Strategy.

Under normal circumstances, the International Equity Fund provides exposure to investments that are economically tied to at least three different countries outside of the United States. The International Equity Fund considers various factors when determining whether a company is in a particular country or region/continent, including whether: (i) the issuer is organized under the laws of the country or a country within the geographic region; (ii) the … In seeking long-term capital appreciation, the International Equity Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities, 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. Under normal circumstances, the International Equity Fund provides exposure to investments that are economically tied to at least three different countries outside of the United States. The International Equity Fund considers various factors when determining whether a company is in a particular country or region/continent, including whether: (i) the issuer is organized under the laws of the country or a country within the geographic region; (ii) the issuer maintains its principal place of business in that country or region; (iii) the securities are traded principally in the country or region; or (iv) the issuer, during its most recent fiscal year, derived at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in the country or region, or has at least 50% of its assets in that country or region. The International Equity Fund invests primarily in equity securities and Depositary Receipts (DRs) of foreign issuers, as well as ETFs investing in U.S. and international equity markets, and may invest up to 45% of its net assets in securities of issuers located in emerging markets countries. U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. (Adviser or USBAM) defines developed markets countries and emerging markets countries based on the MSCI Market Classification Framework. The MSCI Market Classification Framework considers economic development, size, liquidity, and market accessibility in classifying developed markets countries and emerging markets countries. The International Equity Funds investments in equity securities are primarily in common stocks, but may also include preferred stocks. The International Equity Funds investments in equity securities may also include securities in their initial public offerings (IPOs) and/or DRs. At times, the International Equity 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 International Equity Fund invested a significant portion of its net assets in two ETFs. The International Equity Fund may invest in issuers with market capitalizations in all ranges, including small-, medium- and large-capitalization companies. The International Equity Fund utilizes a multi-manager approach whereby the Adviser may allocate all or a portion of the International Equity Funds assets to one or more unaffiliated 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 International Equity Funds assets to which the sub-adviser has been allocated. Each sub-adviser manages its portion of the International Equity Funds assets in a manner consistent with the International Equity Funds investment objective, strategies and restrictions. The Adviser has overall responsibility for the International Equity Funds investments, and for selecting and overseeing the International Equity Funds sub-advisers. Not all of the sub-advisers listed for the International Equity Fund may be actively managing assets for the International Equity Fund at all times. The Adviser also has discretion to manage directly all or a portion of the International Equity Fund. The principal investment strategies employed by the International Equity Fund include the following: Total International Markets. The total international markets strategies invest in companies of any capitalization size that the sub-adviser(s) believe have strong long-term fundamentals, superior capital appreciation potential and attractive valuations. The total international markets strategies may invest in issuers located in both developed and emerging markets. The International Equity Fund expects to allocate up to 70% of its assets to international all-capitalization strategies. International Developed Markets. The international developed markets strategies invest in companies of any capitalization size located in non-U.S. developed economies that the sub-adviser(s) believe have strong long-term fundamentals, superior capital appreciation potential and attractive valuations. The sub-adviser(s) may from time to time allocate a portion of the assets allocated to them to stocks in emerging markets. The International Equity Fund expects to allocate up to 50% of its assets to international developed market strategies. Emerging Markets. The emerging markets strategies invest in companies of any capitalization size located in emerging and frontier markets that the sub-adviser(s) believe have strong long-term fundamentals, superior capital appreciation potential and attractive valuations. The International Equity Fund expects to allocate up to 40% of its assets to emerging markets strategies. International Small Capitalization. The international small capitalization strategies invest in small-capitalization stocks located in both developed and emerging markets that the sub-adviser(s) believe have strong long-term fundamentals, superior capital appreciation potential and attractive valuations. Under normal circumstances, the International Equity Funds small capitalization strategies invest in companies that, at the time of initial purchase, have market capitalizations that generally are within the range of companies included in the MSCI All Country World ex U.S. SMID Cap Index. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalization range of companies included in the MSCI All Country World ex U.S. SMID Cap Index ranged from $138 million to $35.7 billion. The International Equity Fund expects to allocate tactically up to 20% of its assets to international small capitalization strategies. Passive Allocation. The International Equity Fund expects to strategically allocate up to 80% of its assets to passively managed strategies tracking the global equity markets. Generally, the Adviser expects to use ETFs or mutual funds, such as those tracking the FTSE Developed ex US Index, FTSE Emerging Index, MSCI ACWI ex USA Index or other international, emerging market and country indices, to implement these strategies. At times, the International 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 global equity markets in an attempt to outperform them. 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 those markets based on the Advisers analysis on the economy, capital markets, valuation, and trends related to the foregoing. The allocations to each of the international markets, international developed markets, emerging markets, and international small-capitalization strategies may vary significantly from the above expected allocation percentages due to market conditions or to meet the investment objective of the International Equity Fund. The Adviser has discretion to change the International Equity Funds allocations to the strategies listed above and to individual sub-advisers without notice to or approval by shareholders. Each of the international markets, international developed markets, emerging markets, and international small capitalization strategies are constructed using either: (1) a fundamental top-down and bottom-up, or fundamental bottom up only investment process, which includes consideration of a companys intrinsic or fair value, or (2) quantitative strategies where the sub-adviser(s) rank 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 of 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 International Equity Fund. The International 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 International Equity Funds sub-advisers may engage in active trading and will not consider portfolio turnover a limiting factor in making decisions for the Fund.
