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 and you reinvest all dividends and distributions. Although your actual costs may
be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would 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 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 86% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY
OF THE FUND
The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of established U.S. companies with large market
capitalization (equity market capitalization of more than $5 billion). In selecting investments for the Fund, the Adviser chooses stocks of companies which it believes have above-average growth potential at attractive prices. The Adviser’s
investment process begins with a top-down analysis of industry sectors that it believes have the best potential for long-term growth based on an overall analysis of the macroeconomic environment. It then searches for the most attractive
opportunities within those areas, based on a qualitative and quantitative analysis. The Adviser’s investment strategy often involves overweighting the Fund’s position in the industry sectors which it believes hold the most growth potential
relative to the weightings such industry sectors represent in the Fund’s benchmark. The Fund invests primarily in U.S. common stocks, but may, to a lesser extent, invest in foreign common stocks and American Depositary Receipts
(“ADRs”) that meet the investment criteria of the Fund.
The Adviser purchases companies for the long-term,
and seeks to keep the Fund’s portfolio turnover to a minimum relative to its peers. The Adviser may sell a security if the reason for its original purchase changes or when it believes better opportunities are available.
The Fund has adopted a policy that it will invest at least 80% of its net assets, under normal circumstances, in equity securities.
This policy may be changed by the Fund upon 60 days’ notice to shareholders.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN
THE FUND
The Fund’s share price will fluctuate. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund and the
Fund could also return less than other investments. The Fund is subject to the principal risks summarized below.
Equity Securities Risk:
The Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time.
Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by these companies may decline in response to such developments, which could result in a
decline in the value of the Fund’s shares.
Foreign Securities Risk:
The risk that investing in securities
of foreign (non-U.S.) companies may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to less liquid markets and adverse economic, political, diplomatic,
financial, and regulatory factors. Foreign governments also may impose limits on investment and repatriation and impose taxes. Any of these events could cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. ADRs are securities that evidence
ownership interests in a security or a pool of securities issued by a foreign issuer. The risks of ADRs include many risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, such as individual country risk and liquidity risk.
Growth Investing Risk:
The Fund is subject to the risk that its growth-oriented style of investing may underperform other
investment styles or the equity markets as a whole. A principal risk of growth investing is that prices of growth stocks may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks.

Investment Focus Risk:
Although the Fund is diversified, because the Fund may
invest a significant portion of its assets in the industry sectors which it believes hold the most growth potential, poor performance or adverse economic events affecting one or more of these overweighted sectors could have a greater impact on the
Fund than it would on another mutual fund with a broader range of investments.
Large Cap Risk:
Large cap risk is
the risk that stocks of larger companies may underperform relative to those of small and mid-sized companies. Large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and
also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Management Risk:
The risk that a strategy used by the Adviser may fail to produce the intended results.
Market Risk:
Market risk is the risk that the market value of a security may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.
