Loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund.

Equity Risk. The Fund is subject to the typical risks of equity investing, which include, but are not limited to: loss of money, company-specific risks, the effects of interest rate fluctuations, investor psychology and negative market or other general economic news. The value of your investment will increase or decrease, so your shares may be worth more or less money than your original investment.

Dividend-Paying Stock Risk. The companies held by the Fund may reduce or stop paying dividends, which may affect the Fund’s ability to generate income. The Adviser’s approach in selecting dividend-paying securities may go out of favor with investors. This may cause the Fund to underperform relative to other mutual funds that do not emphasize dividend-paying stocks.

Market Sector Concentration Risk. In pursuing its investment strategy, the Fund, at times, may concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, the Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. Such industry-based risks may include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions or cyclical market patterns that could negatively affect supply and demand in a particular industry; competition for resources; adverse labor relations; political events; obsolescence of technologies; and increased competition. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole.

Industrials Risk. Industrials companies are engaged in the manufacture and distribution of capital goods, such as those used in defense, construction and engineering, companies that manufacture and distribute electrical equipment and industrial machinery and those that provide commercial and transportation services and supplies. Industrials companies may be adversely affected by changes in government regulation, world events and economic conditions. In addition, companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by environmental damages, product liability claims and exchange rates.

Geopolitical Risk. Occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, country instability, infectious disease epidemics, pandemics and other public health issues, market instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers and other governmental trade or market control programs, the potential exit of a country from its respective union and related geopolitical events, may result in market volatility and may have long-lasting impacts on both the U.S. and global financial markets. For example, the U.S. government has imposed, and may in the future further increase, tariffs on certain foreign goods, and some foreign governments have instituted retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. goods. These and any further actions that may be taken by the U.S. and foreign governments with respect to trade policy may impair the value of your investment in the Fund.

“Value Style” Investing Risk. Investing in undervalued companies, including companies undergoing restructuring or emerging from bankruptcy, presents special risks, since these companies must overcome the investing public’s negative perceptions, which may have resulted from any number of catalysts or events, including but not limited to, declarations of bankruptcy or corporate restructurings. Often, such companies are subject to specific plans imposed by their lenders that they must meet in a fairly short time frame. Generally, companies going through corporate restructuring are more likely than others to remain undervalued. “Value style” investing may fall out of favor with investors and underperform other investment styles. Moreover, there can be no guarantee that the company’s market price will appreciate toward its intrinsic value, as estimated by the Adviser.

Financial Services Risk. Financial services companies can be significantly affected by changing economic conditions, demand for consumer loans, refinancing activity and intense competition, including price competition. Profitability can be largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital and the rate of consumer debt defaults, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change; unstable and/or rising interest rates may have a disproportionate effect on companies in the financial services sector. Financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation, which can change frequently and may adversely affect the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain, or may affect them in other ways that are unforeseeable. In the past, financial services companies in general experienced considerable financial distress, which led to the implementation of government programs designed to ease that distress.

Management Risk. If a portfolio manager is incorrect in the assessment of the growth prospects of the securities the Fund holds, then the value of the Fund’s shares may decline.

Small and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk. Investing in securities of small- and mid-cap companies presents more risks than investing in securities of more established or large-cap companies. Smaller companies often have more limited resources and greater variation in operating results, leading to greater price volatility. Trading volumes may be lower, making such securities less liquid. Small- and mid-cap companies may have a shorter history of operations or less diversified product lines — making them more susceptible to market pressures. During some periods, stocks of small and mid-sized companies, as an asset class, have underperformed the stocks of larger companies.

These and any further actions that may be taken by the U.S. and foreign governments with respect to trade policy may impair the value of your investment in the Fund.

Large Shareholder Risk. Certain shareholders, including the Adviser and its affiliates, may own a substantial amount of the Fund’s shares. The Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a large portion of their Fund shares will adversely affect the Fund’s performance by requiring the Fund to sell portfolio securities, potentially at disadvantageous prices, to raise the cash needed to satisfy the redemption request. Redemptions of a large number of shares also may affect the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, increase transaction costs or, by necessitating a sale of portfolio securities, have adverse tax consequences for Fund shareholders. Additionally, redemptions that require the Fund to sell portfolio securities may limit the Fund’s ability to use capital loss carryforwards and other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any).
