^1. "Interest and Dividends on Securities Sold Short" reflect interest expense and dividends paid on borrowed securities. Interest expense results from the Fund's use of prime brokerage arrangements to execute short sales. Dividends paid on borrowed securities are an expense of short sales. Such expenses are required to be treated as a Fund expense for accounting purposes and are not payable to the Fund or the Adviser. Any interest expense amount or dividends paid on securities sold short will vary based on the Fund's use of those investments.

^2. "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund's financial statements because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund.

^3. The Fund's administrator has entered into a Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement with the Fund that covers the regular operating expenses of the Fund for an inclusive fee of 0.28% (with the exception of management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, expenses on short sales, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses), even if such operating expenses exceed the inclusive fee. The agreement runs through June 30, 2017 and can only be terminated prior to that date at the discretion of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Fund's administrator cannot recoup from the Fund any regular operating expenses in excess of the inclusive fee. In conjunction with the Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement, the Advisor has entered into an Operating Plan with the Fund's administrator, also through June 30, 2016, under which it has agreed to make payments to the administrator when the Fund is at lower asset levels and to assume certain expenses of the Fund outlined in the Operating Plan. The Operating Plan can only be terminated prior to the conclusion of the current term with the approval of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Advisor cannot recoup from the Fund any amounts paid under the Operating Plan.

Example. This example shows you the expenses you may pay over time by investing in the Fund. Since all mutual funds use the same hypothetical conditions, this example should help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund versus other mutual funds. The example assumes the following conditions:

·	You invest $10,000 in the Fund for the periods shown;

·	You reinvest all dividends and distributions;

·	You redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods;

·	You earn a 5% return each year; and

·	The Fund's operating expenses remain the same.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the following table shows you what your costs may be under the conditions listed above.

Class	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Institutional Class	$ 79	$ 858	$ 1,658	$ 3,751
Advisor Class	$ 119	$ 976	$ 1,849	$ 4,101

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 0.00% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund's investment advisor, Arin Risk Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective by investing in a portfolio of common stocks, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), and futures contracts, while also engaging in option trades that the Advisor believes will be profitable due to perceived pricing discrepancies in the options market.

As a matter of investment policy, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in a portfolio of securities whose value is based on companies with market capitalizations that qualify them as "large-cap" companies. This policy may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60-days' prior notice to shareholders. The Advisor considers a company to be a "large cap" company if its market capitalization falls within the range of market capitalizations of companies included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. While t he Fund typically invests in common stocks, ETFs, futures contracts, and options , it has the ability to invest in other types of equity securities, such as preferred stocks and warrants, that satisfy the Fund's investment criteria.

A portion of the Fund's assets will be invested in securities that track the performance of the U.S. large-cap equity market. These securities include ETFs , options and futures contracts based on broad-based market indexes like the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. These securities may also include a group of common stocks that the Advisor believes will track the performance of the large-cap equity market. At times, a relatively high percentage of this portion of the portfolio may be invested in a single ETF or a limited number of ETFs that track broad-based market indexes. Securities will be selected based upon their ability to provide exposure to the large-cap equity market. The percentage of the Fund invested in these securities will change from time to time as the Advisor deems appropriate based on its analysis and allocation models.

Based on its exposure to the large-cap equity market, the Fund will trade options to try to take advantage of perceived pricing discrepancies in the options market. The Advisor identifies these trading opportunities by analyzing expected or implied volatility levels . The market price of an option is partially based on the expected volatility, or potential variation in price over time, of its underlying asset. The Advisor attempts to take the advantage of differences between the volatility implied by one's option's price and that of another. By analyzing the implied and forecasted volatilities of various option contracts , and comparing these levels to the implied and forecasted volatilities of correlated securities, the Advisor attempts to identify situations where one option is relatively overvalued and another is relatively undervalued . The Advisor then may establish a long position in a "cheap" or "fair value" option and a short position by selling the "expensive" option. The Advisor may also employ other option trading strategies that may benefit from the relative richness or cheapness of option prices or establish a position that is intended to achieve a similar result through a combination of long and short positions on call and put options.

In selecting the options that the Fund will trade, the Advisor first identifies exchange-traded options with a trading volume sufficient to preclude the Fund's trades from influencing prices. The Advisor then evaluates the available investment opportunities with a proprietary trading algorithm that assists the Advisor in determining when to buy and sell options. The Advisor also allocates a portion of the Fund's assets to cash or cash equivalents, including money-market instruments and money-market mutual funds.

The Fund's investments in options, futures, or similar instruments will comply with the applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, including, but not limited to, Section 18 thereof and relevant interpretive positions of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the use of such instruments.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

The loss of your money is a principal risk of investing in the Fund. Investments in the Fund are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of some or the entire principal amount invested. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be successful in meeting its investment objective. Generally, the Fund will be subject to the following principal risks:

Common Stocks. The Fund's investments in common stocks, both directly and indirectly through the Fund's investment in shares of other investment companies, may fluctuate in value 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. During temporary or extended bear markets, the value of common stocks will decline, which could also result in losses for the Fund.

ETF Risks. The Fund's investments in ETFs will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities comprising the portfolio of such ETFs and the value of the Fund's investment will fluctuate in response to the performance of such portfolio. The Fund's performance depends in part upon the performance of the managers and selected strategies of the ETFs, the instruments used by ETFs, and the Advisor's ability to select ETFs and effectively allocate Fund assets among them. Shareholders in the Fund will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the ETFs in which the Fund invests in addition to the Fund's direct fees and expenses. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in such ETFS and also may be higher than other funds that invest directly in securities. These types of investments by the Fund could affect the timing, amount, and character of distributions and therefore may increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders.

Futures Risk. The Fund's use of stock index futures contracts may cause the value of the Fund's shares to be more volatile. Futures contracts expose the Fund to leverage and tracking risks because a small investment in futures contracts may produce large losses and futures contracts may not accurately track the underlying securities. Changes in the value of futures contracts may not track or correlate perfectly with the underlying index because of temporary, or even long-term, supply and demand imbalances and because futures do not pay dividends unlike the stocks upon which they are based.

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

Investment Advisor Risk. The Advisor's ability to choose suitable investments has a significant impact on the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives. The Advisor was formed in 2009 and is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, the Advisor does not have previous experience managing an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Advisor's inexperience managing a registered investment company may limit its effectiveness. The experience of the portfolio managers is discussed in "Management of the Fund – Investment Advisor."

Large-Cap Securities Risk. Stocks of large companies as a group can fall out of favor with the market, causing the Fund to underperform investments that have a greater focus on mid-cap or small-cap stocks. Larger, more established companies may be slow to respond to challenges and may grow more slowly than smaller companies.

Operating Risk. The Advisor and the Fund's administrator have entered into an Operating Plan that facilitates the administrator's assumption of the Fund's regular operating expenses under the Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement. The Operating Plan obligates the Advisor to pay certain expenses of the Fund in order to help limit its annual operating expenses. If the Advisor, however, does not have sufficient revenue to support those expenses, the Advisor may be compelled to either resign or become insolvent. In addition, if the Fund incurs expenses in excess of those that the Fund's administrator has agreed to pay and the Advisor is not able or willing to pay the excess costs, those excess costs will increase the Fund's expenses.

Risks from Purchasing Options. If a call or put option purchased by the Fund is not sold when it has remaining value and if the market price of the underlying security, in the case of a call, remains less than or equal to the exercise price, or, in the case of a put, remains equal to or greater than the exercise price, the Fund will lose its entire investment in the option. Since many factors influence the value of an option, including the price of the underlying security, the exercise price, the time to expiration, the interest rate, and the dividend rate of the underlying security, the Advisor's success in implementing the Fund's strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets, and movements in interest rates. There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position. Where a position in a purchased option is used as a hedge against price movements in a related position, the price of the option may move more or less than the price of the related position.

Risks from Writing Options . Writing option contracts can result in losses that exceed the Fund's initial investment and may lead to additional turnover and higher tax liability. The risk involved in writing a call option is that there could be an increase in the market value of the security. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be sold by the Fund at a lower price than its current market value or in the case of cash settled options, the Fund would be required to purchase the option at a price that is higher than the original sales price for such option. Similarly, while writing call options can reduce the risk of owning stocks, such a strategy limits the opportunity of the Fund to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option. The risk involved in writing a put option is that there could be a decrease in the market value of the underlying security. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be sold to the Fund at a higher price than its current market value or in the case of cash settled options, the Fund would be required to purchase the option at a price that is higher than the original sales price for such option.

There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position. Where a position in a written option is used as a hedge against price movements in a related position, the price of the option may move more or less than the price of the related position. When the Fund writes options, the Fund will comply with the applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the guidance of no-action letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Investment Company Act Release No. 10666 (Apr. 18, 1979).

Trading Strategies Based on Expected/Implied Volatility. Trading strategies based on expected/implied volatility require successful monitoring, modeling, and interpretation of market conditions. Factors other than volatility influence the value of an option and may impact the trading strategy, including changes to the price of the underlying security, the time to expiration, the interest rate, and the dividend rate of the underlying security. Trading opportunities may be short-lived or limited as a result of a low trading volume in certain exchange-traded options, in which cases the Fund may be required to hold elevated cash balances. Transaction costs and taxes may have a significant impact on the profitability of these trading strategies.

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

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, STRATEGIES, AND RISKS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

The Arin Large Cap Theta Fund seeks maximum relative total return versus the S&P 500 Stock Index through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund's investment objectives may be changed without shareholder approval upon sixty days' prior written notice to shareholders.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY

As a matter of investment policy, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in a portfolio of securities whose value is based on companies with market capitalizations that qualify them as "large-cap" companies. This policy may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60-days' prior notice to shareholders. The Advisor considers a company to be a "large cap" company if its market capitalization falls within the range of market capitalizations of companies included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. While t he Fund typically invests in common stocks, ETFs, futures contracts, and options , it has the ability to invest in other types of equity securities such as preferred stocks and warrants that satisfy the Fund's investment criteria.

An ETF is an investment company that offers investors a proportionate share in a portfolio of stocks, bonds, commodities, or other securities. Like individual equity securities, ETFs are traded on a stock exchange and can be bought and sold throughout the day. Traditional ETFs attempt to achieve the same investment return as that of a particular market index, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. To mirror the performance of a market index, an ETF invests either in all of the securities in the index or a representative sample of securities in the index.

A portion of the Fund's assets will be invested in securities that track the performance of the U.S. large-cap equity market. These securities include ETFs , options and futures contracts based on broad-based market indexes, like the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. These securities may also include a group of common stocks that the Advisor believes will track the performance of the large-cap equity market. At times, a relatively high percentage of this portion of the portfolio may be invested in a single ETF or a limited number of ETFs that track broad-based market indexes. Securities will be selected based upon their ability to provide exposure to the large-cap equity market. The percentage of the Fund invested in these securities will change from time to time as the Advisor deems appropriate based on its analysis and allocation models.

Based on its exposure to the large-cap equity market, the Fund will trade options to try to take advantage of perceived pricing discrepancies in the options market. The Advisor identifies these trading opportunities by analyzing expected or implied volatility levels. The market price of an option is partially based on the expected volatility, or potential variation in price over time, of its underlying asset. The Advisor attempts to take the advantage of differences between the volatility implied by one's option's price and that of another. By analyzing the implied and forecastedvolatilities of various option contracts, and comparing these levels to the implied and forecasted volatilities of correlated securities, the Advisor attempts to identify situations where one option is relatively overvalued and another is relatively undervalued. The Advisor then may establish a long position in a "cheap" or "fair value" option and a short position by selling the "expensive" option. The Advisor may also employ other option trading strategies that may benefit from the relative richness or cheapness of option prices or establish a position that is intended to achieve a similar result through a combination of long and short positions on call and put options.

A futures contract calls for delivery of an asset or its cash value for set price in the future. A stock index futures contract requires a cash settlement based on the value of a particular stock index. Changes in the value of the stock index are reflected in the market value of the futures contract.

In selecting the options that the Fund will trade, the Advisor first identifies exchange-traded options with a trading volume sufficient to preclude the Fund's trades from influencing prices. The Advisor also allocates a portion of the Fund's assets to cash or cash equivalents, including money-market instruments and money-market mutual funds.

Writing Options. As the seller, or writer, of options, the Fund receives a premium from the purchaser. For example, the purchaser of a call option on an individual security, like an ETF or stock, has the right to buy the security at a fixed .price (the "exercise price") on or before a certain date in the future (the "expiration date"). If the purchaser does not exercise the call option, the Fund retains the premium. If the purchaser exercises the call option, the Fund is required to deliver the underlying security. If the Fund does not own the underlying security, then it may be required to purchase the security in order to meet the delivery requirements of the option contract. The premium, the exercise price, and the value of the security determine the gain or loss realized by the Fund as the seller of a call option. The Fund can also repurchase the call option prior to the expiration date, ending its obligation. In contrast to a call option, when the Fund sells a put option, it receives a premium and may be required to buy the underlying security from the purchaser. Index options are settled with cash and do not involve the actual delivery of the underlying securities. Upon exercise, the Fund pays the purchaser the difference between the value of the index and the exercise price of the option.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

Common Stocks. The Fund's investments in common stocks, both directly and indirectly through the Fund's investment in shares of ETFs, may fluctuate in value 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. During temporary or extended bear markets, the value of common stocks will decline, which could also result in losses for the Fund.

Futures Risk. The Fund's use of stock index futures contracts may cause the value of the Fund's shares may be more volatile. Futures contracts expose the Fund to leverage and tracking risks because a small investment in futures contracts may produce large losses and futures contracts may not accurately track the underlying securities. Changes in the value of futures contracts may not track or correlate perfectly with the underlying index because of temporary, or even long-term, supply and demand imbalances and because futures do not pay dividends unlike the stocks upon which they are based. When the Fund invests in futures, the Fund will comply with the applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the guidance of no-action letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Investment Company Act Release No. 10666 (Apr. 18, 1979).

Risks from Writing Options. Writing option contracts can result in losses that exceed the Fund's initial investment and may lead to additional turnover and higher tax liability. The risk involved in writing a call option is that there could be an increase in the market value of the security. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be sold by the Fund at a lower price than its current market value or in the case of cash settled options, the Fund would be required to purchase the option at a price that is higher than the original sales price for such option . Similarly, while writing call options can reduce the risk of owning stocks, such a strategy limits the opportunity of the Fund to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option. The risk involved in writing a put option is that there could be a decrease in the market value of the underlying security. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be sold to the Fund at a higher price than its current market value or in the case of cash settled options, the Fund would be required to purchase the option at a price that is higher than the original sales price for such option .

There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position. Where a position in a written option is used as a hedge against price movements in a related position, the price of the option may move more or less than the price of the related position. When the Fund writes options , the Fund will comply with the applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the guidance of no-action letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Investment Company Act Release No. 10666 (Apr. 18, 1979).

Trading Strategies Based on Expected/Implies Volatility. Trading strategies based on expected/implied volatility require successful monitoring, modeling, and interpretation of market conditions. Factors other than volatility influence the value of an option and may impact the trading strategy, including changes to the price of the underlying security, the time to expiration, the interest rate, and the dividend rate of the underlying security. Trading opportunities may be short-lived or limited as a result of a low trading volume in certain exchange-traded options, in which cases the Fund may be required to hold elevated cash balances. Transaction costs and taxes may have a significant impact on the profitability of these trading strategies.

NON-PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS

An investment in the Fund should not be considered a complete investment program. Whether the Fund is not an appropriate investment for an investor will depend largely on his or her financial resources and individual investment goals and objectives. Investors who engage in short-term trading or other speculative strategies and styles will not find the Fund to be an appropriate investment vehicle if they want to invest in the Fund for a short period of time.

Temporary Defensive Positions. The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategy in an attempt to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. During such an unusual set of circumstances, the Fund may hold up to 100% of its portfolio in cash or cash equivalent positions. When the Fund takes temporary defensive positions, the Fund may not be able to achieve their investment objectives.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

INVESTMENT ADVISOR

The Fund's investment advisor is Arin Risk Advisors, LLC, 200 Four Falls Corporate Center, Suite 211, Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428-2980. The Advisor was established in 2009 and is registered as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Subject to the authority of the Trustees and pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreements with the Trust, the Advisor provides a program of continuous supervision of the Fund's assets, including developing the composition of its portfolio, and furnishes advice and recommendations with respect to investments, investment policies, and the purchase and sale of securities. The Advisor is also responsible for the selection of broker-dealers through which the Fund executes portfolio transactions, subject to the brokerage policies established by the Trustees, and it provides certain executive personnel to the Fund.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by Lawrence Lempert and Joseph DeSipio.

Mr. Lempert has been the Trading Director of the Advisor since the firm's founding in 2009 and Chief Compliance Officer since 2011. Prior to joining the Advisor, he founded and managed Bullock Capital, LLC's proprietary stock/option trading operation and previously served as a market maker/index/sector correlation and dispersion trader with Susquehanna International Group. Mr. Lempert earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Statistics and Economics from Rutgers College, a Juris Doctor from Villanova University School of Law, and a Master of Laws in Taxation from New York University School of Law.

Mr. DeSipio is the Co-Founder and Chief Market Strategist of the Advisor since the firm's founding in 2009. He previously held Strategist and Lead Portfolio Manager positions with SEI Investments, Evergreen Investments, Wachovia, and Vector Capital Management, Inc. He founded Evergreen Investments' Options Strategy Group in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Mr. DeSipio earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana University of PA and Master of Arts degree in Economics from Temple University. He is a CFA charterholder and a Financial Risk Manager.

The Fund's Statement of Additional Information provides information about the portfolio manager's compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio manager, and the portfolio manager's ownership of shares of the Fund.

Advisor Compensation. As full compensation for the investment advisory services provided to the Fund, the Advisor receives monthly compensation based on the Fund's average daily net assets at the annual rate of 0.40%.

Disclosure Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts. A discussion regarding the Trustees' basis for approving the investment advisory contracts for the Fund can be found, once available, in the Fund's A nnual Report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016 . You may obtain a copy of the annual report, once available, upon request to the Fund.

DISTRIBUTOR

Capital Investment Group, Inc. ("Distributor") is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Fund's shares and serves as the Fund's exclusive agent for the distribution of the Fund shares. The Distributor may sell the Fund's shares to or through qualified securities dealers or others.

The Fund has adopted a plan of distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Distribution Plan"). Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Fund compensates the Distributor with assets attributable to the Advisor Class Shares for services rendered and expenses borne in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale or the servicing of those shares (this compensation is commonly referred to as "12b-1 fees"). These activities include, among others, reimbursement to entities for providing distribution and shareholder servicing with respect to the Fund's shares.

The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund may annually pay the Distributor up to 0.40% of the average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class Shares. The 0.40% fee for the Advisor Class Shares is comprised of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.15% distribution fee. Because the 12b-1 fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, these fees, over time, will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales loads.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON EXPENSES

Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement. The Nottingham Company ("Administrator") provides the Fund with administrative, fund accounting, and compliance services. The Administrator receives compensation from the Fund at a maximum annual rate of 0.28% and is responsible for the coordination and payment of vendor services and other Fund expenses from such compensation. Pursuant to this arrangement, the Administrator pays the following expenses: (i) compensation and expenses of any employees of the Trust and of any other persons rendering any services to the Fund; (ii) clerical and shareholder service staff salaries; (iii) office space and other office expenses; (iv) fees and expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with membership in investment company organizations; (v) fees and expenses of counsel to the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund and Trust; (vi) fees and expenses of counsel to the Fund and Trust engaged to assist with preparation of Fund and Trust documents and filings and provide other ordinary legal services; (vii) fees and expenses of independent public accountants to the Fund, including fees and expense for tax preparation; (viii) expenses of registering shares under federal and state securities laws; (ix) insurance expenses; (x) fees and expenses of the custodian, shareholder servicing, dividend disbursing and transfer agent, administrator, distributor, and accounting and pricing services agents of the Fund; (xi) compensation for a chief compliance officer for the Trust; (xii) expenses, including clerical expenses, of issue, sale, redemption, or repurchase of shares of the Fund; (xiii) the cost of preparing and distributing reports and notices to shareholders; (xiv) the cost of printing or preparing prospectuses and statements of additional information for delivery to the Fund's current shareholders; (xv) the cost of printing or preparing documents, statements or reports to shareholders; and (xvi) other expenses not specifically assumed by the Fund or Advisor. The Administrator cannot recoup from the Fund any Fund expenses in excess of the administration fees payable under the Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement.

Operating Plan. The Advisor has entered into an Operating Plan with the Administrator under which it has agreed make the following payments to the Administrator: (i) when a Fund's assets are below $49 million, the Advisor pays the Administrator a fee based on the daily average net assets of the Fund; and (ii) when the consolidated fee collected by the Administrator is less than a designated minimum operating cost, then the Advisor pays the Administrator a fee that makes up the difference. The Advisor is also obligated to pay the following Fund expenses under the Operating Plan: (i) marketing, distribution, and servicing expenses related to the sale or promotion of Fund shares that the Fund is not authorized to pay pursuant to the Investment Company Act; (ii) expenses incurred in connection with the organization and initial registration of shares of the Fund; (iii) expenses incurred in connection with the dissolution and liquidation of the Fund; (iv) expenses related to shareholder meetings and proxy solicitations; (v) fees and expenses related to legal, auditing, and accounting services that are in amounts greater than the limits or outside of the scope of ordinary services; and (vi) hiring employees and retaining advisers and experts as contemplated by Rule 0-1(a)(7)(vii) of the Investment Company Act.

The Operating Plan may be terminated by either party at the conclusion of the then current term upon: (i) written notice of non-renewal to the other party not less than sixty days prior to the end of the term, or (ii) mutual written agreement of the parties. The Advisor cannot recoup from the Fund any amounts paid by the Advisor to the Fund's administrator under the Operating Plan. If the Operating Plan is terminated when the Fund is at lower asset levels, the administrator would likely need to terminate the Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement in order to avoid incurring expenses without reimbursement from the Advisor. Unless other expense limitation arrangements were put in place, the Fund's expenses would likely increase.

