Investment Objective The Frontegra SAM Global Equity Fund's goal, also referred to its investment objective, is long-term growth of capital. Principal Investment Strategy
Sustainable Leaders
include companies in SAM’s universe of sustainable investments. SAM determines
its universe of sustainable investments by analyzing economic, environmental and social
criteria. SAM believes that these characteristics of Sustainable Leaders make them
better equipped to identify and respond to the opportunities and risks presented by global
trends. In selecting portfolio
securities for the Fund, SAM first defines the eligible universe through its
sustainability research. SAM starts with macro research, continues by screening companies
for sustainability and eliminates companies that are too small or illiquid. Second,
valuations of companies are conducted using SAM’s unique models, which assess
financial criteria as well as sustainability aspects pertaining to the environment and
social criteria. Sustainability means striving to achieve economic success, while at
the same time considering ecological and social objectives. In assessing
sustainability, areas such as corporate strategy, corporate governance, transparency as
well as product and service range of a company will be taken into consideration.
Finally, SAM applies its bottom-up portfolio construction process, which utilizes
the valuations of the companies, and is based on the discrepancy between security price
and sustainable fair value and on the portfolio risk characteristics of the company’s
securities. The Fund defines non-U.S.
companies as companies: that are organized under the laws of a foreign country;
whose principal trading market is in a foreign country; or that have a majority of their
assets, or that derive a significant portion of their revenue or profits from businesses,
investments or sales, outside of the United States. Under normal market
conditions, the Fund invests at least 40% of its net assets in non-U.S. companies.
If SAM deems market conditions unfavorable, the Fund would still invest at least 30%
of its net assets in non-U.S. companies. The Fund generally will be invested in
issuers located in countries with developed securities markets, but may also invest in
issuers located in emerging markets. Under normal market conditions, the Fund
expects that its investment in emerging markets will not exceed 30%. The Fund will
allocate its assets among various regions and countries, including the United States (but
in no less than three different countries). The Fund may invest in
companies of any market capitalization and currently expects that a significant amount of
the Fund’s assets will be invested in micro-, small- and medium-capitalization
companies. Micro- and small-capitalization companies generally will have market
capitalizations under $2 billion. Medium-capitalization companies generally will
have market capitalizations between $2 billion and $10 billion. Large-capitalization
companies generally will have capitalizations of over $10 billion. The Fund may
invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity and equity-related securities issued by
non-Sustainable Leaders.
Pursuant to an expense cap agreement between the Fund’s adviser, Frontegra Asset Management, Inc. ("Frontegra") and the Fund, Frontegra agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses) do not exceed 1.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The expense cap agreement for the Fund will continue in effect until October 31, 2013 with successive renewal terms of one year unless terminated by Frontegra or the Fund prior to any such renewal. “Other Expenses” are presented before any waivers or expense reimbursements. Past performance does not
guarantee future results. The principal value of an investment and investment return
will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than
their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance
quoted and may be obtained by calling 888-825-2100. Investment performance reflects
contractual fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waiver, total returns
would be reduced. Market Risks. The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk, which may
cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline.
If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, the share price of
the Fund will go down, and you may lose money. U.S.
and international markets have experienced extreme volatility, reduced liquidity, credit
downgrades, increased likelihood of default and valuation difficulties in recent years. Foreign Securities Risks. The Fund’s foreign investments involve additional risks, including less liquidity, currency-rate fluctuations, political and economic instability and differences in financial reporting standards and securities market regulation. Non-Diversification Risks. The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest more of its assets in a smaller number of companies than funds that are diversified. Gains or losses on a single stock may have greater impact on the Fund than for other funds that invest in a greater number of companies. Sustainability Investment Criteria Risks. The Fund's sustainability investment criteria may limit the number of investment opportunities available to the Fund. The Fund's returns may be less than those funds that are not subject to such investment considerations. Companies that promote sustainability goals may not perform as well as companies that do not pursue such goals. Emerging Markets Risks. The risks of foreign investments typically are greater in emerging markets due to factors such as smaller securities markets and lower trading volumes, less developed legal and accounting structures, substantial influence by an emerging market country's government over the private sector and potential high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluations. Currency Risks. The value of the Fund's foreign securities as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may also incur costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. Small- and Medium-Capitalization Company Risks. Small-capitalization and medium-capitalization companies are often more volatile and less liquid than larger companies. Securities of these companies may be subject to greater and more abrupt price fluctuations and be more susceptible to market pressures and business failures. The Fund may invest in small-capitalization companies whose securities may be traded only in the over-the-counter market or on a regional exchange, and may not trade with the frequency or volume typical of trading on a national exchange. Micro-Capitalization Company Risks. Micro-capitalization companies are generally even more volatile and less liquid relative to small-capitalization, medium-capitalization and large capitalization securities. Management Risks. The Fund is subject to management risk as an actively-managed
investment portfolio and depends on the decisions of the portfolio managers to produce the
desired results.
