**Investment Objectives:** The DF Tactical Allocation Fund's (the "Fund") investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund:** 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. You may qualify for sales charge discounts on purchases of Class A shares if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the Fund. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary and in **How to Purchase Shares** on page 39 of the Fund's Prospectus.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver | 1.97% | 2.72% | 1.72% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies. The operating expenses in this fee
table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund's financial highlights because the financial statements include only
the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund, not the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The Fund's adviser has contractually agreed to waive management fees and/or to make payments to limit Fund expenses, at least until
October 31, 2026, so that the total annual operating expenses (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads; brokerage fees
and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses; fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles
or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses); borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense
on securities sold short); taxes; and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses (which may include indemnification of Fund
officers and Trustees, contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than the adviser))) of the Fund do not exceed 1.45%,
2.20% and 1.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to the Fund's Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively.
Any waiver or reimbursement by the adviser is subject to repayment by the Fund within the three years from the date the adviser waived
any payment or reimbursed any expense, if the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the current expense limitation in
place at the time of waiver or the current expense limitation and the repayment is approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement
may be terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees, on 60 days' written notice to the adviser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Fee Waiver and/or Reimbursement reflects the 0.38% fee waiver for expense limitation agreement and 0.39% fee waiver for investments in
affiliated investments for all classes.

***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:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Class** | **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| Class A | $690 | $1239 | $1812 | $3364 |
| Class C | $275 | $1000 | $1747 | $3715 |
| Class I | $175 | $702 | $1256 | $2768 |

---

***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 period, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 219% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies:** The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by diversifying the Fund's portfolio across several different asset classes that have low, or negative, correlations to one another. By having a portfolio with multiple asset classes with differing correlations, the total volatility of the Fund's portfolio should be lower than some, or all, of the underlying asset classes if they were held individually. Also, the use of cash as a tactical asset class during times of high market volatility is intended to further reduce the risk of the portfolio.

The adviser seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective by investing in exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and exchange-traded notes ("ETNs"), listed on U.S. exchanges, and mutual funds (each a "fund" and collectively "funds") that represent three major asset classes: equities, fixed income, and alternative investments. ETFs are a type of investment company whose shares are traded on a securities exchange. ETNs are structured notes whose returns are based upon the performance of one or more underlying indicators. The funds and ETNs in which the Fund invests each primarily invest in (1) U.S. common stocks, (2) foreign and emerging market common stocks, (3) U.S. fixed income securities, (4) foreign and emerging market fixed income securities or (5) alternative investments including real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), master-limited partnerships ("MLPs") and commodities. Equity funds may include those that invest in small-cap, mid-cap or large cap companies. The adviser invests Fund assets in fixed income funds without restriction as to minimum issuer credit quality, sector, capitalization, country of origin, or security maturity. Fixed income funds may invest in non-investment grade fixed income securities, commonly known as "high yield" or "junk" bonds that are rated below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service or similarly by another rating agency.

Under normal market conditions, the adviser invests the Fund's assets across U.S., foreign and emerging market securities in accordance with the following ranges (as a percentage of the Fund's net assets):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U.S. securities | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20% - 100% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Foreign securities | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0% - 80% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Emerging market securities | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0% - 40% |

---

The Fund considers emerging market countries to be those represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

MLPs owned by an ETF or fund in which the Fund invests typically are principally engaged in one or more aspects of the exploration, production, processing, transmission, marketing, storage or delivery of energy-related commodities, such as natural gas, natural gas liquids, coal, crude oil or refined petroleum products.

The Fund treats cash equivalents as a tactical asset class and has the ability to fully invest the Fund's assets in cash or cash equivalents as a potential defense against volatile market downturns. Allocations within each asset class are based on a macro, top-down approach focusing on fundamental credit-driven research and data to measure risk of each holding and the portfolio as a whole.

The adviser may invest the Fund's assets in funds that are subadvised or advised by the adviser. The adviser may engage in frequent trading of securities in managing the Fund's portfolio, resulting in a higher portfolio turnover.