Other Expenses. The Fund is obligated to pay brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, borrowing costs (such as interest or dividend expenses on securities sold short), acquired fund fees and expenses, and distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees. The Fund will be separately responsible for any extraordinary expenses, such as indemnification payments or damages awarded in litigation or settlements made. All general Trust expenses are allocated among and charged to the assets of each separate fund series of the Trust (if any), on a basis that the Trustees deem fair and equitable, which may be on the basis of relative net assets of each series or the nature of the services performed and relative applicability to each series.

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. In the summary section of the prospectus entitled "Fees and Expenses of the Fund," the "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" do not affect the Fund's actual operating costs and, therefore, are not included in the Fund's financial statements, which provide a clearer picture of the Fund's actual operating costs. The "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" and "Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses" under "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" will not match the Fund's gross and net expense ratios reported in the Financial Highlights from the Fund's financial statements. The ratios reported in the Financial Highlights reflect the operating expenses of the Funds without "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses."

INVESTING IN THE FUND

PURCHASE OPTIONS

The Fund offers two different classes of shares through this prospectus. The Fund also offers an additional class of shares, Wirehouse Class Shares, in a separate prospectus. The share class available to an investor may vary depending on how the investor wishes to purchase shares of the Fund. Each share class is sold at net asset value, represents interests in the same portfolio of investments, and has the same rights, but differs with respect to sales loads and ongoing expenses. Set forth below is a brief description of the share classes offered through this prospectus.

Institutional Class Shares

·	No front-end sales charge.

·	No contingent deferred sales charges.

·	Distribution and service plan (Rule 12b-1) fees of 0.00%.

·	$25,000 minimum initial investment.

Advisor Class Shares

·	No front-end sales charge.

·	No contingent deferred sales charges.

·	Distribution and service plan (Rule 12b-1) fees of 0.40%.

·	$25,000 minimum initial investment.

You must choose a share class when you purchase shares of the Fund. If none is chosen, your purchase request will not be considered complete and, therefore, will not be processed until the Fund receives this required information.

Information regarding the Fund's sales charges, as well as information regarding reduced sales charges and waived sales charges, and the terms and conditions for the purchase, pricing, and redemption of Fund shares is not available on the Fund's website since the Fund's website contains limited information. Further information is available free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-773-3863.

The Fund may, in the Advisor's sole discretion, accept certain accounts with less than the minimum investment.

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION PRICE

Determining the Fund's Net Asset Value. The price at which you purchase or redeem shares is based on the next calculation of net asset value ("NAV") after an order is received, subject to the order being accepted by the Fund in good form. An order is considered to be in good form if it includes all necessary information and documentation related to a purchase or redemption request and, if applicable, payment in full of the purchase amount. The Fund's NAV per share for each class of shares is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund's total assets attributable to that class, less liabilities (including Fund expenses, which are accrued daily) attributable to that class, by the total number of outstanding shares attributable to that class. To the extent that the Fund holds portfolio securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price shares, the NAV of the Fund's shares may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem shares. The NAV per share for each class of shares is normally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, the time regular trading closes on the New York Stock Exchange, provided that certain options and futures contracts are priced as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The Fund does not calculate NAV on business holidays when the New York Stock Exchange is closed.

The pricing and valuation of portfolio securities is determined in good faith in accordance with policies established by, and under the direction of, the Board of Trustees. In determining the value of the Fund's total assets, portfolio securities are generally calculated at market value by quotations from the primary market in which they are traded. Instruments with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The Fund normally uses third party pricing services to obtain market quotations. Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or which cannot be accurately valued using the Funds' normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value in good faith by either a valuation committee or the Advisor in accordance with procedures established by, and under the supervision of, the Board of Trustees. F air value pricing may be used, for example, in situations where (i) an exchange-traded portfolio security is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that security over an extended period of time or the validity of a market quotation received is questionable; (ii) the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early; or (iii) trading of the portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Fund's NAV calculation .

Pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Advisor consults with the Fund's administrator on a regular basis regarding the need for fair value pricing . The Advisor is responsible for notifying the Board of Trustees (or the Fund's valuation committee) when it believes that fair value pricing is required for a particular security . The Fund's policies regarding fair value pricing are intended to result in a calculation of the Fund's NAV that fairly reflects portfolio security values as of the time of pricing. A portfolio security's "fair value" price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Fund's normal pricing procedures and the fair value price may differ from the price at which the security may ultimately be traded or sold. If such fair value price differs from the price that would have been determined using the Fund's normal pricing procedures, a shareholder may receive more or less proceeds or shares from redemptions or purchases of Fund shares, respectively, than a shareholder would have otherwise received if the security were priced using the Fund's normal pricing procedures . The performance of the Fund may also be affected if a portfolio security's fair value price were to differ from the security's price using the Fund's normal pricing procedures . To the extent the Fund invests in other open-end investment companies that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund's net asset value calculations are based upon the net asset value 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 .

Other Matters. Purchases and redemptions of shares of the same class by the same shareholder on the same day will be netted for the Fund .

BUYING OR SELLING SHARES
THROUGH A FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY

Certain financial intermediaries have agreements with the Fund that allow them to enter purchase or redemption orders on behalf of clients and customers. These orders will be priced at the NAV next computed after the orders are received by the financial intermediary, subject to the order being in good form. Under this arrangement, the financial intermediary has a duty to transmit promptly to the Fund each purchase order or redemption request that the intermediary receives on the Fund's behalf and must send your payment to the Fund by the time they price their shares on the following business day. The Fund is not responsible for ensuring that a financial intermediary carries out its obligations. You should look to the financial intermediary through whom you wish to invest for specific instructions on how to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund .

PURCHASING SHARES

Purchases can be made directly from the Fund by mail or bank wire. The Fund has also authorized one or more brokers to receive purchase and redemption orders on its behalf and such brokers are authorized to designate other financial intermediaries to receive orders on behalf of the Fund. Such orders will be deemed to have been received by the Fund when an authorized broker, or broker-authorized designee, receives the order, subject to the order being in good form. The orders will be priced at the NAV next computed after the orders are received by the authorized broker, or broker-authorized designee. Investors may also be charged a fee by a broker or agent if shares are purchased through a broker or agent.

The Fund reserves the right to (i) refuse to accept any request to purchase shares for any reason and (ii) suspend the offering of shares at any time.

Regular Mail Orders. Payment for shares by mail must be made by check from a U.S. financial institution and payable in U.S. dollars. Cash, money orders, and traveler's checks will not be accepted by the Funds. If checks are returned due to insufficient funds or other reasons, your purchase will be canceled. You will also be responsible for any losses or expenses incurred by the Funds and their administrator and transfer agent. The Fund will charge a $35 fee and may redeem shares of the Fund owned by the purchaser or another identically registered account in another series of the Trust to recover any such losses. For regular mail orders, please complete the Fund Shares Application and mail it, along with a check made payable to the Fund, to:

Arin Large Cap Theta Fund
c/o Nottingham Shareholder Services
116 South Franklin Street
Post Office Box 4365
Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27803-0365

The application must contain your Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number. If you have applied for a number prior to completing your account application but you have not received your number, please indicate this on the application and include a copy of the form applying for your number. Taxes are not withheld from distributions to U.S. investors if certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Service are met regarding the Social Security Number and Taxpayer Identification Number.

Bank Wire Purchases. Purchases may also be made through bank wire orders. To establish a new account or add to an existing account by wire, please call the Fund at 1-800-773-3863 for wire instructions and to advise the Fund of the investment, dollar amount, and the account identification number.

Additional Investments. You may also add to your account by mail or wire at any time by purchasing shares at the then current net asset value. The minimum additional investment is $100. Before adding funds by bank wire, please call the Fund at 1-800-773-3863 for wire instructions and to advise the Fund of the investment, dollar amount, and the account identification number. Mail orders should include, if possible, the "Invest by Mail" stub that is attached to your confirmation statement. Otherwise, please identify your account in a letter accompanying your purchase payment.

Automatic Investment Plan. The automatic investment plan enables shareholders to make regular monthly or quarterly investments in shares through automatic charges to their checking account. With shareholder authorization and bank approval, the Fund will automatically charge the shareholder's checking account for the amount specified ($100 minimum), which will be automatically invested in shares at the public offering price on or about the 21st day of the month. The shareholder may change the amount of the investment or discontinue the plan at any time by writing the Fund.

Share Certificates. The Fund normally does not issue share certificates. Evidence of ownership of shares is provided through entry in the Fund's share registry. Investors will receive periodic account statements (and, where applicable, purchase confirmations) that will show the number of shares owned.

Important Information about Procedures for Opening a New Account. Under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act of 2001), the Fund is required to obtain, verify, and record information that enables the Fund to form a reasonable belief as to the identity of each customer who opens an account. Consequently, when an investor opens an account, the Fund will ask for the investor's name, street address, date of birth (for an individual), social security or other tax identification number (or proof that the investor has filed for such a number), and other information that will allow the Fund to identify the investor. The Fund may also ask to see the driver's license or other identifying documents of the investor. An investor's account application will not be considered "complete" and, therefore, an account will not be opened and the investor's money will not be invested until the Fund receives this required information. In addition, if after opening the investor's account the Fund is unable to verify the investor's identity after reasonable efforts, as determined by the Fund in its sole discretion, the Fund may (i) restrict further investments until the investor's identity is verified; and (ii) close the investor's account without notice and return the investor's redemption proceeds to the investor. If the Fund closes an investor's account because the Fund could not verify the investor's identity, the Fund will value the account in accordance with the next NAV calculated after the investor's account is closed. In that case, the investor's redemption proceeds may be worth more or less than the investor's original investment. The Fund will not be responsible for any losses incurred due to the Fund's inability to verify the identity of any investor opening an account.

REDEEMING SHARES

Regular Mail Redemptions. Regular mail redemption requests should be addressed to:

Arin Large Cap Theta Fund
c/o Nottingham Shareholder Services
116 South Franklin Street
Post Office Box 4365
Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804

Regular mail redemption requests should include the following:

(1)	Your letter of instruction specifying the share class, account number, and number of shares (or the dollar amount) to be redeemed. This request must be signed by all registered shareholders in the exact names in which they are registered;

(2)	Any required signature guarantees (see "Signature Guarantees" below); and

(3)	Other supporting legal documents, if required in the case of estates, trusts, guardianships, custodianships, corporations, partnerships, pension or profit sharing plans, and other entities.

Your redemption proceeds normally will be sent to you within 7 days after receipt of your redemption request. The Funds may delay forwarding a redemption check for recently purchased shares while the Funds determine whether the purchase payment will be honored. Such delay (which may take up to 15 days from the date of purchase) may be reduced or avoided if the purchase is made by certified check or wire transfer. In all cases, the NAV next determined after receipt of the request for redemption will be used in processing the redemption request.

Telephone and Bank Wire Redemptions. Unless you decline the telephone transaction privileges on your account application, you may redeem shares of the Funds by telephone. You may also redeem shares by bank wire under certain limited conditions. The Funds will redeem shares in this manner when so requested by the shareholder only if the shareholder confirms redemption instructions in writing.

The Funds may rely upon confirmation of redemption requests transmitted via facsimile (FAX# 919-882-9281). The confirmation instructions must include the following:

(1)	Name of Fund and share class;

(2)	Shareholder name and account number;

(3)	Number of shares or dollar amount to be redeemed;

(4)	Instructions for transmittal of redemption proceeds to the shareholder; and

(5)	Shareholder signature as it appears on the application on file with the Funds.

Redemption proceeds will not be distributed until written confirmation of the redemption request is received, per the instructions above. You can choose to have redemption proceeds mailed to you at your address of record, your financial institution, or to any other authorized person, or you can have the proceeds sent by wire transfer to your financial institution ($5,000 minimum). Redemption proceeds cannot be wired on days in which your financial institution is not open for business. You can change your redemption instructions anytime you wish by filing a letter with your new redemption instructions with the Funds. See "Signature Guarantees" below.

The Funds, in their discretion, may choose to pass through to redeeming shareholders any charges imposed by the Funds' custodian for wire redemptions. If this cost is passed through to redeeming shareholders by the Funds, the charge will be deducted automatically from your account by redemption of shares in your account. Your bank or brokerage firm may also impose a charge for processing the wire. If wire transfer of funds is impossible or impractical, the redemption proceeds will be sent by regular mail to the designated account.

You may redeem shares, subject to the procedures outlined above, by calling the Funds at 1-800-773-3863. Redemption proceeds will only be sent to the financial institution account or person named in your Fund Shares Application currently on file with the Funds. Telephone redemption privileges authorize the Funds to act on telephone instructions from any person representing him or herself to be the investor and reasonably believed by the Funds to be genuine. The Funds will employ reasonable procedures, such as requiring a form of personal identification, to confirm that instructions are genuine. The Funds will not be liable for any losses due to fraudulent or unauthorized instructions. The Funds will also not be liable for following telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan. A shareholder who owns Fund shares of a particular class valued at $25,000 or more at the current offering price may establish a systematic withdrawal plan ("Systematic Withdrawal Plan") to receive a monthly or quarterly check in a stated amount (not less than $100). Each month or quarter, as specified, the Fund will automatically redeem sufficient shares from your account to meet the specified withdrawal amount. The shareholder may establish this service whether dividends and distributions are reinvested in shares of the Fund or paid in cash. Call or write the Funds for an application form.

Minimum Account Size. The Trustees reserve the right to redeem involuntarily any account having a NAV of less than $10,000 (due to redemptions, exchanges, or transfers, and not due to market action) upon 30-days' prior written notice. If the shareholder brings his account NAV up to at least $10,000 during the notice period, the account will not be redeemed. Redemptions from retirement accounts may be subject to federal income tax. Shareholders may also be charged a fee by their broker or agent if shares are redeemed or transferred through their broker or agent.

Redemptions in Kind. The Funds do not intend, under normal circumstances, to redeem its shares by payment in kind. It is possible, however, that conditions may arise in the future which would, in the opinion of the Trustees, make it undesirable for the Fund to pay for all redemptions in cash. In such cases, the Trustees may authorize payment to be made in readily marketable portfolio securities of the Fund. Securities delivered in payment of redemptions would be valued at the same value assigned to them in computing the Fund's NAV per share. Shareholders receiving them bear the market risks associated with the securities until they have been converted into cash and may incur brokerage costs when these securities are sold. An irrevocable election has been filed under Rule 18f-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, wherein the Funds must pay redemptions in cash, rather than in kind, to any shareholder of record of the Fund who redeems during any 90-day period, the lesser of (i) $250,000 or (ii) 1% of the Fund's NAV at the beginning of such period. Redemption requests in excess of this limit may be satisfied in cash or in kind at the Funds' election.

Signature Guarantees. To protect your account and the Funds from fraud, signature guarantees may be required to be sure that you are the person who has authorized a change in registration or standing instructions for your account. Signature guarantees are generally required for (i) change of registration requests; (ii) requests to establish or to change exchange privileges or telephone and bank wire redemption service other than through your initial account application; (iii) transactions where proceeds from redemptions, dividends, or distributions are sent to a financial institution; and (iv) redemption requests in excess of $50,000. Signature guarantees are acceptable from a member bank of the Federal Reserve System, a savings and loan institution, credit union (if authorized under state law), registered broker-dealer, securities exchange, or association clearing agency and must appear on the written request for change of registration, establishment or change in exchange privileges, or redemption request.

Miscellaneous. The Funds reserve the right to delay the distribution of redemption proceeds involving recently purchased shares until the check for the recently purchased shares has cleared. The Funds may also suspend redemptions, if permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed, trading is restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Securities and Exchange Commission declares that an emergency exists. Redemptions may be suspended during other periods permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the protection of the Fund's shareholders. During drastic economic and market changes, telephone redemption privileges may be difficult to implement.

FREQUENT PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS

Frequent purchases and redemptions ("Frequent Trading") of shares of the Funds may present a number of risks to other shareholders of the Funds. These risks may include, among other things, dilution in the value of shares of the Funds held by long-term shareholders, interference with the efficient management by the Advisor of the Funds' portfolio holdings, and increased brokerage and administration costs. Due to the potential of a thin market for the Funds; portfolio securities, as well as overall adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions that may affect the sale price of portfolio securities, the Funds could face untimely losses as a result of having to sell portfolio securities prematurely to meet redemptions. Frequent Trading may also increase portfolio turnover which may result in increased capital gains taxes for shareholders of the Funds.

The Trustees have adopted a policy with respect to Frequent Trading that is intended to discourage such activity by shareholders of the Funds. The Funds do not accommodate Frequent Trading. Under the adopted policy, the Funds' transfer agent provides a daily record of shareholder trades to the Advisor. The Funds' transfer agent also monitors and tests shareholder purchase and redemption orders for possible incidents of Frequent Trading. The Advisor has the discretion to limit investments from an investor that the Advisor believes has a pattern of Frequent Trading that the Advisor considers not to be in the best interests of the other shareholders in the respective Fund by the Fund's refusal of further purchase and/or exchange orders from such investor. The Funds' policy regarding Frequent Trading is to limit investments from investor accounts that purchase and redeem shares over a period of less than ten days having a redemption amount within ten percent of the purchase amount and greater than $10,000 on two or more occasions during a 60 calendar day period. In the event such a purchase and redemption pattern occurs, an investor account and any other account with the same taxpayer identification number will be precluded from investing in the respective Fund (including investments that are part of an exchange transaction) for at least 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction.

The Advisor intends to apply this policy uniformly, except that the Funds may not be able to identify or determine that a specific purchase and/or redemption is part of a pattern of Frequent Trading or that a specific investor is engaged in Frequent Trading, particularly with respect to transactions made through accounts such as omnibus accounts or accounts opened through third-party financial intermediaries such as broker-dealers and banks ("Intermediary Accounts"). Therefore, this policy is not applied to omnibus accounts or Intermediary Accounts. Omnibus account arrangements permit multiple investors to aggregate their respective share ownership positions and to purchase, redeem, and exchange Fund shares without the identity of the particular shareholders being immediately known to the Funds. Like omnibus accounts, Intermediary Accounts normally permit investors to purchase, redeem, and exchange Fund shares without the identity of the underlying shareholder being immediately known to the Funds. Accordingly, the ability of the Funds to monitor and detect Frequent Trading through omnibus accounts and Intermediary Accounts is limited, and there is no guarantee that the Funds can identify shareholders who might be engaging in Frequent Trading through such accounts or curtail such trading. In addition, the policy will not apply if the Advisor determines that a purchase and redemption pattern does not constitute Frequent Trading activity, such as inadvertent errors that result in frequent purchases and redemptions. Inadvertent errors shall include purchases and/or redemptions made unintentionally or by mistake (e.g., where an investor unintentionally or mistakenly invests in the Funds and redeems immediately after recognizing the error). The investor shall have the burden of proving to the sole satisfaction of the Advisor that a frequent purchase and redemption pattern was a result of an inadvertent error. In such a case, the Advisor may choose to allow further purchase and/or exchange orders from such investor account.

OTHER IMPORTANT INVESTMENT INFORMATION

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES

The following information is meant as a general summary for U.S. taxpayers. Additional tax information appears in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. Shareholders should rely on their own tax advisors for advice about the particular federal, state, and local tax consequences to them of investing in the Fund.

The Fund will distribute most of their income and realized gains to shareholders every year. Income dividends paid by the Fund derived from net investment income, if any, will generally be paid monthly or quarterly and capital gains distributions, if any, will be made at least annually. Shareholders may elect to take dividends from net investment income or capital gains distributions, if any, in cash or reinvest them in additional Fund shares. Although the Fund will not be taxed on amounts they distribute, shareholders will generally be taxed on distributions paid by the Fund, regardless of whether distributions are received in cash or are reinvested in additional Fund shares. Distributions may be subject to state and local taxes, as well as federal taxes.

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 the Fund shares. An exchange of shares may be treated as a sale and any gain may be subject to tax.

As with all mutual funds, the Fund may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at the fourth lowest rate for taxpayers filing as unmarried individuals (presently 28%) for all taxable distributions payable to shareholders who fail to provide the Fund with their correct taxpayer identification numbers or to make required certifications, or who have been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that they are subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, it is a way in which the Internal Revenue Service ensures it will collect taxes otherwise due. Any amounts withheld may be credited against a shareholder's U.S. federal income tax liability.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND

These tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Fees
(fees paid directly from your investment)
	Wirehouse
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed On Purchases (as a % of offering price)	None
Redemption Fee	None
Exchange Fee	None

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
	Wirehouse
Management Fees	0.40%
Distribution and/or Service (12b‑1) Fees	1.00%
Other Expenses ¹ Interest and Dividends on Securities Sold Short ² Other Operating Expenses	3.21 % 0.01 % 3.20 %
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses ³	0.08 %
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	4.69 %
Fee Waiver and/or Expense Limitation ⁴	2.92 %
Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses	1.77 %

^1. Since Wirehouse Class Shares have not yet been offered, "Other Expenses" are estimated for the current fiscal year.

^2. "Interest and Dividends on Securities Sold Short" reflect interest expense and dividends paid on borrowed securities. Interest expense results from the Fund's use of prime brokerage arrangements to execute short sales. Dividends paid on borrowed securities are an expense of short sales. Such expenses are required to be treated as a Fund expense for accounting purposes and are not payable to the Fund or the Adviser. Any interest expense amount or dividends paid on securities sold short will vary based on the Fund's use of those investments.

^3. "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund's financial statements because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund.

