distributor is an affiliate of Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC. Robert G. Dorsey and Mark J. Seger are each Managing Directors of the Distributor and serve as a Trustee and officer, respectively, of the Trust.

23

By its terms, the Distribution Agreement is for an initial term of two years and will continue in effect year-to-year thereafter so long as such continuance is approved at least annually by (1) the Board or (2) a vote of the majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting shares; provided that in either event continuance is also approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees, by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting such approval. The Distribution Agreement may be terminated at any time, on sixty days written notice, without payment of any penalty, by the Trust or by the Distributor. The Distribution Agreement automatically terminates in the event of its assignment, as defined by the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. Under the Distribution Agreement, the Distributor is paid $6,000 per annum for its services by the Fund.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Description of Shares

The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board to divide shares into series, each series relating to a separate portfolio of investments, and to further divide shares of a series into separate classes. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Trust or an individual series or class, shareholders of a particular series or class would be entitled to receive the assets available for distribution belonging to such series or class. Shareholders of a series or class are entitled to participate equally in the net distributable assets of the particular series or class involved on liquidation, based on the number of shares of the series or class that are held by each shareholder. If any assets, income, earnings, proceeds, funds or payments are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular series or class, the Trustees shall allocate them among any one or more series or classes as they, in their sole discretion, deem fair and equitable. Subject to the Declaration of Trust, determinations by the Board as to the allocation of liabilities, and the allocable portion of any general assets, with respect to the Fund and each Fund class is conclusive.

Shares of the Fund, when issued, are fully paid and non-assessable. Shares have no subscription, preemptive or conversion rights. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights.  Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held and a fractional vote for each fractional share held. Shareholders of all series and classes of the Trust, including the Fund, will vote together and not separately, except as otherwise required by law or when the Board determines that the matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a particular series or class. Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act provides, in substance, that any matter required to be submitted to the holders of the outstanding voting securities of an investment company such as the Trust shall not be deemed to have been effectively acted upon unless approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of each series or class affected by the matter. A series or class is affected by a matter unless it is clear that the interests of each series or class in the matter are substantially identical or that the matter does not affect any interest of the series or class. Under Rule 18f-2, the approval of an investment advisory agreement, a distribution plan or any change in a fundamental investment policy would be effectively acted upon with respect to a series or class only if approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of such series or class. However, the Rule also provides that the ratification of the appointment of independent accountants and the election of Trustees may be effectively acted upon by shareholders of the Trust voting together, without regard to a particular series or class.

26

Trustee Liability

The Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees of the Trust will not be liable in any event in connection with the affairs of the Trust, except as such liability may arise from his or her own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of their duties to the Trust and its holders of beneficial interest. It also provides that all third parties shall look solely to the Trust’s property for satisfaction of claims arising in connection with the affairs of the Trust.  With the exceptions stated, the Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee or officer is entitled to be indemnified against all liability in connection with the affairs of the Trust.

Trust Liability

Under Ohio law, liabilities of the Trust to third persons, including the liabilities of any series, extend to the whole of the trust estate to the extent necessary to discharge such liabilities.   However, the Declaration of Trust contains provisions intended to limit the liabilities of each series to the applicable series and the Trustees and officers of the Trust intend that notice of such limitation be given in each contract, instrument, certificate, or undertaking made or issued on behalf of the Trust by the Trustees or officers. There is no guarantee that the foregoing steps will prove effective or that the Trust will be successful in preventing the assets of one series from being available to creditors of another series.

Code of Ethics

The Trust, the Adviser and the Distributor have each adopted a Code of Ethics that is designed to prevent personnel of the Trust, the Adviser and the Distributor subject to the Codes of Ethics from engaging in deceptive, manipulative, or fraudulent activities in connection with securities held or to be acquired by the Fund (which securities may also be held by persons subject to the Codes of Ethics). These Codes of Ethics permit personnel subject to the Codes of Ethics to invest in securities, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund, but prohibit such personnel from engaging in personal investment activities which compete with or attempt to take advantage of the Fund’s planned portfolio transactions.  Each of these parties monitors compliance with its Code of Ethics.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

The Trust and the Adviser have adopted Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures that describe how the Fund intends to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities. The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of the Trust and the Adviser are attached to this Statement of Additional Information as Appendix B and Appendix C, respectively. No later than August 31 st of each year, information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the prior twelve-month period ended June 30 th is available without charge upon request by calling 1-855-691-5288, or on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

27

Ownership of Fund Shares

As of 30 days prior to the date of this SAI, the Fund had no shares outstanding. Therefore, the Board members and officers as a group owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Policy

The Board has adopted a policy to govern the circumstances under which disclosure regarding securities purchased, sold and held by the Fund (“Portfolio Securities”) may be made to shareholders of the Fund or other persons. The Trust’s CCO is responsible for monitoring the use and disclosure of information relating to Portfolio Securities. Although no material conflicts of interest are believed to exist that could disadvantage the Fund or its shareholders, various safeguards have been implemented to protect the Fund and its shareholders from conflicts of interest, including: the adoption of Codes of Ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act designed to prevent fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative acts by officers and employees of the Trust, the Adviser and the Distributor in connection with their personal securities transactions; the adoption by the Adviser and the Distributor of insider trading policies and procedures designed to prevent their employees’ misuse of material non-public information; and the adoption by the Trust of a Code of Ethics for Officers that requires the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Trust to report to the Board any affiliations or other relationships that could potentially create a conflict of interest with the Fund.

· Public disclosure regarding Portfolio Securities is made in the Fund’s Annual Reports and Semi-Annual Reports to shareholders, and in quarterly holdings reports on Form N-Q (“Official Reports”), which are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Except for such Official Reports and as otherwise expressly permitted by the Trust’s policy, shareholders and other persons may not be provided with information regarding Portfolio Securities held, purchased or sold by the Fund.

· Information regarding Portfolio Securities and other information regarding the investment activities of the Fund, may be disclosed to rating and ranking organizations for use in connection with their rating or ranking of the Fund, but only if such disclosure is approved and monitored by the Trust’s CCO. Each disclosure arrangement has been authorized by the Fund and/or the Adviser in accordance with the Fund’s disclosure of portfolio holdings policy upon a determination that this disclosure serves a legitimate business purpose of the Fund and that each organization is subject to a duty of confidentiality.
 
· Information regarding the general market exposure of the Fund may be disclosed, if such information is also disclosed on the Fund’s website and the information does not identify specific Portfolio Securities.

28

· The Trust’s CCO may approve the disclosure of holdings of or transactions in Portfolio Securities that is made on the same basis to all shareholders of the Fund.
 
· The Fund’s policy relating to disclosure of holdings of Portfolio Securities does not prohibit disclosure of information to the Adviser or to other Trust service providers, including the Trust’s administrator, distributor, custodian, legal counsel, accountants and printers/typesetters, or to brokers and dealers through which the Fund purchases and sells Portfolio Securities. Below is a table that lists each service provider that may receive non-public portfolio information along with information regarding the frequency of access to, and limitations on use of, portfolio information.

Such disclosures may be made without approval of the Trust’s CCO because the Board has determined that the Fund and its shareholders are adequately protected by the restrictions on use in those instances listed above.
 
· The Trust’s CCO may approve other arrangements under which information relating to Portfolio Securities held by the Fund, or purchased or sold by the Fund (other than information contained in Official Reports), may be disclosed. The CCO shall approve such an arrangement only if he or she concludes (based on a consideration of the information to be disclosed, the timing of the disclosure, the intended use of the information and other relevant factors) that the arrangement is reasonably necessary to aid in conducting the ongoing business of the Trust and is unlikely to affect adversely the Fund or any shareholder of the Fund. The CCO must inform the Board of any such arrangements that are approved by the CCO, and the rationale supporting approval, at the next regular quarterly meeting of the Board following such approval.
 
29

· Neither the Adviser or the Trust (or any affiliated person, employee, officer, trustee or director of the Adviser or the Trust) may receive any direct or indirect compensation in consideration of the disclosure of information relating to Portfolio Securities held, purchased, or sold by the Fund.
 
Other Expenses.

In addition to the investment advisory fees, the Fund pays all expenses not expressly assumed by the Adviser, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its independent registered public accounting firm and of its legal counsel; fees of its administrator, distributor and transfer agent, the costs of printing and mailing to shareholders annual and semi-annual reports, proxy statements, prospectuses, SAIs and supplements thereto; bank transaction charges and custody fees; any costs associated with shareholder meetings, including proxy solicitors’ fees and expenses; registration and filing fees; federal, state or local income or other taxes; interest; membership fees of the Investment Company Institute and similar organizations; fidelity bond and liability insurance premiums; and any extraordinary expenses, such as indemnification payments or damages awarded in litigation or settlements made.

