TIMOTHY F. DEMERS, STEVENS & LEE, 111 N. 6TH STREET, P.O. BOX 679, READING, PA 19603-0679
It is proposed that this filing will become effective (check appropriate box)
this post-effective amendment designates a new effective date for a previously filed post-effective amendment.
The sales charge, expressed as a percentage of the offering price or the net amount invested, may be higher or lower than the percentages in the above table due to rounding. This is because the dollar amount of the sales charge is determined by subtracting the net asset value of the shares purchased from the offering price, which is calculated to two decimal places using standard rounding criteria. The impact of rounding will vary with the size of the investment and the net asset value of the shares.
For purchases above $1,000,000 or otherwise not subject to a sales charge, the Advisor of the Fund may pay to dealers a commission of up to 1%. The Fund may reimburse the Advisor for these payments through its plans of distribution. See Plans of Distribution below.
Sales Charge Reduction and Waivers
Certain investors are entitled to a reduction or a waiver of sales charges. In order to be sure that you are charged the least amount of any sales charge, you must tell your broker or other intermediary that you qualify for a reduction or waiver, or that you believe you may be eligible, so that the appropriate sales charge may be applied to your investment.
Investors who are employees or agents of the Fund, the Adviser, any related entity, or any service provider to the Fund, are exempt from all initial sales charges, regardless of the amount of investment. Investors who are not employees or agents are entitled to aggregate their purchases among immediate family members to reduce the sales charge that would otherwise be applicable. Spouses and children under age 22, or children over 21 but still sharing the same household, are considered immediate family for this purpose. All investments by all members of an immediate family may be combined to satisfy the higher investment thresholds set forth in the table above to qualify for a lower sales charge. In addition, investments made by certain trust accounts, family controlled businesses, and single participant retirement plans or IRAs may also be aggregated to qualify for lower sales charges. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund is one of only three series funds in The DMS Funds family. The DMS Funds intends, however, to offer additional series in the future. All investments in any fund that is part of The DMS Funds family are eligible to be aggregated for purposes of reducing the sales charge applicable to the Class A Shares.
Aggregation of investments can be confusing. In addition, the Fund may offer waivers or reductions to specific types of purchasers, investors who are members or affiliates of specific charitable or other organizations, or other categories of investors from time to time. You are encouraged to contact the Fund, or its administrator at 866-282-6743, to inquire whether a reduction or waiver may apply to you. The Funds website at DMSFunds.com will also contain updated information about sales charge waivers that may be applicable to certain investors.
Investors who invest through an account managed by a U.S. registered investment adviser are entitled to purchase Class I Shares, which do not have any sales charges. In connection with such investment advisory accounts, the Fund may require the customers advisory firm to adhere to certain administrative rules, such as minimum purchase requirements in excess of retail customers, and may require such advisory firms to sign administration agreements with the Fund to enable their customers to purchase Class I Shares without a sales charge. The minimum investment for Class I Shares is $100,000. Other restrictions and requirements for Class I Shares may be adopted by the Fund at any time, and the Fund may expand the types of customers who may qualify to purchase Class I Shares.
Plans of Distribution
The Fund has established a plan of distribution, or 12b-1 plan, for the Class A Shares. The plan may be used to finance activities primarily intended to sell shares, provided that the categories of expenses are approved in advance by the Board of Trustees. The plan provides for payments, based on an annualized rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Class A Shares. This entire amount may be used to pay service fees to qualified dealers for providing certain shareholder services. Any amounts not paid to dealers may be used for distribution expenses as authorized by the Board of Trustees, in accordance with guidance issued by the SEC from time to time. The estimated 12b-1 fees expected to be paid are indicated in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table under Risk/Return Summary at the beginning of this Prospectus. Since these fees are paid out of the Funds assets or income on an ongoing basis, over time they may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges or service fees and reduce the return on your investment. There is no 12b-1 plan for the Class I Shares.
