Important Risk Disclosure for the BPV Low Volatility and Wealth Preservation Funds

The Fund's use of options involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. By securities investing in options, the Fund is subject to the risk of counterparty default, as well as the potential for unlimited loss.

Fixed income investments are subject to credit risk, which is the risk that a specific issuer of a fixed income security may default on its obligations to security holders.  An economic downturn or an increase in interest rates may have a negative or adverse effect on an issuer's ability to timely make payments of principal and interest.  Increases in interest rates typically lower the present value of a company's future earnings stream. Accordingly, bond prices will generally decline when investors anticipate or experience rising interest rates.

Important Risk Disclosure for the BPV Core Diversification Fund

Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty.

Investments in ETFs and other registered investment companies subject the Fund to pay its proportionate share of those funds' fees and expenses.

Commodity-related risks include production risks caused by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, and geologic and environmental factors. Furthermore, investments related to gold and other precious metals and minerals may fluctuate sharply over short periods of time and are considered speculative and are affected by a variety of worldwide economic, financial, and political factors.

Funds that emphasize investments in smaller companies generally experience greater price volatility.

Important Risk Disclosure for the BPV Large Cap Value Fund

The share price of the Fund changes daily based on the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests, the selection of which is determined primarily by a quantitative model.

The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the ability of the quantitative model to measure accurately value indicators or other factors and appropriately react to current and developing market trends. There can be no assurance that the use of the quantitative model will enable the Fund to achieve positive returns or outperform the market, and if the quantitative model fails to accurately evaluate market risk or appropriately react to current and developing market conditions, the Fund's share price may be adversely affected.

Securities prices can be volatile, and the value of securities in the Fund's portfolio may decline due to fluctuations in the securities markets generally

The prices of equity securities will fluctuate – sometimes dramatically – over time, and the Fund could lose a substantial part, or even all, of its investment in a particular issue. Undervalued stocks include stocks that the Sub-Adviser believes are undervalued and/or are temporarily out of favor in the market. If these stocks are not undervalued, or they continue to be out of favor in the marketplace, then the Fund may suffer losses.

The Fund was formed in 2014, and while the investment strategy of the Fund is similar to the other registered investment companies sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser, investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Fund may not be successful in implementing its investment strategy.