ADDITIONAL TAX INFORMATION

The following summarizes certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders that are not described in the Prospectus.  No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders.  The discussions here and in the Prospectus are not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning and are based on tax laws and regulations that are in effect on the date hereof; such laws and regulations may be changed by legislative, judicial, or administrative action.  Investors are advised to consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations.

The Fund intends to qualify and remain qualified as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code.  In order to so qualify, the Fund must elect to be a regulated investment company or have made such an election for a previous year and must satisfy certain requirements relating to the amount of distributions and source of its income for a taxable year.  At least 90% of the gross income of the Fund must be derived from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stocks, securities, or foreign currencies, and other income derived with respect to the Fund’s business of investing in such stock, securities, or currencies, and net income derived from an investment in a “qualified publicly traded partnership” as defined in section 851(h) of the Code (the “source-of-income test”).  Any income derived by the Fund from a partnership (other than a “qualified publicly traded partnership”) or trust is treated as derived with respect to the Fund’s business of investing in stock, securities, or currencies only to the extent that such income is attributable to items of income that would have been qualifying income if realized by the Fund in the same manner as by the partnership or trust.

30

The Fund may not qualify as a regulated investment company for any taxable year unless it satisfies certain requirements with respect to the diversification of its investments at the close of each quarter of the taxable year (the “asset diversification tests”).  In general, at least 50% of the value of the Fund’s total assets must be represented by cash, cash items, government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities which, with respect to any one issuer, do not represent more than 5% of the total assets of the Fund nor more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer.  In addition, not more than 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in the securities (other than government securities or the securities of other regulated investment companies) of any one issuer; the securities of two or more issuers (other than securities of another regulated investment company) if the issuers are controlled by the Fund and they are, pursuant to Treasury Regulations, engaged in the same or similar or related trades or businesses; or the securities of one or more publicly traded partnerships.

The Fund intends to satisfy all of the requirements of the source-of-income test and the asset diversification tests on an ongoing basis for continued qualification as a regulated investment company.

There is a remedy for failure to satisfy the asset diversification tests, if the failure was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, subject to certain divestiture and procedural requirements and the payment of a tax.  If the failure of the asset diversification test was de minimis, the remedy would require corrective action but no payment of a tax.  There is also a remedy for failure of the source-of-income test, if the failure was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, subject to certain procedural requirements and the payment of a tax.

Under current tax law, qualifying corporate dividends are taxable at long-term capital gains tax rates.  The long-term capital gains rate for individual taxpayers is currently at a maximum rate of 20%, with lower rates potentially applicable to taxpayers depending on their income levels.  For 2015, individual taxpayers with taxable incomes above $413,200 ($464,850 for married taxpayers filing jointly and $439,000 for heads of households) are subject to a 20% rate of tax on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends.  Taxpayers that are not in the highest tax bracket and are subject to the 25% (or greater) tax bracket on their ordinary income and whose taxable income is less than the above-mentioned thresholds will continue to be subject to a maximum 15% rate of tax on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends.  For taxpayers whose ordinary income is generally taxed at less than the 25% rate, the long-term capital gains rate and rate on qualified dividends will be 0%.  These rates may change over time.

If the Fund designates a dividend as a capital gains distribution, it generally will be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long the shareholders have held their Fund shares or whether the dividend was received in cash or reinvested in additional shares.  All taxable dividends paid by the Fund other than those designated as qualified dividend income or capital gains distributions will be taxable as ordinary income to shareholders, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares.  To the extent the Fund engages in increased portfolio turnover, short-term capital gains may be realized, and any distribution resulting from such gains will be considered ordinary income for federal tax purposes.

31

Shareholders who hold Fund shares in a tax-deferred account, such as a retirement plan, generally will not have to pay tax on Fund distributions until they receive distributions from their account.

The Fund will designate (1) any distribution that constitutes a qualified dividend as qualified dividend income; (2) any tax-exempt distribution as an exempt-interest dividend; (3) any distribution of long-term capital gains as a capital gain dividend; and (4) any dividend eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction as such in a written notice provided to shareholders after the close of the Fund’s taxable year.  Shareholders should note that, upon the sale or exchange of Fund shares, if the shareholder has not held such shares for at least six months, any loss on the sale or exchange of those shares will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of the capital gain dividends received with respect to the shares.

Foreign currency gains or losses on non-U.S. dollar denominated bonds and other similar debt instruments and on any non-U.S. dollar denominated futures contracts, options and forward contracts that are not Section 1256 Contracts generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss.

To the extent that a distribution from the Fund is taxable, it is generally included in a shareholder’s gross income for the taxable year in which the shareholder receives the distribution.  However, if the Fund declares a dividend in October, November, or December but pays it in January, it will be taxable to shareholders as if the dividend was received in the year it was declared.  Every year, each shareholder will receive a statement detailing the tax status of any Fund distributions for that year.

The Fund’s net realized capital gains from securities transactions will be distributed only after reducing such gains by the amount of any available capital loss carryforwards.  Capital losses may be carried forward to offset any capital gains.

A 4% nondeductible excise tax is imposed on regulated investment companies that fail to currently distribute an amount equal to specified percentages of their ordinary taxable income and capital gain net income (excess of capital gains over capital losses). The Fund intends to make sufficient distributions or deemed distributions of its ordinary taxable income and any capital gain net income prior to the end of each calendar year to avoid liability for this excise tax.

If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify for the special federal income tax treatment afforded regulated investment companies, all of its taxable income will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates (without any deduction for distributions to its shareholders).  Such distributions will be taxable to the shareholders as dividends to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Such distributions may be eligible for (i) the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders or (ii) treatment as “qualified dividend income” in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
 
32

In general, a shareholder who sells or redeems shares will realize a capital gain or loss, which will be long-term or short-term depending upon the shareholder’s holding period for Fund shares.  An exchange of shares is treated as a sale and any gain may be subject to tax.

The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury a percentage (currently 28%) of taxable dividends or of gross proceeds realized upon sale paid to shareholders who have failed to provide a correct taxpayer identification number in the manner required, who are subject to withholding by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for failure to include properly on their return payments of taxable interest or dividends, or who have failed to certify to the Fund that they are not subject to backup withholding when required to do so, or that they are “exempt recipients.”

Depending upon the extent of the Fund’s activities in states and localities in which its offices are maintained, in which its agents or independent contractors are located, or in which it is otherwise deemed to be conducting business, the Fund may be subject to the tax laws of such states or localities.  In addition, in those states and localities that have income tax laws, the treatment of the Fund and its shareholders under such laws may differ from their treatment under federal income tax laws.

Certain U.S. shareholders, including individuals and estates and trusts, will be subject to an additional 3.8% Medicare tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which should include dividends from the Fund and net gains from the disposition of shares of the Fund.  U.S. shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of the additional Medicare tax resulting from an investment in the Fund.

The Fund will send shareholders information each year on the tax status of dividends and distributions.  A dividend or capital gains distribution paid shortly after shares have been purchased, although in effect a return of investment, is subject to federal income taxation.  Dividends from net investment income, along with capital gains, will be taxable to shareholders, whether received in cash or reinvested in Fund shares and no matter how long the shareholder has held Fund shares, even if they reduce the NAV of shares below the shareholder’s cost, and thus, in effect, result in a return of a part of the shareholder’s investment.

Under sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, known as Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund is required to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of 30% on payments of taxable dividends and, from January 1, 2017, redemption proceeds and certain capital gain dividends, made to certain non-U.S. entities that fail to comply (or be deemed compliant) with the extensive reporting and withholding requirements under FATCA designed to inform the U.S. Treasury of certain U.S. owned foreign assets and accounts.  Shareholders may be requested to provide additional information to the Fund to enable it to determine whether FATCA withholding is required.  The Fund will disclose the information that it receives from (or concerning) its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA, related intergovernmental agreements or other applicable law or regulation.  Each prospective investor is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the applicability of FATCA and any other reporting requirements with respect to the prospective investor’s own situation, including investments through an intermediary.

APPENDIX B

ULTIMUS MANAGERS TRUST
PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

1. PURPOSE; DELEGATION

The purpose of this memorandum is to describe the policies and procedures for voting proxies received from issuers whose securities are held by each series (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) of Ultimus Managers Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) believes that each Fund’s Investment Adviser is in the best position to make individual voting decisions for such Fund. Therefore, subject to the oversight of the Board, each Fund’s Investment Adviser is hereby delegated the duty to make proxy voting decisions for such Fund, and to implement and undertake such other duties as set forth in, and consistent with, these Policies and Procedures.

