Investment Objective The Frontegra Netols Small Cap Value Fund's goal, also referred to as its investment objective, is capital appreciation. Principal Investment Strategy The Fund seeks to achieve its goal primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations. For this purpose, a small market capitalization company is defined as any company with a market capitalization of between $100 million and $2.5 billion at the time of the Fund's investment. In constructing a portfolio for the Fund, the Fund's subadviser, Netols Asset Management ("Netols"), selects stocks it believes are undervalued and exhibit potential "change factor" characteristics. These characteristics include, but are not limited to, organizational, operational, financial and regulatory factors. Netols believes that, once change factors are realized, they typically lead to an increase in cash flow, earnings, EBITDA or valuations in the marketplace which tend to deliver better performance than the overall small cap market. The Fund invests primarily in value-style stocks whose prices
Netols believes are undervalued in relation to fundamental measures. Equity
securities in which the Fund may invest include common stocks; preferred stocks; warrants
to purchase common stocks or preferred stocks; and securities convertible into common or
preferred stocks. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80%
of its assets in these securities.
Pursuant to an expense cap agreement between the Funds adviser, Frontegra Asset Management, Inc. (Frontegra) and the Fund, Frontegra 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 (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses) do not exceed 1.50% of the Fund's average daily net assests for Class Y shares and 1.10 of the Funds average daily net assets for Institutional Class shares. The expense cap agreement for the Fund will continue in effect until October 31, 2009 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. M a r k e t R i s k s . The Funds investments are subject to market risk, so that the value of the Funds investments may 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. S m a l l C a p i t a l i z a t i o n R i s k s . The Fund will invest primarily in securities of companies with small market capitalizations, which are often more volatile and less liquid than investments in larger companies. The frequency and volume of trading in securities of small capitalization companies may be substantially less than is typical of larger companies. Therefore, the securities of small capitalization companies may be subject to greater and more abrupt price fluctuations than larger companies. In addition, small capitalization companies may lack the management experience, financial resources and product diversification of larger companies, making them more susceptible to market pressures. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks. E q u i t y S e c u r i t y R i s k s . The Fund will invest 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 a 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 fluctuations in share price than a fund that invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed income securities. Va l u e I n v e s t i n g R i s k s . The Fund invests in primarily value-style stocks, stocks whose prices Netols believes are undervalued in relation to fundamental measures. Value stocks may never increase in price or pay dividends as anticipated by Netols, or may decline even further if the market fails to recognize the companys value, if the factors that Netols believes will increase the price do not occur or if a stock judged to be undervalued is actually appropriately priced. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk as an actively-managed investment portfolio. Netols and each individual portfolio manager will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these will produce the desired results. If Netols is not able to select better-performing securities, the Fund may lose money.