**Principal Investment Risks: *As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the Fund's NAV and performance.***

The following risks apply to the Fund:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Bank Loan Risk.* The market for bank loans may not be highly liquid and the Fund may have difficulty selling them. These investments expose the Fund to the credit risk of both the financial institution and the underlying borrower. Bank loans settle on a delayed basis, potentially leading to the sale proceeds of such loans not being available to meet redemptions for a substantial period of time after the sale of the bank loans. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Commodities Risk.* The Fund may invest in funds and ETNs that invest in commodities. Investing in the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investment exposure to traditional securities. Commodity prices may be influenced by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geologic and environmental factors as well as changes in government regulation such as tariffs, embargoes or burdensome production rules and restrictions. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Credit Risk.* There is a risk that issuers will not make payments on fixed income securities held by the Fund or a fund in which the Fund invests, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of fixed income securities may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition changes. The issuer of a fixed income security may also default on its obligations. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Duration Risk.* Longer-term securities may be more sensitive to interest rate changes. Duration is the measure of the sensitivity of a debt security to changes in market interest rates. For example, if interest rates increase by 1%, a fixed income security with a duration of two years will decrease in value by approximately 2%. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Emerging Markets Risk.* Investing in emerging markets involves not only the risks described below with respect to investing in foreign securities, but also other risks, including exposure to economic structures that are generally less diverse and mature, and to political systems that can be expected to have less stability, than those of developed countries. The typically small size of the markets of securities of issuers located in emerging markets and the possibility of a low or nonexistent volume of trading in those securities may also result in a lack of liquidity and in price volatility of those securities. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Equity Risk.* The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the equity securities in which it invests. Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *ETF and Mutual Fund Risk.* ETFs and mutual funds are subject to investment advisory fees and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in ETFs and other mutual funds and may be higher than other funds that invest directly in equity and fixed income securities. Each ETF and mutual fund is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the fund. ETF shares may trade at a discount to or a premium above net asset value if there is a limited market in such shares. ETFs and index-tracking mutual funds in which the Fund invests will not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the indexes they track. ETFs are also subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *ETN Risk.* ETNs are obligations of the issuer of the ETN, are subject to credit risk, and the value of the ETN may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer's credit rating, despite the underlying market benchmark or strategy remaining unchanged. The value of an ETN may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying assets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer's credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced underlying asset. When the Fund invests in ETNs it will bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by the ETN. ETNs are also subject to tax risk. No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") will accept, or a court will uphold, how the Fund characterizes and treats ETNs for tax purposes. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Floating Rate Risk.* Changes in short-term market interest rates will directly affect the yield on the shares of a fund whose investments are normally invested in floating rate debt. If short-term market interest rates fall, the yield on the Fund's shares will also fall. Conversely, when short-term market interest rates rise, because of the lag between changes in such short-term rates and the resetting of the floating rates on the floating rate debt in the Fund's portfolio, the impact of rising rates will be delayed to the extent of such lag. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Foreign Currency Risk.* If the Fund invests in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. As a result, the Fund's investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the Fund's returns. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Foreign Securities Risk.* Because the Fund's investments may include exposure to foreign securities, the Fund is subject to risks beyond those associated with investing in domestic securities. Foreign companies are generally not subject to the same regulatory requirements of U.S. companies thereby resulting in less publicly available information about these companies. In addition, foreign accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards generally differ from those applicable to U.S. companies. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Interest Rate Risk.* Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income security prices overall, including the prices of securities held by the Fund or a fund in which the Fund invests, will decline over short or even long periods of time due to rising interest rates. Bonds with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to interest rates than bonds with shorter maturities. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Junk Bond Risk.* Lower-quality bonds, known as "high yield" or "junk" bonds, are speculative and present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased risk of default. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the ability to sell bonds. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Fund's share price. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Large Capitalization Company Risk.* Large-capitalization companies may be less able than smaller capitalization companies to adapt to changing market conditions. Large-capitalization companies may be more mature and subject to more limited growth potential compared with smaller capitalization companies. During different market cycles, the performance of large capitalization companies has trailed the overall performance of the broader securities markets. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Leverage Risk.* The Fund's use of leverage (borrowing) may amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund's share price and make the Fund's returns more volatile. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to have higher expenses than those of mutual funds that do not use such techniques. |