2. DEFINITIONS

Proxy . A proxy permits a shareholder to vote without being present at annual or special meetings. A proxy is the form whereby a person who is eligible to vote on corporate matters transmits written instructions for voting or transfers the right to vote to another person in place of the eligible voter. Proxies are generally solicited by management, but may be solicited by dissident shareholders opposed to management’s policies or strategies.
 
Proxy Manager. Proxy manager, as used herein, refers to the individual, individuals or committee of individuals appointed by the investment advisers to each Fund (each, an “Investment Adviser”) as being responsible for supervising and implementing these Policies and Procedures.

3. POLICY FOR VOTING PROXIES RELATED TO EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS AND OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

Pursuant to Section 12(d)(1)(E)(iii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, all proxies from Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) or other Investment Companies voted by a Fund, registered in the name of the Fund, will have the following voting instructions typed on the proxy form: “Vote these shares in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such shares. The beneficial owner of these shares is a registered investment company.”

4. POLICY FOR VOTING PROXIES RELATED TO OTHER PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Fiduciary Considerations . Proxies with respect to securities other than ETFs or other investment companies are voted solely in the interests of the shareholders of the Trust. Any conflict of interest must be resolved in the way that will most benefit the shareholders.

38

Management Recommendations . Since the quality and depth of management is a primary factor considered when investing in a company, the recommendation of management on any issue should be given substantial weight. The vote with respect to most issues presented in proxy statements should be cast in accordance with the position of the company’s management, unless it is determined that supporting management’s position would adversely affect the investment merits of owning the stock. However, each issue should be considered on its own merits, and the position of the company’s management should not be supported in any situation where it is found not to be in the best interests of the Trust’s shareholders.

5. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The Trust recognizes that under certain circumstances an Investment Adviser may have a conflict of interest in voting proxies on behalf of a Fund. Such circumstances may include, but are not limited to, situations where an Investment Adviser or one or more of its affiliates, including officers, directors or employees, has or is seeking a client relationship with the issuer of the security that is the subject of the proxy vote. The Investment Adviser shall periodically inform its employees that they are under an obligation to be aware of the potential for conflicts of interest on the part of the Investment Adviser with respect to voting proxies on behalf of a Fund, both as a result of the employee’s personal relationships and due to circumstances that may arise during the conduct of the Investment Adviser’s business, and to bring any conflict of interest of which they become aware to the attention of the proxy manager. With respect to securities other than ETFs or other investment companies, the Investment Adviser shall not vote proxies relating to such issuers on behalf of a Fund until it has determined that the conflict of interest is not material or a method of resolving such conflict of interest has been determined in the manner described below. A conflict of interest will be considered material to the extent that it is determined that such conflict has the potential to influence the Investment Adviser’s decision-making in voting a proxy. Materiality determinations will be based upon an assessment of the particular facts and circumstances. If the proxy manager determines that a conflict of interest is not material, the Investment Adviser may vote proxies notwithstanding the existence of a conflict. If the conflict of interest is determined to be material, either (i) the conflict shall be disclosed to the Trust’s Committee of Independent Trustees (the “Committee”) and the Investment Adviser shall follow the instructions of the Committee or (ii) the Investment Adviser shall vote the issue in question based upon the recommendation of an independent third party under a contractual arrangement approved by the Committee. The proxy manager shall keep a record of all materiality decisions and report them to the Committee on an annual basis.

6. ROUTINE PROPOSALS

Proxies for routine proposals (such as election of directors, selection of independent public accountants, stock splits and increases in capital stock) with respect to securities other than ETFs or other investment companies should generally be voted in favor of management.

39

7. PROXY MANAGER APPROVAL

Votes on non-routine matters and votes against a management’s recommendations with respect to securities other than ETFs or other investment companies are subject to approval by the proxy manager.

8. PROXY VOTING PROCEDURES

Proxy voting will be conducted in compliance with the policies and practices described herein and is subject to the proxy manager’s supervision. A reasonable effort should be made to obtain proxy material and to vote in a timely fashion. Each Investment Adviser shall maintain records regarding the voting of proxies under these Policies and Procedures.

9. FORM N-PX

A record of each proxy vote will be entered on Form N-PX. A copy of each Form N-PX will be signed by the President of the Trust. The Form is to be filed by August 31 each year. Each reporting period covered by the Form N-PX runs from July 1 to June 30. The Trust will disclose in its annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders and in its registration statement (in the SAI) filed with the SEC on or after August 31 that each Fund’s proxy voting record for the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30 is available without charge upon request and is also available on the SEC’s Website at www.sec.gov .

10. INVESTMENT ADVISERS’ VOTING PROCEDURES

The Trust acknowledges that the Investment Advisers to the various Funds have adopted voting policies and procedures for their clients that have been delivered to the Trust. To the extent that an Investment Adviser’s policies and procedures are consistent with these Policies and Procedures, the Investment Adviser may implement them with respect to voting proxies on behalf of each Fund managed by such Investment Adviser. However, the provisions of paragraph 5 of these Policies and Procedures relating to conflicts of interest shall supersede any comparable provisions of any Investment Adviser’s policies and procedures.
 
40

APPENDIX C

MARSHFIELD ASSOCIATES, INC.

Proxy Voting Policy

I. Policy

We vote client proxies in a manner solely in the interest of the client. We consider only those factors that relate to the client's investment, including how a vote will economically impact and affect the value of the client's investment. Proxy votes generally will be cast in favor of proposals that maintain or strengthen the shared interests of shareholders and management, increase shareholder value, maintain or increase shareholder influence over the issuer's board of directors and management, and maintain or increase the rights of shareholders; proxy votes generally will be cast against proposals having the opposite effect. In voting on each and every issue, the Company and its employees shall vote in a prudent and diligent fashion and only after a careful evaluation of the issue presented on the ballot.

We use the services of ISS ProxyExchange (“ISS”), a third party proxy voting service, to assist in our proxy voting process. We look to ISS to provide it with governance analytics, and frequently, though not always, vote in accordance with the recommendations of ISS. 1   We may also, upon client request, look to the Taft-Hartley recommendations provided by ISS in voting client proxies.  We do not substitute these recommendations for our own judgment, however, and will (unless requested otherwise by a client) make our own independent assessment of the maximization of shareholder value and the best interests of our clients when voting proxies.

1. Marshfield Proxies

Typically Marshfield only votes proxies for clients where we are contractually obligated to vote on their behalf, these clients are listed in Appendix A. When there is an issue that Marshfield feels strongly about, we will exercise our ability to vote proxies for all clients where we have the discretion. Chad Goldberg is the Proxy Manager responsible for directing how the proxies should be cast for Marshfield.

2. ERISA Account Proxies

In considering votes for ERISA accounts (“Plans”), we recognize that:

(a) Plan trustees are ordinarily responsible for voting proxies, unless the Plan documents direct Marshfield to vote the proxies.
 
(b) If we are directed to vote proxies, voting may be subject to specific guidelines issued by the Plan’s trustees.

3. Mutual Fund Proxies


1 The ISS Guidelines, as amended from time to time, are available upon request.

41

The Mutual Funds Advisors will vote proxies in a manner consistent with the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. John Beatson is responsible for casting all proxies received for Bushido MF and Chad Goldberg is responsible for casting all proxies received for Marshfield MF.

II. The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures are supervised by the Proxy Voting Manager(s) and executed under the direction of a Proxy Voting Coordinator. The Proxy Voting Coordinator is responsible for executing the Proxy Voting Procedures on behalf of each client, or delegating such authority to another employee, subject to the supervision of the Proxy Voting Coordinator.  Proxy Voting Procedure

1. All proxies received for the Advisors will be sent to the appropriate proxy voting manager. If a proxy notification is received via Governance Analytics:
i. The Proxy Voting Coordinator will log into the Governance Analytics system, and print the security-holder report to ascertain which clients hold the security in question.

ii. The Proxy Voting Coordinator will then reconcile that report against a Security Cross Reference Report printed from Axys, to verify that the information from Governance Analytics is correct as of the record date.  Any corrections will be made by the Proxy Voting Coordinator as necessary.
 
iii. The Proxy Voting Coordinator will provide the voting information, any relevant research, recommendations from Governance Analytics, and any relevant client instructions or recommendations to the Voting Manager.
 
2. Absent any material conflicts, the Proxy Voting Manager will first determine if the firm wants to only vote proxies where required by the client or for all accounts where we have discretion to do so.

3. The proxy manager will alert compliance as to whether we only voted where required by the client or if for all clients where we have the discretion to vote proxies, if we voted with or against an ISS recommendation and why if against the recommendation.  This information will be maintained in a file on the share drive.