Purchasing Shares
The Fund reserves the right, without notice, to increase or decrease the minimum amount required to open, convert shares to, or maintain a fund account, or to add to an existing fund account.
Investment minimums may differ for certain categories of investors.
Account Minimums
Class A:
To open an account: $1,500. To maintain an account: $1,000.
Class I:
To open and maintain an account: $100,000.
Add to an existing account:
$100 (other than by Automatic Investment Plan, which has no established minimum).

Trade Date
The trade date for any purchase request received in good order will depend on the day and time the DMS Funds receives your request, the manner in which you are paying, and the type of fund you are purchasing. Your purchase will be executed using the NAV as calculated on the trade date. NAVs are calculated only on days that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading (a business day).
For purchases by check, and for purchases by exchange or wire: If the purchase request is received by the DMS Funds on a business day before the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time), the trade date will be the same day. If the purchase request is received on a business day after the close of regular trading on the NYSE, or on a nonbusiness day, the trade date will be the next business day.
For purchases by electronic bank transfer using an Automatic Investment Plan: Your trade date generally will be one business day before the date you designated for withdrawal from your bank account.
For purchases by electronic bank transfer not using an Automatic Investment Plan: If the purchase request is received by the Fund on a business day before 4 p.m., Eastern time, the trade date generally will be that business day. If the purchase request is received on a business day after 4 p.m., Eastern time, or on a nonbusiness day, the trade date will be the next business day following the day the Fund receives the request.
If your purchase request is not accurate and complete, it may be rejected. See Other Rules You Should Know Good Order.
For further information about purchase transactions, consult our website at DMSFunds.com.
Check purchases
. All purchase checks must be written in U.S. Dollars and must be drawn on a U.S. bank. The Fund does not accept cash, travelers checks, or money orders. In addition, the Fund may refuse starter checks and checks that are not made payable to DMS Funds.
New accounts.
We are required by law to obtain from you certain personal information that we will use to verify your identity. If you do not provide the information, we may not be able to open your account. If we are unable to verify your identity, we reserve the right, without notice, to close your account or take such other steps as we deem reasonable.
Refused or rejected purchase requests
. The Fund reserves the right to stop selling fund shares or to reject any purchase request at any time and without notice. This also includes the right to reject any purchase request because of a history of frequent trading by the investor or because the purchase may negatively affect a funds operation or performance.
Large purchases
. Please call the Fund before attempting to invest a large dollar amount.
No cancellations.
The Fund will not accept your request to cancel any purchase request once processing has begun. Please be careful when placing a purchase request. After a purchase is processed, a redemption of some or all of the amount of that purchase within thirty days will be subject to an early redemption fee of 2%.
Converting Shares
At the time of this Prospectus, the Fund only has two classes of shares, Class A and I. It is possible that the Fund will have multiple classes of shares in the future. Subject to eligibility requirements, shareholders may convert from one class to another. When a conversion occurs, you receive shares of one class in place of shares of another class of the same fund. At the time of conversion, the dollar value of the new shares you receive equals the dollar value of the old shares that were converted. In other words, the conversion has no effect on the value of your investment in the fund at the time of the conversion. However, the number of shares you own after the conversion may be greater than or less than the number of shares you owned before the conversion, depending on the net asset values of the two share classes.
A conversion between share classes of the same fund is a nontaxable event.
Trade Date
The trade date for any conversion request received in good order will depend on the day and time the Fund receives your request. Your conversion will be executed using the NAVs of the different share classes on the trade date. NAVs are calculated only on days that the NYSE is open for trading (a business day).
For a conversion request received by the Fund on a business day before the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time), the trade date will be the same day. For a conversion request received on a business day after the close of regular trading on the NYSE, or on a nonbusiness day, the trade date will be the next business day. See Other Rules You Should Know.
Redeeming Shares
How to Initiate a Redemption Request

By telephone
. You may call the Fund to request a redemption of shares.
By mail
. You may send a written request to the Funds service provider, Mutual Shareholder Services, to redeem from a fund account.
