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 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 actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
|--------|---------|---------|----------|
| $68    | $214    | $373    | $835     |

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund may pay transaction costs, such as commissions and a bid-ask-spread, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate 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 7.04% of the average value of its portfolio.

### Principal Investment Strategies

Idaho Tax-Exempt Fund invests in debt securities issued by the State of Idaho and its political subdivisions. These municipal bonds, notes, and commercial paper may be in various forms, including general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, mortgage bonds, certificates of participation, local improvement district bonds, and refunding bonds.

The Fund buys investment grade bonds, meaning those rated "Baa" or higher by a national bond rating agency, Moody's Investor's Services), or, if unrated, of equivalent quality in the opinion of the adviser, considered at the time of purchase. At least 40% of bonds that the Fund buys must be rated "A" or higher or, if unrated, of equivalent quality, on a similar basis. Factors used in bond evaluations include such information as the bond district's financial position, population size, employment trends, economic activity, and diversification. The portfolio's dollar-weighted average effective maturity is expected to range between 6 and 15 years. In accordance with the fundamental investment policies of the Fund, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of assets are invested in debt securities generating income exempt from both federal and Idaho income tax.

### Principal Risks of Investing

**Market risk:** The value of the Fund's shares rises and falls as the market value of the securities in which the Fund invests goes up and down. The market value of securities will fluctuate, sometimes significantly and unpredictably, with stocks generally being more volatile than bonds. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. Only consider investing in the Fund if you are willing to accept the risk that you may lose money.

**Investment strategy risk:** Because the Fund concentrates its investments primarily in Idaho municipal securities, its investments are susceptible to factors adversely affecting Idaho. These factors include economic and financial trends as well as political conditions in Idaho and its political subdivisions. Investing primarily in Idaho bonds means the Fund is less diversified than some other types of mutual funds. Concentrating investments in a single state or a small number of security issues may lead to underperformance compared to investments selected in greater number and/or from a wider universe.

**Tax risk:** The Fund is vulnerable to tax rate changes, either at the Idaho or federal level, since part of municipal securities' value is derived from the recipient's ability to exclude interest payments from taxation. Should this exclusion be reduced, the market for municipal securities, and consequently the Fund's share value, may be adversely affected.

**Interest rate risk:** Investing in bonds includes the risk that as interest rates rise, bond prices will fall. Conversely, during periods of declining interest rates bond prices generally rise, but bond issuers may call or prepay the bond and reissue debt at lower interest rates. The longer a bond's maturity, the more sensitive the bond is to interest rate changes.

**Credit risk:** Investing in bonds includes the risk that an issuer will not pay interest or principal when due, or the issuer may default altogether. If an issuer's credit quality is perceived to decline, the value and liquidity of the issuer's bonds may also decline.

**Liquidity risk:** Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to sell and may be more difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell these investments during unfavorable conditions to meet redemptions or for other cash needs, the Fund may lose money on its investments. As a result, the Fund may be unable to achieve its objective.