^4. The Fund's administrator has entered into a Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement with the Fund that covers the regular operating expenses of the Fund for an inclusive fee of 0.28% (with the exception of management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, expenses on short sales, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses), even if such operating expenses exceed the inclusive fee. The agreement runs through June 30, 2017 and can only be terminated prior to that date at the discretion of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Fund's administrator cannot recoup from the Fund any regular operating expenses in excess of the inclusive fee. In conjunction with the Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement, the Advisor has entered into an Operating Plan with the Fund's administrator, also through June 30, 2016, under which it has agreed to make payments to the administrator when the Fund is at lower asset levels and to assume certain expenses of the Fund outlined in the Operating Plan. The Operating Plan can only be terminated prior to the conclusion of the current term with the approval of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Advisor cannot recoup from the Fund any amounts paid under the Operating Plan.

·	You invest $10,000 in the Fund for the periods shown;

·	You reinvest all dividends and distributions;

·	You redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods;

·	You earn a 5% return each year; and

·	The Fund's operating expenses remain the same.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the following table shows you what your costs may be under the conditions listed above.

Class	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Wirehouse Class	$ 180	$ 1,151	$ 2,128	$ 4,598

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Based on its exposure to the large-cap equity market, the Fund will trade options to try to take advantage of perceived pricing discrepancies in the options market. The Advisor identifies these trading opportunities by analyzing expected or implied volatility levels. The market price of an option is partially based on the expected volatility, or potential variation in price over time, of its underlying asset. The Advisor attempts to take the advantage of differences between the volatility implied by one's option's price and that of another. By analyzing the implied and forecasted volatilities of various option contracts, and comparing these levels to the implied and forecasted volatilities of correlated securities, the Advisor attempts to identify situations where one option is relatively overvalued and another is relatively undervalued. The Advisor then may establish a long position in a "cheap" or "fair value" option and a short position by selling the "expensive" option. The Advisor may also employ other option trading strategies that may benefit from the relative richness or cheapness of option prices or establish a position that is intended to achieve a similar result through a combination of long and short positions on call and put options.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

Risks from Writing Options. Writing option contracts can result in losses that exceed the Fund's initial investment and may lead to additional turnover and higher tax liability. The risk involved in writing a call option is that there could be an increase in the market value of the security. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be sold by the Fund at a lower price than its current market value or in the case of cash settled options, the Fund would be required to purchase the option at a price that is higher than the original sales price for such option. Similarly, while writing call options can reduce the risk of owning stocks, such a strategy limits the opportunity of the Fund to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option. The risk involved in writing a put option is that there could be a decrease in the market value of the underlying security. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be sold to the Fund at a higher price than its current market value or in the case of cash settled options, the Fund would be required to purchase the option at a price that is higher than the original sales price for such option.

Trading Strategies Based on Expected/Implied Volatility. Trading strategies based on expected/implied volatility require successful monitoring, modeling, and interpretation of market conditions. Factors other than volatility influence the value of an option and may impact the trading strategy, including changes to the price of the underlying security, the time to expiration, the interest rate, and the dividend rate of the underlying security. Trading opportunities may be short-lived or limited as a result of a low trading volume in certain exchange-traded options, in which cases the Fund may be required to hold elevated cash balances. Transaction costs and taxes may have a significant impact on the profitability of these trading strategies.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, STRATEGIES, AND RISKS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY

As a matter of investment policy, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in a portfolio of securities whose value is based on companies with market capitalizations that qualify them as "large-cap" companies. This policy may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60-days' prior notice to shareholders. The Advisor considers a company to be a "large cap" company if its market capitalization falls within the range of market capitalizations of companies included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. While t he Fund typically invests in common stocks, ETFs, futures contracts, and options , it has the ability to invest in other types of equity securities such as preferred stocks and warrants that satisfy the Fund's investment criteria.

A portion of the Fund's assets will be invested in securities that track the performance of the U.S. large-cap equity market. These securities include ETFs , options and futures contracts based on broad-based market indexes, like the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. These securities may also include a group of common stocks that the Advisor believes will track the performance of the large-cap equity market. At times, a relatively high percentage of this portion of the portfolio may be invested in a single ETF or a limited number of ETFs that track broad-based market indexes. Securities will be selected based upon their ability to provide exposure to the large-cap equity market. The percentage of the Fund invested in these securities will change from time to time as the Advisor deems appropriate based on its analysis and allocation models.

Based on its exposure to the large-cap equity market, the Fund will trade options to try to take advantage of perceived pricing discrepancies in the options market. The Advisor identifies these trading opportunities by analyzing expected or implied volatility levels. The market price of an option is partially based on the expected volatility, or potential variation in price over time, of its underlying asset. The Advisor attempts to take the advantage of differences between the volatility implied by one's option's price and that of another. By analyzing the implied and forecasted volatilities of various option contracts, and comparing these levels to the implied and forecasted volatilities of correlated securities, the Advisor attempts to identify situations where one option is relatively overvalued and another is relatively undervalued. The Advisor then may establish a long position in a "cheap" or "fair value" option and a short position by selling the "expensive" option. The Advisor may also employ other option trading strategies that may benefit from the relative richness or cheapness of option prices or establish a position that is intended to achieve a similar result through a combination of long and short positions on call and put options.

A futures contract calls for delivery of an asset or its cash value for a set price in the future. A stock index futures contract requires a cash settlement based on the value of a particular stock index. Changes in the value of the stock index are reflected in the market value of the futures contract.

In selecting the options that the Fund will trade, the Advisor first identifies exchange-traded options with a trading volume sufficient to preclude the Fund's trades from influencing prices. The Advisor also allocates a portion of the Fund's assets to cash or cash equivalents, including money-market instruments and money-market mutual funds.

Writing Options. As the seller, or writer, of options, the Fund receives a premium from the purchaser. For example, the purchaser of a call option on an individual security, like an ETF or stock, has the right to buy the security at a fixed price (the "exercise price") on or before a certain date in the future (the "expiration date"). If the purchaser does not exercise the call option, the Fund retains the premium. If the purchaser exercises the call option, the Fund is required to deliver the underlying security. If the Fund does not own the underlying security, then it may be required to purchase the security in order to meet the delivery requirements of the option contract. The premium, the exercise price, and the value of the security determine the gain or loss realized by the Fund as the seller of a call option. The Fund can also repurchase the call option prior to the expiration date, ending its obligation. In contrast to a call option, when the Fund sells a put option, it receives a premium and may be required to buy the underlying security from the purchaser. Index options are settled with cash and do not involve the actual delivery of the underlying securities. Upon exercise, the Fund pays the purchaser the difference between the value of the index and the exercise price of the option.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

Futures Risk. The Fund's use of stock index futures contracts may cause the value of the Fund's shares may be more volatile. Futures contracts exposethe Fund to leverage and tracking risks because a small investment in futures contracts may produce large losses and futures contracts may not accurately track the underlying securities. Changes in the value of futures contracts may not track or correlate perfectly with the underlying index because of temporary, or even long-term, supply and demand imbalances and because futures do not pay dividends unlike the stocks upon which they are based. When the Fund invests in futures, the Fund will comply with the applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the guidance of no-action letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Investment Company Act Release No. 10666 (Apr. 18, 1979).

Risks from Writing Options. Writing option contracts can result in losses that exceed the Fund's initial investment and may lead to additional turnover and higher tax liability. The risk involved in writing a call option is that there could be an increase in the market value of the security. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be sold by the Fund at a lower price than its current market value or in the case of cash settled options, the Fund would be required to purchase the option at a price that is higher than the original sales price for such option. Similarly, while writing call options can reduce the risk of owning stocks, such a strategy limits the opportunity of the Fund to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option. The risk involved in writing a put option is that there could be a decrease in the market value of the underlying security. If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be sold to the Fund at a higher price than its current market value or in the case of cash settled options, the Fund would be required to purchase the option at a price that is higher than the original sales price for such option.

There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position. Where a position in a written option is used as a hedge against price movements in a related position, the price of the option may move more or less than the price of the related position. When the Fund writes options , the Fund will comply with the applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the guidance of no-action letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Investment Company Act Release No. 10666 (Apr. 18, 1979).

NON-PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings. The Fund will seek to make portfolio holdings information available at the following website, http://www.ncfunds.com, 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter. To reach this information, select the link "Fund Search" found in the top right-hand corner of the home page. Search for the Fund using key words such as "Arin" and then select the link for the Arin Large Cap Theta Fund on the Fund Search Results page. Under the section entitled "Portfolio Holdings," there will be a link to the list of the Fund's complete portfolio holdings entitled "Click To View." This information is generally posted to the website within ten days of the end of each calendar month and remains available until new information for the next calendar month is posted. A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of portfolio securities can be found in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available from the Fund or on the SEC's web site, www.sec.gov.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

The Fund's investment advisor is Arin Risk Advisors, LLC, 200 Four Falls Corporate Center, Suite 211, Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428 -2980 . The Advisor was established in 2009 and is registered as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Subject to the authority of the Trustees and pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreements with the Trust, the Advisor provides a program of continuous supervision of the Fund's assets, including developing the composition of its portfolio, and furnishes advice and recommendations with respect to investments, investment policies, and the purchase and sale of securities. The Advisor is also responsible for the selection of broker-dealers through which the Fund executes portfolio transactions, subject to the brokerage policies established by the Trustees, and it provides certain executive personnel to the Fund.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed on a day-to-day basis by Lawrence Lempert and Joseph DeSipio.

Disclosure Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts. A discussion regarding the Trustees' basis for approving the investment advisory contracts for the Fund can be found, once available, in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016. You may obtain a copy of the annual report, once available, upon request to the Fund.

The Fund has adopted a plan of distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Distribution Plan"). Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Fund compensates the Distributor with assets attributable to the Wirehouse Class Shares for services rendered and expenses borne in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale or the servicing of those shares (this compensation is commonly referred to as "12b-1 fees"). These activities include, among others, reimbursement to entities for providing distribution and shareholder servicing with respect to the Fund's shares.

The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund may annually pay the Distributor up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to its Wirehouse Class Shares. The 1.00% fee for the Wirehouse Class Shares is comprised of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.75% distribution fee. Because the 12b-1 fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, these fees, over time, will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales loads.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON EXPENSES

The Prospectus describes the Fund's investment objective and principal investment strategy, as well as the principal investment risks of the Fund. The following descriptions and policies supplement these descriptions, and also include descriptions of certain types of investments that may be made by the Fund but are not principal investment strategies of the Fund. Attached to the Statement of Additional Information is Appendix A, which contains descriptions of the rating symbols used by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations for securities in which the Fund may invest.

General Investment Risks. All investments in securities and other financial instruments involve a risk of financial loss. No assurance can be given that the Fund's investment program will be successful. Investors should carefully review the descriptions of the Fund's investments and their risks described in the Fund's prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information.

Equity Securities. The Fund may invest in equity securities, both directly and indirectly through the Fund's investment in shares of other investment companies. The equity portion of the Fund's portfolio may be comprised of common stocks traded on domestic securities exchanges or on the over-the-counter market. In addition to common stocks, the equity portion of the Fund's portfolio may also include preferred stocks, convertible preferred stocks, and convertible bonds. Prices of equity securities in which the Fund invests (either directly or indirectly through the Fund's investment in shares of other investment companies) 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 decline.

Investment Companies. The Fund may invest in securities of other investment companies, including, without limitation, money market funds, closed-end funds, and exchange traded funds. The Fund's investments in such securities involve certain additional expenses and certain tax results, which would not be present in a direct investment in the underlying fund. Due to legal limitations, the Fund will be prevented from: (i) purchasing more than 3% of an investment company's (including ETFs) outstanding shares; (ii) investing more than 5% of the Fund's assets in any single such investment company, and (iii) investing more than 10% of the Fund's assets in investment companies overall; unless: (a) the underlying investment company and/or the applicable Fund has received an order for exemptive relief from such limitations from the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (b) the underlying investment company and the Fund take appropriate steps to comply with any conditions in such order. In the alternative, the Fund may rely on Section 12(d)(1)(F) of the 1940 Act, which allows unaffiliated mutual funds to exceed the 5% limitation and the 10% limitation, provided that the offering price of the Fund does not include a sales load greater than 1.5%. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Fund, in reliance on Rule 12d1-3 under the 1940 Act, may impose a sales charge in excess of 1.5% where the aggregate sales loads any investor pays (i.e., the combined distribution expenses of both the acquiring fund and the acquired fund) does not exceed the limits on sales loads established by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority pursuant to NASD Rule 2830(d)(3). 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 by the Fund in other investment companies entail a number of risks unique to a fund of funds structure. These risks include the following:

Multiple Layers of Fees. By investing in other investment companies indirectly through the Fund, prospective investors will directly bear the fees and expenses of the Fund's Advisor and indirectly bear the fees and expenses of other investment companies and other investment companies' managers as well. As such, this multiple or duplicative layer of fees will increase the cost of investments in the Fund.

Lack of Transparency. The Advisor will not be able to monitor the investment activities of the other investment companies on a continuous basis and the other investment companies may use investment strategies that differ from its past practices and are not fully disclosed to the Advisor and that involve risks that are not anticipated by the Advisor. The Fund has no control over the risks taken by the underlying investment companies in which they invest.

Valuation of Investment Companies. Although the Advisor will attempt to review the valuation procedures used by other investment companies' managers, the Advisor will have little or no means of independently verifying valuations of the Fund's investments in investment companies and valuations of the underlying securities held by other investment companies. As such, the Advisor will rely significantly on valuations of other investment companies and the securities underlying other investment companies that are reported by other investment companies' managers. In the event that such valuations prove to be inaccurate, the NAV of the Fund could be adversely impacted and an investor could incur a loss of investment in the Fund.

Illiquidity of Investments By and In Other Investment Companies. Other investment companies may invest in securities that are not registered, are subject to legal or other restrictions on transfer, or for which no liquid market exists. The market prices, if any, for such securities tend to be volatile and restricted securities may sell at prices that are lower than similar securities that are not subject to legal restrictions on resale. Further, the Fund may not be able to redeem their interests in other investment companies' securities that it has purchased in a timely manner. If adverse market conditions were to develop during any period in which the Fund is unable to redeem interests in other investment companies, the Fund may suffer losses as a result of this illiquidity. As such, the lack of liquidity and volatility of restricted securities held by other investment companies could adversely affect the value of the other investment companies. Any such losses could adversely affect the value of the Fund's investments and an investor could incur a loss of investment in the Fund.

Lack of Control. Although the Fund and the Advisor will evaluate regularly other investment companies to determine whether their investment programs are consistent with the Fund's investment objective, the Advisor will not have any control over the investments made by other investment companies. Even though other investment companies are subject to certain constraints, the investment advisor to each such investment company may change aspects of their investment strategies at any time. The Advisor will not have the ability to control or influence the composition of the investment portfolio of other investment companies.

Lack of Diversification. There is no requirement that the underlying investments held by other investment companies be diversified. As such, other investment companies' managers may target or concentrate other investment companies' investments in specific markets, sectors, or types of securities. As a result, investments made by other investment companies are subject to greater volatility as a result of this concentration than if the other investment companies had non-concentrated and diversified portfolios of investments. Thus, the Fund's portfolios (and by extension the value of an investment in the Fund) may therefore be subject to greater risk than the portfolio of a similar fund with investments in diversified investment companies.

Use of Leverage. The other investment companies may utilize leverage (i.e., borrowing) to acquire their underlying portfolio investments. When other investment companies borrow money or otherwise leverage their portfolio of investments, doing so may exaggerate changes in the net asset value of the shares of the other investment companies and in the return on the other investment companies' investments. Borrowing will also cost other investment companies interest expense and other fees. As such, the value of the Fund's investments in other investment companies may be more volatile and all other risks (including the risk of loss of an investment in other investment companies) tend to be compounded or magnified. As a result, any losses suffered by other investment companies as a result of their use of leverage could adversely affect the value of the Fund's investments and an investor could incur a loss of investment in the Fund.

Exchange Traded Funds. The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETF"). An ETF is an investment company that holds a portfolio of common stock or bonds designed to track the performance of a securities index or sector of an index. 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). In addition, all ETFs will have costs and expenses that will be passed on to the Fund and these costs and expenses will in turn increase the Fund's expenses. 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 Fund's net asset values; (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. Finally, there may be legal limitations and other conditions imposed by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission on the amount of the ETF shares that the Fund may acquire.

Fixed-Income Securities. The Fund may invest in fixed-income securities directly or indirectly through its investments in shares of ETFs, including government and corporate bonds, money market instruments, high yield securities or "junk bonds" and zero-coupon bonds. Zero-coupon bonds are purchased at a discount from their face values and accrue interest at the applicable coupon rate over a period of time. Fixed-income securities purchased by the Fund may consist of obligations of any rating. Fixed-income securities in the lowest investment grade categories have speculative characteristics, with changes in the economy or other circumstances more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the bonds to make principal and interest payments than would occur with bonds rated in higher categories. High yield bonds are typically rated below "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or below "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or below investment grade by other recognized rating agencies. The Fund may invest in unrated securities, but only if, at the time of purchase, the Advisor believes that they are of comparable quality to rated securities that the Fund may purchase. The Fund may also invest indirectly in unrated securities through ETFs and other investment companies that invest in unrated securities under certain circumstances. Such bonds are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated bonds for a variety of reasons, including:

Sensitivity to Interest Rate and Economic Change. The economy and interest rates affect high yield securities differently than other securities. For example, the prices of high yield bonds have been found to be less sensitive to interest rate changes than higher-rated investments, but more sensitive to adverse economic changes or individual corporate developments. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest obligations, to meet projected business goals, and to obtain additional financing. If the issuer of a bond defaults, an underlying mutual fund may incur additional expenses to seek recovery. In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility or market prices of high yield bonds and the Fund's asset values.

Payment Expectations. High yield bonds present certain risks based on payment expectations. For example, high yield bonds may contain redemption and call provisions. If an issuer exercises these provisions in a declining interest rate market, the Fund or an ETF the Fund invests in would have to replace the security with a lower yielding security, resulting in a decreased return for investors. Conversely, a high yield bond's value will decrease in a rising interest rate market, as will the value of the Fund's or ETF's assets. If the Fund or an ETF the Fund invests in experiences unexpected net redemptions, it may be forced to sell its high yield bonds without regard to their investment merits, thereby decreasing the asset base upon which the Fund's or ETF's expenses can be spread and possibly reducing the Fund's or ETF's rate of return.

Liquidity and Valuation. To the extent that there is no established retail secondary market, there may be thin trading of high yield bonds, and this may impact a fund's ability to accurately value high yield bonds and may hinder a fund's ability to dispose of the bonds. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the values and liquidity of high yield bonds, especially in a thinly traded market.

Credit Ratings. Credit ratings evaluate the safety of principal and interest payments, not the market value risk of high yield bonds. Also, because credit rating agencies may fail to timely change the credit ratings to reflect subsequent events, the Fund or an ETF the Fund invests in must monitor the issuers of high yield bonds in their portfolios to determine if the issuers will have sufficient cash flow and profits to meet required principal and interest payments, and to assure the bonds' liquidity so the Fund or an ETF the Fund invests in can meet redemption requests.

High-yield securities are deemed speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal over a long period of time. Special tax considerations are associated with investing in high-yield securities structured as zero coupon or "pay-in-kind" securities. The Fund or an ETF the Fund invests in will report the interest on these securities as income even though it receives no cash interest until the security's maturity or payment date. The payment of principal and interest on most fixed-income securities purchased by a fund will depend upon the ability of the issuers to meet their obligations. An issuer's obligations under its fixed-income securities are subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, such as the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and laws, if any, which may be enacted by federal or state legislatures extending the time for payment of principal or interest, or both, or imposing other constraints upon enforcement of such obligations. The power or ability of an issuer to meet its obligations for the payment of interest on, and principal of, its fixed-income securities may be materially adversely affected by litigation or other conditions.

The ratings of S&P, Moody's and other nationally recognized rating agencies represent their opinions as to the quality of fixed-income securities. It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality, and fixed-income securities with the same maturity, interest rate, and rating may have different yields while fixed-income securities of the same maturity and interest rate with different ratings may have the same yield. For a more detailed description of ratings, please see Appendix A.

Money Market Instruments. The Fund may invest in money market instruments including U.S. Government obligations or corporate debt obligations (including those subject to repurchase agreements) provided that they are eligible for purchase by the Fund. Money market instruments also may include Banker's Acceptances and Certificates of Deposit of domestic branches of U.S. banks, Commercial Paper, and Variable Amount Demand Master Notes ("Master Notes"). Banker's Acceptances are time drafts drawn on and "accepted" by a bank. When a bank "accepts" such a time draft, it assumes liability for its payment. When the Fund acquires a Banker's Acceptance, the bank that "accepted" the time draft is liable for payment of interest and principal when due. The Banker's Acceptance 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 will invest in Commercial Paper only if it is rated in one of the top two rating categories by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, or Fitch Investors Service, Inc., or if not rated, of equivalent quality in the Advisor's opinion. Commercial Paper may include Master Notes of the same quality. Master Notes are unsecured obligations that are redeemable upon demand of the holder and that 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 Advisor will monitor, on a continuous basis, the earnings power, cash flow, and other liquidity ratios of the issuer of a Master Note held by the Fund.

U.S. Government Securities. The Fund may invest in U.S. Government securities, defined to be (i) U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bonds, U.S. Treasury bills, and other U.S. Government obligations; (ii) obligations of the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and other U.S. Government sponsored entities that are guaranteed by the U.S. Government; and (iii) obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB), Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), Student Loan Marketing Association (SLMA), The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and other U.S. Government authorities, agencies, and instrumentalities. While obligations of some U.S. Government sponsored entities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government (e.g. GNMA), others are not. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities in the future since it is not obligated to do so by law. The guarantee of the U.S. Government does not extend to the yield or value of the Fund's shares.