How to Receive Redemption Proceeds
By electronic bank transfer
. You may have the proceeds of a fund redemption sent directly to a designated bank account. To establish the electronic bank transfer option on an account, you must designate a bank account online, complete a special form, or fill out the appropriate section of your account registration form. After the option is set up on your account, you can redeem shares by electronic bank transfer on a regular schedule (Automatic Withdrawal Plan) or from time to time. Your redemption request can be initiated online, by telephone, or by mail.
By wire.
Wire redemptions generally are not available for the DMS Funds. To establish the wire redemption option, you generally must designate a bank account online, complete a special form, or fill out the appropriate section of your account registration form. Wire redemptions are subject to rules that may be adopted by the Fund from time to time, and will include some delay in payment to allow the Fund shares to be liquidated and converted to cash in order to fund the wire order. The Fund will also charge a fee for any wire transfer of redemption proceeds, in addition to any fee that may be imposed your bank when receiving the wire.
By exchange.
You may have the proceeds of a DMS Fund redemption invested directly in shares of another DMS Fund. You may initiate an exchange online (if you are a registered user of DMSFunds.com), by telephone, or by mail.
By check.
If you have not chosen another redemption method, the Fund will mail you a redemption check, generally payable to all registered account owners, normally within two business days of your trade date.
Trade Date
The trade date for any redemption request received in good order will depend on the day and time the Fund receives your request and the manner in which you are redeeming. Your redemption will be executed using the NAV as calculated on the trade date. NAVs are calculated only on days that the NYSE is open for trading (a business day).
For redemptions by check:
If the redemption request is received by the Fund on a business day before the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time), the trade date will be the same day. If the redemption request is received on a business day after the close of regular trading on the NYSE, or on a nonbusiness day, the trade date will be the next business day.
For redemptions by electronic bank transfer using an Automatic Withdrawal Plan:
Your trade date generally will be the date you designated for withdrawal of funds (redemption of shares) from your DMS Fund account. Proceeds of redeemed shares generally will be credited to your designated bank account two business days after your trade date. If the date you designated for withdrawal of funds from your DMS Fund account falls on a weekend, holiday, or other nonbusiness day, your trade date generally will be the previous business day.
For redemptions by electronic bank transfer not using an Automatic Withdrawal Plan:
If the redemption request is received by the Fund on a business day before the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time), the trade date will be the same day. If the redemption request is received on a business day after the close of regular trading on the NYSE, or on a nonbusiness day, the trade date will be the next business day.
If your redemption request is not accurate and complete, it may be rejected. If we are unable to send your redemption proceeds by wire or electronic bank transfer because the receiving institution rejects the transfer, the Fund will make additional efforts to complete your transaction. If the Fund is still unable to complete the transaction, we may send the proceeds of the redemption to you by check, generally payable to all registered account owners. See Other Rules You Should Know Good Order.
For further information about redemption transactions, consult our website at DMSFunds.com, or contact the Advisor.
Redemption Fee
The Fund charges a 2.0% fee on shares redeemed before they have been held for thirty days. The fee applies if you redeem shares by selling or by exchanging to another DMS fund, or if DMS liquidates your Fund account because the balance falls below $1,000 (except if the decline is due to market or currency fluctuation). The fee is withheld from redemption proceeds and is paid directly to the Fund. Shares held for thirty-one days or more are not subject to the 2% fee.
In an effort to reduce or eliminate the redemption fees you pay, if you redeem less than your full investment in the Fund, we will first redeem those shares not subject to the fee (see below), followed by those shares you have held the longest.
Redemption fees will not apply to DMS Fund account redemptions in the following circumstances: (1) redemptions of shares purchased with reinvested dividend and capital gains distributions; redemptions of shares to pay Fund or account fees; redemptions of shares to revoke an IRA within the period of time set forth in the IRA Disclosure Document or to remove excess shareholder contributions to an IRA; and redemptions from Section 529 college savings plans; (2) share transfers, rollovers, or re-registrations within the same fund; (3) conversions of shares from one share class to another in the same fund; and (4) redemptions in kind.