4. Resolution of Conflicts Of Interest
Material conflict of interest between the interests of the Advisors or affiliates, Trust’s principal underwriter, affiliated person of the Mutual Funds, or a principal underwriter the advisors shall resolve such conflict in the manner described below:

a. The advisors will identify any conflicts that exist between the interests of the advisor and client, by reviewing the relationship of the firm with the issuer of each security to determine if the firm or any of its employees/affiliates has any financial, business or personal relationship with the issuer.
 
42

b. If material conflict of interest exists, the CCO will be notified.  In the case of MA,-the Voting Manager (or Proxy Voting Coordinator) will refer the vote back to the client, disclosing the conflict of interest.  The Voting Manager will then vote the proxy according to the direction of the client.  For the Mutual Funds, the CCO shall promptly notify the Mutual Funds Trusts of any material conflict of best interest of the Mutual Funds and its shareholders.  Consultation with outside counsel may be sought.
c. The advisors will maintain a record of the voting resolution as well as any conflict of interest.

III. Reports

1. Marshfield

Unless otherwise requested by a client, and agreed to by us, records of proxy votes will only be transmitted to clients upon their request.  Such requests must be made in writing, and will be answered within 5 business days of any such request.  In some cases we will agree to provide quarterly, bi-annual, or annual reports of proxy voting, as requested by a client.

2. Bushido / Marshfield Mutual Funds

Annually, the Mutual Funds will provide to the Mutual Funds Trusts Boards a record of each proxy voted with respect to portfolio securities held by the Mutual Funds during the year.
i. A separate report will be provided for proxies involving conflict of interest; indicating the nature of the conflict, and how the conflict was resolved.

IV. Annual Filing

Annually, in July, the proxy coordinator shall generate a report of each proxy voted with respect to portfolio securities held in the Mutual Funds during the twelve-month period ending June 30, and forward to the appropriate Fund Administrators.  .

US Bank, on behalf of Bushido MF, and Ultimus, on behalf of Marshfield MF shall file an annual proxy votes cast on Form N-PX, no later than August 31 of each year.

V. Review of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures
 
A. On a regular basis, the Proxy Voting Coordinator will verify that proxies held by the advisors, that are instructed to be voted, have been voted.  The coordinator may, in addition, verify that individual votes were processed according to the Voting Manager’s instructions.
 
43

B. Annually, the CCO will:
 
(i) Verify that all annual proxies for the securities held in the client accounts managed by each Advisors were voted;
 
(ii) Verify that each proxy received was voted in a manner consistent with these Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and the guidelines (if any) issued by the client (or in the case of an employee benefit plan, the plan's trustee or other fiduciaries);
 
(iii) Review any instances where errors occurred, and determine what steps, if any, may be taken to prevent similar error in the future; and
 
(iv) Review the files to verify that records of the voting of the proxies have been properly maintained.

Subject to and except as otherwise provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1940 Act, the Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees and officers, including persons who serve at the Trust's request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise (hereinafter referred to as a “ Covered Person” ) against all liabilities, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and expenses, including reasonable accountants' and counsel fees, incurred by any Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such person may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been such a Trustee or officer, director or trustee, and except that no Covered Person shall be indemnified against any liability to the Trust or its Shareholders to which such Covered Person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office.

Section 6.5    Advances of Expenses.   The Trust shall advance attorneys' fees or other expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending a proceeding to the full extent permitted by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the 1940 Act, as amended, and Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1707, as amended.  In the event any of these Federal laws conflict with Ohio Revised Code Section 1701.13(E), as amended, these Federal laws, and not Ohio Revised Code Section 1701.13(E), shall govern.

Section 6.6    Indemnification Not Exclusive, etc. The right of indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any such Covered Person may be entitled.  As used in this Article VI, “Covered Person” shall include such person's heirs, executors and administrators.  Nothing contained in this article shall affect any rights to indemnification to which personnel of the Trust, other than Trustees and officers, and other persons may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law, nor the power of the Trust to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any such person.”

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

This Investment Advisory Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into effective as of December 27, 2015, by and between ULTIMUS MANAGERS TRUST , an Ohio business trust (the “ Trust ”) on behalf of each series of the Trust set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (individually the “ Fund ” and collectively the “ Funds ”), a series of shares of the Trust, and Marshfield Associates, Inc. , a District of Columbia corporation (the “ Adviser ”).

WHEREAS , the Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “ 1940 Act ”), as an open-end management investment company, and offers for sale distinct series of shares of beneficial interest, each corresponding to a distinct portfolio, including, the Fund; and

WHEREAS , the Trust desires to avail itself of the services, information, advice, assistance and facilities of an investment adviser on behalf of the Fund, and to have that investment adviser provide or perform for the Fund various research, statistical and investment services; and

WHEREAS , the Adviser is registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“ Advisers Act ”), and engages in the business of asset management and is willing to furnish such services to the Fund on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed between the parties as follows:

1.  Employment of the Adviser.   The Trust hereby employs the Adviser to invest and reinvest the assets of the Fund in the manner set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement subject to the direction of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (“ Trustees ”) and the officers of the Trust, for the period, in the manner, and on the terms set forth hereinafter.  The Adviser hereby accepts such employment and agrees during such period to render the services and to assume the obligations herein set forth.  The Adviser shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, except as expressly provided or authorized (whether herein or otherwise), have no authority to act for or represent the Trust in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Trust.

2.   Obligations of Investment Adviser

(a)   Services .  The Adviser agrees to perform the following services (the “ Services ”) for the Trust:

(1)  manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund;

(2)  continuously review, supervise, and administer the investment program of the Fund;

(3)  determine, in its discretion, the securities to be purchased, retained or sold (and implement those decisions) with respect to the Fund;


(4)  provide the Trust and the Fund with records concerning the Adviser’s activities under this Agreement which the Trust and the Fund are required to maintain;

(5)  render regular reports to the Trust’s Trustees and officers concerning the Adviser’s discharge of the foregoing responsibilities; and

(6)  perform such other services as agreed by the Adviser and the Trust from time to time.

The Adviser shall discharge the foregoing responsibilities subject to the control of the Trustees and officers of the Trust and in compliance with (i) such policies as the Trustees may from time to time establish; (ii) the Fund’s objectives, policies, and limitations as set forth in its prospectus (“ Prospectus ”) and statement of additional information (“ Statement of Additional Information ”), as the same may be amended from time to time; and (iii) with all applicable laws and regulations.  All Services to be furnished by the Adviser under this Agreement may be furnished through the medium of any directors, officers or employees of the Adviser or through such other parties as the Adviser may determine from time to time.

(b)  Expenses and Personnel .  The Adviser agrees, at its own expense or at the expense of one or more of its affiliates, to render the Services and to provide the office space, furnishings, equipment and personnel as may be reasonably required in the judgment of the Trustees and officers of the Trust to perform the Services on the terms and for the compensation provided herein.  The Adviser shall authorize and permit any of its officers, directors and employees, who may be elected as Trustees or officers of the Trust, to serve in the capacities in which they are elected.  Except to the extent expressly assumed by the Adviser herein and except to the extent required by law to be paid by the Adviser, the Trust shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with its operation.

(c)  Books and Records .  All books and records prepared and maintained by the Adviser for the Trust and the Fund under this Agreement shall be the property of the Trust and the Fund and, upon request therefor, the Adviser shall surrender to the Trust and the Fund such of the books and records so requested.

3.  Fund Transactions .  The Adviser is authorized to select the brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Fund.  With respect to brokerage selection, the Adviser shall seek to obtain the best overall execution for Fund transactions, which is a combination of price, quality of execution and other factors.  The Adviser may, in its discretion, purchase and sell portfolio securities from and to brokers and dealers who provide the Adviser with brokerage, research, analysis, advice and similar services, and the Adviser may pay to these brokers and dealers, in return for such services, a higher commission or spread than may be charged by other brokers and dealers, provided that the Adviser determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in terms either of that particular transaction or of the overall responsibility of the Adviser to the Fund and its other clients and that the total commission paid by the Fund will be reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund and its other clients over the long-term.  The Adviser will promptly communicate to the Trustees and the officers of the Trust such information relating to portfolio transactions as they may reasonably request.

2

4.  Compensation of the Adviser .  As compensation for the services that the Adviser is to provide or cause to be provided pursuant to Paragraph 2, the Fund shall pay to the Adviser an annual fee, computed and accrued daily and paid in arrears monthly, at the rate set forth on Schedule A, which shall be a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund (computed in the manner set forth in the Fund’s most recent Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month.  If the Adviser shall so request in writing, with the approval of the Trustees, some or all of such fee shall be paid directly to a sub-adviser.  The fee for any partial month under this Agreement shall be calculated on a proportionate basis.

