**Live Oak Health Sciences Fund**<br> **Ticker: LOGSX**<br>

Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's Statutory Prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund's Prospectus, reports to shareholders, and other information about the Fund online at *www.oakfunds.com/forms-information.* You can also get this information at no cost by calling 1-888-462-5386, by sending an e-mail request to *Fulfillment@ultimusfundsolutions.com,* or by asking any financial intermediary that offers shares of the Fund. The Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, both dated February 28, 2023 are incorporated by reference to this Summary Prospectus and may be obtained, free of charge, at the website, phone number or e-mail address noted above.

**Investment Goal**

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth.

**Fund Fees and Expenses**

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

**Annual Fund Operating Expenses**

(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Management Fees | 0.74% |
| Other Expenses | 0.28% |
| **Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses** | 1.02% |

---

**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, that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, and that you reinvest all dividends and distributions.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: | **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
|  | $104 | $325 | $563 | $1248 |

**Summary Prospectus \| February 28, 2023**<sub>1</sub>

**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 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 47% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategy of the Fund**

The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies engaged in the research, development, production, or distribution of products or services related to health care, medicine, or the life sciences. These "health science" companies include pharmaceutical firms, designers and manufacturers of medical equipment and supplies, operators of hospitals, other health-care services, and biotechnological researchers and developers. The Fund has adopted a policy to concentrate its investments (invest at least 25% of its assets) in companies doing business in the health science industry, but will regularly invest in health science companies well in excess of this amount. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies, but may, to a lesser extent, invest in equity REITs, common stocks of foreign companies and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") that meet the investment criteria of the Fund, as further described below.

The Adviser identifies what it believes to be the most attractive areas within health science and then narrows its search to individual stocks, paying particular attention to companies who are well-positioned to take advantage of technological advances, innovative changes and demographic trends affecting the health science industry. The Adviser's stock selection process is based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis of individual companies' fundamentals such as valuation, earnings growth potential, competitive advantages and the quality of corporate management. The Fund generally invests in large and medium capitalization companies, but can invest in companies of any size.

The Adviser invests with a long-term focus and seeks to keep the Fund's portfolio turnover to a minimum relative to its peers. The Adviser may sell a security if the reason for its original purchase changes or when it believes better opportunities are available.

The Fund has adopted a policy that it will invest at least 80% of its net assets, under normal circumstances, in equity securities of health science companies, as determined by the Adviser. This policy may be changed by the Fund upon 60 days' notice to shareholders.

**Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund**

The Fund's share price will fluctuate. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund and the Fund could also return less than other investments. The Fund is subject to the principal risks summarized below. The order of the below risk factors does not indicate the significance of any particular risk factor and the relative significance of each risk below may chance over time.

*Concentration Risk:* Because the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities issued by health science companies, the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, including governmental approval of certain products or services and changes in government policies towards parts of the health science industry, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting this industry, and the risk of product liability and/or malpractice lawsuits. The prices of health science companies may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, increased sensitivity to short product cycles and aggressive pricing, problems related to bringing products to market, and rapid technological change and obsolescence of products. Some health science companies may be regarded as developmental stage companies, without revenues or operating income, or near-term prospects for them.

*Equity Securities Risk:* The Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by these companies may decline in response to such developments, which could result in a decline in the value of the Fund's shares.

*Foreign Securities Risk:* The Fund is subject to the risk that investing in securities of foreign (non-U.S.) companies may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to less liquid markets and adverse economic, political, diplomatic, financial, and regulatory factors. Foreign governments also may impose limits on investment and repatriation and impose taxes. Any of these events could cause the value of the Fund's investments to decline. ADRs are securities that evidence ownership interests in a security or a pool of securities issued by a foreign issuer. The risks of ADRs include many risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, such as individual country risk and liquidity risk.

*Growth Investing Risk:* The Fund is subject to the risk that the Adviser's bias towards a its growth-oriented style of investing may underperform other investment styles or the equity markets as a whole. A principal risk of growth investing is that prices of growth stocks may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks.

**Summary Prospectus \| February 28, 2023**<sub>3</sub>

*Large Cap Risk:* Large cap risk is the risk that stocks of larger companies may underperform relative to those of small and mid-sized companies. Large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

*Management Risk:* Management risk is the risk that a strategy used by the Adviser may fail to produce the intended results.

*Market Risk:* Market risk is the risk that the market value of a security may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

*Mid Cap Risk:* Mid cap risk is the risk that stocks of mid-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies. Mid-sized companies may have limited product lines or financial resources, and may be dependent upon a particular niche of the market.

*REITs Risk:* REITs must satisfy specific requirements for favorable tax treatment and can involve unique risks in addition to the risks generally affecting the real estate industry. REITs are dependent upon the quality of their management, may have limited financial resources and heavy cash flow dependency, and may not be diversified geographically or by property type.

*Small Cap Risk:* Small cap companies may be more vulnerable than large cap and mid cap companies to adverse business or economic developments. Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger companies and therefore may involve greater risk.

\* After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In some cases, Fund Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than returns excluding the sale of Fund shares because the calculations assume the investor received a tax deduction for any loss incurred on the sale of shares.