In addition, redemption fees will not apply to (1) distributions by shareholders age 70-1/2 or older from traditional IRAs, rollover IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, certain Individual Section 403(b)(7) Custodial Accounts; and (2) distributions by beneficiaries from inherited IRAs, and certain Individual Section 403(b)(7) Custodial Accounts.
Also, participants in employer-sponsored defined contribution plans will not incur redemption fees for the following: exchanges of shares purchased with participant payroll or employer contributions; distributions, loans, and in-service withdrawals from a plan; redemptions or transfers of shares as part of a plan termination or at the direction of the plan; and direct rollovers into IRAs.
Participants will incur redemption fees if, after making an exchange, transfer, or rollover into a fund with a redemption fee, the participant makes a subsequent exchange out of that fund within the redemption-fee period.
Other Redemption Rules You Should Know
Documentation for certain accounts.
Special documentation may be required to redeem from certain types of accounts, such as trust, corporate, nonprofit, or retirement accounts. Please call us before attempting to redeem from these types of accounts.
Potentially disruptive redemptions.
The Fund reserves the right to pay all or part of a redemption in kind that is, in the form of securities if we reasonably believe that a cash redemption would negatively affect the Funds operation or performance or that the shareholder may be engaged in market-timing or frequent trading. Under these circumstances, the Fund also reserves the right to delay payment of the redemption proceeds for up to seven calendar days. By calling us before you attempt to redeem a large dollar amount, you may avoid in-kind or delayed payment of your redemption. Please see Frequent-Trading Policy for information about our policies to limit frequent trading.
Recently purchased shares.
Although you can redeem shares at any time, proceeds may not be made available to you until the Fund collects payment for your purchase. This may take up to ten calendar days for shares purchased by check or by electronic bank transfer.
Address change.
If you change your address online or by telephone, there may be up to a 15-day restriction on your ability to request check redemptions online and by telephone. You can request a redemption in writing at any time. Confirmations of address changes are sent to both the old and new addresses.
Payment to a different person or address.
At your request, we can make your redemption check payable to a different person or send it to a different address. However, this generally requires the written consent of all registered account owners and may require a signature guarantee or a notarized signature. You may obtain a signature guarantee from some commercial or savings banks, credit unions, trust companies, or member firms of a U.S. stock exchange.
No cancellations.
The Fund will not accept your request to cancel any redemption request once processing has begun. Please be careful when placing a redemption request.
Emergency circumstances.
The DMS Funds can postpone payment of redemption proceeds for up to seven calendar days. In addition, the DMS Funds can suspend redemptions and/or postpone payments of redemption proceeds beyond seven calendar days at times when the NYSE is closed or during emergency circumstances, as determined by the SEC.
Exchanging Shares
An exchange occurs when you use the proceeds from the redemption of shares of one DMS Fund to simultaneously purchase shares of a different DMS fund. You can make exchange requests online (if you are a registered user of DMSFunds.com), by telephone, or by mail.
If the NYSE is open for regular trading (generally until 4 p.m., Eastern time, on a business day) at the time an exchange request is received in good order, the trade date generally will be the same day.
Please note that the Fund reserves the right, without notice, to revise or terminate the exchange privilege, limit the amount of any exchange, or reject an exchange, at any time, for any reason.
Exceptions to Frequent-Trading Policy
As indicated above under the section DMS BALTIC INDEX FUND INFORMATION AND RISKS Policies to Address Frequent Trading on page __, the board of trustees of each DMS Fund places certain limits on frequent trading in the funds. Each DMS Fund charges a 2% redemption fee in an attempt to limit an investors purchases or exchanges into a fund account within thirty calendar days after the investor has redeemed or exchanged out of that fund account. The fee is not applied to transactions more than thirty days apart.

·
Purchases of shares with reinvested dividend or capital gains distributions.
