(1)  The Fund operated as a series of Scotia Institutional Funds prior to the close of business on March 21, 2014 (the "Predecessor Fund"), at which time the Predecessor Fund was reorganized into the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund's "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" have been restated to reflect expenses expected to be incurred for the Fund for the current fiscal year.

(2)  Scotia Institutional Asset Management US, Ltd. ("SIAM" or the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions and interest) exceed 0.74% for Institutional Shares, 0.84% for Class I Shares and 0.99% for Class II Shares until December 31, 2015. Prior to such date, this contractual agreement may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Directors. If it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to waive fees or make reimbursements, the Adviser may recapture any of its prior waivers or reimbursements for a period not to exceed three years from the date on which the waiver or reimbursement was made to the extent that such a recapture does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions and interest) to exceed the applicable expense limitation that was in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement.

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 $1,000,000 in Institutional Shares of the Fund, $25,000 in Class I Shares of the Fund and $10,000 in Class II Shares of the Fund (the minimum initial investment for Class II Shares is $2,000) for the time periods indicated and that you sell your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that each year your investment has a 5% return and Fund operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns might be different, your approximate costs of investing $1,000,000 in Institutional Shares of the Fund, $25,000 in Class I Shares of the Fund and $10,000 in Class II Shares of the Fund 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. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the portfolio turnover rate of the Predecessor Fund was 345.12% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy: The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of U.S. companies chosen according to a growth oriented investment approach. The Fund may invest in companies of any size, including small and mid capitalization companies, in order to achieve its objective.

When selecting investments for the Fund, the Adviser seeks to identify companies demonstrating strong current or prospective earnings growth relative to the overall market and relative to their peer group. While it will not concentrate its investments in any one industry, the Fund may from time to time have significant exposure in one or more sectors of the economy, especially the more growth-oriented sectors, such as the information technology, consumer discretionary and health care sectors.

Techniques such as fundamental analysis may be used to assess potential investments for the Fund. In conducting fundamental analysis of companies that are being considered for purchase in the Fund, the management team evaluates the financial condition and management of a company, its industry and the overall economy. As part of this evaluation, the Adviser may:

•  analyze financial data and other information sources;

•  assess the quality of management; and

•  conduct company interviews, where possible.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund: Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that equity security prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Price volatility is the principal risk of investing in the Fund. You could lose all or some of your investment in the Fund. In addition, common stocks represent a share of ownership in a company, and rank after bonds and preferred stock in their claim on the company's assets in the event of bankruptcy.

A principal risk of growth stocks is that investors expect growth companies to increase their earnings at a certain rate that is generally higher than the rate expected for non-growth companies. If a growth company does not meet these expectations, the price of its stock may decline significantly, even if it has increased earnings. Growth companies also typically do not pay dividends. Companies that pay dividends may experience less significant stock price declines during market downturns.

The small and mid capitalization companies the Fund invests in may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, these small and mid cap companies may


2



have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small and mid cap stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.

The Fund may focus its investments from time to time on one or more economic sectors, in particular the information technology sector. To the extent that it does so, developments affecting companies in that sector or sectors will likely have a magnified effect on the Fund's net asset value and total return. Information technology companies may produce or use products or services that prove commercially unsuccessful, become obsolete or become adversely impacted by government regulation. Competitive pressures in the information technology sector, and the Fund's investments in information technology company securities, may subject it to more volatile price movements than a more diversified securities portfolio.

While the Fund's portfolio turnover rate may exceed 400%, the Predecessor Fund's portfolio turnover has typically ranged between 200% and 350%.

The Fund is non-diversified and invests in a limited number of securities. Therefore, the Fund's investment performance may be more volatile, as it may be more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory event than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers.

The Fund should only be purchased by investors seeking long-term growth of capital who can withstand the share price volatility of equity investing.

Performance Information: Before the Fund commenced operations, all of the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund were transferred to the Fund in a tax-free reorganization (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization occurred on March 21, 2014. As a result of the Reorganization, the Fund assumed the performance and accounting history of the Predecessor Fund prior to the date of the Reorganization. The bar chart and performance table below provide an indication of the risk of an investment in the Fund.

The performance information set forth in the bar chart and table below is that of the Class I shares of the Predecessor Fund. Performance reflects contractual fee waivers that were in effect. If fee waivers were not in place, performance would be reduced. Performance for Institutional Shares and Class II Shares is not shown because Institutional Shares and Class II Shares of the Fund had not commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. Actual after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts ("IRA"). Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
