---

<sup>1</sup> The 1.00% maximum deferred sales charge may be assessed in the case of investments at or above the $1 million breakpoint (where you do not pay an initial sales charge) on shares redeemed within two years of purchase.

<sup>2</sup> Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies. The total annual fund 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.

<sup>3</sup> The Fund's advisor, Catalyst Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs; borrowing costs, such as (a) interest, and (b) dividends on securities sold short; taxes; underlying fund expenses and, extraordinary expenses, such as regulatory inquiry and litigation expenses) at 2.24%, 2.99% and 1.99% for Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares, respectively, through October 31, 2026. This agreement may be terminated by the Trust's Board of Trustees only on 60 days' written notice to the Advisor, by the Advisor with the consent of the Board of Trustees, or upon the termination of the advisory agreement between the Trust and the Advisor. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment by the Advisor from the Fund in future years on a rolling three-year basis (within the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed) so long as such recoupment does not cause the Fund's expense ratio (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed both: (i) the Fund's expense limitation at the time such expenses were waived, and (ii) the Fund's current expense limitation at the time of recoupment.

<u>Example</u>: 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 hold or redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example only accounts for the Fund's expense limitation through its expiration period, October 31, 2026, and then depicts the Fund's total annual expenses thereafter. 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 on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>YEAR</u>** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Class A** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Class C** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Class I** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;1 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$796 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$309 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$209 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;3 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1278 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$969 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$671 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;5 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1786 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1654 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1159 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;10 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$3174 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$3477 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$2504 |

---

<u>Portfolio Turnover</u>: 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. The portfolio turnover rate of the Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 was 0% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**:

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by implementing options strategies on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500"), futures contracts on the S&P 500, or similar U.S. stock indexes or their futures contracts, and/or their underlying constituents. Options strategies may include buying and selling options, buying and selling option spreads, and writing covered call options. The Fund also invests collateral in excess of that needed for investing in options strategies in primarily high quality, short-term income-producing securities and cash and cash equivalents, including treasury securities and money market funds.

The Fund may invest in one or more non-exchange-traded total return swap contracts and/or one or more structured notes to gain exposure to some or all of the options strategies. These instruments can provide exposure to a basket of options strategies, including option writing and various options spreads. The options strategies are generally designed to take advantage of certain inefficiencies in the market and typically have a positive carry expectation (i.e., a positive net income expectation from putting on the options positions). The options strategies may implement risk mitigation techniques, including intraday delta hedging, which is a risk management strategy intended to reduce market exposure from written options by establishing offsetting positions in the underlying asset or related instruments. These types of options strategies may also be implemented directly without the use of a total return swap and/or structured note.

The Fund may also implement covered call strategies in which the Fund sells call options on securities it holds to generate premium income and provide partial downside protection. The covered call writing may be implemented directly or included within the basket of options strategies implemented via total return swap contracts and/or structured notes. To the extent the

Fund utilizes covered calls, the Fund intends to write covered call options on stock indexes such as the S&P 500 or on individual large-capitalization stocks.

The Fund also invests in income-producing securities and cash and cash equivalents, some or all of which may serve as margin or collateral for the Fund's options exposures. The income-producing securities in which the Fund may invest include short-term U.S. corporate bonds (including convertible bonds) and real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). The Fund may invest in corporate bonds of any credit quality (including "junk" bonds), effective maturity or average modified duration; however, under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to hold a majority of its portfolio in investment grade corporate bonds (i.e., those rated BBB or higher by S&P Global Ratings, or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical ratings organization).

The Advisor generally intends to hold such bonds to maturity, but may sell any such security if the Advisor believes that the securities no longer offer compelling risk-adjusted return potential.

**Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund**:

As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective. Investment markets are unpredictable and there will be certain market conditions where the Fund will not meet its investment objective and will lose money. The Fund's net asset value and returns will vary and you could lose money on your investment in the Fund, and those losses could be significant.

The following summarizes the principal risks of investing in the Fund. These risks could adversely affect the net asset value, total return, and value of the Fund and your investment.

**Call Options Risk.** As the seller (writer) of a covered call option, the Fund assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the purchase price of the underlying security less the premium received, and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying security above the exercise option price. The Fund continues to bear the risk that it will lose money if the value of the security falls below the strike price. As the buyer of a call option, the Fund assumes the risk that the market price of the underlying security will not increase above the strike price plus the premiums paid, so the Fund bears the risk that it will lose the premium paid for the option.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents Risk.** At any time, the Fund may have significant investments in cash and cash equivalents. When a substantial portion of a portfolio is held in cash and cash equivalents, there is the risk that the value of the cash account, including interest, will not keep pace with inflation, thus reducing purchasing power over time.

**Convertible Securities Risk**. Convertible securities are hybrid securities that have characteristics of both fixed income and equity securities, and are subject to risks associated with both fixed income and equity securities. The market value of convertible securities and other debt securities tends to fall when prevailing interest rates rise. The value of convertible securities also tends to change whenever the market value of the underlying common or preferred stock fluctuates.

**Counterparty Risk.** A counterparty to a financial instrument held by the Fund, or by a special purpose or structured vehicle invested in by the Fund, may become insolvent or otherwise fail to perform its obligations, and the Fund may obtain no or limited recovery of its investment, and any recovery may be significantly delayed.

