| 4 | "Other expenses" have been restated to reflect estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. |
| 5 | The total annual fund operating expenses and total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursements do not correlate to the ratio of expense to average net assets appearing in the financial highlights table, which reflects only the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses. |
| 6 | The Fund's advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses (excluding, as applicable, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, acquired fund fees and expenses (as determined in accordance with Form N-1A), expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 1.43%, 2.18% and 1.18% of the average daily net assets of the Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Class Shares, respectively. This agreement is in effect through April 30, 2027, and may be terminated before that date only by the Trust's Board of Trustees. The Fund's advisor is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Fund for a period ending three full fiscal years after the date of the waiver or payment. This reimbursement may be requested from the Fund if the reimbursement will not cause the Fund's annual expense ratio to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limitation in effect at the time such fees were waived or payments made, or (b) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the reimbursement. |
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the costs 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 example reflects the Fund's contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement only for the term of the contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
| One Year | Three Years | Five Years | Ten Years | |
| Class A Shares | $566 | $880 | $1,217 | $2,165 |
| Class C Shares | $326 | $705 | $1,213 | $2,609 |
| Institutional Class Shares | $122 | $398 | $695 | $1,538 |
You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
| One Year | Three Years | Five Years | Ten Years | |
| Class C Shares | $223 | $705 | $1,213 | $2,609 |