---

 *Management Risk.* The adviser's tactical strategy and judgments about the potential attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular security in which the Fund invests or sells short may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Market and Geopolitical Risk.* The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, tariffs and trade wars, regulatory events and governmental or quasigovernmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. For example, the COVID19 global pandemic had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long the impacts of the significant events described above would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your Fund investment. Therefore, the Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Master-Limited Partnership Risk.* Investments in MLPs and MLP-related securities involve risks different from those of investing in common stock including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP or MLP-related security, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between an MLP and the MLP's general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks (which could occur if the MLP raises capital and then invests it in projects whose return fails to exceed the cost of capital raised) and risks related to the general partner's limited call right. MLPs and MLP-related securities are generally considered interest-rate sensitive investments. During periods of interest rate volatility, these investments may not provide attractive returns. Depending on the state of interest rates in general, the use of MLPs or MLP-related securities could enhance or harm the overall performance of the Fund. |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o *Energy-Related MLP Risk.* Risks of energy-related MLPs include the risks
that a decrease in the production of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, coal or other energy commodities or a decrease in the
volume of such commodities available for transportation, mining, processing, storage or distribution may adversely impact the financial
performance of such securities.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *REIT Risk.* The value of the Fund's investment exposure to REITs may change in response to changes in the real estate market such as declines in the value of real estate, lack of available capital or financing opportunities, and increases in property taxes or operating costs. Shareholders of the Fund will indirectly be subject to the fees and expenses of the individual REITs in which the Fund invests. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Small and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk.* The stocks of small and mid-capitalization companies involve substantial risk. These companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and they may be dependent on a limited management group. Stocks of these companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies or the market averages in general. |

---

 *Turnover Risk.* A higher portfolio turnover will result in higher transactional and brokerage costs. A high portfolio turnover can potentially increase taxes, which can negatively impact Fund performance.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *U.S. Treasury Risk.* The Fund has investment exposure to short-term U.S. Treasury securities through its investment in short-term treasury exchange-traded funds or direct investment in U.S. Treasury securities. All money market instruments, including U.S. Treasury obligations, can change in value in response to changes in interest rates, and a major change in rates could cause the share price to change. While U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, an investment in the Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, U.S. government or any other government agency |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | *Underlying Funds Risk.* If funds, ETFs, short-term treasury exchange traded funds or money market funds ("Underlying Funds") are utilized, such Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that do not invest in Underlying Funds. The Fund will only utilize short-term treasury exchange-traded funds and money market mutual funds when it is in a defensive position. |

\* After-tax returns were calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares of the Fund through taxdeferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After tax returns for Class A and Class C shares, which are not shown, will vary from those of Class I shares.

\*\* The MSCI AC World Index is designed to represent performance of the full opportunity set of large- and mid-cap stocks across 23 developed and 24 emerging markets. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends. Investors may not invest in an Index directly.

\*\*\* The Dow Jones Moderately Conservative Portfolio Index is a member of the Dow Jones Relative Risk Index Series and is designed to measure a total portfolio of stocks, bonds, and cash, allocated to represent an investor's desired risk profile. The Dow Jones Moderately Conservative Portfolio Index risk level is set to 40% of the Dow Jones Global Stock CMAC Index's downside risk (past 36 months).

**Investment Adviser:** Donoghue Forlines LLC is the Fund's investment adviser (the "adviser").

**Portfolio Managers:** John A. Forlines III, CIO of the adviser, Jeffrey R. Thompson, CEO of the adviser, Richard E. Molari, COO of the adviser and Nicholas A. Lobley, Portfolio Manager of the adviser each serve the Fund as a Portfolio CoManager. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Molari, each have served the Fund as a Portfolio Co-Manager since it commenced operations in April 2018. Mr. Forlines has served the Fund as Portfolio Co-Manager since October 2018. Mr. Lobley has served the Fund as Portfolio Co-Managers since December 2019. Each Portfolio Manager is jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares:** You may purchase and redeem shares of the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading by written request, telephone or website.

There is no minimum subsequent investment for Class I shares.

**Tax Information:** Dividends and capital gain distributions you receive from the Fund, whether you reinvest your distributions in additional Fund shares or receive them in cash, are taxable to you at either ordinary income or capital gains tax rates unless you are investing through a tax-deferred plan such as an IRA or 401(k) plan. However, these dividend and capital gain distributions may be taxable upon their eventual withdrawal from tax-deferred plans.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries:** 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.