Debentures. A debenture is long-term, unsecured, debt instrument backed only by the integrity of the borrower, not by collateral, and documented by an indenture. Governments often issue debentures, in part because they generally cannot guarantee debt with assets (government assets are public property). The primary risk with this type of investment is that the issuer will default or go into bankruptcy. As an unsecured creditor, in the event of default or bankruptcy, the holder of a debenture does not have a claim against any specific assets of the issuing firm, so the investor will only be paid from the issuer's assets after the secured creditors have been paid. The Fund may invest in all types of debentures, including corporate and government debentures.

Derivative Instruments Risk. W hen the Fund enters into short sales, options, futures, and other forms of financial derivatives, such as foreign exchange contracts, the investments involve risks different from direct investments in the underlying securities . While transactions in derivatives may reduce certain risks, these transactions themselves entail certain other risks. For example, unanticipated changes in expected future volatility, interest rates, securities prices, or currency exchange rates may result in a poorer overall performance of the Fund than if they had not entered into any derivatives transactions. Derivatives may magnify the Fund's gains or losses, causing it to make or lose substantially more than it invested. When the Fund invests in short sales, options, futures, and other forms of financial derivatives, the Fund will comply with the applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the guidance of no-action letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Investment Company Act Release No. 10666 (Apr. 18, 1979).

When used for hedging purposes, increases in the value of the securities the Fund holds or intends to acquire may offset any losses incurred with a derivative. Purchasing derivatives for purposes other than hedging could expose the Fund to greater risks.

The Fund's ability to hedge securities through derivatives depends on the degree to which price movements in the underlying index or instrument correlate with price movements in the relevant securities. In the case of poor correlation, the price of the securities the Fund is hedging may not move in the same amount, or even in the same direction as the hedging instrument. The Advisor will try to minimize this risk by investing only in those contracts whose behavior it expects to resemble with the portfolio securities it is trying to hedge. However, if the Fund's prediction of interest and currency rates, market value, expected future volatility, or other economic factors is incorrect, the Fund may lose money, or may not make as much money as it expected.

Derivative prices can diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the characteristics of the underlying instruments are very similar to the derivative. Listed below are some of the factors that may cause such a divergence:

·	current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in expected future volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract;

·	a difference between the derivatives and securities markets, including different levels of demand, how the instruments are traded, the imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading of an instrument stops; and

·	differences between the derivatives, such as different margin requirements, different liquidity of such markets, and the participation of speculators in such markets.

Derivatives based upon a narrow index of securities may present greater risk than derivatives based on a broad index. Since narrower indices are made up of a smaller number of securities, they may be more susceptible to rapid and extreme price fluctuations because of changes in the value of those securities.

While currency futures and options values are expected to correlate with exchange rates, they may not reflect other factors that affect the value of the investments of the Fund. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a yen-denominated security from a decline in the yen, but will not protect the Fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of the Fund's foreign-denominated investments , if any, changes in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the Fund's investments precisely over time.

Before a futures contract or option is exercised or expires, the Fund can terminate it only by entering into a closing purchase or sale transaction. Moreover, in some cases, the Fund may close out a futures contract only on the exchange the contract was initially traded. Although the Fund intends to purchase options and futures only where there appears to be an active market, there is no guarantee that such a liquid market will exist. If there is no secondary market for the contract, or the market is illiquid, the Fund may not be able to close out a position. In an illiquid market, the Fund may:

·	have to sell securities to meet its daily margin requirements at a time when it is disadvantageous to do so;

·	have to purchase or sell the instrument underlying the contract;

·	not be able to hedge its investments; and

·	not be able to realize profits or limit its losses.

Derivatives may become illiquid (i.e., difficult to sell at a desired time and price) under a variety of market conditions. For example:

·	an exchange may suspend or limit trading in a particular derivative instrument, an entire category of derivatives, or all derivatives, which sometimes occurs because of increased market volatility;

·	unusual or unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal operations of an exchange;

·	the facilities of the exchange may not be adequate to handle current trading volume;

·	equipment failures, government intervention, insolvency of a brokerage firm or clearing house, or other occurrences may disrupt normal trading activity; or

·	investors may lose interest in a particular derivative or category of derivatives.

If the Advisor incorrectly predicts securities market , expected future volatility or interest rate trends, the Fund may lose money by investing in derivatives. For example, if the Fund were to write a call option based on the Advisor's expectation that the price of the underlying security would fall, but the price were to rise instead, the Fund could be required to sell the security upon exercise at a price below the current market price. Similarly, if the Fund were to write a put option based on the Advisor's expectation that the price of the underlying security would rise, but the price were to fall instead, the Fund could be required to purchase the security upon exercise at a price higher than the current market price.

Because of the low margin deposits required upon the opening of a derivative position, such transactions may involve an extremely high degree of leverage. Consequently, a relatively small price movement in a derivative may result in an immediate and substantial loss (as well as gain) to the Fund and they may lose more than it originally invested in the derivative.

If the price of a futures contract changes adversely, the Fund may have to sell securities at a time when it is disadvantageous to do so to meet its minimum daily margin requirement. The Fund may lose margin deposits if a broker with whom they have an open futures contract or related option becomes insolvent or declares bankruptcy.

The prices of derivatives are volatile (i.e., they may change rapidly, substantially, and unpredictably) and are influenced by a variety of factors, including:

·	actual and anticipated changes in interest rates;

·	fiscal and monetary policies; and

·	national and international political events.

Most exchanges limit the amount by which the price of a derivative can change during a single trading day. Daily trading limits establish the maximum amount that the price of a derivative may vary from the settlement price of that derivative at the end of trading on the previous day. Once the price of a derivative reaches this value, the Fund may not trade that derivative at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movements during a given day and does not limit potential gains or losses. Derivative prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days, preventing prompt liquidation of the derivative.

Options . The Fund will purchase and sell/ write call and put options on securities. The purchase and writing of options involves certain risks. During the option period, a call writer that holds the underlying security has, in return for the premium on the option, given up the opportunity to profit from a price increase in the underlying securities above the exercise price, but, as long as its obligation as a writer continues, has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as a writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying securities at the exercise price. If a put or call option purchased by the Fund is not sold when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying security, in the case of a put, remains equal to or greater than the exercise price or, in the case of a call, remains less than or equal to the exercise price, the Fund will lose its entire investment in the option. Also, where a put or call option on a particular security is purchased to hedge against price movements in a related security, the price of the put or call option may move more or less than the price of the related security. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position. Furthermore, if trading restrictions or suspensions are imposed on the options market, the Fund may be unable to close out a position.

The Fund may write a call or put option only if the option is "covered" by holding a position in the underlying securities or by other means which would permit immediate satisfaction of the Fund's obligation as writer of the option. A written call option creates a potential obligation to sell the underlying security. In order to make sure that this obligation can be met, the Fund could (i) hold the security underlying the written option; (ii) hold an offsetting call option (one with a strike price that is the same or lower than the strike price of the written option); or (iii) segregate cash and liquid securities (which can be cash, U.S. Government securities, and other liquid debt or equity securities) that when added to collateral on deposit equals the market value of the underlying security. A written put option creates a potential obligation to buy the underlying security. In order to make sure that this obligation can be met, the Fund could (i) sell short the underlying security at the same or higher price than the strike price of the written put option; (ii) hold an offsetting put option (one with a strike price that is the same or higher than the strike price of the written option); or (iii) segregate cash and liquid securities that when added to collateral on deposit equals the strike price of the option.

Futures Contracts. The Fund may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is a bilateral agreement to buy or sell a security (or deliver a cash settlement price, in the case of a contract relating to an index or otherwise not calling for physical delivery at the end of trading in the contracts) for a set price in the future. Futures contracts are designated by boards of trade that have been designated "contracts markets" by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). No purchase price is paid or received when the contract is entered into. Instead, the Fund, upon entering into a futures contract (and to maintain the Fund's open positions in futures contracts), would be required to deposit with its custodian in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, suitable money market instruments, or liquid, high-grade debt securities, known as "initial margin." The margin required for a particular futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded, and may be significantly modified from time to time by the exchange during the term of the contract. Futures contracts are customarily purchased and sold on margin that may range upward from less than 5% of the value of the contract being traded. By using futures contracts as a risk management technique, given the greater liquidity in the futures market than in the cash market, it may be possible to accomplish certain results more quickly and with lower transaction costs.

If the price of an open futures contract changes (by increase in the case of a sale or by decrease in the case of a purchase) so that the loss on the futures contract reaches a point at which the margin on deposit does not satisfy margin requirements, the broker will require an increase in the margin. However, if the value of a position increases because of favorable price changes in the futures contract so that the margin deposit exceeds the required margin, the broker will pay the excess to the Fund. These subsequent payments, called "variation margin," to and from the futures broker, are made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying assets fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as "marking to the market." The Fund is expected to earn interest income on initial and variation margin deposits.

The Fund will incur brokerage fees when it purchases and sells futures contracts. Positions taken in the futures markets are not normally held until delivery or cash settlement is required, but are instead liquidated through offsetting transactions that may result in a gain or a loss. While futures positions taken by the Fund will usually be liquidated in this manner, the Fund may instead make or take delivery of underlying securities whenever it appears economically advantageous for the Fund to do so. A clearing organization associated with the exchange on which futures are traded assumes responsibility for closing out transactions and guarantees that as between the clearing members of an exchange, the sale and purchase obligations will be performed with regard to all positions that remain open at the termination of the contract.

In addition to the margin restrictions discussed above, transactions in futures contracts may involve the segregation of funds pursuant to requirements imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under those requirements, where the Fund has a long position in a futures contract, it may be required to establish a segregated account (not with a futures commission merchant or broker) containing cash or certain liquid assets equal to the purchase price of the contract (less any margin on deposit). However, segregation of assets is not required if the Fund "covers" a long position. For a short position in futures or forward contracts held by the Fund, those requirements may mandate the establishment of a segregated account (not with a futures commission merchant or broker) with cash or certain liquid assets that, when added to the amounts deposited as margin, equal the market value of the instruments underlying the futures contracts (but are not less than the price at which the short positions were established).

The Advisor has filed a notice with the National Futures Association claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to the Fund's operation. Accordingly, the Fund is not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator.

Short Sales. The Fund may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which the Fund sells a security it does not own or have the right to acquire (or that it owns but does not wish to deliver) in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. When the Fund makes a short sale, the broker-dealer through which the short sale is made must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the party purchasing the security. The Fund is required to make a margin deposit in connection with such short sales; the Fund may have to pay a fee to borrow particular securities and will often be obligated to pay over any dividends and accrued interest on borrowed securities.

If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time the Fund covers the short position, the Fund will incur a loss; conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a capital gain. Any gain will be decreased, and any loss increased, by the transaction costs described above. The successful use of short selling may be adversely affected by imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the security sold short and the securities being hedged.

If the Fund does sell "short", the Fund will comply with current guidance from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding asset coverage requirements, including Investment Company Act Release No. 10666 (Apr. 18, 1979). In particular, the Fund will take measures to ensure its obligation to purchase the security in the future will be met, including (i) holding the security sold short; (ii) holding an offsetting call option (one with a strike price that is the same or lower than the price at which the security was sold short); or (iii) segregating liquid assets (which can be cash, U.S. Government securities, and other liquid debt or equity securities) on the Fund's books or in a segregated account at the Fund's custodian in an amount sufficient to cover the current value of the securities to be replaced as well as any dividends, interest, and transaction costs due to the broker-dealer lender. In determining the amount to be segregated, any securities that have been sold short by the Fund will be marked to market daily. To the extent the market price of the securities sold short increases and more assets are required to meet the Fund's short sale obligations, additional assets will be segregated to ensure adequate coverage of the Fund's short position obligations. If the Fund does not have the assets to cover a short sale, then the Fund's potential losses on the short will be unlimited because the security's price may appreciate indefinitely.

Liquidity Impact of Margin and Segregation Requirements. Although the Fund will segregate cash and liquid assets in an amount sufficient to cover its open obligations with respect to written options, futures contracts, and short sales, as well as other instruments as applicable, the segregated assets will be available to the Fund immediately upon closing out the positions, while settlement of securities transactions could take several days. However, because the Fund's cash that may otherwise be invested would be held uninvested or invested in other liquid assets so long as the position remains open, the Fund's return could be diminished due to the opportunity losses of foregoing other potential investments.

Swaps. The Fund may invest in currency, equity, interest rate, index and other swaps, which involve the exchange by an investor with another party of their respective commitments, in an attempt to obtain a particular return when it is considered desirable to do so, possibly at a lower cost than if the Fund had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. In the case of interest rate swaps, an investor may exchange with another party their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, such as an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments. Use of swaps subjects the investor to risk of default by the counterparties. If there is a default by the counterparty to such a transaction, there may be contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction although contractual remedies may not be sufficient in the event that the counterparty to the transaction is insolvent. The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid in comparison with the markets for other similar instruments which are traded in the interbank market. An investor may also enter into currency swaps or other swaps which are similar to interest rate swaps but may be surrogates for other instruments such as currency forwards or options.

Forward Commitment and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis or for settlement at a future date if the Fund holds sufficient assets to meet the purchase price. In such purchase transactions, the Fund will not accrue interest on the purchased security until the actual settlement. Similarly, if a security is sold for a forward date, the Fund will accrue the interest until the settlement of the sale. When-issued security purchases and forward commitments have a higher degree of risk of price movement before settlement due to the extended time period between the execution and settlement of the purchase or sale. As a result, the exposure to the counterparty of the purchase or sale is increased. Although the Fund would generally purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis with the intention of taking delivery, the Fund may sell such a security prior to the settlement date if the Advisor feels such action is appropriate. In such a case, the Fund could incur a short-term gain or loss.

Repurchase Agreements. A repurchase transaction occurs when an investor purchases a security (normally a U.S. Treasury obligation), and it then resells it to the vendor (normally a member bank of the Federal Reserve or a registered government securities dealer) and is required to deliver the security (and/or securities substituted for them under the repurchase agreement) to the vendor on an agreed upon date in the future. The repurchase price exceeds the purchase price by an amount which 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 Investment Company Act of 1940, 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 Advisor will consider the creditworthiness of the vendor. If the vendor 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. Repurchase agreements that do not provide for payment within seven days will be treated as illiquid securities.

Illiquid Investments. The Fund may hold up to 15% of net assets in illiquid securities, which are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the prices at which they are valued. This restriction is not limited to the time of purchase. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board" or "Trustees"), the Advisor determines the liquidity of the Fund's investments, and through reports from the Advisor, the Trustees monitor investments in illiquid instruments. In determining the liquidity of the Fund's investments, the Advisor may consider various factors including (i) the frequency of trades and quotations; (ii) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace; (iii) dealer undertakings to make a market; (iv) the nature of the security (including any demand or tender features); and (v) the nature of the marketplace for trades (including the ability to assign or offset the Fund's rights and obligations relating to the investment). 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. Investment in illiquid securities poses risks of potential delays in resale and uncertainty in valuation. Limitations on resale may have an adverse effect on the marketability of portfolio securities and the Fund may be unable to dispose of illiquid securities promptly or at reasonable prices.

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. Restricted securities that can be offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 and are determined to be liquid under guidelines adopted by and subject to the supervision of the Trustees are not subject to the limitations on illiquid securities.

Portfolio Turnover. Portfolio turnover is a ratio that indicates how often the securities in a mutual fund's portfolio change during a year's time. Higher numbers indicate a greater number of changes, and lower numbers indicate a smaller number of changes. The Fund may sell portfolio securities without regard to the length of time they have been held in order to take advantage of new investment opportunities or changing market conditions. Since portfolio turnover may involve paying brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, there could be additional expenses for the Fund. High rates of portfolio turnover could lower performance of the Fund due to increased costs and may also result in the realization of capital gains. If the Fund realizes capital gains when they sell portfolio investments, they must generally distribute those gains to shareholders, increasing their taxable distributions. Under normal circumstances, the anticipated portfolio turnover rate for the Fund is expected to be less than 100%.

Lending of Portfolio Securities. In order to generate additional income, the Fund may lend portfolio securities in an amount up to 33% of total Fund assets to broker-dealers, major banks, or other recognized domestic institutional borrowers of securities which the Advisor has determined are creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. In determining whether the Fund will lend securities, the Advisor will consider all relevant facts and circumstances. The Fund may not lend securities to any company affiliated with the Advisor. Each loan of securities will be collateralized by cash, securities, or equivalent collateral. 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. While the loan is outstanding, the borrower will pay the Fund any 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. 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. Voting rights for loaned securities will typically pass to the borrower, but the Fund will retain the right to call any security in anticipation of a vote that the Advisor deems material to the security on 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.

Securities lending involves counterparty risk, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned or returned in a timely manner and/or a loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower or the lending agent defaults or fails financially. This risk will be increased if a continuation of the current downturn in the economic conditions in the United States and around the world, particularly the recent failures of several major financial services firms, causes further declines in the securities markets and/or causes further financial instability in the borrowers or lending agents. This risk is increased when the Fund's loans are concentrated with a single or limited number of borrowers. There are no limits on the number of borrowers the Fund may use, and the Fund may lend securities to only one or a small group of borrowers. Mutual funds participating in securities lending bear the risk of loss in connection with investments of the cash collateral received from the borrowers, which do not trigger additional collateral requirements from the borrower.

Borrowing. The Fund may borrow money for investment purposes, which is a form of leveraging. Leveraging investments, by purchasing securities with borrowed money, is a speculative technique that increases investment risk while increasing investment opportunity. Such borrowing may make the Fund's NAV more volatile than funds that do not borrow for investment purposes because leverage magnifies changes in the Fund's NAV and on the Fund's investments. Although the principal of borrowings will be fixed, the Fund's assets may change in value during the time the borrowing is outstanding. Leverage also creates interest expenses for the Fund. To the extent the income derived from securities purchased with borrowed funds exceeds the interest the Fund will have to pay, the Fund's net income will be greater than it would be if leverage were not used. Conversely, if the income from the assets obtained with borrowed funds is not sufficient to cover the cost of leveraging, the net income of the Fund will be less than it would be if leverage were not used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to shareholders as dividends will be reduced. The use of derivatives in connection with leverage creates the potential for significant loss. Any leveraging will comply with the applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the guidance of no-action letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Investment Company Act Release No. 10666 (Apr. 18, 1979).

The Fund may also borrow money to meet redemptions or for other emergency purposes. Such borrowings may be on a secured or unsecured basis at fixed or variable rates of interest. The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires the Fund to maintain continuous asset coverage of not less than 300% with respect to all borrowings. If such asset coverage should decline to less than 300% due to market fluctuations or other reasons, the Fund will be required to reduce the amount of its borrowings within three days (not including Sundays and holidays), and may be required to dispose of some of its portfolio holdings in order to reduce the Fund's debt and restore the 300% asset coverage, even though it may be disadvantageous from an investment standpoint to dispose of assets at that time.

The Fund also may be required to maintain minimum average balances in connection with such borrowing or to pay a commitment or other fee to maintain a line of credit. Either of these requirements would increase the cost of borrowing over the stated interest rate.

Borrowing by the Fund creates an opportunity for increased net income, but at the same time, creates special risk considerations. For example, leveraging may exaggerate the effect on NAV of any increase or decrease in the market value of the Fund's portfolio.

Temporary Defensive Positions. The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies in an attempt to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. During such an unusual set of circumstances, the Fund may hold up to 100% of its portfolios in cash or cash equivalent positions (e.g., money market securities, U.S. Government securities, and/or similar securities). When the Fund takes a temporary defensive position, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

The Fund has adopted the following investment limitations, which cannot be changed without approval by holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Fund. A "majority" for this purpose means the lesser of (i) 67% of the Fund's outstanding shares represented in person or by proxy at a meeting at which more than 50% of its outstanding shares are represented; or (ii) more than 50% of its outstanding shares. Unless otherwise indicated, percentage limitations apply at the time of purchase of the applicable securities.

As a matter of fundamental policy, the Fund may not:

(1)	Issue senior securities, except as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(2)

Borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (including, without limitation, borrowing to meet redemptions). For purposes of this investment restriction, the entry into options, forward contracts, futures contracts, including those relating to indices, and options on futures contracts or indices shall not constitute borrowing;

(3)

Pledge, mortgage, or hypothecate its assets, except to the extent necessary to secure permitted borrowings and to the extent related to the deposit of assets in escrow in connection with writing covered put and call options and the purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis and collateral and initial or variation margin arrangements with respect to options, forward contracts, futures contracts, including those relating to indices, and options on futures contracts or indices;

(4)	Act as an underwriter except to the extent that, in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities, the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter under certain federal securities laws;

(5)

Purchase or sell real estate or direct interests in real estate; provided, however, that the Fund may purchase and sell securities which are secured by real estate and securities of companies that invest or deal in real estate (including, without limitation, investments in REITs, mortgage-backed securities, and privately-held real estate funds);

(6)	Invest in commodities, except that the Fund may purchase and sell securities of companies that invest in commodities, options, forward contracts, futures contracts, including those relating to indices and currencies, and options on futures contracts, indices or currencies;

(7)	Make investments for the purpose of exercising control or management over a portfolio company;

(8)	Make loans, 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, and bankers' acceptances;

(9)	Concentrate its investments. The Fund's concentration policy limits the aggregate value of holdings of a single industry or group of industries (except U.S. Government and cash items) to less than 25% of the Fund's total assets; or

(10)

With respect to 75% of its total assets, the Fund may not: (i) purchase 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer; or (ii) purchase securities of any issuer if, as a result, 5% or more of the Fund's total assets would be invested in that issuer's securities. This limitation does not apply to investments in (i) cash and cash items; (ii) securities of other registered investment companies; and (iii) obligations of the United States Government, its agencies, or instrumentalities.

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

The Investment Company Act of 1940 presently allows a fund to borrow from any bank (including pledging, mortgaging or hypothecating assets) in an amount up to 33 1/3% of its total assets (not including temporary borrowings not in excess of 5% of its total assets).