5.  Status of Investment Adviser .  The services of the Adviser to the Trust and the Fund are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Adviser shall be free to render similar services to others so long as its Services to the Trust and the Fund are not impaired thereby.  The Adviser shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Trust or the Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Trust or the Fund.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer or employee of the Adviser, who may also be a trustee, officer or employee of the Trust, to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature.

6.  Permissible Interests .  Trustees, agents, and stockholders of the Trust are or may be interested in the Adviser (or any successor thereof) as directors, partners, officers, or stockholders, or otherwise; and directors, partners, officers, agents, and stockholders of the Adviser are or may be interested in the Trust as Trustees, stockholders or otherwise; and the Adviser (or any successor) is or may be interested in the Trust as a stockholder or otherwise.

7.  Limits of Liability; Indemnification .  The Adviser assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the Services called for hereunder.  The Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any loss suffered by the Trust or the Fund in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to receipt of compensation for services (in which case any award of damages shall be limited to the period and the amount set forth in Section 36(b)(3) of the Act) or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard on its part in the performance of, or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under, this Agreement.  It is agreed that the Adviser shall have no responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness of the Trust’s registration statement under the Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), except for information supplied by the Adviser for inclusion therein.  The Trust agrees to indemnify the Adviser to the full extent permitted by the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, a copy of which is on file with the Secretary of the State of Ohio.  Notice is hereby given that this instrument is executed on behalf of the Trustees and not individually and that the obligations of this instrument are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Trust (or if the matter relates only to a particular Fund, that Fund), and the Adviser shall look only to the assets of the Trust, or the particular Fund, for the satisfaction of such obligations or any liability arising in connection therewith, and no other series of the Trust shall incur any liability or obligation in connection therewith.

3

8.  Term.   This Agreement shall remain in effect for an initial term of two years from the date hereof, and from year to year thereafter provided such continuance is approved at least annually by the vote of a majority of the trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust, which vote must be cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval; provided , however , that:

(a)   the Trust may, at any time and without the payment of any penalty, terminate this Agreement upon 60 days written notice of a decision to terminate this Agreement by (i) the Trustees; or (ii) the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund;

(b)   the Agreement shall immediately terminate in the event of its assignment (within the meaning of the Act and the Rules thereunder);

(c)  the Adviser may, at any time and without the payment of any penalty, terminate this Agreement upon 60 days written notice to the Trust and the Fund; and

(d)  the terms of paragraph 7 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.  Amendments .  No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, and no amendment of this Agreement shall be effective until approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities.

10.  Applicable Law .  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the substantive laws of the State of Ohio without regard to the principles of the conflict of laws or the choice of laws.

11.  Representations and Warranties .

(a)  Representations and Warranties of the Adviser .  The Adviser hereby represents and warrants to the Trust as follows: (i) the Adviser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the District of Columbia and is fully authorized to enter into this Agreement and carry out its duties and obligations hereunder; and (ii) the Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Advisers Act, and shall maintain such registration in effect at all times during the term of this Agreement.

12.  Structure of Agreement .  The Trust is entering into this Agreement solely on behalf of the Fund or Funds named herein individually and not jointly.  Notwithstanding any to the contrary in this Agreement, no breach of any term of this Agreement shall create a right or obligation with respect to any series of the Trust other than the Fund; (b) under no circumstances shall the Adviser have the right to set off claims relating to the Fund by applying property of any other series of the Trust; and (c) the business and contractual relationships created by this Agreement, consideration for entering into this Agreement, and the consequences of such relationship and consideration relate solely to the Trust and the Fund.

13.  Compliance Procedures .  The Adviser will, in accordance with Rule 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act, adopt and implement written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Advisers Act and will provide the Trust with copies of such written policies and procedures upon request.

14.  Severability .  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and, to this extent, the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be severable.

15 .   Notice.  Notices of any kind to be given to the Trust hereunder by the Adviser shall be in writing and shall be duly given if mailed or delivered to the Ultimus Managers Trust at 225 Pictoria Drive, Suite 450, Cincinnati, Ohio 45246, Attention: Director of Fund Administration, or to such other address or to such individual as shall be so specified by the Trust to the Adviser.  Notices of any kind to be given to the Adviser hereunder by the Trust shall be in writing and shall be duly given if mailed or delivered to Christopher M.

2. SUBCONTRACTING.

Ultimus may, at its expense, subcontract with any entity or person concerning the provision of the services contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that Ultimus shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by the appointment of such subcontractor and provided further, that Ultimus shall be responsible, to the extent provided in Section 7 hereof, for all acts of such subcontractor as if such acts were its own.

3. ALLOCATION OF CHARGES AND EXPENSES.

Ultimus shall furnish at its own expense the executive, supervisory and clerical personnel necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement.  Ultimus shall also pay all compensation, if any, of officers of the Trust who are affiliated persons of Ultimus, except when such person is serving as the Trust’s chief compliance officer.

The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, assumes and shall pay or cause to be paid all other expenses of the Trust or a Fund not otherwise allocated herein, including, without limitation, organization costs, taxes, expenses for legal and auditing services, the expenses of preparing (including typesetting), printing and mailing reports, prospectuses, statements of additional information, proxy statements and related materials, all expenses incurred in connection with issuing and redeeming shares, the costs of custodial services, the cost of initial and ongoing registration and/or qualification of the shares under federal and state securities laws, fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Trustees who are not affiliated persons of Ultimus or the investment adviser(s) to the Trust, insurance premiums, interest, brokerage costs, litigation and other extraordinary or nonrecurring expenses, and all fees and charges of investment advisers to the Trust.

4. COMPENSATION OF ULTIMUS.

For the services to be rendered, the facilities furnished and the expenses assumed by Ultimus pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust , on behalf of each Fund, shall pay to Ultimus compensation at an annual rate specified in Schedule B attached hereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time.  Such compensation shall be calculated and accrued daily, and paid to Ultimus monthly.  The Trust shall also reimburse Ultimus for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including but not limited to the travel and lodging expenses incurred by officers and employees of Ultimus in connection with attendance at meetings of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

If this Agreement becomes effective subsequent to the first day of a month or terminates before the last day of a month, Ultimus’ compensation for that part of the month in which this Agreement is in effect shall be prorated in a manner consistent with the calculation of the fees as set forth above.  Payment of Ultimus’ compensation for the preceding month shall be made promptly.

5. EFFECTIVE DATE.

This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above with respect to each Fund in existence on such date (or, if a particular Fund is not in existence on that date, on the date such Fund commences operation) (the “Effective Date”).

6. TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.

The term of this Agreement shall continue in effect, unless earlier terminated by either party hereto as provided hereunder, for a period of two years from the date first written above.  Thereafter, unless otherwise terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall be renewed automatically for successive one-year periods.

3

This Agreement may be terminated with respect to any Fund without penalty for “cause” (as defined herein) upon the provision of thirty (30) days’ advance written notice by the party alleging cause.  After the initial two-year term, this Agreement may also be terminated with respect to any Fund without penalty by provision of sixty (60) days’ written notice.

For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” shall mean: (i) a material breach of this Agreement that has not been remedied within thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party, (ii) a series of negligent acts or omissions or breaches of this Agreement which, in the aggregate, constitute in the reasonable judgment of the Trust, a serious failure to perform satisfactorily Ultimus’ obligations hereunder; (iii) a final, unappealable judicial, regulatory or administrative ruling or order in which the party to be terminated has been found guilty of criminal or unethical behavior in the conduct of its business; or (iv) financial difficulties on the part of the party to be terminated which are evidenced by the authorization or commencement of, or involvement by way of pleading, answer, consent or acquiescence in, a voluntary or involuntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code, as from time to time is in effect, or any applicable law, other than said Title 11, of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or reorganization of debtors or the modification or alteration of the rights of creditors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, after such termination for so long as Ultimus, with the written consent of the Trust, in fact continues to perform any one or more of the services contemplated by this Agreement or any schedule or exhibit hereto, the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions dealing with indemnification, shall continue in full force and effect.  Compensation due Ultimus and unpaid by the Trust upon such termination shall be immediately due and payable upon and notwithstanding such termination.  Following any such termination, Ultimus agrees to cooperate with any reasonable request of the Trust to effect a prompt transition to a new administrative service provider selected by the Trust.  Ultimus shall be entitled to collect from the Trust, in addition to the compensation described in Schedule B, the amount of all of Ultimus’ cash disbursements reasonably made for services in connection with Ultimus’ activities in effecting such termination, including without limitation, the delivery to the Trust and/or its designees of the Trust’s property, records, instruments and documents.

