| (1) | Wellesley Asset Management, Inc. ("Wellesley" or the "Advisor"), the Fund's advisor, has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund until February 28, 2027, to the extent necessary to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Advisory Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (subject to the following exclusions) to the annualized rate of 0.99% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class I (the "Expense Limitation"). The Expense Limitation will exclude (not limit) interest charges on borrowings, taxes, brokerage commissions, dealer spreads and other transaction costs, capitalized expenditures, acquired fund fees and expenses, short sale dividends, and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business (e.g., litigation, indemnification). The expense limitation agreement provides that Wellesley may recoup from the Fund if the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Advisory Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement fall below the Expense Limitation during the 36 month period following such waiver or reimbursement, provided the Fund is able to effect recoupment while remaining in compliance with the Expense Limitation.

Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The expense limitation agreement discussed above is reflected only through February 28, 2027. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | |
| Class I | $101 | $330 | $578 | $1,288 |
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 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 134% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Wellesley the Fund's advisor, seeks to maximize total return comprising current income and capital appreciation and preserve principal by investing in a portfolio consisting primarily of intermediate bonds. The Fund defines bonds as including corporate bonds, notes and debentures, convertible and synthetic convertible bonds, government securities, mortgage and other asset-backed securities, and other securities that Wellesley believes have bond-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.
Under normal conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets (defined as net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of bonds with a dollar-weighted average maturity of between three and ten years (the "80% Policy"). The Fund's 80% investment policy is a non-fundamental policy and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days' written notice to shareholders. The convertible bonds purchased by the Fund may contain put options that entitle the holder to sell the security back to the issuer at a stated price on one or more future dates.
The Fund primarily invests in bonds of companies that are domiciled in, or have their principal place of business or principal securities trading market in, or that derive at least 50% of their revenue or profits from goods produced, sales made or services performed in, the United States ("U.S. companies"). The Fund invests in intermediate bonds issued by companies in a variety of sectors including the financial services sector.
| 2 |
The Fund expects that, at the time of purchase, most securities will have remaining maturities or put provisions of three to ten years, but there are no restrictions on the maximum or minimum maturity of any individual security that the Fund may purchase. The Fund is not restricted with respect to the credit quality of its holdings and invests in some bonds that are rated less than investment grade or determined to be of comparable credit quality by Wellesley.
The bonds in which the Fund invests generally provide for repayment of principal in full at maturity of the security and may pay a fixed or variable rate of interest. Some debt securities, such as zero -coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Most convertible bonds are obligations of a company that can be converted into a predetermined number of shares of common stock of the company issuing the security. Convertible bonds generally offer both defensive characteristics (i.e., provide income during periods when the market price of the underlying common stock declines) and upside potential (i.e., may provide capital appreciation when the market price of the underlying common stock rises). Synthetic convertible bonds are financial instruments created by combining two or more separate securities that, in total, have returns that are similar to a convertible bond. Synthetic convertible bonds are created by third parties which are typically investment banks and brokerage firms. They may include structured equity linked products ("SELPs") and index-linked and equity-linked convertible structured notes. There is no limit on the portion of the Fund's portfolio that will be allocated among convertible bonds, synthetic convertibles corporate bonds, government securities and other types of bonds. The Fund generally will invest in securities that have been privately placed but are eligible for purchase and sale by certain qualified institutional buyers such as the Fund under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
Wellesley will purchase a bond when it believes there is a high probability that the principal amount of the investment will be repaid upon put or maturity and, in the case of a convertible bond, that the conversion component offers potential upside. Wellesley attempts to identify bonds that are trading at attractive valuations relative to Wellesley's evaluation of the issuer's creditworthiness. Wellesley's investment process includes the use of both quantitative and fundamental research on each issuer to analyze credit quality and the specific terms of each offering. In general, Wellesley sells securities when an issuer's credit quality deteriorates, the conversion feature of a convertible security is no longer a likely source of capital appreciation, to increase diversification, or when Wellesley believes more attractive investments are available.
In addition to convertible bonds, the Fund may invest in other types of securities and instruments, short-term debt securities, and money market instruments.