With respect to the fundamental investment restrictions above (other than those involving Permitted Senior Securities and borrowings), 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).

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Subject to the general supervision of the Trustees, the Advisor is responsible for, makes decisions with respect to, and places orders for all purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Fund. The Advisor shall manage the Fund's portfolios in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement by and between the Advisor and the Trust on behalf of the Fund ("Advisory Agreement"), which is described in detail under "Management and Other Service Providers – Investment Advisor." The Advisor serves as investment advisor for a number of client accounts, including the Fund. Investment decisions for the Fund are made independently from those for any other series of the Trust, if any, and for any other investment companies and accounts advised or managed by the Advisor.

Brokerage Selection. The Fund has adopted, and the Trustees have approved, policies and procedures relating to the direction of mutual fund portfolio securities transactions to broker-dealers. The Advisor may not give consideration to sales of shares of the Fund as a factor in selecting broker-dealers to execute portfolio securities transactions. The Advisor may, however, place portfolio transactions with broker-dealers that promote or sell the Fund's shares so long as such transactions are done in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Trustees that are designed to ensure that the selection is based on the quality of the broker's execution and not on its sales efforts. In selecting brokers to be used in portfolio transactions, the Advisor's general guiding principle is to obtain the best overall execution for each trade, which is a combination of price and execution. With respect to execution, the Advisor considers a number of discretionary factors, including, without limitation, the actual handling of the order, the ability of the broker to settle the trade promptly and accurately, the financial standing of the broker, the ability of the broker to position stock to facilitate execution, the Advisor's past experience with similar trades, and other factors that may be unique to a particular order. Recognizing the value of these discretionary factors, the Advisor may select brokers who charge a brokerage commission that is higher than the lowest commission that might otherwise be available for any given trade.

Under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor 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 Advisor may include, without limitation: information on the United States and other world economies; information on specific industries, groups of securities, individual companies, and 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 Advisor to determine and track investment results; and trading systems that allow the Advisor 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 Advisor may also be used by the Advisor 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 Advisor will make a reasonable allocation according to the use and will pay for the non-research function in cash using its own funds.

The research and investment information services described above make available to the Advisor for its analysis and consideration the views and information of individuals and research staffs of other securities firms. These services may be useful to the Advisor in connection with advisory clients other than the Fund and not all such services may be useful to the Advisor in connection with the Fund. Although such information may be a useful supplement to the Advisor's own investment information in rendering services to the Fund, the value of such research and services is not expected to reduce materially the expenses of the Advisor in the performance of its services under the Advisory Agreement and will not reduce the management fees payable to the Advisor by the Fund.

The Fund may invest in securities traded in the over-the-counter market. In these cases, the Fund may initiate trades through brokers on an agency basis and pay a commission in connection with the transaction. The Fund may also effect these transactions by dealing directly with the dealers who make a market in the securities involved, in which case the costs of such transactions would involve dealer spreads rather than brokerage commissions. With respect to securities traded only in the over-the-counter market, orders will be executed on a principal basis with primary market makers in such securities except where better prices or executions may be obtained on an agency basis or by dealing with those other than a primary market maker.

The Fund may participate, if and when practicable, in bidding for the purchase of Fund securities directly from an issuer in order to take advantage of the lower purchase price available to members of a bidding group. The Fund will engage in this practice, however, only when the Advisor, in its sole discretion, believes such practice to be otherwise in the Fund's interest.

For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016, the Fund paid brokerage commissions of $5,338. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015, the Fund paid brokerage commissions of $5,592. For the fiscal period ended February 28, 2014, the Fund paid brokerage commissions of $888.

Aggregated Trades. While investment decisions for the Fund are made independently of the Advisor's other client accounts, the Advisor's other client accounts may invest in the same securities as the Fund. To the extent permitted by law, the Advisor may aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased for the Fund with those to be sold or purchased for other investment companies or accounts in executing transactions. When a purchase or sale of the same security is made at substantially the same time on behalf of the Fund and another investment company or account, the transaction will be averaged as to price and available investments allocated as to amount in a manner which the Advisor believes to be equitable to the Fund and such other investment company or account. In some instances, this investment procedure may adversely affect the price paid or received by the Fund or the size of the position obtained or sold by the Fund.

Portfolio Turnover. The annualized portfolio turnover rate for the Fund is calculated by dividing the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the reporting period by the monthly average value of the portfolio securities owned during the reporting period. The calculation excludes all securities whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition are one year or less. Portfolio turnover of the Fund may vary greatly from year to year as well as within a particular year, and may be affected by cash requirements for redemption of shares and by requirements that enable the Fund to receive favorable tax treatment. Portfolio turnover will not be a limiting factor in making Fund decisions, and the Fund may engage in short-term trading to achieve its investment objectives. High rates of portfolio turnover could lower performance of the Fund due to increased transaction costs and may also result in the realization of short-term capital gains taxed at ordinary income tax rates.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

The Trust, which is a statutory trust organized under Delaware law on May 13, 2009, is an open-end management investment company. The Trust currently consists of eighteen series: the Fund managed by the Advisor; the Arin Large Cap Theta Fund managed by Arin Risk Advisors, LLC; the Cavalier Dividend Income Fund, Cavalier Dynamic Growth Fund, Cavalier Fundamental Growth Fund, Cavalier Global Opportunities Fund, Cavalier Hedged Equity Fund, Cavalier High Income Fund, Cavalier Multi Strategist Fund, Cavalier Stable Income Fund, and Cavalier Tactical Rotation Fund managed by Cavalier Investments; the Goodwood SMID Cap Discovery Fund managed by Goodwood Advisors, LLC; the Matisse Discounted Closed-End Fund Strategy managed by Deschutes Portfolio Strategies; QCI Balanced Fund management by QCI Asset Management, Inc.; the Roumell Opportunistic Value Fund managed by Roumell Asset Management, LLC; the SCS Tactical Allocation Fund managed by Sentinel Capital Solutions, Inc.; the Sector Rotation Fund managed by Grimaldi Portfolio Solutions , Inc.; and the Sirius S&P Strategic Large-Cap Allocation Fund managed by Sirius Funds Advisors, Inc . The shares of the Fund are divided into three classes which are described in the Prospectus: Institutional Class Shares, Advisor Class Shares, and Wirehouse Class Shares (Wirehouse Class Shares are not currently offered). Additional series and/or classes may be created from time to time. The number of shares in the Trust shall be unlimited. When issued for payment as described in the Fund's prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information, shares of the Fund will be fully paid and non-assessable and shall have no preemptive or conversion rights. The Trust normally does not issue share certificates.

In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Trust or an individual series, such as the Fund, shareholders of a particular series would be entitled to receive the assets available for distribution belonging to such series. Shareholders of a series are entitled to participate equally in the net distributable assets of the particular series involved on liquidation, based on the number of shares of the series that are held by each shareholder. If there are any assets, income, earnings, proceeds, funds, or payments that are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular series, the Trustees shall allocate them among any one or more of the series as they, in their sole discretion, deem fair and equitable.

Shareholders of all of the series of the Trust, including the Fund, will vote together and not separately on a series-by-series or class-by-class basis, except as otherwise required by law or when the Trustees determine that the matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a particular series or class. The Trust has adopted a Rule 18f-3 Multi-class Plan for certain series that contain the general characteristics of and conditions under which such series may offer multiple classes of shares. Rule 18f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 provides 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 or any change in a fundamental investment policy would be effectively acted upon with respect to a series only if approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of such series. However, the rule also provides that the ratification of the appointment of independent accountants, the approval of principal underwriting contracts, 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. Rights of shareholders can only be modified by a majority vote.

When used in the Prospectus or this SAI, a "majority" of shareholders means the vote of the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of the Trust or the applicable series or class present at a meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Trust or the applicable series or class.

Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share and a fractional vote for each fractional share held. Shares have non-cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of Trustees can elect 100% of the Trustees, and in this event, the holders of the remaining shares voting will not be able to elect any Trustees.

The Trustees will hold office indefinitely, except that: (i) any Trustee may resign or retire, and (ii) any Trustee may be removed: (a) any time by written instrument signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (b) at any meeting of shareholders of the Trust by a vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trust; or (c) by a written declaration signed by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trust. In case a vacancy on the Board of Trustees shall for any reason exist, the vacancy shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Trustees, subject to certain restrictions under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Otherwise, there will normally be no meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees, and the Trust does not expect to have an annual meeting of shareholders.

The Trust Instrument provides that the Trustees will not be liable in any event in connection with the affairs of the Trust, except as such liability may arise from a Trustee's bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties. 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 Trust Instrument provides that a Trustee or officer is entitled to be indemnified against all liability in connection with the affairs of the Trust.

MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

The Trustees are responsible for the management and supervision of the Fund. The Trustees approve all significant agreements between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and those companies that furnish services to the Fund; review performance of the Advisor and the Fund; and oversee activities of the Fund. This section of the Statement of Additional Information provides information about the persons who serve as Trustees and officers to the Trust and Fund, respectively, as well as the entities that provide services to the Fund.

Board Structure

The Trust's Board of Trustees includes four independent Trustees, one of which, Mr. Speed, is Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The Board has established several standing committees: the Audit Committee, Nominating Committee, Proxy Voting Committee, Governance Committee, and Qualified Legal Compliance Committee. These standing committees are comprised entirely of the Independent Trustees. Other information about these standing committees is set forth below. The Board has determined that the Board's structure is appropriate given the characteristics, size, and operations of the Trust. The Board also believes that its leadership structure, including its committees, helps facilitate effective oversight of Trust management. The Board reviews its structure annually.

With respect to risk oversight, the Board considers risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities throughout the year. The Board holds four regular board meetings each year during which the Board receives risk management reports and/or assessments from Trust management, the Fund's advisor, administrator, transfer agent, and distributor, and receives an annual report from the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"). The Audit Committee also meets with the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm on an annual basis, to discuss among other things, the internal control structure of the Trust's financial reporting function. When appropriate, the Board may hold special meeting or communicate directly with Trust management, the CCO, the Trust's third party service providers, legal counsel, or independent public accountants to address matters arising between regular board meeting or needing special attention.

Qualified Legal Compliance Committee. The Independent Trustees are the current members of the Qualified Legal Compliance Committee.

Codes of Ethics.

There can be no assurance that the codes will be effective in preventing such activities. The codes permit employees and officers of the Trust and Advisor to invest in securities, subject to certain restrictions and pre-approval requirements. In addition, the Advisor's code requires that portfolio managers and other investment personnel of the Advisor report their personal securities transactions and holdings, which are reviewed for compliance with the Trust's and Advisor's code of ethics.

*Deemed a "control person" of the Fund as defined by applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such control may affect the voting rights of other shareholders. For example, persons exercising control will have more ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders to be voted upon.

Investment Advisor. Information about the Advisor, Arin Risk Advisors, LLC, located at 200 Four Falls Corporate Center, Suite 211, Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428, and its duties and compensation as Advisor is contained in the Fund's prospectus. The Advisor is controlled by Joseph DeSipio, Managing Member, and Lawrence Lempert, Chief Compliance Officer. The Advisor supervises the Fund's investments pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. The Advisory Agreement is effective for an initial two-year period and will be renewed thereafter 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 Fund's outstanding voting securities, provided the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or interested persons of any such party. The Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty by the Trust on 60 calendar days' written notice by the Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities or upon 60 calendar days' written notice by the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement provides that it will terminate automatically in the event of its "assignment," as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Advisor manages the Fund's investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund, subject to the approval of the Trustees. The Advisor is responsible for investment decisions, and provides the Fund with portfolio managers who are authorized by the Trustees to execute purchases and sales of securities.

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is not liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the performance of such agreement, except a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services; or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence on the part of the Advisor in the performance of its duties; or from its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under the Advisory Agreement.

The Advisor will receive a monthly management fee equal to an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund's net assets. For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016, the Fund incurred $27,031 in advisory fees, which were recouped to the Administrator to reimburse and cover operational costs of the Fund. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015, the Fund incurred $29,239 in advisory fees, which were recouped to the Administrator to reimburse and cover operational costs of the Fund. For the fiscal period ended February 28, 2014, the Fund incurred $6,368 in advisory fees, which were recouped to the Administrator to reimburse and cover operational costs of the Fund.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolios will be managed on a day-to-day basis by Joseph DeSipio and Lawrence Lempert.

Compensation. The portfolio managers' compensation varies with the general success of the Advisor as a firm. Each portfolio manager's compensation is based on net revenue after all firm expenses and profit sharing. The portfolio managers' compensation is not directly linked to the Fund's performance, although positive performance and growth in managed assets are factors that may contribute to the Advisor's distributable profits and assets under management.

Ownership of Fund Shares. The table below shows the amount of the Fund's equity securities beneficially owned by each portfolio manager as of February 2 9 , 201 6 and stated as one of the following ranges: A = None; B = $1-$10,000; C = $10,001-$50,000; D = $50,001-$100,000; E = $100,001-$500,000; F = $500,001-$1,000,000; and G = over $1,000,000.

Conflicts of Interests. The portfolio manager's management of "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. The other accounts consist of separately managed private clients ("Other Accounts"). The Other Accounts might have similar investment objectives as the Fund, be compared to the same index as the Fund, or otherwise hold, purchase, or sell securities that are eligible to be held, purchased, or sold by the Fund.

Knowledge of the Timing and Size of Fund Trades: A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the portfolio manager's day-to-day management of the Fund. The portfolio manager knows the size and timing of trades for the Fund and the Other Accounts, and may be able to predict the market impact of Fund trades. It is theoretically possible that the portfolio manager could use this information to the advantage of Other Accounts it manages and to the possible detriment of the Fund, or vice versa.

Investment Opportunities: The Advisor provides investment supervisory services for a number of investment products that have varying investment guidelines. The portfolio manager works across different investment products. Differences in the compensation structures of the Advisor's investment products may give rise to a conflict of interest by creating an incentive for the Advisor to allocate the investment opportunities it believes might be the most profitable to the client accounts where it might benefit the most from the investment gains.

Administrator. The Trust has entered into the Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement with The Nottingham Company ("Administrator"), 116 South Franklin Street, Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804. The Administrator assists the Trust in the performance of its administrative responsibilities to the Fund, coordinates and pays for the services of each vendor and the operating expense to the Fund, and provides the Fund with certain administrative, fund accounting, and compliance services. As part of its services and consolidated fee arrangement, the Administrator receives compensation based on the Fund's average daily net assets. The annual rate is 0.280% if the average daily net assets are under $250 million and gradually decreases to an annual rate of 0.192% if the average daily net assets are $2.07 billion or more. The fee paid to the Administrator is calculated by multiplying the average daily net assets of the Fund by the highest applicable annual rate.

In addition, the Advisor has entered into an Operating Plan with the Fund's administrator, through June 30, 2016 under which it has agreed to make payments to the Administrator when the Fund is at lower asset levels and assume certain expenses of the Fund in order to help limit the Fund's operating expenses. The Operating Plan may be terminated by either party at the conclusion of the then current term upon (i) written notice of non-renewal to the other party not less than sixty days prior to the end of the term, or (ii) mutual written agreement of the parties. The Operating Plan can only be terminated prior to the conclusion of the current term with the approval of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Advisor cannot recoup from the Fund any amounts paid by the Advisor to the Administrator under the Operating Plan. In part because of the Advisor's obligations under the Operating Plan, the Trustees review the financial condition of the Advisor, including its stability and profitability, when considering the approval of the Operating Plan.

The Administrator pays all expenses not assumed by the Advisor, including, without limitation: the fees and expenses of its independent accountants and of its legal counsel; the costs of printing and mailing to shareholders annual and semi-annual reports, proxy statements, prospectuses, statements of additional information and supplements thereto; the costs of printing registration statements; bank transaction charges and custodian's fees; any proxy solicitors' fees and expenses; ongoing filing fees; any federal, state or local income or other taxes; any interest; any membership fees of the Investment Company Institute and similar organizations; fidelity bond and Trustees' liability insurance premiums. All of the Fund's service providers, other than the Advisor, are paid by the Administrator.

The Administrator's responsibilities include the following services for the Fund: (i) procures on behalf of the Trust, and coordinates with, the custodian and monitors the services it provides to the Fund; (ii) coordinates with and monitors any other third parties furnishing services to the Fund; (iii) provides the Fund with necessary office space, telephones, and other communications facilities and personnel competent to perform administrative and clerical functions for the Fund; (iv) assists or supervises the maintenance by third parties of such books and records of the Fund as may be required by applicable federal or state law; (v) assists or supervises the preparation by third parties of all federal, state, and local tax returns and reports of the Fund required by applicable law; (vi) assists in the preparation and, after approval by the Trust, files and arranges for the distribution of proxy materials and periodic reports to shareholders of the Fund as required by applicable law; (vii) assists in the preparation of and, after approval by the Trust, arranges for the filing of such registration statements and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other federal and state regulatory authorities as may be required by applicable law; (viii) reviews and submits to the officers of the Trust for their approval invoices or other requests for payment of Fund expenses and instructs the custodian to issue checks in payment thereof; and (ix) takes such other action with respect to the Fund as may be necessary in the opinion of the Administrator to perform its duties under the agreement. The Administrator will also provide certain accounting and pricing services for the Fund.

For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016, the Fund incurred $18,921 in administration fees. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015, the Fund incurred $20,467 in administration fees. For the fiscal period ended February 28, 2014, the Fund incurred $4,457 in administration fees.

Transfer Agent. The Trust has entered into a Dividend Disbursing and Transfer Agent Agreement with Nottingham Shareholder Services, LLC ("Transfer Agent"), a North Carolina limited liability company, to serve as transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For its services, the Transfer Agent is entitled to receive compensation from the Administrator pursuant to the Administrator's fee arrangements with the Fund. The address of the Transfer Agent is 116 South Franklin Street, Post Office Box 4365, Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27803-0365.

Distributor . The Fund will conduct a continuous offering of their securities. Capital Investment Group, Inc. ("Distributor"), 100 E Six Forks Road, Suite 200 , Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 , acts as the underwriter and distributor of the Fund's shares for the purpose of facilitating the registration of shares of the Fund under state securities laws and assisting in sales of Fund shares pursuant to a distribution agreement ("Distribution Agreement") approved by the Trustees. In this regard, the Distributor has agreed at its own expense to qualify as a broker-dealer under all applicable federal or state laws in those states that the Fund shall from time to time identify to the Distributor as states in which the Fund wishes to offer its shares for sale, in order that state registrations may be maintained for the Fund. The Distributor is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a member in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Distributor is entitled to receive an annual fee of $5,000 per Fund for performing certain recordkeeping, communication, and other administrative services for the Fund. Such administrative services shall include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) maintaining records with respect to submissions to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, dealer discounts and brokerage fees and commissions, and selling agreements; (ii) maintaining an account with the National Securities Clearing Corporation's Fund/SERV System for the purpose of processing account registrations, maintaining accounts, and communicating transaction data; (iii) preparing reports for the Board of Trustees as shall be reasonably requested from time to time; and (iv) performing other services for the Trust as agreed to by the Distributor and the Trust from time to time. The Distributor and Trust agree that the services described above are of an administrative nature and such services, as well as the fee provided in connection therewith, are not, nor are they intended to be, payment for marketing and/or distribution services related to, or the promotion of, the sale of the Fund's shares. The Distribution Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 60-days' prior written notice to the other party and will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment. The Distributor serves as exclusive agent for the distribution of the shares of the Fund.

Rule 12b-1 Plan. The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for the Advisor Class Shares and Wirehouse Class Shares of the Fund (the "Plan"). Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund is authorized to pay the Distributor a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.40% of the average daily net assets attributable to its Advisor Class Shares and up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to its Wirehouse Class Shares of the Fund. The 0.40% fee for the Advisor Class Shares is comprised of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.15% distribution fee. The 1.00% fee for the Wirehouse Class Shares is comprised of a 0.25% service fee and a 0.75% distribution fee. Such fees are to be paid by the Fund monthly, or at such other intervals, as the Board shall determine. Such fees shall be based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to the Advisor Class Shares and Wirehouse Class Shares during the preceding month, and shall be calculated and accrued daily. The Fund may pay fees to the Distributor at a lesser rate, as agreed upon by the Board of Trustees of the Trust and the Distributor.

The Plan authorizes payments to the Distributor as compensation for sales and providing account maintenance services to Fund shareholders, including arranging for certain securities dealers or brokers, administrators, and others to provide these services and paying compensation for these services. The Plan compensates the Distributor regardless of its expenses.

The services to be provided by recipients may include, but are not limited to, the following: assistance in the offering and sale of Advisor Class Shares and Wirehouse Class Shares and in other aspects of the marketing of the shares to clients or prospective clients of the respective recipients; answering routine inquiries concerning the Fund; assisting in the establishment and maintenance of accounts or sub-accounts in the Fund and in processing purchase and redemption transactions; making the Fund's investment plan and shareholder services available; and providing such other information and services to investors in Advisor Class Shares and Wirehouse Class Shares of the Fund as the Distributor or the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, may reasonably request. The distribution services shall also include any advertising and marketing services provided by or arranged by the Distributor with respect to the Fund.

The Distributor is required to provide a written report, at least quarterly to the Board of Trustees of the Trust, specifying in reasonable detail the amounts expended pursuant to the Plan and the purposes for which such expenditures were made. Further, the Distributor will inform the Board of any Rule 12b-1 fees to be paid by the Distributor to Recipients.

The initial term of the Plan was one year and will continue in effect from year to year thereafter, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust and do not have a direct or indirect financial interest in the Plan ("Rule 12b-1 Trustees") by votes cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Plan. The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Trust or the Fund by vote of a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Fund's Advisor Class Shares or Wirehouse Class Shares, as applicable.

The Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount of the Distributor's compensation to be paid by a class of shares, unless such amendment is approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Fund's Advisor Class Shares or Wirehouse Class Shares, as applicable. All material amendments must be approved by a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees by votes cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Plan. During the term of the Plan, the selection and nomination of non-interested Trustees of the Trust will be committed to the discretion of current non-interested Trustees. The Distributor will preserve copies of the Plan, any related agreements, and all reports, for a period of not less than six years from the date of such document and for at least the first two years in an easily accessible place.

Any agreement related to the Plan will be in writing and provide that: (a) it may be terminated by the Trust or the Fund at any time upon sixty days' written notice, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the respective Rule 12b-1 Trustees, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund's Advisor Class Shares or Wirehouse Class Shares, as applicable; (b) it will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940); and (c) it will continue in effect for a period of more than one year from the date of its execution or adoption only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a majority of the Board and a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees by votes cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such agreement.

ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION

Reference is made to "Purchasing Shares" and "Redeeming Shares" in the Fund's prospectus for more information concerning how to purchase and redeem shares. The following information supplements the information regarding share purchases and share redemptions in the Fund's prospectus:

Purchases . Shares of the Fund are offered and sold on a continuous basis and may be purchased through authorized investment dealers or directly by contacting the Distributor, or the Fund directly. Selling dealers have the responsibility of transmitting orders promptly to the Fund. The purchase price of shares of the Fund is based on the net asset value next determined after the order is received, subject to the order being received by the Fund in good form. Net asset value is normally determined at the time regular trading closes on the NYSE on days the NYSE is open for regular trading, as described under "Net Asset Value." The net asset value per share of the Fund is not calculated on business holidays when the NYSE is closed. An order received prior to the time regular trading closes on the NYSE will be executed at the price calculated on the date of receipt and an order received after the time regular trading closes on the NYSE will be executed at the price calculated as of that time on the next business day.

The Fund reserves the right in its sole discretion to (i) suspend the offering of its shares; (ii) reject purchase orders when in the judgment of management such rejection is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders; and (iii) reduce or waive the minimum for initial and subsequent investments under circumstances where certain economies can be achieved in sales of Fund shares.

Redemptions . The Fund may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date of payment (i) during any period that the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or that trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission; (ii) during any period when an emergency exists as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities owned by it, or to determine fairly the value of its assets; and (iii) for such other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission may permit. The Fund may also suspend or postpone the recordation of the transfer of shares upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing conditions. Any redemption may be more or less than the shareholder's cost depending on the market value of the securities held by the Fund. No charge is made by the Fund for redemptions other than the possible charge for wiring redemption proceeds.

Involuntary Redemptions . In addition to the situations described in the Fund's prospectus under "Redeeming Fund Shares," the Fund may redeem shares involuntarily to reimburse the Fund for any loss sustained by reason of the failure of a shareholder to make full payment for shares purchased by the shareholder or to collect any charge relating to a transaction effected for the benefit of a shareholder which is applicable to Fund shares as provided in the Fund's prospectus from time to time or to close a shareholder's account if the Fund is unable to verify the shareholder's identity.

Other Information . If an investor realizes a gain on the redemption, the reinvestment will not affect the amount of any federal capital gains tax payable on the gain. If an investor realizes a loss on the redemption, the reinvestment may cause some or all of the loss to be disallowed as a tax deduction, depending on the number of shares purchased by reinvestment and the period of time that has elapsed after the redemption, although for tax purposes, the amount disallowed is added to the cost of the shares acquired upon the reinvestment.

SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

The Fund offers the following special 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 or withdrawals from their account. 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 the reinvestment of a dividend or distribution, the shareholder will receive a confirm-ation statement showing the current transaction and all prior transactions in the shareholder account during the calendar year to date, along with a summary of the status of the account as of the transaction date. As stated in the Fund's prospectus, share certificates are normally not issued.

Automatic Investment Plan. The automatic investment plan enables shareholders to make regular monthly or quarterly investments in shares through automatic charges to their checking account. With shareholder authorization and bank approval, the Administrator will automatically charge the checking account for the amount specified ($100 minimum) which will be automatically invested in shares at the public offering price on or about the 21st day of the month. The shareholder may change the amount of the investment or discontinue the plan at any time by writing to the Fund.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan . Shareholders owning Fund shares of a particular class with a value of $25,000 or more may establish a systematic withdrawal plan ("Systematic Withdrawal Plan"). A shareholder may receive monthly or quarterly payments, in amounts of not less than $100 per payment, by authorizing the Fund to redeem the necessary number of shares periodically (each month, or quarterly) in order to make the payments requested. The Fund has the capability of electronically depositing the proceeds of the systematic withdrawal directly to the shareholders personal bank account ($5,000 minimum per bank wire). Instructions for establishing this service are included in the Fund Shares Application or are available by calling the Fund. If the shareholder prefers to receive his systematic withdrawal proceeds in cash, or if such proceeds are less than the $5,000 minimum for a bank wire, checks will be made payable to the designated recipient and mailed with-in seven days of the valuation date. If the designated recipient is other than the registered shareholder, the signature of each shareholder must be guaranteed on the application (see "Redeeming Shares – Signature Guarantees" in the Fund's prospectus). A corporation (or partnership) must also submit a "Corporate Resolution" (or "Certification of Partnership") indi-cat-ing the names, titles, and required number of signatures auth-orized to act on its behalf. The application must be signed by a duly authori-zed officer and the corporate seal affixed. No redemption fees are charged to shareholders under this plan. Costs in conjunction with the administration of the plan are borne by the Fund. Shareholders should be aware that such systematic withdrawals may deplete or use up entirely their initial investment and may result in real-ized long-term or short-term capital gains or losses. The Systematic Withdrawal Plan may be terminated at any time by the Fund upon 60-days' written notice or by a shareholder upon written notice to the Fund. Applications and further details may be obtained by calling the Fund at 1-800-773-3863 or by writing to:

Purchases In Kind . The Fund may accept securities in lieu of payment for the purchase of shares in the Fund. The acceptance of such securities is at the sole discretion of the Advisor based upon the suitability of the securities accepted for inclusion as a long-term investment of the Fund, the marketability of such securities, and other factors that the Advisor may deem appropriate. If accepted, the securities will be valued using the same criteria and methods as described in "Purchase and Redemption Price – Determining the Fund's Net Asset Value" in the Fund's prospectus.

Redemptions In-Kind . The Fund does not intend, under normal circumstances, to redeem its securities by payment in kind. It is possible, however, that conditions may arise in the future which would, in the opinion of the Trustees, make it undesirable for the Fund to pay for all redemptions in cash. In such case the Trustees may authorize payment to be made in readily marketable portfolio securities of the Fund. Securities delivered in payment of redemptions would be valued at the same value assigned to them in computing the net asset value per share. Shareholders receiving them would incur brokerage costs when these securities are sold. An irrevocable election has been filed under Rule 18f‑1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, wherein the Fund committed to pay redemptions in cash, rather than in kind, to any shareholder of record of the Fund who redeems during any ninety day period, the lesser of (a) $250,000 or (b) one percent (1%) of the Fund's net asset value at the beginning of such period.

Transfer of Registration . To transfer shares to another owner, send a written request to the Fund at the address shown above. Your request should include the following: (i) the Fund name and existing account registration; (ii) signatures of the registered owners exactly as the signature appear on the account registration; (iii) the new account registration, address, social security or taxpayer identification number, and how dividends and capital gains are to be distributed; (iv) signature guarantees (See the Fund's prospectus under the heading "Signature Guarantees"); and (v) any additional documents which are required for transfer by corporations, administrators, executors, trustees, guardians, etc. If you have any questions about transferring shares, call or write the Fund.

Employees and Affiliates of the Fund . The Fund has adopted initial investment minimums for the purpose of reducing the cost to the Fund (and consequently to the shareholders) of communicating with and servicing its shareholders. At the discretion of the Advisor, the Fund may allow investments in the Fund with a reduced minimum initial investment from its Trustees, officers, and employees; the Advisor and certain parties related thereto; including clients of the Advisor or any sponsor, officer, committee member thereof, or the immediate family of any of them. In addition, accounts having the same mailing address may be aggregated for purposes of the minimum investment if they consent in writing to sharing a single mailing of shareholder reports, proxy statements (but each such shareholder would receive his/her own proxy), and other Fund literature.

Dealers . The Distributor, at its expense, may provide additional compensation in addition to dealer discounts and brokerage commissions to dealers in connection with sales of shares of the Fund. Compensation may include financial assistance to dealers in connection with conferences, sales or training programs for their employees, seminars for the public, advertising campaigns regarding the Fund, and/or other dealer-sponsored special events. In some instances, this compensation may be made available only to certain dealers whose representatives have sold or are expected to sell a significant amount of such shares. Compensation may include payment for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred in connection with trips taken by invited registered representatives and members of their families to locations within or outside of the United States for meetings or seminars of a business nature. Dealers may not use sales of the Fund shares to qualify for this compensation to the extent such may be prohibited by the laws of any state or the Financial Industries Regulatory Authority or any other self-regulatory agency. None of the aforementioned compensation is paid directly by the Fund or its shareholders although the Distributor may use a portion of the payment it receives under the Plan to pay these expenses.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Trustees have adopted a policy that governs the disclosure of portfolio holdings. This policy is intended to ensure that such disclosure is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund and to address possible conflicts of interest. Under the Fund's policy, the Fund and Advisor generally will not disclose the Fund's portfolio holdings to a third party unless such information is made available to the public. The policy provides that the Fund and Advisor may disclose non-public portfolio holdings information as required by law and under other limited circumstances that are set forth in more detail below.

The Fund will seek to make a list of its complete portfolio holdings information available at http://www.ncfunds.com/holdings.current-332.htm 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter. Details on obtaining this information are available in the Fund's prospectus. The Fund will also file these quarterly portfolio holdings reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-CSR or Form N-Q, as applicable. The Fund's Form N-CSR and Form N-Q are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the Securities and Exchange Commission's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. The first and third quarter portfolio holdings reports will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-Q and the second and fourth fiscal quarter portfolio holdings reports will be included with the semi-annual and annual financial statements, respectively, which are sent to shareholders and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-CSR. Other than Fund's Form N-CSR and Form N-Q, shareholders and other persons generally will not be provided with information regarding the Fund's portfolio holdings.

Consistent with policies approved by the Board, the officers of the Fund and/or Advisor may share non-public portfolio holdings information with the Fund's service providers that require such information for legitimate business and Fund oversight purposes, such as the Fund's fund accountant and administrator, transfer agent, distributor, custodian, compliance services administrator, independent registered public accounting firm, and legal counsel as identified in the Fund's prospectuses and statement of additional information, and V.G. Reed & Sons, PrintGrafix (a division of Sunbelt Graphic Systems, Inc.), Riverside Printing, Inc., and PrinterLink Communications Group, Inc., financial printers the Fund may engage for, among other things, the printing and/or distribution of regulatory and compliance documents. The Fund and/or Advisor may also provide non-public portfolio holdings information to appropriate regulatory agencies as required by applicable laws and regulations. The Fund's service providers receiving such non-public information are subject to confidentiality obligations requiring such service providers to keep non-public portfolio holdings information confidential. In some, but not all, cases by these confidentiality obligations are established by written agreements. The Board of Trustees has concluded that the confidentiality obligations in place are adequate to safeguard the Fund from unauthorized disclosure of non-public portfolio holdings information. In addition, persons receiving non non-public portfolio holdings information are subject to a duty not to trade on such information. Certain of the service providers have codes of ethics that prohibit trading based on, among other things, non-public portfolio holdings information.

The Fund currently does not provide non-public portfolio holdings information to any other third parties. In the future, the Fund may elect to disclose such information to other third parties if the Advisor determines that the Fund has a legitimate business purpose for doing so, determines that the disclosure is in the shareholders' best interest, and the recipient is subject to a duty of confidentiality. The Advisor is responsible for determining which other third parties have a legitimate business purpose for receiving the Fund's portfolio holdings information.

The Fund's policy regarding disclosure of portfolio holdings is subject to the continuing oversight and direction of the Trustees. Oversight includes: (i) review of the policy on disclosure of portfolio holdings as necessary and periodic assessment of compliance in connection with a report from the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer, (ii) receipt of reports on any conflicts of interest where disclosure of information about portfolio holdings may conflict or appear to conflict with the interests of the Fund's investment advisor, any principal underwriter for the Trust or an affiliated person of the Trust, and (iii) receipt of reports on any known disclosure of the Fund's portfolio holdings to unauthorized third parties. The Fund has not (and do not intend to) enter into any arrangement providing for the receipt of compensation or other consideration in exchange for the disclosure of non-public portfolio holdings information, other than the benefits that result to the Fund and its shareholders from providing such information, which include the publication of Fund ratings and rankings.

NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value and net asset value per share of the Fund normally is determined at the time regular trading closes on the NYSE (currently 4:00 p.m., New York time, Monday through Friday, provided that certain options and futures contracts trade until 4: 15 p.m. Eastern Time). The Fund's net asset value is not calculated on business holidays when the NYSE is closed. The NYSE generally recognizes the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Any other holiday recognized by the NYSE will be deemed a business holiday on which the net asset value of the Fund will not be calculated.

The net asset value per share of each class of shares of the Fund is calculated separately by adding the value of the Fund's securities and other assets belonging to the Fund and attributable to a class of shares, subtracting the liabilities charged to the Fund and to the class of shares, and dividing the result by the number of outstanding shares of such class of shares. "Assets belonging to" the Fund consist of the consideration received upon the issuance of shares of the Fund together with all net investment income, realized gains/losses and proceeds derived from the investment thereof, including any proceeds from the sale of such investments, any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, and a portion of any general assets of the Trust not belonging to a particular series of shares. Income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and any expenses of the Fund not allocated to a particular class of shares will be allocated to each class on the basis of the net asset value of that class in relation to the net asset value of the Fund. Assets belonging to the Fund are charged with the direct liabilities of the Fund and with a share of the general liabilities of the Trust, which are normally allocated in proportion to the number of or the relative net asset values of all of the Trust's series at the time of allocation or in accordance with other allocation methods approved by the Trustees. Certain expenses attributable to a particular class of shares (such as the distribution and service fees) will be charged against that class. Certain other expenses attributable to a particular class of shares (such as registration fees, professional fees, and certain printing and postage expenses) may be charged against that class if such expenses are actually incurred in a different amount by that class or if the class receives services of a different kind or to a different degree than other classes, and the Trustees approve such allocation. Subject to the provisions of the Trust Instrument, determinations by the Trustees as to the direct and allocable liabilities, and the allocable portion of any general assets, with respect to the Fund and the classes of the Funds are conclusive.

The pricing and valuation of portfolio securities is determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by, and under the direction of, the Trustees. Values are determined according to accepted accounting practices and all laws and regulations that apply. Using methods approved by the Trustees, the assets of each Fund are valued as follows:

•	Securities that are listed on a securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price at the time the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded by the Fund.
•	Options are valued at the mean of the last quoted bid and ask prices as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the "Valuation Time").
•	Securities that are listed on an exchange and which are not traded on the valuation date are valued at the bid price.
•	Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the latest quoted sales price, if available, at the time of valuation, otherwise, at the latest quoted bid price.
•	Temporary cash investments with maturities of 60 days or less will be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
•	Securities for which no current quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Trustees. Securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect the fair market value of such securities.

ADDITIONAL TAX INFORMATION

The following summarizes certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders that are not described in the Fund's prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders or any particular category of shareholders. The discussions here and in the Fund's prospectus are not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning and are based on United States federal income tax laws that are in effect on the date hereof and which may be changed by legislative, judicial, or administrative action. In addition, no attempt is made to address tax concerns applicable to an investor with a special tax status such as a financial institution, REIT, insurance company, regulated investment company, individual retirement account, other tax-exempt entity, dealer in securities or non-U.S. investor. Furthermore, this discussion does not reflect possible application of the alternative minimum tax. Unless otherwise noted, this discussion assumes the common shares are held by U.S. persons and that such shares are held as capital assets. Investors are advised to consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations.

The Fund, and any other series of the Trust, will be treated as a separate corporate entity under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), and intends to qualify or 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 interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership. 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.

An investment company 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. In general, at least 50% of the value of its 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 or 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 (i) the securities (other than government securities or the securities of other regulated investment companies) of any one issuer; (ii) 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 Internal Revenue Service Regulations, engaged in the same or similar or related trades or businesses; or (iii) the securities of one or more publicly traded partnerships. The Fund intends to satisfy all requirements on an ongoing basis for continued qualification as a regulated investment company.

The 2003 Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act reduced the federal tax rate on most dividends paid by U.S. corporations to individuals after December 31, 2002. Through December 31, 2012, these qualifying corporate dividends are taxable at long-term capital gains tax rates. Some, but not all, of the dividends paid by the Fund may be taxable at the reduced long-term capital gains tax rate for individual shareholders. If the Fund designates a dividend as qualified dividend income, it generally will be taxable to individual shareholders at the long-term capital gains tax rate, provided certain holding period requirements are met.

Taxable dividends paid by the Fund to corporate shareholders will be taxed at corporate income tax rates. Corporate shareholders may be entitled to a dividends received deduction ("DRD") for a portion of the dividends paid and designated by the Fund as qualifying for the DRD.

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 they 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.

Certain futures, foreign currency contracts and listed nonequity options (such as those on a securities index) in which the Fund may invest may be subject to section 1256 of the Code ("section 1256 contracts"). Any section 1256 contracts the Fund holds at the end of each taxable year generally must be "marked-to-market" (that is, treated as having been sold at that time for their fair market value) for federal income tax purposes, with the result that unrealized gains or losses will be treated as though they were realized. Sixty percent of any net gain or loss recognized on these deemed sales, and 60% of any net realized gain or loss from any actual sales of section 1256 contracts, will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, and the balance will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.

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, and any other series of the Trust, will designate (i) any dividend of qualified dividend income as qualified dividend income; (ii) any distribution of long-term capital gains as a capital gain dividend; and (iii) any dividend eligible for the corporate DRD as such in a written notice mailed to shareholders within 60 days after the close of the Fund's taxable year. Shareholders should note that, upon the sale or exchange of Fund shares, if such shares have not been held 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.

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.

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) at the Fund level. In such event, dividend distributions (whether or not derived from interest on tax-exempt securities) would be taxable as qualified dividends to individual shareholders in taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2012, to the extent of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits, and would be eligible for the DRD for corporations, provided in each case that certain holding period and other requirements are met.

The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury a percentage equal to the fourth lowest tax rate for unmarried individuals (presently 28%) of taxable dividends or of gross proceeds realized upon sale paid to shareholders who (i) have failed to provide a correct taxpayer identification number in the manner required; (ii) are subject to back-up withholding by the Internal Revenue Service for failure to include properly on their return payments of taxable interest or dividends; or (iii) have failed to certify to the Fund that they are not subject to backup withholding when required to do so. Back-up withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from payments to you may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

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.

Dividends paid by the Fund to non-U.S. shareholders may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% unless reduced by treaty (and the shareholder files a valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or other applicable form, with the Fund certifying foreign status and treaty eligibility) or the non-U.S. shareholder files an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or other applicable form, with the Fund certifying that the investment to which the distribution relates is effectively connected to a United States trade or business of such non-U.S. shareholder (and, if certain tax treaties apply, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by such non-U.S. shareholder). The Fund may elect not to withhold the applicable withholding tax on any distribution representing a capital gain dividend to a non-U.S. shareholder. Special rules may apply to non-U.S. shareholders with respect to the information reporting requirements and withholding taxes and non-U.S. shareholders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the application of such reporting requirements and withholding taxes.

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

The audited financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016 , including the financial highlights appearing in the Annual Report to shareholders, are incorporated by reference and made a part of this document. You may request a copy of the Fund's annual and semi-annual reports at no charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-773-3863.

APPENDIX A –DESCRIPTION OF RATINGS

The Fund may acquire from time to time certain securities that meet the following minimum rating criteria ("Investment-Grade Debt Securities") (or if not rated, of equivalent quality as determined by the Advisor). The various ratings used by the nationally recognized securities rating services are described below.

A rating by a rating service represents the service's opinion as to the credit quality of the security being rated. However, the ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality or guarantees as to the creditworthiness of an issuer. Consequently, the Advisor believes that the quality of Investment-Grade Debt Securities in which the Fund may invest should be continuously reviewed and that individual analysts give different weightings to the various factors involved in credit analysis. A rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell, or hold a security, because it does not take into account market value or suitability for a particular investor. When a security has received a rating from more than one service, each rating is evaluated independently. Ratings are based on current information furnished by the issuer or obtained by the rating services from other sources that they consider reliable. Ratings may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn as a result of changes in or unavailability of such information, or for other reasons.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. The following summarizes the highest four ratings used by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P"), a division of McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., for bonds which are deemed to be Investment-Grade Debt Securities by the Advisor:

AAA – This is the highest rating assigned by S&P to a debt obligation and indicates an extremely strong capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

AA – Debt rated AA differs from AAA issues only in a small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

A – Debt rated A is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB – Debt rated BBB exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

To provide more detailed indications of credit quality, the AA, A, and BBB ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within these major rating categories.

Bonds rated BB, B, CCC, CC, and C are not considered by the Advisor to be Investment-Grade Debt Securities and are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation and C the highest degree of speculation. While such bonds may have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.

Commercial paper rated A‑1 by S&P indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted A‑1+. Capacity for timely payment on commercial paper rated A‑2 is satisfactory, but the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A‑1.

The rating SP‑1 is the highest rating assigned by S&P to short term notes and indicates strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation. The rating SP‑2 indicates a satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes. The rating SP-3 indicates a speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Moody's Investor Service, Inc. The following summarizes the highest four ratings used by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") for fixed-income obligations with an original maturity of one year or more, which are deemed to be Investment-Grade Securities by the Advisor:

Aaa – Bond obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk.

