Effective May 1, 2026, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion (0.05%) of its management fee for the fund, at least through April 30, 2027, so that the Management Fee is 0.25% for the period. The Adviser may not unilaterally change the contract until May 1, 2027. Additionally, a portion (0.10%) of the 12b-1 fee is also being waived through April 30, 2027 for Class F shares.
EXPENSE 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 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 on these assumptions your cost will be:

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 the 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 35.87% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES OF THE FUND
The fund's strategy seeks to provide a diversified portfolio of investment grade bonds with aggregate risk, return, and income characteristics that are similar to those of 1-to-3-year bonds. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any amounts for borrowing, in a broad range of investment grade fixed income securities, including bonds, notes, domestic and foreign corporate and government securities, government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, municipal securities, and short-term obligations. The fund does not limit itself to securities of a particular maturity range but will normally seek to maintain a dollar weighted average duration between 1 to 3 years. Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed income security that is used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. For example, the value of a portfolio of fixed income securities with an average duration of one year would generally be expected to decline by approximately 1% if interest rates rose by 1%.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
All investments carry a certain amount of risk, and the fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the fund is not a deposit or obligation of any bank, is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank, and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other governmental agency. You may lose money by
JOHNSON INSTITUTIONAL SHORT DURATION BOND FUND | SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | MAY 1, 2026
investing in the fund. Below are the main risks of investing in the fund. All of the risks listed below are significant to the fund, regardless of the order in which they appear.
Asset-backed Securities Risk - Asset-backed securities are subject to credit risk because underlying loan borrowers may default. Additionally, these securities are subject to prepayment risk because the underlying loans held by the issuers may be paid off prior to maturity. The value of these securities may go down as a result of changes in prepayment rates on the underlying loans. During periods of declining interest rates, prepayment rates usually increase, and the fund may have to reinvest prepayment proceeds at a lower interest rate.
Credit Risk - The issuer of the fixed income security (including some Government Agencies) may not be able to make interest and principal payments when due, resulting in losses to the fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the fund may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition changes.
Foreign Securities Risk - Foreign securities may be subject to special risks such as changes in restrictions on foreign currency transactions and rates of exchange, and changes in the administration or economic and monetary policies of foreign governments.
Interest Rate Risk - Prices of fixed-income securities rise and fall in response to changes in the interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed-income securities fall. However, market factors, such as the demand for particular fixed-income securities, may cause the price of certain fixed-income securities to fall while the prices of other securities rise or remain unchanged. Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed-income securities with longer maturities. A potential rise in interest rates may result in periods of volatility and increased redemptions.
Management Risk - The Adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, value, and potential appreciation of particular securities in which the fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that the Adviser's judgment will produce the desired results.
Market Risk - The fund value might decrease in response to general market and economic conditions.
Market and Geopolitical Risk - The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region, or financial market. 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. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets.
Mortgage-backed Securities Risk - Mortgage-backed securities represent interests in "pools" of mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to "prepayment risk" and "extension risk." Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, certain types of obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated and the fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. Extension risk is the risk that, when interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated causing the value of these securities to fall. Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. These securities also are subject to risk of default on the underlying mortgage, particularly during periods of economic downturn.
Municipal Securities Risk - Municipal securities are subject to the risk that legislative changes and local and business developments may adversely affect the yield or value of the fund's investments in such securities. Municipal general obligation debt issuers may not be able to levy or collect enough taxes as necessary to make full and timely payments to investors. Municipal revenue obligation debt issuers may experience shortfalls in revenues, such as sales taxes, fuel taxes, or hotel occupancy taxes, generated by the particular project being financed. The fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business, or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in bonds of similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), industrial development bonds, or in bonds from issuers in a particular state.
Prepayment Risk - The value of the mortgage securities held by the fund may go down as a result of changes in prepayment rates on the underlying mortgages.
Sector Risk - At times, the fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers within a particular sector or sectors of the economy. As a result, the Fund may be more vulnerable to events, conditions, or developments that adversely affect those sectors and may experience greater volatility than a fund that invests more broadly across multiple sectors. Companies within a sector often face similar business risks and are subject to similar regulatory, economic,
JOHNSON INSTITUTIONAL SHORT DURATION BOND FUND | SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | MAY 1, 2026
market, and political factors. Adverse developments affecting a particular sector, including changes in market demand, interest rates, technological developments, regulation, or competition, may negatively affect the value of the Fund's investments and cause the Fund to underperform funds that are more diversified.
Specific Maturity Risk - The specific maturities in which the fund invests may fall in value more than other maturities.
Generally, a portfolio of bonds with a longer effective maturity will fluctuate more than a portfolio of bonds with a shorter effective maturity.

The fund's broad-based securities market index is the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, which is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, US dollar denominated, fixed-income taxable bond market.
The ICE BofA US Government & Corporate Bond 1-3 Year Index tracks the performance of short-term, investment-grade debt, including US Treasuries, agencies, and corporate bonds with maturities between 1 and 3 years. It is used as a benchmark for low-duration, high-quality fixed income, with components rated BBB or higher. This Index represents the market sector in which the fund invests and is utilized by the Adviser for measuring performance.
The index is unmanaged, does not reflect fees or expenses (which would lower return), and is not available for direct investment.
