Investment objective & strategy

As of Jan. 27, 2026 · prospectus

Objective. The First American Multi-Manager Domestic Equity Fund (Domestic Equity Fund) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. Any income received is incidental to this objective.

Strategy. In seeking long-term capital appreciation, the Domestic Equity Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of U.S. based companies, in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities, and in ETFs and other registered investment companies investing in equity securities of U.S. based companies. Companies are considered to be U.S. based if they are organized under the laws of the United States, have a principal office in the United States, or have their principal securities market in the United States. The Domestic Equity Funds investments in equity securities of U.S. based companies typically consist primarily of common stocks, including initial public offerings (IPOs), … In seeking long-term capital appreciation, the Domestic Equity Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of U.S. based companies, in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities, and in ETFs and other registered investment companies investing in equity securities of U.S. based companies. Companies are considered to be U.S. based if they are organized under the laws of the United States, have a principal office in the United States, or have their principal securities market in the United States. The Domestic Equity Funds investments in equity securities of U.S. based companies typically consist primarily of common stocks, including initial public offerings (IPOs), but may also include preferred stocks of such companies. The Domestic Equity Fund may also invest in foreign equity securities and depositary receipts. The Domestic Equity Fund invests in issuers with market capitalizations in all ranges, including small-, medium- and large-capitalization companies. At times, the Fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in one or more passively managed ETFs. As of the date of this prospectus, the Domestic Equity Fund invested a significant portion of its net assets in one ETF. The Domestic Equity Fund utilizes a multi-manager approach whereby U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. (Adviser or USBAM) may allocate all or a portion of the Domestic Equity Funds assets to one or more sub-advisers. Each sub-adviser acts independently from the other sub-advisers and utilizes its own distinct investment style in selecting securities and managing the portion of the Domestic Equity Funds assets to which the sub-adviser has been allocated. Each sub-adviser manages its portion of the Domestic Equity Funds assets in a manner consistent with the Domestic Equity Funds investment objective, strategies and restrictions. The Adviser has overall responsibility for the Domestic Equity Funds investments, and for selecting and overseeing the Domestic Equity Funds sub-advisers. Not all of the sub-advisers listed for the Domestic Equity Fund may be actively managing assets for the Domestic Equity Fund at all times. The Adviser also has discretion to manage directly all or a portion of the Domestic Equity Fund. The principal investment strategies employed by the Domestic Equity Fund include the following: All-Capitalization . The all-capitalization strategies invest in common stocks of any capitalization size that the sub-adviser(s) believe have strong long-term fundamentals, superior capital appreciation potential and attractive valuations. Certain all-capitalization strategies are expected to have a tilt toward large-capitalization companies, or a tilt toward mid-/small-capitalization companies. The Domestic Equity Fund expects to allocate up to 30% of its assets to all-capitalization strategies. Large-Capitalization. The large-capitalization strategies invest in common stocks of large-capitalization companies that the sub-adviser(s) believe have strong long-term fundamentals, superior capital appreciation potential and attractive valuations. Under normal circumstances, the Domestic Equity Funds large-capitalization strategies define a large-capitalization company as a constituent of the Russell 1000 or S&P 500 Indices at the time of acquisition. The Domestic Equity Fund expects to allocate up to 50% of its assets to large-capitalization strategies. Mid-Capitalization . The mid-capitalization strategies invest in common stocks of mid-capitalization companies that the sub-adviser(s) believe have strong long-term fundamentals, superior capital appreciation potential and attractive valuations. Under normal circumstances, the Domestic Equity Fund's mid-capitalization strategies define a mid-capitalization company as a constituent of the Russell Mid Cap or S&P 400 Indices at the time of acquisition. The Domestic Equity Fund expects to allocate up to 20% of its assets to mid-capitalization strategies. Small-Capitalization . The small-capitalization strategies invest in common stocks of small-capitalization companies that the sub-adviser(s) believe should experience strong revenue growth and rising profits over time. Under normal circumstances, the Domestic Equity Fund's small-capitalization strategies define a small-capitalization company as a constituent of the Russell 2000 or S&P 600 Indices at the time of acquisition. The Domestic Equity Fund expects to allocate up to 30% of its assets to small-capitalization strategies. Passive Allocation. The Domestic Equity Fund expects to strategically allocate up to 80% of its assets to passively managed strategies tracking the U.S. equity market. Generally, the Adviser expects to use ETFs or mutual funds, such as those tracking the Russell 3000 Index, the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market Index or other broad U.S. equity indices, to implement these strategies. At times, the Domestic Equity Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one ETF or mutual fund. From time to time, the Adviser may also make tactical allocations to over-weight or under-weight certain segments of the U.S. equity market in an attempt to outperform it. The Adviser may use ETFs, mutual funds, securities, derivatives, or a combination in seeking to implement such a strategy. The Adviser may over-weight or under-weight certain segments of the market based on the Advisers analysis on the economy, capital markets, valuation, and trends related to the foregoing. The allocations to each of the all-capitalization, large-capitalization, mid-capitalization, and small-capitalization strategies may vary significantly from the above expected allocation percentages due to market conditions or to meet the investment objective of the Domestic Equity Fund. The Adviser has discretion to change the Domestic Equity Funds allocations to the strategies listed above and to individual sub-advisers without notice to or approval by shareholders. Each of the all-capitalization, large-capitalization, mid-capitalization, and small-capitalization strategies are constructed using either: (1) a fundamental bottom-up investment process, which includes consideration of a companys intrinsic or fair value, or (2) quantitative strategies where the sub-adviser(s) select stocks based on certain factors. These factors may include, but are not limited to, measures quantifying historical and forecasted valuations as compared to earnings, sales, and book value; quality measures such as cash on the balance sheet, earnings momentum, and debt to equity; and measures of market sentiment such as share price momentum or short interest. When determining the allocations and reallocations to a sub-adviser or to a passively managed strategy, the Adviser employs a strategic and tactical management approach, and considers a variety of factors, including but not limited to its own views on the economy and markets, the sub-advisers investment approach and outlook, relative value and risk, and the characteristics of each sub-advisers allocated assets (including capitalization, growth and profitability measures, valuation metrics, economic sector exposures, and earnings and volatility statistics). The Adviser seeks, through its selection of sub-advisers and its allocation determinations, to reduce portfolio volatility and provide an attractive combination of risk and return for the Domestic Equity Fund. The Domestic Equity Fund seeks to implement its investment strategies, in part, through investments in ETFs and other registered investment companies instead of direct investments. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in derivatives. The Domestic Equity Funds sub-advisers may engage in active trading and will not consider portfolio turnover a limiting factor in making decisions for the Fund.