7. STANDARD OF CARE.

The duties of Ultimus shall be confined to those expressly set forth herein, and no implied duties are assumed by or may be asserted against Ultimus hereunder.  Ultimus shall use its best efforts in the performance of its duties hereunder and act in good faith in performing the services provided for under this Agreement.  Ultimus shall be liable for any damages arising directly or indirectly out of Ultimus’ failure to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent such damages arise directly or indirectly out of Ultimus’ willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.  (As used in this Section 7, the term “Ultimus” shall include directors, officers, employees and other agents of Ultimus as well as Ultimus itself.)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, (i) Ultimus shall not be liable for losses beyond its reasonable control, provided that Ultimus has acted in accordance with the standard of care set forth above; and (ii) Ultimus shall not be liable for the validity or invalidity or authority or lack thereof of any instruction, notice or other instrument that Ultimus reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by a duly authorized representative of the Trust or any Fund (other than an employee or other affiliated persons of Ultimus who may otherwise be named as an authorized representative of the Trust for certain purposes).

4

Ultimus may apply to the Trust at any time for instructions and may consult with counsel for the Trust or a Fund, counsel for  the Trust’s independent Trustees, or its own counsel and with accountants and other experts with respect to any matter arising in connection with Ultimus’ duties hereunder, and Ultimus shall not be liable or accountable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such instruction or with the reasonable opinion of such counsel, accountants or other experts qualified to render such opinion.

8. INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUST.

Ultimus agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, and each person who has been, is or may hereafter be a Trustee or officer of the Trust, from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, payments, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable investigation expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) arising directly or indirectly out of the failure of Ultimus, or its directors, officers or employees, to exercise the standard of care set forth with respect to its services under this Agreement; provided, however that Ultimus shall have no obligation to indemnify or reimburse the Trust or any Fund under this Section 8 to the extent that the Trust or Fund is entitled to reimbursement or indemnification for such Losses under any liability insurance policy described in this Agreement or otherwise.

The Trust or a Fund shall not be indemnified against or held harmless from any Losses arising directly or indirectly out of the Trust’s or the Fund’s own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence.  The provisions of this paragraph 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

9. INDEMNIFICATION OF ULTIMUS.

The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Ultimus from and against any and all Losses arising directly or indirectly out of any action or omission to act which Ultimus takes (i) at any request or on the direction of or in reliance on the reasonable advice of the Trust or any Fund, (ii) upon any instruction, notice or other instrument that Ultimus reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by a duly authorized representative of the Trust or any Fund (other than an employee or other affiliated person of Ultimus who may otherwise be named as an authorized representative of the Trust for certain purposes) or (iii) on its own initiative, in good faith and in accordance with the standard of care set forth herein, in connection with the performance of its duties or obligations hereunder; provided, however that the Trust shall have no obligation to indemnify or reimburse Ultimus under this Section 9 to the extent that Ultimus is entitled to reimbursement or indemnification for such Losses under any liability insurance policy described in this Agreement or otherwise.

Ultimus shall not be indemnified against or held harmless from any Losses arising directly or indirectly out of Ultimus’ own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.

3.   This Agreement with respect to the Fund shall continue in effect until the expiration date listed in Schedule A and from year to year thereafter provided each such continuance is specifically approved by a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who (i) are not “ interested persons ” of the Trust or any other party to this Agreement, as defined in the 1940 Act, and (ii) have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Agreement (“ Non-Interested Trustees ”).  Nevertheless, this Agreement may be terminated by either party hereto, without payment of any penalty, upon written notice 90 days prior to the end of the then-current term of the Agreement to the other party at its principal place of business; provided that, in the case of termination by the Trust, such action shall be authorized by resolution of a majority of the Non-Interested Trustees of the Trust or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

I have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and certificates or comparable documents of public officials, and of officers and representatives of the Trust, and I have made such inquiries of the officers and representatives of the Trust, as I have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.

In such examination, I have assumed, without independent verification, the genuineness of all signatures (whether original or a copy) and the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or copies.

I have assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy of the relevant facts stated therein.

Code of Ethics and Insider Trading
As of September 2015

I. BACKGROUND:

The entities listed above (separately the “Adviser,” together the “Advisers”) are investment advisers registered under the Investment Adviser Act of 1940, as amended.  In such capacity, the Advisers act in a fiduciary capacity to their clients, offering services related to the management of assets.  To assist us in the delivery of these services, the Advisers employ certain procedures, systems and established practices such as those outlined below.  Employees must demonstrate honesty and fairness in all dealings and must not take inappropriate advantage of the position that is provided as an employee of an Adviser or inappropriate actions that are contrary to Federal Securities Law.

This Code of Ethics (the “Code”) has been adopted by the Advisers pursuant to Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 204A-1 thereunder, and Section 17(j) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Rule 17j-1 thereunder, (1) to set forth standards of conduct (including compliance with the federal securities laws); (2) to require reporting of personal securities transactions, including transactions in mutual funds advised by the Adviser; and (3) to require prompt reporting of violations of this Code as of the date listed above, and applies to all principals, officers, members, shareholders, employees and consultants who are Access Persons of the Advisers and any affiliated company.  The Code covers personal securities transactions by principals, officers, members, shareholders, employees consultants who are deemed Access Persons and members of their Immediate Family who share in the same household..  Each person subject to this Code will be expected to come into compliance with it within thirty (30) days of their signature of acknowledgement on Appendix A ( Code of Ethics, Initial Acknowledgement and Certification) .

These procedures are intended to provide specific rules of behavior regarding the manner by which employees of the Advisers may engage in trading of securities.  The objective is to insure that all investment opportunities are directed to our clients and not appropriated (whether intentionally or inadvertently) by employees of the Advisers. This Code will also be made part of each Adviser’s form ADV Part II, which, on an annual basis or as requested, will be made available to clients of each Adviser.

II. POLICY:

A. Definitions :

1) Affiliated Company : The Adviser and any additional entities tied to the Adviser through ownership, contract, operating agreement or other form of defined business relationship.

2) Access Person : An Access Person includes all (a) officers, principals, members and shareholders of the Adviser, and (b) employees or consultants of the Adviser who have access to non-public information regarding portfolio holdings of clients or regarding clients’ purchases or sales of securities; are involved in making securities recommendations to clients or have access to such recommendations that are non-public, or have access to non-public information regarding the portfolio holdings of affiliated mutual funds.  Thus all employees are considered Access Persons.


3) Beneficial Ownership :  Beneficial Ownership is interpreted in this Code in the same manner as it would be in determining whether a person is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), except that the determination of such ownership applies to all securities.  You should generally consider yourself the “beneficial owner” of any securities in which you have a direct or indirect pecuniary interest .
 
The term pecuniary interest under the Exchange Act is generally understood to mean having the opportunity to share, directly or indirectly, in any profit or loss on a transaction in securities.  The following are examples of a pecuniary interest in securities:
 
a. Securities held by any member of your immediate family sharing the same household; however this presumption may be rebutted by convincing evidence that profits derived from transactions in these securities will not provide you with any financial benefit.
 
b. Your interest as a general partner in securities held by a general or limited partnership
 
c. Your interest as a manager-member in the securities held by a limited liability company.
 
You do NOT have a pecuniary interest in securities held by a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or any other entity in which you hold an equity interest unless you are a controlling shareholder or you have or share investment control over the securities held by the entity.
 
The following circumstances constitute a beneficial ownership in a trust:
 
a. Your ownership of securities as a trustee where either you or members of your immediate family sharing the same household have a vested interest in the principal or income of the trust.
 
b. Your ownership of a vested interest in a trust.
 
c. Your status as a settler of a trust, unless the consent of all the beneficiaries is required for you to revoke the trust.
 
4) Client Security : A security that is held in an Adviser’s managed client portfolios.
 
5) Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) : An employee designated by the Adviser to monitor and enforce compliance with these procedures and all applicable laws.
 
6) Employees:   An ‘Employee’ or ‘employee’ includes all employees of the Adviser, except those who are hired on a temporary basis with restricted access. .
 

7) Immediate Family :  Any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, step-parent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law and includes step and adoptive relationships.
 
8) Investment Decision: The deliberation and subsequent execution of a purchase or sale of a security by an investment professional on behalf of clients of the Adviser.
 
9) Key Employee:  A Key Employee includes (a) officers, principals, members or shareholders of the Advisers and (b) employees of the Advisers who play a significant role in research or marketing, are involved in making securities recommendations to clients, or recommend the Adviser or the Advisers’ products to potential clients or Financial Advisors.  Key Employees are subject to special trading restrictions under Section D(7) of this Policy. Refer to Appendix G for a complete list of Key Employees for each Adviser.
 
10) Marshfield Core Product :  The Marshfield Core Product is its value equity management offered through separate custodial client accounts.
 
