&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Fund's adviser, Orion Portfolio Solutions, LLC d.b.a. Brinker Capital Investments ("the Adviser"), has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee as necessary to keep the Fund's management fee from exceeding 0.444% more than the total amount of sub-advisory fees paid by the Adviser. This fee waiver and reimbursement agreement shall remain in effect until June 30, 2026 and may be amended or terminated only with the consent of the Board of Trustees.

#### Examples
These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume 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 time periods. The examples also assume 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 on these assumptions your costs would be:

#### Destinations Core Fixed Income Fund (continued) Class / Ticker: I / DCFFX, Z / DCFZX

#### 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 transactions 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 above examples, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 168% of the average value of its portfolio.

#### Principal investment strategies
The Fund will invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in fixed income instruments. The Fund's 80% policy is not fundamental and can be changed upon 60 days' prior written notice to shareholders.

The Fund employs a "multi-manager" strategy whereby the Adviser allocates the Fund's assets among professional money managers (each, a "Sub-adviser," collectively, the "Sub-advisers"), each of which is responsible for investing its allocated portion of the Fund's assets. The Adviser may also invest a portion of the Fund's assets in unaffiliated funds that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and that have investment objectives and principal investment strategies consistent with those of the Fund, including open-end funds, closed-end funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs), which may be passively managed (i.e., index-tracking) or actively managed. ETFs may also be used to transition the Fund's portfolio or to equitize cash while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities directly. When determining how to allocate the Fund's assets between unaffiliated funds and Sub-advisers, and among Sub-advisers, the Adviser considers a variety of factors.

The Fund invests primarily in bonds, debt, and other fixed income instruments issued by governmental or private-sector entities, including mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, investment grade corporate bonds, junk bonds, bank loans, loan participations, assignments, derivatives, credit default swaps, inverse floater securities, interest-only and principal-only securities and money market instruments.

A Sub-adviser will select securities based on its assessment of one or more of a variety of factors. Under normal market conditions, the Fund's total investment portfolio will have a weighted average effective duration of no less than one year and no more than ten years.

The Fund will invest a substantial portion of its nets assets in mortgage-backed securities of any maturity or type guaranteed by, or secured by collateral that is guaranteed by, the United States Government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored corporations, or in privately issued mortgage-backed securities rated at the time of investment Aa3 or higher by Moody's or AA- or higher by S&P or the equivalent by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization or in unrated securities that are determined by a Sub-adviser to be of comparable quality.

The Fund will also invest in junk bonds, bank loans and assignments, privately issued residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, and other instruments rated below investment grade or unrated but determined by the Sub-adviser to be of comparable quality, and may invest in credit default swaps of companies in the high yield universe.

A Sub-adviser may sell a security for a variety of reasons, such as where the Sub-adviser believes there is a better investment opportunity, when the portfolio managers perceive deterioration in the credit fundamentals of the issuer or when the portfolio managers believe it would be appropriate to do so in order to readjust duration of the Fund's investment portfolio.

Due to its investment strategy, the Fund may buy and sell securities and other instruments frequently.

The Fund may also lend portfolio securities in an attempt to earn additional income. Any income realized through securities lending may help Fund performance.

#### Principal risks of investing in the Fund
Investing in any mutual fund involves the risk that you may lose part or all of the money you invest. Over time, the value of your investment in the Fund will increase and decrease according to changes in the value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio.

------

#### Destinations Core Fixed Income Fund (continued) Class / Ticker: I / DCFFX, Z / DCFZX
The Fund's principal risks include:

***Market Risk.*** Market values of securities or other investments that the Fund holds will fall, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, or fail to rise. Returns from the securities in which the Fund invests may underperform returns from the general securities markets or other types of securities. Markets may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long-term.

***Fixed Income Market Risk.*** The prices of the Fund's fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. Generally, the Fund's fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. In a low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. Declines in dealer market-making capacity as a result of structural or regulatory changes could decrease liquidity and/or increase volatility in the fixed income markets. In the case of foreign securities, price fluctuations will reflect international economic and political events, as well as changes in currency valuations relative to the U.S. dollar.

***Interest Rate Risk.*** The risk that debt instruments will change in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, the value of the Fund's fixed income securities will vary inversely with the direction of prevailing interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may affect the value and liquidity of instruments held by the Fund.

***Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk.*** The risk that borrowers may default on their mortgage obligations or the guarantees underlying the mortgage-backed securities will default or otherwise fail and that, during periods of falling interest rates, mortgage-backed securities will be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of a mortgage-backed security may extend, which may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security's duration, and reduce the value of the security.

***Credit Risk.*** Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a debt security (i.e., the borrower) will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. Changes in an issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of an issuer's creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund's investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer's financial condition and on the terms of the securities.

***High Yield (Junk Bonds) Risk.*** The risk that debt instruments rated below investment grade or debt instruments that are unrated and determined by a Sub-adviser to be of comparable quality are predominantly speculative. These instruments, commonly known as 'junk bonds,' have a higher degree of default risk and may be less liquid than higher-rated bonds. These instruments may be subject to greater price volatility due to such factors as specific corporate developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative perceptions of high yield investments generally, and less secondary market liquidity.

***Asset-Backed Securities Risk.*** The risk that borrowers may default on the obligations that underlie the asset-backed security and that, during periods of falling interest rates, asset-backed securities may be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate, and the risk that the impairment of the value of the collateral underlying a security in which the Fund invests (due, for example, to non-payment of loans) will result in a reduction in the value of the security.

***Prepayment Risk.*** When interest rates fall, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated, and the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields.

***Extension Risk.*** When interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these obligations to fall.

***U.S. Government Securities Risk.*** Certain securities in which the Fund may invest, including securities issued by certain U.S. Government agencies and U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.

***Bank Loans Risk.*** The market for corporate loans may be subject to irregular trading activity and wide bid/ask spreads. In addition, transactions in corporate loans may settle on a delayed basis. As a result, the proceeds from the sale of corporate

------

loans may not be readily available to make additional investments or to meet the Fund's redemption obligations. To the extent the extended settlement process gives rise to short-term liquidity needs, the Fund may hold additional cash, sell investments or temporarily borrow from banks and other lenders.

***Foreign Securities Risk.*** Foreign securities subject the Fund to the risks associated with investing in the particular country of an issuer, including the political, regulatory, economic, social, diplomatic and other conditions or events, as well as risks associated with less developed custody and settlement practices. Foreign securities may be more volatile and less liquid than securities of U.S. companies. The performance of the Fund may also be negatively impacted by fluctuations in a foreign currency's strength or weakness relative to the U.S. dollar. Risks of foreign investment tend to be greater in emerging markets, which tend to be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid change to market or economic conditions.

***Investment Style Risk.*** Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. A Sub-adviser's approach to investing could cause it to underperform other managers that employ a different investment style.

***Active Management Risk.*** Due to the active management investment strategies used by the Fund's Sub-advisers, the Fund could underperform its benchmark index and/or other funds with similar investment objectives and/or strategies. The Sub-advisers' judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the Fund's investments may prove to be incorrect.

***Liquidity Risk.*** The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the seller would like. The seller may have to lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.

***Securities Lending Risk.*** The Fund may lose money from securities lending if, for example, it is delayed in or prevented from selling the collateral after the loan is made or recovering the securities loaned or if it incurs losses on the reinvestment of cash collateral.

***Management Risk.*** Securities held by the Fund may underperform those held by other funds investing in the same asset class or benchmarks that are representative of the asset class because of the Sub-advisers' choice of securities.

***Multi-Manager Risk.*** The Adviser may be unable to identify and retain Sub-advisers who achieve superior investment returns relative to other similar Sub-advisers. In addition, the investment styles of the Sub-advisers may not complement each other as expected by the Adviser. The Fund may experience a higher portfolio turnover rate, which can increase the Fund's transaction costs and more taxable short-term gains for shareholders.

***Portfolio Turnover Risk.*** Frequent buying and selling of investments may involve higher trading costs and other expenses and may affect the Fund's performance over time.

***Loan Assignment/Loan Participation Risk.*** If a bank loan is acquired through an assignment or a participation, the Fund will be exposed to the credit risk of both the borrower or the institution selling the participation.

