(1)

The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund’s financial statements (or to the financial highlights in this Prospectus) because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund, not the indirect costs of investing in acquired funds.

(2)

The Fund's advisor has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and pay or reimburse all expenses of the Fund (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs such as (a) interest and (b) dividends on securities sold short, taxes, indirect expenses incurred by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) at least until February 28, 2014.  Class NF fee waivers and reimbursements are not subject to recoupment from the Fund.  This agreement may be terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees, on 60 days written notice to the advisor.


Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.  


The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.  The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:


 

1 year

3 years

5 years

10 years

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.  During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 59% of the average value of the portfolio.







Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund's advisor ("Wellesley") seeks to maximize the Fund’s total return by investing in convertible securities. Total return has two components, income and capital appreciation.  Convertible securities often provide interest income, as well as capital appreciation if the value of converting to the underlying equity increases over time. The advisor also seeks to minimize volatility and preserve capital using various strategies, such as investing in convertible securities that have “put” provisions, relatively short maturities, and/or a guarantee of principal by the issuer. Generally, the convertible securities in the portfolio will have remaining maturities or put provisions of less than seven years.


Under normal conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in convertible securities of U.S. and foreign companies, and may invest without limitation in foreign companies. The Fund defines convertible securities as:


·

convertible bonds

·

convertible preferred stocks, and

·

synthetic convertible securities.  


Convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks are generally obligations of a company that can be converted into a predetermined number of shares of common stock of the company issuing the security. Convertible securities generally offer both defensive characteristics ( i.e ., provide income during periods when the market price of the underlying common stock declines) and upside potential ( i.e. , may provide capital appreciation when the market price of the underlying common stock rises). The Fund invests without restriction as to credit quality. Synthetic convertible securities are financial instruments created by combining two or more separate securities that, in total, have returns that are similar to a convertible bond or convertible preferred stock. Synthetic convertible securities are usually created by investment banks and brokerage firms. These may include structured equity linked products (“SELPs”) and index-linked and equity-linked convertible structured notes. There is no limit on the portion of the Fund's portfolio that will be allocated among convertible bonds, convertible preferreds and synthetic convertibles. The Fund may invest in securities that have been privately placed but are eligible for purchase and sale by certain qualified institutional buyers such as the Fund under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.


Although the Fund’s portfolio will generally invest in several different industries and issuers, the Fund is a “non-diversified” fund, meaning that it can invest a significant percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer. The Fund may also concentrate its holdings in a particular market sector.

Wellesley will purchase a convertible security when it believes there is a high probability that the principal amount of the fixed-income component of the investment will be repaid upon put or maturity and the conversion component offers potential upside. Wellesley attempts to identify convertible securities that are trading at attractive valuations relative to Wellesley’s evaluation of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Wellesley’s investment process includes the use of both quantitative and fundamental research on each underlying company to analyze credit quality and the specific terms of each offering. In general, Wellesley sells securities when an issuer's credit quality deteriorates, the conversion feature of a security is no longer a likely source of capital appreciation, to increase diversification or when Wellesley believes more attractive investments are available.

Principal Investment Risks

As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund.  Many factors affect the Fund's net asset value and performance.


·

Allocation Risk: Since the Fund may invest a significant amount of its assets in a particular security, industry, market or sector, the value of its shares may be more susceptible to adverse changes within that market or sector than a fund that does not focus its investments.  


·

Convertible Securities Risk: Convertible securities are hybrid securities that have characteristics of both bonds and common stocks and are subject to risks associated with both debt securities and equity securities.  


Fixed-Income Risk. The market value of fixed-income securities tends to decline as interest rates increase. Fixed-income securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that an issuer of a security may not be able to make principal and interest payments as due. Fixed-income securities may also be subject to prepayment or redemption risk, which may result in lower reinvestment rates.


High Yield  Risk . The Fund may invest in convertible securities rated less than investment grade that are sometimes referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds. These securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks and are more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher quality fixed-income securities. Lower credit quality high yield securities are especially sensitive to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions and may have significant default rates.


 

Common Stock Risk . Convertible securities may have characteristics similar to common stocks especially when their conversion value is the same as the value of the bond. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes. Stock prices in general may decline over short or even extended periods of time.




2




Synthetic Convertible Security Risk.   The value of a synthetic convertible security may respond differently to market fluctuations than a convertible security because a synthetic convertible is composed of two or more separate securities, each with its own market value.


·

Foreign Risk:  Changes in foreign economies and political climates are more likely to affect the Fund than a mutual fund that invests exclusively in U.S. companies. The value of foreign securities is also affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. There may also be less government supervision of foreign markets, resulting in non-uniform accounting practices and less publicly available information.  The values of foreign investments may be affected by changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws (including withholding tax), changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy (in this country or abroad) or changed circumstances in dealings between nations.


·

Leverage Risk: The use of put options and other strategies may involve leverage.  Leverage can magnify the effects of changes in the value of the Fund and make the Fund's share price more volatile.  


·

Management Style Risk: The Fund's advisor's objective judgments about the attractiveness and potential appreciation of particular investments in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that its investment strategy will produce the desired results.


·

Non-Diversification Risk: The Fund is non-diversified, which means that more of the Fund’s assets may be invested in the securities of a single issuer than a diversified fund. This may make the value of the Fund’s shares more susceptible to certain risks than shares of a diversified investment company.

Performance

The bar chart and performance table below show the variability of the Fund’s returns, which is some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.
