Investment Objective The Frontegra IronBridge Global Focus Fund's goal, also referred to as its investment objective, is long-term capital appreciation. Principal Investment Strategy The Fund seeks to achieve its goal primarily through investment in equity securities of companies traded in developed markets throughout the world, including the The Fund may invest in companies across all market capitalizations, but the Fund will primarily invest in companies with market capitalizations in excess of US$ 2 billion at the time of investment. Additionally, the Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities of companies principally traded in emerging market countries. The Funds subadviser, IronBridge International Ltd., chooses companies that it believes have the potential to exceed economic performance levels on which market valuations are premised. In constructing a portfolio for the Fund, IronBridge International selects stocks using an economic return framework, a valuation model that uses cash flow rather than traditional accounting measures such as earnings and book value to identify attractively-priced companies. As a result of this methodology, the Fund invests in both growth and value-style stocks.
Pursuant to an expense cap agreement between IronBridge Capital Management, L.P. ("IronBridge") and the Fund, IronBridge has agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Funds operating expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the Funds total operating expenses do not exceed 1.00% of the Funds average daily net assets. The expense cap agreement will continue in effect until October 31, 2010 with successive renewal terms of one year unless terminated by IronBridge or the Fund prior to renewal. Other Expenses are presented before any waivers or expense reimbursements.
M a r k e t R i s k s . The Funds investments are subject to market risk, which may cause the value of the Funds investments to decline. If the value of the Funds investments goes down, you may lose money. The share price of the Fund is expected to fluctuate. Your shares at redemption may be worth less than your initial investment. S t o c k S e l e c t i o n R i s k s . The stocks selected for the Fund may decline in value or not increase in value when the stock market in general is rising. E q u i t y S e c u r i t i e s R i s k s . The Fund invests primarily in common stocks and other equity securities. Common stocks and other equity securities generally increase or decrease in value based on the earnings of the company and on general industry and market conditions. A fund that invests a significant amount of its assets in common stocks and other equity securities is likely to have greater fluctuation in share price than a fund that invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed income securities. Fore i g n S e c u r i t i e s R i s k s . The Fund will have a substantial investment in securities of companies principally traded in foreign countries. Foreign investments involve additional risks, including less liquidity, currency-rate fluctuations, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting standards and less strict regulation of the securities markets. L i q u i d i t y R i s k s . Liquidity risk is the risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and price that IronBridge International would like to sell. IronBridge International may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the Fund's management or performance. C u r re n c y R i s k s . Investments in foreign securities denominated and traded in foreign currencies involve additional risks. The value of the Funds foreign securities as measured in U.S. dollars maybe affected unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, the Fund may incur costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. Emerg i n g M a r k e t s R i s k s . The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities of companies principally traded in emerging markets. The risks of foreign investments typically are greater in emerging markets. Less developed countries may have smaller securities markets and lower trading volumes, which may lead to greater price volatility. These countries may have less developed legal and accounting structures and are more likely to experience high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluations, which could adversely affect their economies and securities markets. Growth and Value Investing Risks. The Fund invests in both growth and value-style stocks. Investors often expect growth companies to increase their earnings at a certain rate. Failures by such companies to meet these expectations may result in sharp declines in the prices of these stocks, even if earnings do increase. In addition, growth stocks typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns. Value stocks may never increase in price or pay dividends as anticipated by IronBridge International, or may decline even further if the market fails to recognize the company's value, if the factors that IronBridge International believes wil increase the price do not occur of if a stock judged to be undervalued is actually appropriately priced. R e g i o n o r S e c t o r R i s k s . The Fund may invest a higher percentage of its total assets in a particular region or sector of international markets. In such a case, changes affecting that region or sector may have a significant impact on the Funds overall portfolio.