11) The Product: Affiliated Funds managed by Bushido Capital Partners and Yogi Advisors
 
12) Personal Account :
 
a) An Access Persons own portfolio or security holdings;
b) A portfolio in which an Access Person has a beneficial ownership and can influence investment decisions (see definition of beneficial ownership , above);
c) A portfolio or security holding of an Immediate Family member of an Access Person’s household; or an account over which an Access Person exercises investment discretion in a capacity other than as an Employee.
 
13) Pre-Clearance Committee: Means those Employee(s) designated by management to pre-clear personal securities transactions.

14) Reportable Securities : Are all securities, with the EXCEPTION of the following transaction and holdings:

a) Direct obligations of the Government of the United States, its states and/or municipalities
b) Money Market Instruments – bankers’ acceptance, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and other high quality short-term debt instruments.
c) Shares of Money Market Funds
d) Shares of other types of mutual funds or variable annuities, unless the Adviser or an affiliated company acts as the investment adviser or principal underwriter for the fund.
e) Actions pursuant to an automatic investment plan
f) Securities held in accounts over which the supervised person has no direct or indirect influence or control

The above exceptions are referred to as “exempt securities.”
 

B: Compliance with Laws and Regulations:
 
It is unlawful for any affiliated person of or principal underwriter for a Mutual Fund, or any affiliated person of an investment adviser of or principal underwriter for a Mutual Fund, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by the person of a security held or to be acquired by the Mutual Fund:
 
1. To employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Mutual Fund;

Insider Trading Policy
 
INSIDER TRADING POLICY: (updated 12/11/2014)
 
I. Introduction
 
The Adviser seeks to foster a reputation for integrity and professionalism. That reputation is a vital business asset.  The confidence and trust placed in us by investors in accounts managed by the Adviser is something we should value and endeavor to protect.  To further this goal, the Adviser has established the following policy and procedures designed to detect and prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic information in securities transactions.

Trading securities on the basis of material, nonpublic information or improperly communicating that information to others may expose Access Persons, and the Adviser to stringent penalties.  Criminal sanctions for individuals may include a fine of up to $5,000,000 and/or up to twenty years imprisonment.  The Securities and Exchange Commission can recover the profits gained or losses avoided through violative trading, obtain a penalty of up to three times the illicit gain or avoided losses and issue an order permanently barring persons from the securities industry.  Finally, Access Persons and the Adviser may be sued by investors seeking to recover damages for insider trading violations.

Regardless of whether a government inquiry occurs, the Adviser views seriously any violation of this policy. Such violations constitute grounds for disciplinary sanctions, including but not limited to, suspension without pay, loss of pay or bonus, loss of severance benefits, demotion or other sanctions whether or not the violation of the policy or procedure constituted a violation of the law.  Violations also may result in the referral to government authorities for possible civil or criminal prosecution.

A. Scope of the Policy

This policy is drafted broadly; it will be applied and interpreted in a similar manner. This policy applies to securities trading and information handling by all Access Persons of the Adviser, including their Immediate Family members sharing in the same household as them and extends to activities within and outside their duties at the Adviser.

The law of insider trading is unsettled; an individual legitimately may be uncertain about the application of this policy in a particular circumstance. Often, a single question can forestall disciplinary action or complex legal problems.  Any questions relating to this policy should be directed to the CCO or, in his or her absence, the Director of Operations (with subsequent reporting to the CCO).  Access Persons also must notify the CCO immediately or, in his or her absence, the Director of Operations (with subsequent reporting to the CCO) if they have any reason to believe that a violation of the policy has occurred or is about to occur.

B. Policy Statement on Insider Trading

The Adviser forbids any Access Person from (1) trading securities, either personally or on behalf of others, including for accounts in which they have a beneficial interest or accounts managed by the Adviser, on the basis material nonpublic information or (2) communicating material nonpublic information to others in violation of the law.  This conduct is frequently referred to as "insider trading."  Every Access Person must read, agree to abide by, and retain this policy (See Appendices XX and XY).  Any questions regarding the Adviser's policies and procedures should be referred to the CCO or, in his or her absence, the Director of Operations (with subsequent reporting to the CCO).


The term "insider trading" is not defined in the federal securities laws, but generally is used to refer to the use of material nonpublic information to trade in securities (whether or not one is an "insider") or to communications of material nonpublic information to others.
While the law concerning insider trading is not static, it is generally understood that the law prohibits:

1. Trading by an insider on the basis of material nonpublic information, or
 
2. Trading by a non-insider on the basis of material nonpublic information, where the information either was disclosed to the non-insider in violation of an insider's duty to keep it confidential or was misappropriated, or
 
3. Communicating material nonpublic information to others.
 
C. Who is an Insider?

The concept of "insider" is broad.  It includes officers, directors and employees of a company.  In addition, a person can be a "temporary insider" if he or she enters into a special confidential relationship in the conduct of a company's affairs and as a result is given access to information solely for the company's purposes.  A temporary insider can include, among others, a company's attorneys, accountants, consultants, bank lending officers, and the employees of such organizations. In addition, the Adviser may become a temporary insider of a company it advises or for which it performs other services.  According to the Supreme Court, the company must expect the outsider to keep the disclosed nonpublic information confidential and the relationship must at least imply such a duty before the outsider will be considered an insider.

D. What is Material Information?

Trading on insider information is not a basis for liability unless the information is material. Information is "material" when there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making his or her investment decisions.  Generally, this is information whose disclosure is reasonably certain to have a substantial effect on the price of a company's securities.  No simple "bright line" test exists to determine whether information is material; assessments of materiality involve a highly fact-specific inquiry.  For this reason, Access Persons should direct any questions about whether information is material to the CCO or, in his or her absence, the Director of Operations (with subsequent reporting to the CCO).

By way of example, material information often relates to a company’s results and operations, dividend changes, earnings results, earnings estimates or changes in previously released earnings estimates, significant increases or declines in revenue, significant merger or acquisition proposals or agreements, including tender offers, significant expansion or curtailment of operations, significant new products or discoveries, extraordinary borrowing, purchases or sales of substantial assets, major litigation, liquidation problems, severe financial liquidity problems and extraordinary management developments.

Material information does not have to relate to a company’s business but may also relate to the market for a company's securities.  Information about a significant order to purchase or sell securities, in some contexts, may be deemed material.  Similarly, prepublication information regarding reports in the financial press also may be deemed material.  For example, in Carpenter v. U.S. , 108 U.S. 316 (1987), the Supreme Court considered as material certain information about the contents of a forthcoming newspaper column that was expected to affect the market price of a security.  In that case, a Wall Street Journal reporter was found criminally liable for disclosing to others the dates that reports on various companies would appear in the Journal and whether those reports would be favorable or not.


E. Contacts with Public Companies.

For the Adviser, contacts with public companies represent a part of our research efforts.  The Adviser may make investment decisions on the basis of its conclusions formed through such contacts and analysis of publicly available information.  Difficult legal issues arise, however, when, in the course of these contacts, an Adviser Employee or other person subject to this policy statement becomes aware of material, nonpublic information.  This could happen, for example, if a company’s Chief Financial Officer prematurely discloses quarterly results or an investor relations representative makes a selective disclosure of adverse news to a handful of investors.  In such situations, the Adviser must make a judgment as to its further conduct.  To protect yourself, your clients and the firm, Access Persons should immediately contact the CCO and, in his or her absence, the Director of Operations (with subsequent reporting to the CCO), if they believe that they may have received material, nonpublic information.
 
F. Tender Offers.

Tender offers represent a particular concern in the law of insider trading for two reasons. First, tender offer activity often produces extraordinary gyrations in the price of the target company's securities. Trading during this time period is more likely to attract regulatory attention (and produces a disproportionate percentage of insider trading cases).  Second, the SEC has adopted a rule which expressly forbids trading and "tipping" while in possession of material, nonpublic information regarding a tender offer received from the tender offeror, the target company or anyone acting on behalf of either.  The Adviser's Employees and others subject to this policy statement should exercise particular caution any time they become aware of nonpublic information relating to a tender offer.

G. What is Nonpublic Information?

Information is nonpublic until it has been disseminated broadly to investors in the marketplace.  One must be able to point to some fact to show that the information is generally public.  For example, information is public after it has become available to the general public through a public report or filing made with the SEC or some other government agency, has appeared in a Dow Jones, Bloomberg, Reuters, or Wall Street Journal publication or newswire service or other publication of general circulation and after sufficient time has passed so that the information has been disseminated widely.  The fact that information can be obtained from an insider, is known by a handful of persons or is available to those who know where to look, does not by itself make information public.
 