***Derivatives Risk.*** Derivatives, such as forwards, futures, options and swaps, involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Specific risk issues related to the use of such derivatives include valuation and tax issues, increased potential for losses and/or costs to the Fund, and a potential reduction in gains to the Fund. Each of these issues is described in greater detail in this Prospectus. Derivatives may also involve other risks described in this Prospectus or the Fund's Statement of Additional Information (SAI), such as market, interest rate, credit, counterparty, currency, liquidity and leverage risks.

***TBA and When-Issued Transaction Risk.*** TBA and When-Issued securities involve risk that a security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There is also risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligations. If this occurs, the Fund loses both the investment opportunity for the assets it set aside to pay for the security and any gain in the security's price.

***Call Risk.*** If, during periods of falling interest rates, an issuer calls higher-yielding debt securities held by the Strategy, the Strategy may have to reinvest in securities with lower yields or higher of default, which may adversely impact the Strategy's risk performance.

------

***Hedging Risk.*** Hedges are sometimes subject to imperfect matching between the derivative and the underlying security, and there can be no assurance that the Fund's hedging transactions will be effective. In addition, the use of hedging may result in certain adverse tax consequences.

***Currency Risk.*** Exchange rates for currencies fluctuate daily. Accordingly, the Fund may experience volatility with respect to the value of its shares and its returns as a result of its exposure to foreign currencies through direct holdings of such currencies or holdings in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities.

***Investment Company and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk.*** When the Fund invests in an investment company, including closed-end funds and ETFs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company's expenses. Further, while the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, the Fund may be subject to additional or different risks than if the Fund had invested directly in the underlying investments.

Please see "Principal Risks of the Funds" for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Your investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency entity or person.

#### Performance
The bar chart and the performance table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Class I shares' performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1 year, 5 years, and since the Fund's inception compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The bar chart shows only the performance of the Fund's Class I shares. Returns for Class Z shares would have been substantially similar to those of Class I shares and would have differed only to the extent that Class I shares have higher total annual fund operating expenses than Class Z shares. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Current performance information is available at www.destinationsfunds.com or by calling 1-877-771-7979.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Fund's Class Z shares commenced operations on July 16, 2018.

The after-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an individual investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and 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. After tax returns are shown only for Class I and will vary for Class Z. In some cases, the return after taxes may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period.

#### Investment adviser
Orion Portfolio Solutions, LLC d.b.a. Brinker Capital Investments serves as the investment adviser for the Fund. The Fund employs a "multi-manager" strategy. The Adviser selects and oversees professional money managers (the Sub-advisers), each of which is responsible for investing a portion of the assets of the Fund as allocated by the Adviser. The Adviser's portfolio management team is jointly and primarily responsible for overseeing the Sub-advisers and the Fund. Where more than one person is listed with respect to a Sub-adviser, the sub-advisory team is jointly and primarily responsible for the portion of the Fund's assets allocated to such Sub-adviser.

#### Destinations Core Fixed Income Fund (concluded) Class / Ticker: I / DCFFX, Z / DCFZX

#### Purchase and sale of Fund shares
Fund shares are currently available primarily to investors participating in Brinker Capital Destinations, an investment advisory program, other asset-based fee programs sponsored by the Adviser, or through certain third-party advisory programs. Therefore, you may purchase Fund shares only from the Adviser or through one of the third-party advisory programs that uses the Fund as an investment solution. Notwithstanding the Fund having been designed for asset allocation-based advisory programs, the Fund is also available individually through the Orion platform or certain other investment platforms outside of an advisory program. Subject to the structure of their overall investment portfolio, investors who invest in just the Fund, or who invest in a group of funds other than through an advisory program, may not obtain the same investment exposure or receive the expense economies that result from investing in the Fund(s) through an investment advisory program. There are no initial or subsequent minimum purchase amounts for the Fund. Orders to sell or "redeem" shares must be placed directly with the Adviser. You may purchase or redeem shares of the Fund on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open.

#### Tax information
The Fund's distributions are generally taxable to you as ordinary income, qualified dividend income or capital gains.

#### Payments to financial intermediaries
Neither the Adviser nor the Fund pays financial intermediaries for the sale of Fund shares. If your Fund shares are held through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay such intermediary for services that the intermediary provides to you as a shareholder of the Fund, such as setting up and maintaining your account, processing and settling transactions, providing account statements, maintaining records, and sending you prospectuses and other reports. 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.
