Long-term capital growth.

### Fees and Expenses

**Shareowner Fees**

There are no fees that shareowners pay directly from their investments, such as charges for purchases, redemptions, and exchanges of shares.

| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Management Fees (varies with performance)                                                                           | 0.34% |

**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 |
|--------|---------|---------|----------|
| $86    | $268    | $466    | $1,037   |

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund may pay transaction costs, such as commissions, 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 15% of the average value of its portfolio.

### Principal Investment Strategies

The Growth Fund seeks capital growth by investing in common stocks of U.S. companies. The Fund diversifies its investments across industries and companies, and generally follows a value investment style. The Fund looks for companies with growing revenues and earnings, favoring companies trading for less than the adviser's assessment of intrinsic value, which typically means companies with low price/earning multiples, low price to cash flow, and higher dividend yields. The Fund may invest in securities of smaller or newer companies as well as those of well-seasoned companies of any size.

### Principal Risks of Investing

The value of Growth Fund shares rises and falls as the value of the stocks in which the Fund invests goes up and down. Only consider investing in the Fund if you are willing to accept the risk that you may lose money. Fund share prices, yields, and total returns will change with fluctuations in the securities markets as well as the fortunes of the industries and companies in which the Fund invests.

The Fund may invest in smaller companies, which involve higher investment risks in that they often have limited product lines, markets and resources, or their securities may trade less frequently and have greater price fluctuation than those of larger companies. Growth stocks, which can be priced on future expectations rather than current results, may decline substantially when expectations are not met or general market conditions weaken.

### Performance

The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Growth Fund by showing changes in performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5 and 10 years compare to those of a broad-based market index. A fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not a guarantee of how a fund will perform in the future.

Performance data current to the most recent month-end and quarter-end are available on www.sextantfunds.com.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates but do not reflect the impact of any state or local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and likely differ from those shown. After-tax illustrations are not relevant to retirement plans, corporations, trusts, or other investors that are taxed at special rates. In loss periods, the average after-tax total return may be higher than average annual total return because of an assumed deduction of losses from other income.

### Financial Intermediary Compensation

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