H. Bases for Liability

1. Fiduciary Duty Theory
 

In 1980, the Supreme Court found that there is no general duty to disclose before trading on material nonpublic information, but that such a duty arises only where there is a fiduciary relationship.  That is, there must be a relationship between the parties to the transaction such that one party has a right to expect that the other party will disclose any material nonpublic information or refrain from trading.  Chiarella v. U.S. , 445 U.S. 22 (1980)
 
In Dirks v. SEC , 463 U.S. 646 (1983), the Supreme Court stated alternate theories under which non-insiders can acquire the fiduciary duties of insiders:  they can become “temporary insiders” by entering into a confidential relationship with the company through which they gain information (e.g., attorneys, advisers, accountants), or they can acquire a fiduciary duty to the company's shareholders as "tippees" if they are aware or should have been aware that they have been given confidential information by an insider who has breached his fiduciary duty to the company's shareholders.
 
However, in the "tippee" situation, a breach of duty occurs only if the insider personally benefits, directly or indirectly, from the disclosure.  The benefit does not have to be pecuniary, but can be a gift, a reputational benefit that will translate into futures earnings, or even evidence of a relationship that suggests a quid pro quo.
 
2. Misappropriation Theory
 
Another basis for insider trading liability is the “misappropriation theory” which the Supreme Court recognized in United States v. O’Hagan , 521 U.S. (1997) .  Under this theory, liability is established when trading occurs based on material nonpublic information that was stolen or misappropriated from any other person in breach of a duty of trust or confidence owed to the source of the information. The misappropriation theory premises liability on a trader’s deception of the person who entrusted him or her with access to confidential information.  I t should be noted that the misappropriation theory can be used to reach a variety of individuals not previously thought to be encompassed under the fiduciary duty theory.
 
J. Penalties for Insider Trading
 
The penalties for trading on or communicating material nonpublic information are severe, both for individuals involved in such unlawful conduct and their employers. A person can be subject to some or all of the penalties below even if he or she does not personally benefit from the violation.  The penalties include:
 
1. Jail sentences
 
2. Criminal fines
 
3. Civil injunctions
 
4. Disgorgement of profits
 
5. Civil penalties for the person who committed the violation of up to threetimes the profit gained or loss avoided, whether or not the person actuallybenefited, and
 
6. Civil penalties for the employer or other controlling person of up to the greater of $1,425,000 or three times the amount of the profit gained or loss avoided as a result of the insider trader’s violation.
 
In addition, as stated above, any violation of this policy statement can be expected to result in serious sanctions by the Adviser, including dismissal of the persons involved.


II. Procedures to Implement the Policy Statement on Insider Trading

The following procedures have been established to aid all Access Persons of the Adviser in avoiding insider trading and to aid the Adviser  and its supervisory personnel in surveilling for, and otherwise in preventing, detecting and imposing sanctions against insider trading.  Every Access Person of the Adviser must follow these procedures or risk serious sanctions, including dismissal, substantial personal liability and criminal penalties.  If Access Persons have any questions about these procedures they must consult the CCO or, in his or her absence, the Director of Operations (with subsequent reporting to the CCO).
 
A. Identifying Inside Information

Before trading for yourself or others, including accounts managed by the Adviser, in the securities of a company about which you may have potential inside information, all Access Persons must ask the following questions:

1. Is the information material?  As explained more fully above, is this information that a reasonable investor would consider important in making his or her investment decision?  Is this information that would substantially affect the market price of the securities if generally disclosed?
 
2. Is the information nonpublic?  As explained more fully above, consider to whom this information has been provided.   To what extent, for how long, and by what means has the information been disseminated?  Has the information been disseminated broadly to investors in the marketplace?
 
If, after consideration of the above, you believe that the information is material and nonpublic, or if you have questions as to whether the information is material and nonpublic, you must take the following steps.  Failure to disclose such information as provided below in a timely manner may result in discipline, up to and including termination.

1. Report the information and the proposed trade immediately to the CCO or, in his or her absence, the Director of Operations.
 
2. Do not purchase or sell the securities on behalf of yourself or others, including accounts managed by the Adviser.
 
3. Do not communicate the information inside or outside the Adviser, other than to the CCO or, in his or her absence, the Director of Operations.
 
4. After the CCO has reviewed the issue, the Adviser will determine whether the information is material and nonpublic and, if so, what actions(s) the Adviser should take.
 
B. Personal Securities Trading.

All personal securities trading by Access Persons is subject to the Adviser's Code of Ethics which includes this policy and procedures.  All Access Persons must review the Code of Ethics carefully and direct any questions about it to the CCO or, in his or her absence, the Director of Operations (with subsequent reporting to the CCO).


C. Restricting Access to Material Nonpublic Information

Information in your possession that you identify as material and nonpublic may not be communicated to anyone, including persons within the Adviser, except as provided in paragraph A of Section II above.  In addition, care should be taken so that such information is secure.  For example:  (1) access to files containing material nonpublic information and computer files containing material nonpublic information should be restricted and/or locked; (2) conversations containing such information, if appropriate at all, should be conducted in private; (3) confidentiality agreements should be used with third parties when appropriate; (4) management should be informed if unauthorized persons enter the premises; (5) refrain from leaving confidential information on message devices or desks; (6) maintain control of sensitive documents, including handouts and copies, intended for internal use; (7) ensure that faxes and email messages containing confidential information are properly sent, and (8) do not allow passwords to be given to unauthorized personnel.

III. Supervisory Procedures

The role of the CCO is critical to the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the Adviser's policies and procedures against insider trading.  The supervisory procedures set forth below are designed to prevent insider trading and to detect such trading if it occurs.

A. Prevention of Insider Trading

To prevent insider trading, the CCO will:

1. Distribute the Adviser's policies and procedures, which include this policy, to new Employees and consultants who are Access Persons, review such policies and procedures with the Employee and consultants who are Access Persons, and insure that each new Employee and consultant who are Access Persons sign the acknowledgement form for both the policies and procedures and, specifically, for the Insider Trading Policy;
 
2. On an annual basis the CCO will provide training to all Access Persons with respect to the Adviser’s policies and procedures, which include this policy, and insure that, annually, each of them has signed the acknowledgment form for both the policies and procedures and the Insider Trading Policy;
 
3. Enforce the applicable Personal Securities Trading Restrictions and reporting requirements provided for in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics;
 
4. Answer questions regarding the Adviser's policies and procedures;
 
5. Resolve issues of whether information received by an Access Person of an Adviser is material and nonpublic;
 
6. Review on an annual basis, and update as necessary, the Adviser's policies and procedures, which include this policy, to determine they are effective in preventing insider trading;
 
7. When it has been determined that an Access Person of the Adviser has material nonpublic information
 
a. Implement measures to prevent dissemination of such information otherthan to appropriate persons on a “need to know” basis, and
 
b. If necessary, restrict Access Persons from trading the securities;
 
8. Promptly review and either approve or disapprove, in writing, each request of an Access Person for clearance to trade in specified securities.
 

B. Detection of Insider Trading

To detect insider trading, the CCO will:

1. Monitor trading activities of the Adviser's account, if any, on a monthly basis in        addition to review of trade confirmations and monthly customer statements provided by any FINRA Member broker-dealer with whom the firm may establish an account.  Transactions taking place in an Adviser's accounts may only be affected by authorized personnel.
 
2. Monitor trading activities of the Adviser's Access Persons through review of duplicates of confirmations and customer statements provided by any FINRA Member broker-dealer with whom the Access Person has an account.
 
3. Coordinate the review of such reports and information with appropriate Access Persons of the Adviser.
 
4. Should the CCO learn, through regular review of personal trading documents, or from any other source, that a violation of this policy is suspected, the CCO shall promptly alert Christopher Niemczewski.  Together these parties will determine who should conduct further investigation and what investigation is necessary.
 
C. Special Reports to Management

Promptly, after learning of a potential violation of the Adviser's Insider Trading Policy, the CCO shall prepare a written report to the principals of Marshfield Associates and/or the members of Bushido Capital Partners LLC and Yogi LLC providing full details which may include any or all of the following:

1. The name of particular securities involved, if any.
 
2. The date(s) the CCO learned of the potential violation and began an  investigation.
 
3. The accounts and individuals involved.
 
4. Any actions taken as a result of an investigation.
 
5. Recommendations for further action.
 
D. General Reports to Management

If not otherwise required by a Special Report, on an annual basis, the Adviser may find it useful for the CCO to prepare a written report to the principals of Marshfield Associates and/or the members of Bushido Capital Partners LLC and Yogi LLC setting forth some or all of the following:

1. A summary of existing procedures to detect and prevent insider trading;
 
2. A summary of changes in procedures made in the last year;
 
3. Full details of any investigation since the last report (whether  internal or by a regulatory agency) of any suspected insider trading, the results of the investigation and a description of any changes in procedures prompted by any such investigation; and
 
4. An evaluation of the current procedures and a description of anticipated changes in procedures.