·
Transactions through DMSs Automatic Investment Plan, Automatic Exchange Service, Direct Deposit Service, Automatic Withdrawal Plan, and Required Minimum Distribution Service.
·
Redemptions of shares to pay Fund or account fees.
·
Transfers and re-registrations of shares within the same fund.

Purchases of shares by asset transfer or direct rollover.
·
Conversions of shares from one share class to another in the same fund.

Accounts Held by Institutions (Other Than Defined Contribution Plans)
The Fund will systematically monitor for frequent trading in institutional clients accounts. If we detect suspicious trading activity, we will investigate and take appropriate action, which may include applying to a clients accounts the thirty-day policy previously described on pages 12-13 and above, prohibiting a clients purchases of fund shares, and/or revoking the clients exchange privilege.
Accounts Held by Intermediaries
When intermediaries establish accounts in the DMS Funds for the benefit of their clients, we cannot always monitor the trading activity of the individual clients. However, we review trading activity at the intermediary (omnibus) level, and if we detect suspicious activity, we will investigate and take appropriate action. If necessary, DMS may prohibit additional purchases of fund shares by an intermediary, including for the benefit of certain of the intermediarys clients. Intermediaries also may monitor their clients trading activities with respect to the DMS Funds.
For those DMS Funds that charge purchase or redemption fees, intermediaries will be asked to assess purchase and redemption fees on client accounts and remit these fees to the Funds. The application of purchase and redemption fees and frequent-trading policies may vary among intermediaries. There are no assurances that DMS will successfully identify all intermediaries or that intermediaries will properly assess purchase and redemption fees or administer frequent-trading policies. If you invest with the DMS Funds through an intermediary, please read that firms materials carefully to learn of any other rules or fees that may apply.

Fund and Account Updates
Confirmation Statements
We will send (or provide online, whichever you prefer) a confirmation of your trade date and the amount of your transaction when you buy, sell, exchange, or convert shares. However, we will not send confirmations reflecting the reinvestment of dividend or capital gains distributions. Promptly review each confirmation statement that we provide to you by mail or online. It is important that you contact the Fund immediately with any questions you may have about any transaction reflected on a confirmation statement, or the Fund will consider the transaction properly processed.
Portfolio Summaries
We will send (or provide online, whichever you prefer) quarterly portfolio summaries to help you keep track of your accounts throughout the year. Each summary shows the market value of your account at the close of the statement period, as well as all distributions, purchases, redemptions, exchanges, transfers, and conversions for the current calendar quarter. Promptly review each summary that we provide to you by mail or online. It is important that you contact the Fund immediately with any questions you may have about any transaction reflected on the summary, or the Fund will consider the transaction properly processed.
Tax Information Statements
For most accounts, we are required to provide annual tax Forms to assist you in preparing your income tax returns. These Forms, which are generally mailed in January, will report the previous years dividends, capital gains distributions, proceeds from the sale of shares from taxable accounts, and distributions from IRAs and other retirement plans. Registered users of DMSFunds.com can also view these Forms online.
Average-Cost Review Statements
For most taxable accounts, an average-cost review statement will accompany the annual Form 1099-B. This statement shows the average cost of shares that you redeemed during the previous calendar year, using the average-cost single-category method, one of the methods established by the IRS and the only method used by the DMS Funds. You may want to consult a tax professional to determine if a different method is best for you.
Annual and Semiannual Reports
The Funds fiscal year ends September 30. We will send (or provide online, whichever you prefer) reports about the Fund twice a year, in May and November. These reports include overviews of the financial markets and provide the following specific Fund information:
·
Performance assessments and comparisons with industry benchmarks.
·
Financial statements with listings of Fund holdings.
Portfolio Holdings
We generally post on our website at DMSFunds.com, in the Portfolio section of each Funds Portfolio & Management page, a detailed list of the securities held by the Fund, as of the end of the most recent calendar quarter. This list is generally updated within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The DMS Funds may exclude any portion of these portfolio holdings from publication when deemed in the best interest of the Fund.
