The Funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses must be
considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other
important information about the investment company. Please read it carefully
before investing. A hard copy of the prospectus can be requested by calling
1-800-966-4354.

Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not
guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an
investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Fund may
be lower or higher than the performance quoted and can be found here. Neither
forward earnings nor earnings growth is a measure of a fund’s future
performance.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Current and
future holdings are subject to risk. Small and medium-sized companies may have
more limited liquidity and greater price volatility than larger companies.
Investments in foreign securities may involve political, economic, and currency
risks, greater volatility, and differences in accounting methods. The Focus,
Total Return, Balanced, Large Cap Financial, Small Cap Financial, and Midstream
Funds are considered non-diversified funds. A non-diversified fund, which may
concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund, is
more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. A fund that
concentrates its investments within one country, one sector, or a small group of
industries, such as Japan, Technology, Financials, or Energy, may be subject to
a higher degree of market risk. Investments in debt securities typically
decrease in value when interest rates rise. The risk is greater for longer-term
debt securities. Investments in lower-rated and non-rated securities present a
greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is
the risk that the borrower will prepay some or all of the principal owed to the
issuer. Funds that invest in pooled investment vehicles (including ETFs) may
experience higher fees. The formula-based strategy employed by some Funds may
cause those Funds to buy or sell securities at times when it may not be
advantageous.

ETFs are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual
funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at
a premium or discount to its net asset value, an active secondary trading market
may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in
which they trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares. Shares
of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not
individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

ESG investing risk is the risk stemming from the Environmental, Social, and
Governance factors that the Fund applies in selecting securities. The Fund
intends to invest in companies with measurable high ESG ratings relative to
their sector peers, and screen out particular companies that do not meet its ESG
criteria. This may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain companies or industries
and cause the Fund to forego certain investment opportunities. The Fund’s
returns may be lower than other funds that do not seek to invest in companies
based on ESG ratings. The Fund seeks to pursue its investment objective by using
proprietary models that incorporate quantitative analysis. There is no guarantee
that the Portfolio Managers’ use of these models will result in effective
investment decisions for the Fund. From time to time, the Fund may concentrate
its investments in one or more industry sectors. The Fund is currently
substantially invested in the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors and
its performance is therefore tied closely to, and affected by, developments in
these industries.

Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and MLP investments have unique
characteristics. A Fund does not receive the same tax benefits as a direct
investment in an MLP.

The prices of MLP units may fluctuate abruptly and trading volume may be low,
making it difficult for a Fund to sell its units at a favorable price. MLP
general partners have the power to take actions that adversely affect the
interests of unit holders. Most MLPs do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the
partnership level, but an adverse change in tax laws could result in MLPs being
treated as corporations for federal income tax purposes, which could reduce or
eliminate distributions paid by MLPs to the Fund. If the Energy Transition
Fund’s MLP investments exceed 25% of its assets, it may not qualify for
treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue
Code (“Code”), and the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation, which
could substantially reduce its net assets and its distributions to shareholders.
The Midstream Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, and therefore, is subject to U.S. federal
income tax on its taxable income at the graduated rates applicable to
corporations (currently a maximum rate of 21%) as well as state and local income
taxes. The Midstream Fund will not benefit from current favorable federal income
tax rates on long-term capital gains, and Fund income and losses will not be
passed on to shareholders. The Midstream Fund accrues deferred income taxes for
future tax liabilities associated with the portion of MLP distributions
considered to be a tax-deferred return of capital and for any net operating
gains as well as capital appreciation of its investments. This deferred tax
liability is reflected in the daily NAV, and as a result, the Fund’s after-tax
performance could differ significantly from the underlying assets even if the
pre-tax performance is closely tracked.
