The Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses must be considered carefully before investing.  The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Frontegra Funds, and it may be obtained by downloading or calling 888-825-2100.  To download, select the Prospectus option located on the left sidebar. 

The information provided herein represents the opinion of the fund manager and is not intended to be a forecast of future events or a guaranteee of future results.   Further, there is no assurance that certain securities will remain in or out of the fund's portfolio.   

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible.

Principal Risk Factors. The main risks of investing in the Funds are:

 

M a r k e t R i s k s . The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk, so that the value of the Fund’s investments may decline. If the value of the Fund’s 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 Funds may decline in value or not increase in value when the stock market in general is rising.

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 would like to sell. IronBridge 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.

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.

M a n a g e m e n t R i s k s . The Fund is actively managed by IronBridge using the “Cash Flow Return on Investment” valuation methodology. There is no guarantee that this methodology or other investment techniques used by IronBridge will produce the desired results.

Gro w t h a n d Va l u e I n v e s t i n g R i s k s . Each Fund invests primarily 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 priceor pay dividends as anticipated by IronBridge, or may decline even further if the market fails to recognize the company’s value, if the factors that IronBridge believes will increase the price do not occur or if a stock judged to be undervalued is actually appropriately priced.

S m a l l C a p R i s k s . The Fund invests primarily in small capitalization stocks. Securities of companies with small- and medium market capitalizations are often more volatile and less liquid than investments in larger companies. The frequency and volume of trading in securities of smaller companies may be substantially less than is typical of larger companies. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to greater and more abrupt price fluctuations. In addition, smaller 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.