Principal Investment Risks
Investing in any mutual fund involves risk, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment, and that you may lose part or all of your investment. Therefore, before you invest in this Fund you should carefully evaluate the risks. The price of Fund shares will increase and decrease according to changes in the value of the Fund's investments. The other principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
| 3 |
| ● | Convertible Bond Risk: Convertible bonds are hybrid securities that have characteristics of both bonds and common stocks and are subject to risks associated with both debt securities and equity securities. Convertible bonds that are rated below investment grade are subject to the risks associated with high-yield investments. |
| ● | Active Management Risk: Wellesley's objective judgments about the attractiveness and potential appreciation of particular investments in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that the Fund's investment strategy will produce the desired results. |
| ● | Bond Risk: The Fund invests in debt obligations of U.S. companies and the U.S. government. Such U.S. government securities include a variety of securities that are issued or guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by the U.S. government, or by various agencies and instrumentalities established or sponsored by the U.S. government. The Fund may also invest in debt securities issued by state and local municipalities. Debt securities may pay fixed, variable, inflation indexed, or other rates of return, including zero-coupon and original issue discount bonds. The Fund may invest in debt securities of any quality, including debt securities that are below investment grade (commonly called "high yield" or "junk" bonds). |
| ● | Corporate Bond Risk: Corporate bonds are backed only by the issuer, and therefore, investments in corporate bonds are subject to issuer risk. Additionally, credit risk is created when the debt issuer fails to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or negative perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments may cause the price of that debt to decline. |
| ● | Cybersecurity Risk: Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, the Advisor, and other service providers or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions, negatively impact the Fund's business operations and/or potentially result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems seeking to address system breaches or failures, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems of the Fund's service providers or issuers of securities in which the Fund invests. |
| ● | Derivatives Risk: The derivative instruments in which the Fund may invest either directly or through an underlying fund, may be more volatile than other instruments. The risks associated with investments in derivatives also include liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the market value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested. In addition, if a derivative is being used for hedging purposes there can be no assurance given that each derivative position will achieve a perfect correlation with the security or currency against which it is being hedged, or that a particular derivative position will be available when sought by the portfolio manager. |
| 4 |
| ● | Equity Securities Risk: The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes. Stock prices in general may decline over short or even extended periods of time. |
| ● | Fixed Income Risk: Fixed income securities are subject to a number of risks, including credit and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or obligor will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of an issuer's creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund's investment in that issuer. |
| ● | High Yield Risk: Lower-quality securities, such as "high yield" or "junk" bonds, present a significant risk for loss of principal and interest. These securities offer the potential for higher return, but also involve greater risk than securities of higher quality, including an increased possibility that the issuer, obligor or guarantor may not be able to make its payments of interest and principal. Lower credit quality high yield securities are especially sensitive to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions and may have significant default rates and price volatility. |
| ● | Interest Rate Risk: The market value of debt securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and tends to increase as interest rates decline. An issuer of a debt security may not be able to make principal and interest payments on the security as they become due. Debt securities may also be subject to prepayment or redemption risk, which tends to increase when the coupon or interest payment is greater than prevailing interest rates. |
| ● | Portfolio Turnover Risk: Increased portfolio turnover causes the Fund to incur higher brokerage costs, which may adversely affect the Fund's performance and may produce increased taxable distributions. |
| ● | Private Placement and Illiquid Securities Risk: Certain securities are privately placed but are eligible for purchase and sale by certain qualified institutional buyers such as the Fund under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. If any Rule 144A security held by the Fund should become illiquid, the value of the security may be reduced and a sale of the security may be more difficult. |
| ● | Recent Market Events Risk: The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, tariffs and trade wars, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S., and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect |
| 5 |
global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of the Fund's investments, including beyond the Fund's direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. Those events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund's investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Fund and of the Fund's service providers.
| ● | Sector Risk: The Fund may focus its investments in securities of a particular sector. Economic, legislative or regulatory developments may occur that significantly affect the entire sector. This may cause the Fund's NAV to fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not focus in a particular sector. |
| o | Biotech and Pharma Risk: Companies in the biotech and pharmaceuticals industry may be highly volatile and affected by industry competition, dependency on a limited number of products, obsolescence of products, government approvals and regulations, loss or impairment of intellectual property rights and litigation regarding product liability. |
| o | Technology Risk: Technology companies, may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Technology companies typically face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. They are also heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by the loss or impairment of those rights. Companies in the technology sector are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action. |
| ● | Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Compared to large-capitalization companies, small-and mid-capitalization companies may be less stable and more susceptible to adverse developments. In addition, the securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies may be more volatile and less liquid than those of large-capitalization companies. |
| ● | Synthetic Convertible Bond Risk: Synthetic convertible bonds are derivative debt securities and are subject to the creditworthiness of the counterparty of the synthetic security. The value of a synthetic convertible bond may decline substantially if the counterparty's creditworthiness deteriorates. The value of a synthetic convertible bond may also respond differently to market fluctuations than a convertible bond because a synthetic convertible is composed of two or more separate securities, each with its own market value. |
| ● | Tax Risk: The federal income tax treatment of convertible securities or other securities in which the Fund may invest may not be clear or may be subject to recharacterization by the Internal Revenue Service. It could be more difficult to comply with the tax requirements applicable to RICs if the tax characterization of investments or the tax treatment of the income from such investments were successfully challenged by the Internal Revenue Service. |
| 6 |
| ● | Temporary Investments Risk: While the Fund is in a defensive position, the opportunity to achieve its investment objective will be limited and the Fund may not meet its investment objective. Furthermore, to the extent that the Fund invests in money market mutual funds for its cash position, there will be some duplication of expenses because the Fund and indirectly, its shareholders bear a pro-rata portion of such money market funds' advisory fees and operational fees in addition to those of the Fund. |
| ● | U.S. Dollar-Denominated Foreign Bonds: Investments in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds that are issued by non-U.S. companies may be subject to some of the risks associated with investing in foreign securities. For example, values of foreign investments may be affected by changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws (including withholding tax), changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy (in this country or abroad) or changed circumstances in dealings between nations. |
| ● | Volatility Risk: The risk that the value of the securities in which the Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be temporary or may last for extended periods. |
| ● | Zero-coupon Bond Risk: These securities pay no interest during the life of the security, and are issued by a wide variety of governmental and corporate issuers. They often are sold at a deep discount. Zero-coupon bonds may be subject to greater price changes as a result of changing interest rates than bonds that make regular interest payments; their value tends to grow more during periods of falling interest rates and, conversely, tends to fall more during periods of rising interest rates. Although not traded on a national securities exchange, zero-coupon bonds are widely traded by brokers and dealers, and generally are considered liquid. Holders of zero-coupon bonds are required by federal income tax laws to pay taxes on the interest, even though such payments are not actually being made. To avoid federal income tax liability, the Fund may have to make distributions to shareholders and may have to sell some assets at inappropriate times in order to generate cash for the distributions. |
An investment in the Fund is not a complete investment program and you should consider it just one part of your total investment program. You will find a more complete discussion of risk on page 28 of this Prospectus.
