The Parvin Hedged Equity Solari World Fund (the "Fund") seeks capital preservation, current income, and growth.

(1) 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 highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund.

(2) The Fund's Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least through March 31, 2026, to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and reimbursement (exclusive of any acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expenses, dividend expenses on short sales, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 2.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund within three years of the date on which the waiver or reimbursement occurs, if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limits or the expense limits in place at the time of recoupment. This agreement may be terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees, on 60 days written notice to the Adviser.

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 as those reflected in the above fee table. The Example assumes the impact of the fee waiver in 1 Year example. 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

$230

$869

$1,533

$3,310

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 operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 32.68% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY:

Parvin Asset Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser") seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective by investing pursuant to a strategy designed for more risk-averse investors to realize the growth and income potential of stocks but guard against the full impact of market losses. The Sub-Adviser utilizes a global universe of stocks for this strategy. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The Fund's investment in equity securities may be of any market capitalization. In addition, under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in at least three countries (one of which may be the United States) and will invest at least 40% of its total assets at the time of purchase in non-U.S. companies. Of investments held in the Fund, approximately 30%-60% are expected to be U.S. domestic companies, approximately 30%-60% companies located in international developed markets, and approximately 10%-30% companies domiciled in emerging markets. The Sub-Adviser expects international equity investments to include American Depositary Receipts ("ADR's") that trade in U.S. markets. The Fund considers emerging market issuers to be those countries represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Sub-Adviser expects the Fund's portfolio to hold between 25-80 investment positions, of which 3-5 may be equity index put options comprising approximately 5% of the overall portfolio. The Fund is a diversified investment company.

Potential investments for the Fund's portfolio are first screened by Solari Investment Screens, LLC (the "Screen Manager" or "Solari"), primarily for governance concerns. The Screen Manager considers corporate governance as the primary concern in seeking long-term returns since management is naturally led toward appropriate decision-making when moral, ethical and legal considerations are addressed through good governance. Well-governed enterprises should find that complaints about institutional corruption, environmental damage and equitable treatment are limited. Solari screens for: (1) companies with proven leadership and management

3

who can provide disciplined governance along with effective strategic direction; (2) companies with fundamentally lawful business models; (3) companies that do not incur risk from technically legal but highly unethical business practices; (4) companies that prosper in private markets and are not materially dependent on direct or indirect government subsidy; and (5) companies that provide transparent disclosure. Solari looks for companies that avoid corporate voyeurism, financial fraud, abusive behavior, fake food, health mandates, private prisons, security exploitation, and non-native radiation, among other activities. The Screen Manager believes these companies are usually more decentralized and often enable their customers to realize a more self-reliant, independent lifestyle.

Following Solari's investment screen, the Sub-Adviser selects stocks of profitable, attractively valued companies that are expected to generate a positive total economic return to both shareholders and society at large. The Sub-Adviser's selection process targets seasoned, well-capitalized businesses generating cash from profitable operations in markets around the world. The Sub-Adviser looks for stock holdings that are usually characterized by relatively high returns on capital; reasonably steady earnings growth; attractive valuation; substantial income, as appropriate; and diversification across six, or more, economic sectors. The Fund is further diversified across geographic locations. The Sub-Adviser will hedge the Fund's equity exposure by using put options on equity indexes and exchange traded funds ("ETFs") that invest in stocks held by equity indexes. The Sub-Adviser attempts to generate additional gains or income from premiums received writing (selling) cash-backed put options and covered call options on individual stocks. The Sub-Adviser seeks to provide returns that reflect a combination of the lower volatility of bonds and the higher appreciation of stocks.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS:

As with all mutual funds, there is risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Investing in the Fund can result in a loss of some or all amounts invested. All of the risks listed below are material to the Fund, regardless of the order in which they appear.

Equity Risk: Equity security values held by the Fund may fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of the securities participate or other factors relating to the companies.

Foreign Securities Risk: Changes in foreign economies and political climates are more likely to affect the Fund than a mutual fund that invests exclusively in U.S. companies. Foreign companies are generally not subject to the same regulatory requirements of U.S. companies thereby resulting in less publicly available information about these companies. In addition, foreign accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards generally differ from those applicable to U.S. companies.

ADR Risk: In addition to the risks of investing in foreign securities discussed below, there is no guarantee that an ADR issuer will continue to offer a particular ADR. As a result, the Fund may have difficulty selling the ADRs, or selling them quickly and efficiently at the prices at which they have been valued.

4

Emerging Markets Risk: Investing in emerging markets involves not only the risks described below with respect to investing in foreign securities, but also other risks, including exposure to economic structures that are generally less diverse and mature, and to political systems that can be expected to have less stability, than those of developed countries. The typically small size of the markets of securities of issuers located in emerging markets and the possibility of a low or nonexistent volume of trading in those securities may also result in a lack of liquidity and in price volatility of those securities.

Hedging Risk: Hedging is a strategy in which the Fund uses an option to offset the risks associated with other Fund holdings. There can be no assurance that the Fund's hedging strategy will reduce risk or that hedging transactions will be either available or cost effective potentially resulting in losses for the Fund.

Options Risks: The Fund may lose money using options, regardless of the purpose for using such instruments. Using options may increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value and may involve a small investment relative to the risk assumed. The Adviser's option strategy may not perform as expected, resulting in potential losses for the Fund.

Investment Risk: You could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit to a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Large-Capitalization Risk: Larger, more established companies may be unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies during periods of economic expansion.

Management Risk: The Fund is an actively managed portfolio. The Sub-Adviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Sub-Adviser's dependence on the Solari investment screen strategy and its own judgments about the profitability, attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular asset classes and securities in which the Fund invests may prove to be misplaced and may not produce the desired results. The Fund could lose value or its investment results could lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.

Market and Geopolitical Risk: The prices of securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Fund. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. There is a risk that you may lose money by investing in the Fund.

Sector Risk: The Fund may focus its investments in securities of a particular sector from time to time. Economic, legislative or regulatory developments may occur that significantly affect the sector. This may cause the Fund's net asset value to fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not focus in a particular sector.

5

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Stock Risk: The stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies.