Aa – Bond obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.

A – Bond obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.

Baa – Bond obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered medium-grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.

Obligations that are rated Ba, B, Caa, Ca, or C by Moody's are not considered "Investment-Grade Debt Securities" by the Advisor. Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk. Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk. Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.

Note: Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

Short-Term Ratings.

Moody's short-term ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to honor short-term financial obligations. Ratings may be assigned to issuers, short-term programs, or individual short-term debt instruments. Such obligations generally have an original maturity not exceeding thirteen months, unless explicitly noted.

Moody's employs the following designations to indicate the relative repayment ability of rated issuers:

P-1 – Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-1 have a superior ability to repay short-term debt obligations.

P-2 – Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-2 have a strong ability to repay short-term debt obligations.

P-3 – Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-3 have an acceptable ability to repay short-term debt obligations.

NP – Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.

Note: Canadian issuers rated P-1 or P-2 have their short-term ratings enhanced by the senior-most long-term rating of the issuer, its guarantor, or support-provider.

US Municipal Short-Term Debt And Demand Obligation Ratings.

Short-Term Debt Ratings. There are three rating categories for short-term municipal obligations that are considered investment grade. These ratings are designated as Municipal Investment Grade (MIG) and are divided into three levels – MIG 1 through MIG 3. In addition, those short-term obligations that are of speculative quality are designated SG, or speculative grade. MIG ratings expire at the maturity of the obligation.

MIG 1 – This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2 – This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.

MIG 3 – This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.

SG – This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.

Demand Obligation Ratings. In the case of variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs), a two-component rating is assigned; a long or short-term debt rating and a demand obligation rating. The first element represents Moody's evaluation of the degree of risk associated with scheduled principal and interest payments. The second element represents Moody's evaluation of the degree of risk associated with the ability to receive purchase price upon demand ("demand feature"), using a variation of the MIG rating scale, the Variable Municipal Investment Grade or VMIG rating.

When either the long- or short-term aspect of a VRDO is not rated, that piece is designated NR, e.g., Aaa/NR or NR/VMIG 1.

VMIG rating expirations are a function of each issue's specific structural or credit features.

VMIG 1 – This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

VMIG 2 – This designation denotes strong credit quality. Good protection is afforded by the strong short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

VMIG 3 – This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Adequate protection is afforded by the satisfactory short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

SG – This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Demand features rated in this category may be supported by a liquidity provider that does not have an investment grade short-term rating or may lack the structural and/or legal protections necessary to ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

Fitch Ratings . The following summarizes the highest four ratings used by Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"):

Long-Term Ratings.

AAA – Highest credit quality. The rating AAA denotes that the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in case of exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA – Very high credit quality. The rating AA denotes a very low expectation of credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.

A – High credit quality. The rating A denotes a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher rating.

BBB – Good credit quality. The rating BBB indicates that there is currently a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the lowest investment grade category.

Long-term securities rated below BBB by Fitch are not considered by the Advisor to be investment-grade securities. Securities rated BB and B are regarded as speculative with regard to a possible credit risk developing. BB is considered speculative and B is considered highly speculative. Securities rated CCC, CC, and C are regarded as a high default risk. A rating CC indicates that default of some kind appears probable, while a rating C signals imminent default. Securities rated DDD, D, and D indicate a default has occurred.

Short-Term Ratings.

F1 – Highest credit quality. The rating F1 indicates the strongest capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added (+) to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.

F2 – Good credit quality. The rating F2 indicates a satisfactory capacity for timely payment of financial commitment, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of the higher ratings.

F3 – Fair credit quality. The rating F3 indicates the capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate; however, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment grade.

B – Speculative. The rating B indicates minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.

Short-term rates B, C, and D by Fitch are considered by the Advisor to be below investment-grade securities. Short-term securities rated B are considered speculative, securities rated C have a high default risk, and securities rated D denote actual or imminent payment default.

(+) or (-) suffixes may be appended to a rating to denote relative status within major rating categories. Such suffixes are not added to long-term ratings "AAA" category, categories below "CCC", or short-term ratings other than "F1". The suffix "NR" indicates that Fitch does not publicly rate the issuer or issue in question.

APPENDIX B – PROXY VOTING POLICIES

The following proxy voting policies are provided:

(1)	The Trust's Proxy Voting and Disclosure Policy; and

(2)	The Advisor's Proxy Voting and Disclosure Policy, including a detailed description of the Advisor's specific proxy voting guidelines.

Trust's Proxy Voting Disclosure Policy

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules and forms under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Investment Company Act of 1940 to require registered investment companies to provide disclosure about how they vote proxies for their portfolio securities. Each series of shares of the Trust (individually and collectively referred to as the "Fund") is required to disclose the policies and procedures used to determine how to vote proxies for portfolio securities. The Fund is also required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to make available to their shareholders the specific proxy votes cast for portfolio securities. This policy is designed to ensure that the Fund complies with these requirements and otherwise fulfills its obligations with respect to proxy voting, disclosure, and recordkeeping. The overall goal is to ensure that the Fund's proxy voting is managed in an effort to act in the best interests of its shareholders. While decisions about how to vote must be determined on a case-by-case basis, proxy voting decisions will be made considering these guidelines and following the procedures recited herein.

Specific Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

A.	General

	The Board of Trustees believes that the voting of proxies is an important part of portfolio management as it represents an opportunity for shareholders to make their voices heard and to influence the direction of a company. The Trust and Fund are committed to voting corporate proxies in the manner that best serves the interests of the Fund's shareholders.

B.	Delegation to Fund's Investment Advisor

	The Board of Trustees believes that the Fund's investment advisor is in the best position to make individual voting decisions for the Fund consistent with this policy. Therefore, subject to the oversight of the Board of Trustees, the Fund's investment advisor is delegated the following duties:

	1.	To make the proxy voting decisions for the Fund; and

	2.	To assist the Fund in disclosing the Fund's proxy voting record as required by Rule 30b1-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, including providing the following information for each matter with respect to which the Fund was entitled to vote: (a) information identifying the matter voted on; (b) whether the matter was proposed by the issuer or by a security holder; (c) whether and how the Fund cast its vote; and (d) whether the Fund cast its vote for or against management.

	The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, shall approve the Proxy Voting and Disclosure Policy of the Fund's investment advisor as it relates to the Fund. The Board of Trustees shall also approve any material changes to such policy no later than six (6) months after adoption by the Fund's investment advisor.

C.	Conflicts

	In cases where a matter with respect to which a Fund is entitled to vote presents a conflict between the interest of the Fund's shareholders, on the one hand, and those of the Fund's investment advisor, principal underwriter, or an affiliated person of the Fund, its investment advisor or principal underwriter, on the other hand, the Fund shall always vote in the best interest of the Fund's shareholders. For purposes of this Policy, a vote shall be considered in the best interest of the Fund's shareholders (i) when a vote is cast consistent with a specific voting policy set forth in the Proxy Voting and Disclosure Policy of the Fund's investment advisor, provided such specific voting policy was approved by the Board of Trustees, or (ii) when a vote is cast consistent with the decision of the Trust's Proxy Voting Committee. In addition, provided the Fund's investment advisor is not affiliated with the Fund's principal underwriter or an affiliated person of the principal underwriter and neither the Fund's principal underwriter nor an affiliated person of the principal underwriter has influenced the advisor with respect to a matter to which the Fund is entitled to vote, a vote by the advisor shall not be considered a conflict between the Fund's shareholders and the Fund's principal underwriter or affiliated person of the principal underwriter.

D.	Other Investment Companies

	To the extent the Fund invests in shares of other investment companies in accordance with the safe harbor provisions of Section 12(d)(1)(F) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund's investment advisor shall vote proxies with respect to such investment company securities in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such securities.

Fund Disclosure

A.	Disclosure of Fund Policies and Procedures With Respect to Voting Proxies Relating to Portfolio Securities

	The Fund shall disclose this policy, or a description of the policy, to its shareholders by including it as an appendix to its Statement of Additional Information on Form N-1A. The Fund will also notify its shareholders in the Fund's shareholder reports that a description of this policy is available upon request, without charge, by calling a specified toll-free telephone number. The Fund will send this description of the policy within three business days of receipt of any shareholder request, by first-class mail, or other means designed to ensure equally prompt delivery.

B.	Disclosure of the Fund's Complete Proxy Voting Record

	In accordance with Rule 30b1-4 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund will file Form N-PX with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than August 31 of each year, even if August 31 falls on a non-business day. The Fund shall disclose to its shareholders on Form N-PX the Fund's complete proxy voting record for the twelve-month period ended June 30.

	The Fund shall disclose the following information on Form N-PX for each matter relating to a portfolio security considered at any shareholder meeting held during the period covered by the report and with respect to which to the Fund was entitled to vote:

	(i)	The name of the issuer of the portfolio security;
	(ii)	The exchange ticker symbol of the portfolio security (if available through reasonably practicable means);
	(iii)	The Council on Uniform Security Identification Procedures ("CUSIP") number for the portfolio security (if available through reasonably practicable means);
	(iv)	The shareholder meeting date;
	(v)	A brief identification of the matter voted on;
	(vi)	Whether the matter was proposed by the issuer or by a security holder;
	(vii)	Whether the Fund cast its vote on the matter;
	(viii)	How the Fund cast its vote (e.g., for or against proposal, or abstain; for or withhold regarding election of directors); and
	(ix)	Whether the Fund cast its vote for or against management.

	The Fund shall make its proxy voting record available to shareholders either upon request or by making available an electronic version on or through the Fund's website, if applicable. If the Fund discloses its proxy voting record on or through its website, the Fund shall post the information disclosed in the Fund's most recently filed report on Form N-PX on the website beginning the same day it files such information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

	The Fund shall also include a statement in its annual reports, semi-annual reports, and Statement of Additional Information that information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge upon request, by calling a specified toll-free (or collect) telephone number, or (if applicable) on or through the Fund's website at a specified internet address; and (ii) on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the Fund discloses that its proxy voting record is available by calling a toll-free (or collect) telephone number, it shall send the information disclosed in the Fund's most recently filed report on Form N-PX within three business days of receipt of a request for this information, by first-class mail or other means designed to ensure equally prompt delivery.

Recordkeeping

The Trust shall keep the following records for a period of at least five years, the first two in an easily accessible place:

(i)	A copy of this Policy;

(ii)	Proxy statements received regarding the Fund's securities;

(iii)

Records of votes cast on behalf of the Fund; and

(iv)	A record of each shareholder request for proxy voting information and the Fund's response, including the date of the request, the name of the shareholder, and the date of the response.

The foregoing records may be kept as part of the records of the Fund's investment advisor.

A Fund may rely on proxy statements filed on the SEC EDGAR system instead of keeping its own copies, and may rely on proxy statements and records of proxy votes cast by the Fund's investment advisor that are maintained with a third party such as a proxy voting service, provided that an undertaking is obtained from the third party to provide a copy of the documents promptly upon request.

Proxy Voting Committee

General

The Trust's Proxy Voting Committee shall be composed entirely of Independent Trustees and may be comprised of one or more such Independent Trustees as the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, decide. The purpose of the Proxy Voting Committee shall be to determine how the Fund should cast its vote, if called upon by the Board of Trustees or the Fund's investment advisor, when a matter with respect to which the Fund is entitled to vote presents a conflict between the interest of the Fund's shareholders, on the one hand, and those of the Fund's investment advisor, principal underwriter, or an affiliated person of the Fund, its investment advisor, or principal underwriter, on the other hand.

B.	Powers and Methods of Operation

The Proxy Voting Committee shall have all the powers necessary to fulfill its purpose as set forth above and such other powers and perform such other duties as the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, grant or assign to the Proxy Voting Committee. The Proxy Voting Committee shall meet at such times and places as the Proxy Voting Committee or the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, determine. The act of a majority of the members of the Proxy Voting Committee in person, by telephone conference, or by consent in writing without a meeting shall be the act of the Proxy Voting Committee. The Proxy Voting Committee shall have the authority to utilize Trust counsel at the expense of the Trust if necessary. The Proxy Voting Committee shall prepare minutes of each meeting and keep such minutes with the Trust's records. The Proxy Voting Committee shall review this Policy and recommend any changes to the Board of Trustees as it deems necessary or advisable.

Other

This policy may be amended, from time to time, as determined by the Board of Trustees.

Arin Risk Advisors, LLC
Proxy Voting/Class Action Lawsuits

Policy

Arin does not vote proxies for separately managed account clients and has no obligation to determine if securities held by the client are subject to a pending or resolved class action lawsuit. It also has no duty to evaluate a client's eligibility or to submit a claim to participate in the proceeds of a securities class action settlement or verdict. Furthermore, Arin has no obligation or responsibility to initiate litigation to recover damages on behalf of clients who may have been injured because of actions, misconduct, or negligence by corporate management of issuers whose securities are held by clients.

Arin will vote proxies/participate in class actions for securities held by the Fund in accordance with the policy below. Arin will determine how to vote proxies based on Arin's reasonable judgment of that vote or act most likely to produce favorable financial results for its clients. 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. However, we will consider both sides of each proxy issue. Consistent with the Company's paramount commitment to the financial investment goals of our clients, social considerations will not be considered absent contrary instructions by a client.

Background

Proxy voting and Participation in Class Action Lawsuits is an important right of shareholders and reasonable care and diligence must be undertaken to ensure that such rights are properly and timely exercised.

Investment Advisors registered with the SEC, and which exercise voting authority with respect to client securities, are required by Rule 206(4)-6 of the Advisors Act to (a) adopt and implement written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that client securities are voted in the best interests of clients, which must include how an Advisor addresses material conflicts that may arise between an Advisor's interests and those of its clients; (b) to disclose to clients how they may obtain information from the Advisor with respect to the voting of proxies for their securities; (c) to describe to clients a summary of its proxy voting policies and procedures and, upon request, furnish a copy to its clients; and (d) maintain certain records relating to the Advisor's proxy voting activities when the Advisor does have proxy voting authority.

Responsibility

The CCO has the responsibility for the implementation and monitoring of our proxy/class action policy and to ensure that the firm does accept and/or exercise any proxy voting/class action authority on behalf of separately managed clients.

Procedure

The firm's procedure is:

• Ain generally does not receive proxies or notifications of class action lawsuits on behalf of its separately managed account clients. To the extent such materials are received directly by Arin, Arin shall forward such materials to the client. For the Fund, Arin has been given authority to vote proxies, or join class action lawsuits. Arin believes that each proxy proposal should be individually reviewed to determine whether the proposal is in the best interests of the Fund. As a result, similar proposals for different companies may receive different votes because of different corporate circumstances.. Upon receipt of a corporate proxy by the Company, the special or annual report and the proxy are submitted to the Manager ("the Proxy Manager"). The Proxy Manager will then vote the proxy in accordance with this policy. Arin may satisfy this requirement by relying on a third-party provider, such as a proxy voting service.

	• The Proxy Manager shall be responsible for reviewing the special or annual report, proxy proposals, and proxy proposal summaries. The reviewer shall take into consideration what vote is in the best interests of the client and the provisions of the Company's Voting Guidelines in Section 2 below. The Proxy Manager will then vote the proxies. Arin may satisfy this requirement by relying on a third-party provider, such as a proxy voting service.

	• The Proxy Manager shall be responsible for maintaining copies of each annual report, proposal, proposal summary, actual vote, and any other information required to be maintained for a proxy vote under Rule 204-2 of the Advisers Act (see discussion in Section 3 below). With respect to proxy votes on topics deemed, in the opinion of the Proxy Manager, to be controversial or particularly sensitive, the Proxy Manager will provide a written explanation for the proxy vote, which will be maintained with the record of the actual vote in the Company's files.

	• While Arin's policy is to review each proxy proposal on its individual merits, Arin has adopted guidelines for certain types of matters to assist the Proxy Manager in the review and voting of proxies. Arin may satisfy this requirement by relying on a third-party provider, such as a proxy voting service

These guidelines are set forth below:

Corporate Governance

Election of Directors and Similar Matters

In an uncontested election, Arin will generally vote in favor of management's proposed directors. In a contested election, Arin will evaluate proposed directors on a case-by-case basis. With respect to proposals regarding the structure of a company's Board of Directors, Arin will review any contested proposal on its merits.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arin expects to support proposals to:

Expand directors' liability and limit directors' indemnification rights

Generally vote against proposals to Adopt or continue the use of a classified Board structure; and

Add special interest directors to the board of directors (e.g., efforts to expand the board of directors to control the outcome of a particular issue)

Audit Committee Approvals

Arin generally supports proposals that help ensure that a company's auditors are independent and capable of delivering a fair and accurate opinion of a company's finances. Arin will generally vote to ratify management's recommendation and selection of auditors.

Shareholder Rights

Arin may consider all proposals that will have a material effect on shareholder rights on a case by case basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arin expects to generally support proposals to:

Adopt confidential voting and independent tabulation of voting results; and

Require shareholder approval of "poison pills;"

And expects to generally vote against proposals to:

a. Adopt super-majority voting requirements; and

Restrict the rights of shareholders to call special meetings, to amend the bylaws, or to act by written consent.

Anti-Takeover Measures, Corporate Restructurings and Similar Matters

Arin may review any proposal to adopt an anti-takeover measure, to undergo a corporate restructuring (e.g., change of entity form or state of incorporation, mergers, or acquisitions) or to take similar action by reviewing the potential short and long-term effects of the proposal on ARA. These effects may include, without limitation, the economic and financial impact the proposal may have on the company, and the market impact that the proposal may have on the company's stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arin expects to generally support proposals to:

Prohibit the payment of greenmail (i.e., the purchase by the company of its own shares to prevent a hostile takeover);

Adopt fair price requirements (i.e., requirements that all shareholders be paid the same price in a tender offer or takeover context), unless the Proxy Manager deems them sufficiently limited in scope; and

Require shareholder approval of "poison pills."

And expects to generally vote against proposals to:

b. Adopt classified boards of directors;

Reincorporate a company where the primary purpose appears to the Proxy Manager to be the creation of takeover defenses; and

Require a company to consider the non-financial effects of mergers or acquisitions.

Capital Structure Proposals

Arin will seek to evaluate capital structure proposals on their own merits on a case-by-case basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arin expects to generally support proposals to:

Eliminate preemptive rights.

Compensation

General

Arin generally supports proposals that encourage the disclosure of a company's compensation policies. In addition, Arin generally supports proposals that fairly compensate executives, particularly those proposals that link executive compensation to performance. Arin may consider any contested proposal related to a company's compensation policies on a case-by-case basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arin expects to generally support proposals to:

Require shareholders' approval of "golden parachutes;" and

And expects to generally vote against proposals to:

c. Adopt measures that appear to the Proxy Manager to arbitrarily determine executive or employee benefits.

d. Adopt "golden parachutes" that offer any multiple of base compensation of the applicable executives.

Stock Option Plans and Share Issuances

Arin evaluates proposed stock option plans and share issuances on a case-by-case basis. In reviewing proposals regarding stock option plans and issuances, Arin may consider, without limitation, the potential dilutive effect on shareholders and the potential short and long-term economic effects on Arin. The Company believes that stock option plans do not necessarily align the interest of executives and outside directors with those of shareholders and that well thought out cash compensation plans can achieve these objectives without diluting shareholders' ownership. Therefore, the Company generally will vote against stock option plans. However, these proposals will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine that shareholders' interests are being represented. Arin is in favor of management, directors, and employees owning stock, but prefers that the shares be purchased in the open market.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arin expects to generally vote against proposals to:

Establish or continue stock option plans and share issuances that are not in the best interest of the shareholders.

Corporate Responsibility and Social Issues

Arin generally believes that ordinary business matters (including, without limitation, positions on corporate responsibility and social issues) are primarily the responsibility of a company's management that should be addressed solely by the company's management. These types of proposals, often initiated by shareholders, may request that the company disclose or amend certain business practices.

Arin will generally vote against proposals involving corporate responsibility and social issues, although Arin may vote for corporate responsibility and social issue proposals that Arin believes will have substantial positive economic or other effects on a company or Arin's stock.

Record-Keeping Requirements Pertaining to Proxy Voting .

Rule 204-2, requires that the following proxy voting records be maintained. The CCO shall be responsible for maintaining these records relating to proxy voting. Arin may satisfy this requirement by relying on a third-party service to provide these records

Copies of all policies and procedures required by Rule 206(4)-6.

A copy of each proxy statement that the Arin receives regarding a client's securities. Arin may satisfy this requirement by relying on a third-party provider, such as a proxy voting service, or the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system.

A record of each vote cast by the investment Arin on behalf of a client. Arin may satisfy this requirement by relying on a third-party service to provide these records. The third party must be capable of providing documents promptly upon request.

A copy of any document created by Arin that was material in making a decision on how to vote proxies on a client's behalf or that articulates the basis for that decision.

A copy of each written client request for information on how Arin voted proxies on his or her behalf, as well as a copy of any written response by the investment Arin to any written or oral client request for information.

Conflicts of Interest Pertaining to Proxy Voting

Conflicts of interest between Arin or a principal of Arin and Arin's clients in respect of a proxy issue conceivably may arise, for example, from personal or professional relationships with a company or with the directors, candidates for director, or senior executives of a company that is the issuer of client securities.

If the CCO determines that a material conflict of interest exists, the following procedures shall be followed:

Arin may disclose the existence and nature of the conflict to to the Starboard Investment Trust, and seek directions on how to vote the proxies;

Arin may abstain from voting, particularly if there are conflicting client interests (for example, where client accounts hold multiple client securities in a competitive merger situation); or

Arin may follow the recommendations of an independent proxy voting service in voting the proxies.

Arin keeps certain records required by applicable law in connection with its proxy voting activities for clients and shall provide proxy-voting information to clients upon their written or oral request. A copy of ARA's proxy-voting policies shall be made available to clients upon request.

