| (3) | Investment Adviser |
| The Funds have an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Adviser to furnish investment management services to the Funds. Under the terms of the Agreement, each Fund compensates the Adviser for its investment management services at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. This fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. | |
| The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse each Fund's other expenses (the "Expense Limitation Caps") (excluding any taxes, expenses of leverage, interest, brokerage commissions, dividends and interest on short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses such as litigation) at least through March 31, 2027 to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund's operating expenses do not exceed 1.26%, 1.26%, 1.84%, 0.99%, 0.94%, 1.59%, 1.44% and 0.84% of the Fund's average daily net assets for the Investor Class, Class A, Class C, Class I1, Class I2, Class R1, Class R2 and Class Y shares for the Smead Value Fund and 1.25%, 1.42%, 2.00%, 1.15%, 1.10% and 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets for the Investor Class, Class A, Class C, Class I1, Class I2 and Class Y shares for the Smead International Value Fund, respectively. The Adviser is permitted to recoup management fee waivers and/or expense payments made in the three calendar years from the date fees were waived or expenses were reimbursed, but only if such recoupment does not cause the applicable Fund's total expense ratio (taking into account the recoupment) to exceed the expense cap at the time such amounts were waived or the Fund's then current expense cap. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, the Adviser waived expenses of $1,053 and $1,279 for the Smead Value Fund and Smead International Value Fund, respectively. The following table shows the waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery expiring on November 30: | |

| (9) | Principal Risks |
| General Investment Risks | |
| An investment in the Funds represents an indirect investment in the assets owned by the Funds. As with any mutual fund, the value of the assets owned by the Funds may move up or down, and as a result, an investment in the Funds at any point in time may be worth more or less than the original amount invested. | |
| Each Fund's transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery to or from their counterparties; therefore, the risk of counterparty default for listed securities is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have |
| received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligations. | |
| Market and Regulatory Risks | |
| Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and affect the Funds' performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. In addition, because of interdependencies between markets, events in one market may adversely impact other markets or issuers in which the Funds invest in unforeseen ways. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value and the Funds may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Funds invest. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes and actions by the Federal Reserve, may also impair Fund management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments. Future market or regulatory events may impact the Funds in unforeseen ways, such as causing the Funds to alter their existing strategies or potentially, to liquidate and close. | |
| Management Risk | |
| The Adviser's investment strategies for the Funds may not result in an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to other investments. | |
| Non-Diversification Risk | |
| Each Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in securities issued by or representing a small number of issuers. As a result, the Fund's performance may depend on the performance of a small number of issuers. | |
| Equity Investments Risks | |
|
Stock markets are volatile. Equity investments tend to go up or down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, in response to many factors, including a company's historical and prospective earnings, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions, and market liquidity. Due to the complexities of markets, events in one market or sector may adversely impact other markets or sectors. |
|
| (10) | Segment Reporting |
| The Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (''ASU 2023-07''). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect any Fund's financial position or its results of operations. The intent of ASU 2023-07 is, through improved segment disclosures, to enable investors to better understand an entity's overall performance and to assess its potential future cash flows. The Adviser acts as the Funds' chief operating decision maker (CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that each Fund has a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and each Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is |
| pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its respective prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund's portfolio manager(s). | |
|
The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Funds' Financial Statements. The Funds do not allocate operating expenses or assets to multiple segments, and accordingly, no additional segment disclosures are required. There were no intra-entity sales or transfers during the reporting period. The Funds primarily generate income through dividends, interest, and realized/unrealized gains on their investment portfolios. Expenses incurred, including management fees, Fund operating expenses, and transaction costs, are considered general Fund-level expenses and are not allocated to specific segments or business lines. |
|
| (11) | Subsequent Event |
| Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events through the date of issuance and determined that there are no material events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the Funds' financial statements. |
