(1)

The Sub-Advisory Fee is a fulcrum fee with a base or fulcrum of 50 bps (0.50%) and can range from 0.00% to 1.00% based on the Fund's performance relative to the Russell 2000? Growth Index, the Fund's benchmark.

(2)

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, not the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies.

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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:

Class	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	$715	$996	$1,277	$1,979
Class C	$228	$703	$1,205	$2,585
Class N	$126	$393	$681	$1,500

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 153% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies: The Fund's Sub-Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective by investing primarily in domestic growth-oriented, small-capitalization or "small-cap" common stocks of companies traded on U.S. stock exchanges or in the over-the-counter market using its proprietary stock selection process. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets (defined as net assets plus borrowing for investment purposes) in small cap companies. The Fund defines small capitalization companies as those companies whose market capitalizations are equal to or less than the largest company in the Russell 2000^? Index during the most recent 12-month period. For the most recent annual reconstitution published as of June 2025, the maximum market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000^? Index was approximately $15.7 billion, which will vary daily. The Sub-Adviser attempts to invest in companies trading at a discount to their growth rate.

In general, the Sub-Adviser buys securities of companies that it identifies as having a product or service with a superior value proposition coupled with a positive business outlook when it believes shares in those companies are attractively priced. The Sub-Adviser sells securities to limit overconcentration in individual stocks, to take advantage of attractive price level valuations and to remove those companies with eroding or less attractive value propositions. The Fund's Sub-Adviser may engage in active and frequent trading of the Fund's portfolio securities to achieve the Fund's investment objectives.

The Fund may also engage in securities lending.

Principal Investment Risks: As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Although the Fund will strive to meet its investment objective, there is no assurance that it will do so. Many factors affect the Fund's net asset value and performance.

Small Capitalization Risk - The Fund's investments in small cap companies carry more risks than investments in larger companies. Small cap companies often have narrower markets, fewer products, or services to offer and more limited managerial and financial resources than do larger, more established companies.

Stock Market Risk - Stock markets can be volatile. In other words, the prices of stocks can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions. The Fund's investments may decline in value if the stock markets perform poorly.

Information Technology Sector Risk - Investments in technology companies exposed to special risks, such as rapid advances in technology that might cause existing products to become obsolete. Companies in a number of technology industries are also subject to more government regulations and approval processes than many other industries. This fact may affect a company's overall profitability and cause its stock price to be more volatile. Additionally, technology companies are dependent upon consumer and business acceptance as new technologies evolve.

Liquidity Risk - Some securities may have few market-makers and low trading volume, which tend to increase transaction costs and may make it impossible for a Fund to dispose of a security position at all or at a price which represents current or fair market value.

Securities Lending Risk - The risk of securities lending is that the financial institution that borrows securities from the Fund could go bankrupt or otherwise default on its commitment under the securities lending agreement and the Fund might not be able to recover the loaned securities or their value.

Management Risk - The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Sub-Adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, "growth" potential of a company and the potential appreciation of securities may prove to be inaccurate and may not produce the desired results. The Sub-Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there is no guarantee that its decisions will produce the intended result.

Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk - Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease and illness, including pandemics and epidemics (such as the novel coronavirus), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets.

Performance: The following bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of Class N Shares of the Fund from year to year and by showing how the Fund's Class A, Class C and Class N average annual returns compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Class A sales charge is reflected in the average annual total return table. Past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how a Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund has added this additional benchmark.

**

The Morningstar Small Cap Growth Category is generally representative of mutual funds that primarily invest in small (small capitalization) U.S. companies that are projected to grow faster than other small-cap stocks.

After-tax returns are estimated and are based on the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes; actual after-tax returns depend on an individual investor's tax situation and are likely to differ from those shown. If you own shares of the Fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information is not applicable to your investment, because such accounts are only subject to taxes upon distribution. After tax returns for Class C and Class A shares, which are not shown, will vary from those of Class N shares.

Tax Information

Dividends and capital gain distributions you receive from a Fund, whether you reinvest your distributions in additional Fund shares or receive them in cash, are taxable to you at either ordinary income or capital gains tax rates unless you are investing through a tax-deferred plan such as an IRA or 401(k) plan. However, these dividend and capital gain distributions may be taxable upon their eventual withdrawal from tax-deferred plans.

Financial Intermediary Compensation

If you purchase a Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