ITEM 29.	Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Registrant

	No person is controlled by or under common control with the Registrant.

ITEM 30.	Indemnification

Under Delaware law, Section 3817 of the Treatment of Delaware Statutory Trusts empowers Delaware business trusts to indemnify and hold harmless any trustee or beneficial owner or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions as may be set forth in the governing instrument of the business trust. The Registrant's Trust Instrument contains the following provisions:

Article VII. Section 2. Indemnification and Limitation of Liability . The Trustees shall not be responsible or liable in any event for any neglect or wrong-doing of any officer, agent, employee, Advisor or Principal Underwriter of the Trust, nor shall any Trustee be responsible for the act or omission of any other Trustee, and, as provided in Section 3 of this Article VII, the Trust out of its assets shall indemnify and hold harmless each and every Trustee and officer of the Trust from and against any and all claims, demands, costs, losses, expenses, and damages whatsoever arising out of or related to such Trustee's performance of his or her duties as a Trustee or officer of the Trust; provided that nothing herein contained shall indemnify, hold harmless or protect any Trustee or officer from or against any liability to the Trust or any Shareholder to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking and every other act or thing whatsoever issued, executed or done by or on behalf of the Trust or the Trustees or any of them in connection with the Trust shall be conclusively deemed to have been issued, executed or done only in or with respect to their or his or her capacity as Trustees or Trustee, and such Trustees or Trustee shall not be personally liable thereon.

Article VII. Section 3. Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in Subsection (b) below:

(i) every person who is, or has been, a Trustee or an officer, employee or agent of the Trust (including any individual who serves at its request as director, officer, partner, trustee or the like of another organization in which it has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise) ("Covered Person") shall be indemnified by the Trust or the appropriate Series to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his being or having been a Covered Person and against amounts paid or incurred by him in the settlement thereof; and

(ii) as used herein, the words "claim," "action," "suit," or "proceeding" shall apply to all claims, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal or other, including appeals), actual or threatened, and the words "liability" and "expenses" shall include, without limitation, attorneys, fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties and other liabilities.

(b) No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Covered Person:

(i) who shall have been adjudicated by a court or body before which the proceeding was brought (A) to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office, or (B) not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Trust; or

(ii) in the event the matter is not adjudicated by a court or other appropriate body, unless there has been a determination that such Covered Person did not engage in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office: by at least a majority of those Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor are parties to the matter based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry); or by written opinion of independent legal counsel based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry).

(c) The rights of indemnification herein provided may be insured against by policies maintained by the Trust, shall be severable, shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any Covered Person may now or hereafter be entitled, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of a Covered Person.

(d) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced by the Trust before the disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person that such amount will be paid over by him to the Trust or applicable Series if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification under this Section; provided, however, that either a majority of the Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor parties to the matter, or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that there is reason to believe that such Covered Person will not be disqualified from indemnification under this Section.

(e) Any repeal or modification of this Article VII by the Shareholders, or adoption or modification of any other provision of the Declaration or By-laws inconsistent with this Article, shall be prospective only, to the extent that such repeal, or modification would, if applied retrospectively, adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any Covered Person or indemnification available to any Covered Person with respect to any act or omission which occurred prior to such repeal, modification or adoption.

In addition, the Registrant has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements with its Advisors and Distribution Agreements with its Distributor. These agreements provide indemnification for those entities and their respective affiliates. The Advisors' and Distributor's personnel may serve as trustees and officers of the Trust.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Trust Instrument or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and, therefore, is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by trustees, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, officers or controlling persons in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.

ITEM 31. Business and other Connections of the Investment Advisor

See the section of the Prospectuses entitled "Management of the Fund – The Investment Advisor" and the section of the Statements of Additional Information entitled "Management and Other Service Providers" for the activities and affiliations of the officers and directors of the investment advisors to the Registrant. The investment advisors provide investment advisory services to numerous institutional and individual clients in addition to the Registrant.

7 of 30

6.	INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS

The Administrator will, for the purpose of this Agreement, be deemed an independent contractor and, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, will have no authority to act or represent the Trust in any way and will not be deemed an agent of the Trust.

7.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION, AND RELIANCE

For the purposes of this Section 7 the term "Administrator" shall include directors, officers, employees, and other agents of the Administrator, as well as the Administrator itself:

(a)

Limitation of Liability. The duties of the Administrator shall be confined to those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties are assumed by or may be asserted against the Administrator. The Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment, mistake of law, loss or damage suffered by the Fund(s) in connection with any investment, or any act or omission of the Administrator in carrying out its duties under this Agreement, except a loss or damage resulting directly from willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Administrator in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, or from reckless disregard by the Administrator of its obligations under this Agreement.

Further, in no event shall the Administrator be liable under any provision of, or in connection with, this agreement (regardless of whether a claim is based on contract, tort, or otherwise) for any damages other than actual and direct damages, and the Administrator shall have no liability for any incidental, indirect, consequential, special, or exemplary damages or losses which the Fund(s) may incur or suffer, whether or not the likelihood or possibility of such damages was known to the Administrator in advance.

8 of 30

(b)

Indemnification. Provided that the Administrator has exercised reasonable customary care in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Trust assumes full responsibility and will indemnify and defend the Administrator and hold it harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, and claims, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees, and disbursements, payments, expenses, and liabilities (including reasonable investigation expenses) of every nature and character arising or occurring directly or indirectly out of Administrator's relationship to the Trust under this Agreement or any of Administrator's action taken or nonactions with respect to the performance of services under this Agreement; provided, however, Administrator shall not be indemnified against any liability arising out of its own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard in the performance of its duties or its own reckless disregard of its duties or obligations under this Agreement. The indemnity and defense provisions set forth herein shall indefinitely survive the termination of this Agreement.

The rights hereunder shall include the right to reasonable advances of defense expenses in the event of any pending or threatened litigation with respect to which indemnification hereunder may ultimately be merited. In order that the indemnification provision contained herein shall apply, however, it is understood that if in any case the Trust may be asked to indemnify, defend, or hold the Administrator harmless, the Trust shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and it is further understood that the Administrator will use all reasonable care to identify and notify the Trust promptly concerning any situation which presents or appears likely to present the probability of such a claim for indemnification against the Trust, but failure to do so in good faith will not affect the rights under this Agreement.

The Trust will be entitled to participate at its own expense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims subject to this indemnity provision. If the Trust elects to assume the defense of any such claim, the defense will be conducted by counsel chosen by the Trust and satisfactory to the Administrator, whose approval will not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Trust elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the Administrator will bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, absent a conflict of interest between the Trust and the Administrator. In the event of a conflict between the Trust and the Administrator or if the Trust does not elect to assume the defense of a suit, the Trust shall reimburse the Administrator for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by Administrator.

9 of 30

The Administrator may apply to the Trust at any time for instructions and may consult with the Trust's counsel auditors with respect to any matter arising in connection with the Administrator's duties, and the Administrator will not be liable or accountable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such instructions or with the opinion of the Trust's counsel or auditors. Also, the Administrator will be protected in acting on any document that it reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Administrator will not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any officers, employee, or agent of the Trust until receipt of written notice thereof from the Trust.

Should the foregoing indemnification agreement be found unenforceable or that contribution is required from Administrator, then the Administrator's aggregate contribution for all losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, including rescission liabilities, shall not exceed the value of all fees earned by and expenses reimbursed to the Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person or entity that is not so guilty.

Performance by the Administrator of its obligations under this Agreement does not absolve or release the Trust or the Trust's investment advisor from their fiduciary responsibilities to the Funds or the Funds' shareholders.

(c)	Reliance. Except to the extent that the Administrator may be liable pursuant to this Section 7, the Administrator shall not be liable for any action taken or failure to act in good faith in reliance upon:

10 of 30

(i)	Advice from the Trust or from counsel to the Trust;

(ii)	Any oral instruction which it receives and which it reasonably believes in good faith (pursuant to procedures mutually agreed to by the Administrator and the Advisers) was transmitted by the person or persons authorized by the Board to give such oral instruction;

(iii)

Any written instruction or certified copy of any resolution of the Board, and the Administrator may rely upon the genuineness of any such document, copy or facsimile thereof reasonably believed in good faith by the Administrator to have been validly executed; or

(iv)

Any signature, instruction, request, letter of transmittal, certificate, opinion of counsel, statement, instrument, report, notice, consent, order, or other document reasonably believed in good faith by the Administrator to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the Trust or other proper party or parties;

and the Administrator shall not be under any duty or obligation to inquire into the validity or invalidity or authority or lack of authority of any statement, oral or written instruction, resolution, signature, request, letter of transmittal, certificate, opinion of counsel, instrument, report, notice, consent, order, or any other document or instrument which the Administrator reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine.

(d)

Errors of Others. The Administrator shall not be liable for the errors of other service providers to the Trust, including the errors of pricing services (other than to pursue all reasonable claims against the pricing service based on the pricing services' standard contracts entered into by the Administrator) and errors in information provided by an investment adviser (including prices and pricing formulas and the untimely transmission of trade information) or custodian to the Trust; except or unless any of the Administrator's actions or inaction is a direct or proximate cause of the error.

11 of 30

(e)

Reliance on Electronic Instructions. If the Trust has the ability to originate electronic instructions to the Administrator in order to (i) effect the transfer or movement of cash or Shares or (ii) transmit Shareholder information or other information, then in such event the Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the validity and authenticity of such instruction without undertaking any further inquiry as long as such instruction is undertaken in conformity with security procedures established and agreed upon by the Administrator and the Advisers.

SEC Rule 204A-1 requires every investment adviser registered or required to be registered under section 203 of the Act to establish, maintain and enforce a written code of ethics that, at a minimum, includes:

1.	A standard (or standards) of business conduct that the adviser requires of each supervised person, which standard must reflect the adviser's fiduciary obligations and those of its supervised persons;

2.	Provisions requiring the supervised persons to comply with applicable federal securities laws;

3.	Provisions that require all "Access Persons" to report, and the firm to review, their personal securities transactions and holdings periodically as provided in the Rule;

4.	Provisions requiring supervised persons to report any violations of the code of ethics promptly to the chief compliance officer or, provided the chief compliance officer also receives reports of all violations, to other persons designated in the code of ethics; and

5.	Provisions requiring the firm to provide each supervised person with a copy of the code of ethics and any amendments, and requiring the supervised persons to provide the firm with a written acknowledgment of their receipt of the code and any amendments.

The Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for overseeing and enforcing the Code of Ethics. This oversight shall at a minimum include the following on a regular basis:

•	Reviewing Access Persons' personal securities reports

•	Assessing whether Access Persons are following required internal procedures

•	Evaluating transactions to identify any prohibited practices

•	Assessing relative performance of personal accounts vs. customer accounts."

Each employee and associated person must date and sign the Acknowledgment of this Code of Ethics and return a copy of the signed Acknowledgment to the Chief Compliance Officer.

In addition, each employee or associated person must take personal responsibility to report promptly to the Chief Compliance Officer any suspected violations of this Code of Ethics where applicable.

Code of Ethics

Arin Risk Advisors, LLC is required to include in Form ADV Part 2Aa reference to this Code of Ethics and that a copy of the Code of Ethics will be delivered to the recipient of Form ADV Part 2A upon request addressed to the Chief Compliance Officer.

1.1	In General

	1.1.1	Standards of Business Conduct

	Federal and state securities laws and regulations make it clear that registered investment advisers and their employees, have a fiduciary duty to their clients with respect to the advice and management services provided. This is often expressed as the "prudent man rule." A fiduciary is to approach his or her client's affairs with the same prudence as would be used in the management of his or her own. Fiduciaries are expected to place the interests of the client before their own. Fiduciaries cannot withhold material information from a client that would affect the client's investment decision. Arin Risk Advisors, LLC acknowledges that, as a fiduciary, we have a fundamental obligation to act in the best interests of our clients and our clients a duty of undivided loyalty and utmost good faith.

	1.1.2	Compliance with Securities Laws is Mandatory

	Federal and state antifraud statutes set forth a number of basic principles which underpin the enforcement of ethical principles in adviser administration. Thus neither an adviser nor any employee may:

	•	Employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud a client;
	•	Make any untrue statement of material fact or material
	•	Omission in communications to clients or the public; or
	•	Engage in any act, practice or course of business that operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon a client.

	Non-compliance with the provisions of this Code of Ethics will not be tolerated. Failure to abide by Arin's policies may expose you and/or Arin to significant consequences which may include disciplinary action, termination, regulatory sanctions, potential monetary sanctions and/or civil and criminal penalties.

	1.1.3	Ethics Requirements under State Securities Laws

	The legal regulatory structure does not require every adviser to be state registered. However, state "anti-fraud" and ethics laws and regulations continue to apply to each adviser doing business in the state. Accordingly, attention needs to be paid to the ethics requirements of each state where Arin Risk Advisors, LLC is doing business. State securities administrators have their own code of ethics. In April, 2004 the North American Security Administrators Association (NASAA) updated its Statement of Policy Concerning Unethical Business Practices of Investment Advisers (Statement). The Statement is used by a number of state securities administrators in evaluating the ethics of regulated advisers. The Statement identifies a number of specific practices which the state administrators define as unethical:

Code of Ethics

	•	Recommending to a client to whom supervisory, management or consulting services are provided the purchase, sale or exchange of any security without reasonable grounds to believe that the recommendation is suitable for the client on the basis of information furnished by the client after reasonable inquiry concerning the client's investment objectives, financial situation and needs, and

	•	any other information known by the investment adviser.

	•	Exercising any discretionary power in placing an order for the purchase or sale of securities for a client without obtaining written discretionary authority from the client within ten (10) business days after the date of the first transaction placed pursuant to oral discretionary authority, unless the discretionary power relates solely to the price at which, or the time when, an order involving a definite amount of a specified security shall be executed, or both.

	•	Inducing trading in a client's account that is excessive in size or frequency in view of the financial resources, investment objectives and character of the account in light of the fact that an adviser in such situations can directly benefit from the number of securities transactions effected in a client's account. The rule appropriately forbids an excessive number of transaction orders to be induced by an adviser for a "customer's account."

	•	Placing an order to purchase or sell a security for the account of a client without authority to do so.

	•	Placing an order to purchase or sell a security for the account of a client upon instruction of a third party without first having obtained a written third-party trading authorization from the client.

	•	Borrowing money or securities from a client unless the client is a broker-dealer, an affiliate of the investment adviser, or a financial institution engaged in the business of loaning funds.

	•	Loaning money to a client unless the investment adviser is a financial institution engaged in the business of loaning funds or the client is an affiliate of the investment adviser.

	•	To misrepresent to any advisory client, or prospective advisory client, the qualifications of the investment adviser or any employee of the investment adviser, or to misrepresent the nature of the advisory services being offered or fees to be charged for such service, or to omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made regarding qualifications, services or fees, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

	•	Providing a report or recommendation to any advisory client prepared by someone other than the adviser without disclosing that fact. (This prohibition does not apply to a situation where the adviser uses published research reports or statistical analyses to render advice or where an adviser orders such a report in the normal course of providing service.)

	•	Charging a client an unreasonable advisory fee.

Code of Ethics

•	Failing to disclose to clients in writing before any advice is rendered any material conflict of interest relating to the adviser or any of its employees which could reasonably be expected to impair the rendering of unbiased and objective advice including:

	a)	Compensation arrangements connected with advisory services to clients which are in addition to compensation from such clients for such services;
	b)	Charging a client an advisory fee for rendering advice when a commission for executing securities transactions pursuant to such advice will be received by the adviser or its employees; and
	c)	Any outside business interests or activities of an employee that may influence or impair advice to a client.

•	Guaranteeing to a client that a specific result will be achieved (gain or no loss) with advice, which will be rendered.

•	Publishing, circulating or distributing any advertisement which does not comply with Rule 206 (4)-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

•	Disclosing the identity, affairs, or investments of any client unless required by law to do so, or unless consented to by the client.

	1.1.4	Political Contributions

	The Company shall not accept an investor/client within two years after the Company or any Covered Associate make a contribution to an elected official of a government entity (incumbent, candidate or successful candidate) that is in a position, directly or indirectly, to influence the selection of the Company. As a general rule, the Company prohibits all Covered Associated from making political contributions to any elected official. Covered Associated may request an exception to this policy from the Chief Compliance Officer on a case-by-case basis. Covered Associates intending to contribute to an elected official must provide the Chief Compliance Officer with the name of the elected official, the amount of the contribution and the date of the election. No contributions by a Covered Associate will be permitted unless such contribution satisfy the following conditions: (1) the Covered Associate contributes no more than $350 to any one official, per election, if the Covered Associate is entitled to vote for the official at the time of the contribution, or (2) contributes no more than $150 to any official, per election, for officials for whom the Covered Associate is not entitled to vote at the time of the contribution. This prohibition shall not apply to any contribution made by any individual who made the contribution more than six months prior to becoming a Covered Associate of the Company unless such person, after becoming a Covered Associate, solicits clients on behalf of the Company. The Company and its Covered Associates shall not coordinate or solicit any person to make any contributions to an elected official (incumbent, candidate or successful candidate) of a government entity who is an investor/client or who the Company is seeking to be an investor/client and shall not coordinate or solicit payment to political parties of a state or locality who is an investor/client or seeking a government entity to be an investor/client.

Code of Ethics

	The Company shall not agree to pay or pay a third party, such as a solicitor or placement agent, to solicit government entity clients on behalf of the Company, unless that third party is an executive officer, general partner, managing member (or similar status) or employee of the Company, an SEC-registered investment adviser in compliance with Rule 206(4)-5 or broker-dealer subject to similar restrictions imposed by FINRA. "Covered Associate" shall mean: (i) Any general partner, managing member or executive officer, or other individual with a similar status or function; (ii) Any employee who solicits a government entity for the Company and any person who supervises, directly or indirectly, such employee; and (iii) Any political action committee controlled by the Company or by any of the aforementioned persons.

1.2	Reporting Personal Securities Transactions

The SEC Rules require reporting and monitoring of the investment activities of the firm's employees. When investment advisory personnel invest for their own accounts, conflicts of interest may arise between the client's and the employee's interests. The reporting regulations are designed to deter problem activity and to create a "level playing field." Arin Risk Advisors, LLC must maintain a record of all transactions in Reportable Securities in which an Access Person has a "direct or indirect beneficial interest." (See Section 1.2.3) Arin Risk Advisors, LLC undertakes to protect the privacy and security of the information provided by non-Access Persons' as a consequence of their relationship with one or more of Arin Risk Advisor, LLC's listed Access Persons. As such, the Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for ensuring that such reports are only distributed to those individuals who have a compliance need to view and analyze them.

As a matter of policy, Arin Risk Advisors, LLC designates ALL employees of the company as Access Persons' with respect to its compliance with Rule 204A-1.

	1.2.2	What are "Reportable Securities"

Code of Ethics

	(e)	Transactions in units of UIT's that are invested solely in the shares of unaffiliated open end mutual funds (e.g., variable product sub-accounts)

	Advised Funds include all funds for which Arin Risk Advisors, LLC serves as investment adviser and any fund whose investment adviser controls is controlled by or is under common control with, Arin Risk Advisors, LLC.

Each Access Person is responsible for checking the "restricted list" (See Appendix E) before engaging in any personal transaction.

1.3	Unethical Trading Practices

Any perceived violations of the Code will be immediately investigated, resolved, and documented as appropriate to the situation. The following practices are universally regarded as violations of SEC and/or state regulations and are subject to severe penalties if discovered:

Code of Ethics

Persons who have engaged in these transactions may be subject to the requirement that they give up any profits obtained or otherwise subjected to disciplinary action.

	b)	Does not have a prior trading history with respect to such security within the last 12 months;
	c)	Does not have any other discernible conflict of interest which may impair their objectivity with respect to the assignment.

	•	About which the public has not had a reasonable opportunity to make an investment decision,
	•	Communicated in breach of a fiduciary duty owed by employee or person under contract or professional relationship or misappropriated from such a person,

All Associated Persons are prohibited from such conduct including (a) trading or recommending trading in securities for any account (personal or client) while in possession of material, non-public information; or (b)communicating material, non-public information to any other person. The law absolutely requires that an adviser and any Associated Person refrain from any "Personal Securities Transactions" until the material nonpublic information becomes public. Rules and procedures for handling situations involving material nonpublic information are set forth in the Compliance and Procedures Manual. If in doubt, consult with the Chief Compliance Officer.
Reporting of Material, Non-Public Information

	1.5.2	Pending Transactions/Allocation of Investment Opportunities

Code of Ethics

	1.5.3	Public Commentary

	Care should be taken in writing and publishing newsletters, analyses and other public commentary on markets, funds and other securities not to place the employee or the Company in a situation where a recommendation to buy or sell could be seen as conferring a personal benefit. If in any doubt, check with the Chief Compliance Officer.

	Non-Cash Compensation, Defined : This term encompasses any form of compensation received by Arin Risk Advisors, LLC or any employee in connection with the sale and distribution of securities that is not cash compensation, including, but not limited to, merchandise, gifts and prizes, travel expenses, meals, lodging and securities.

Training and Education : Since various products and services are continuously offered, it is particularly important that employees receive educational opportunities whenever possible. Should employees of the firm attend training or education meetings held by a product sponsor or business partner, any related reimbursement or payment of expenses must be made to Arin Risk Advisors, LLC (not the employee individually, unless approved by the Chief Compliance Officer). Any such payment or reimbursement must not be conditioned by the offeror on the achievement of sales targets or other incentives, such as gathering a specific level of assets. Gifts to Clients and Solicitors : Any gifts given to a client or solicitor of Arin by any employee shall be approved by the Manager unless such gift is not more than $500.

Code of Ethics

	1.5.5	Service on Boards of Directors, Outside Business Activities, etc.
