Strategy. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund primarily seeks investments in the equity securities of companies that are both undervalued and undergoing change (special situations). Special situations are situations where the securities of a company are expected to appreciate as a result of company-specific developments (also referred to as catalysts) rather than general business conditions or movements of the market as a whole. Catalysts may include management changes, shareholder activism, and operational and financial restructurings ( e.g. , cost-cutting, asset sales, breakups, spinoffs, mergers, acquisitions, liquidations, share buybacks, recapitalizations, etc.).

Special situations are situations where the securities of a company are expected to appreciate as a result of company-specific developments (also referred to as catalysts) rather than general business conditions or movements of the market as a whole. Catalysts may include management changes, shareholder activism, and operational and financial restructurings ( e.g. , cost-cutting, asset sales, breakups, spinoffs, mergers, acquisitions, liquidations, share buybacks, recapitalizations, etc.). The Fund takes an opportunistic approach to global value investing and may invest in securities of issuers located in any country, in any industry, and of any market capitalization ( i.e. , share price times the number of common stock shares outstanding) size. The Fund may invest a significant percentage of its net assets in the securities of issuers it deems to be family-controlled companies. The Fund considers a family-controlled company to be a company in which an individual(s) or members of a family, directly or indirectly control a significant ownership interesttypically more than 20% of the outstanding voting sharesand can influence the destiny of the company through their involvement with, or control of, the companys Board of Directors and/or through their C-suite position within the company. The Fund will invest at least 40% of its assets, and may invest up to 100% of its assets, in the securities of issuers located in various foreign countries, including both developed and emerging markets, whose securities may be denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund determines where a company is located, and thus, whether a company is considered to be located in a foreign country by considering whether: (i) it is organized under the laws of or maintains its principal office in a country located outside the United States; (ii) its securities are principally traded on trading markets in countries located outside the United States; (iii) it derives at least 50% of its total revenue or profits from either goods produced or services performed or sales made in countries located outside the United States; or (iv) it has at least 50% of its assets in countries located outside the United States. The Fund may invest a significant percentage of its net assets in the securities of issuers located in Europe. Foreign securities may be issued and traded in foreign currencies. The Fund seeks to identify investment opportunities through extensive research and analysis of individual companies, and generally focuses less on stock market conditions or other macro factors. For these reasons, the Fund may seek investments in the securities of companies that the Funds sub-adviser, MFP Investors LLC (MFP or the Sub-Adviser), believes to be temporarily depressed. The debt securities which the Fund may purchase may either be unrated, or rated in any rating category established by one or more independent rating organizations, such as S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Moodys Investors Service (Moodys). The Fund may invest in securities that are rated in the medium to lowest rating categories by S&P and Moodys, some of which may be so-called junk bonds. The Fund will invest in debt securities based on their current yields and overall potential for capital appreciation, and therefore, such debt securities will have varying maturity dates. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in derivative instruments. These may include forward contracts, options and futures contracts. The Fund invests in derivatives primarily to hedge its exposure to changes in the values of foreign currencies, typically through the use of foreign currency derivatives, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific currency at a future date and at a price set at the time of the contract. In addition, the Fund may engage in short sales for the following purposes: (i) to hedge against declines of long portfolio positions, (ii) in merger arbitrage situations, and (iii) to profit from declining market values of securities that the Sub-Adviser deems to be overvalued. The Fund typically will hold an equity investment (other than an investment involving a merger arbitrage situation) for a substantial period of time (more than one year). The Fund will generally sell an investment when the Sub-Adviser determines that its target value has been reached, when there has been a fundamental change in the business or capital structure of the company which significantly affects the investments inherent value, when a position weighting needs to be downsized, when catalysts to recognize value no longer exist, when its original investment thesis changes, or when a better investment opportunity arises. Although the Fund does not have a policy to concentrate assets in any one industry, the Sub-Adviser may, at times, determine that a certain industry or industries offer the best opportunity to achieve the Funds investment objective. Therefore, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its total assets in an industry or industries, not to exceed 25% of the Funds total assets in any one industry at the time of purchase. The Fund expects to invest in a relatively small number of issuers. The Fund currently expects to invest a significant portion of its assets in the communication services, energy, financial, and industrials sectors, which means that the Fund will be more affected by the performance of such sectors than a fund that is not so significantly invested.