**Credit Risk.** An issuer of a security may fail to pay principal and interest in a timely manner, reducing the Fund's total return. The price of a fixed income security tends to drop if the rating of the underlying issuer drops and the probability of the failure to pay principal and interest increases.

**Derivatives Risk.** The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) the risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: changing supply and demand relationships; government programs and policies; national and international political and economic events; changes in interest rates; inflation and deflation; and changes in supply and demand relationships. If the derivative is linked to the performance of an index, it will be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index.

**Equity Security Risk.** Equity securities, including common stocks, are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. Investor perceptions are based on various and unpredictable factors, including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies; inflation and interest rates; economic expansion or contraction; and global or regional political, economic and banking crises.

**Fixed Income Risk**. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Federal Reserve policy changes may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility and may reduce liquidity for certain Fund investments, which could cause the value of the Fund's investments and share price to decline. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the Fund's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

**Hedging Risk**. Hedging is a strategy in which the Fund uses a derivative to offset the risks associated with other Fund holdings. There can be no assurance that the Fund's hedging strategy will reduce risk, or that hedging transactions will be either available or cost effective.

**Index Risk**. If the derivative is linked to the performance of an index, it will be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index.

**Interest Rate Risk.** Overall bond prices, including the prices of securities held by the Fund, may 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. Rising interest rates pose a heightened risk to the Fund's longer-term fixed income securities.

**Junk Bond Risk**. Lower-quality bonds, known as "high yield" or "junk" bonds, 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 Fund's ability to sell its 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**. Using derivatives can create leverage, which can 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.

**Liquidity Risk**. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to sell. Although most of the Fund's securities must be liquid at the time of investment, the Fund may purchase illiquid investments and securities may become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly during periods of market turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, the Fund's investments may be harder to value, especially in changing markets, and, if the Fund is forced to sell these investments to meet redemptions or for other cash needs, the Fund may suffer a loss. In addition, when there is illiquidity in the market for certain securities, the Fund, due to limitations on investments in illiquid investments, may be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector.

**Management Risk**. The portfolio managers' judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular securities, options, and futures contracts or other derivatives in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect, and there is no guarantee that the portfolio managers' judgment will produce the desired results.

**Market Risk**. Overall stock market risks may also affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, tariffs and trade wars and political events affect the securities markets.

**Model and Data Risk**. Like all quantitative analysis, the investment models utilized by the Adviser carry the risk that the ranking system, valuation results, and predictions might be based on one or more incorrect assumptions, insufficient historical data, inadequate design, or may not be suitable for the purpose intended. In addition, models may not perform as intended for many reasons, including errors, omissions, imperfections or malfunctions.

**Options Market Risk.** Markets for options may not always operate on a fair and orderly basis. At times, prices for options may not represent fair market value and prices may be subject to manipulation, which may be extreme under some circumstances. The dysfunction and manipulation of volatility and options markets may make it difficult for the fund to effectively implement its investment strategy and achieve its objectives, and could potentially lead to significant losses.

**Options Risk**. The Fund's strategy involves the sale and purchase of call and put options. A seller (writer) of a call option will lose money if the underlying security on which the option was written increases in value to a level above the strike price of the sold option plus the premium received. Since there is no limit on how high a value of an entity can go, there is material risk in being short a call with no offsetting position. A seller (writer) of a put option will lose money if the underlying security on which the option was written decreases in value to a level below the strike price of the sold option less the premium received. The seller of a put option is limited to losing the difference between the strike price less the premium received and $0, reflecting a full loss of all value for the underlying security. The Fund's losses are potentially large in a written put transaction and potentially unlimited in an unhedged written call transaction. A seller of an option can be liquidated if the value of the underlying security advances enough in the case of a call option, or declines enough in the case of a put option, given there are no offsetting positions or enough capital to offset the unrealized losses. In a liquidation event, one should expect material realized losses.

A buyer of a call or put option risk the loss of the entire premium invested in the option. If the underlying security is not above the strike price at maturity of a call, or not below the strike price at maturity of a put, the option will expire worthless.

Additionally, purchased options may decline in value due to changes in price of the underlying reference instrument, passage of time, and changes in volatility. Generally, options may not be an effective hedge because they may have imperfect correlation to the value of the Fund's portfolio securities. Further, the underlying reference instrument on which the option is based may have imperfect correlation to the value of the Fund's portfolio securities. Option premiums are treated as short-term capital gains and, when distributed to shareholders, are usually taxable as ordinary income, which may have a higher tax rate than long-term capital gains for shareholders holding Fund shares in a taxable account. Options are also subject to leverage and volatility risk, liquidity risk, tracking risk (the risk that an option's returns will deviate from a benchmark), and sub-strategy risk (the risk that hedging sub-strategies will not perform as expected).

**Real Estate and REIT Risk**. The Fund is subject to the risks of the real estate market as a whole, such as taxation, regulations, and economic and political factors that negatively impact the real estate market and the direct ownership of real estate. These may include decreases in real estate values, overbuilding, rising operating costs, interest rates, and property taxes. In addition, some real estate related investments are not fully diversified and are subject to the risks associated with financing a limited number of projects. REITs are heavily dependent upon the management team and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, and self-liquidation.

**Regulatory Risk**. Changes in the laws or regulations of the United States or other countries, including any changes to applicable tax laws and regulations, could impair the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective, and could increase the operating expenses of the Fund.

**Structured Note Risk**. The Fund may seek investment exposure to sectors through structured notes that may be exchange traded or may trade in the over-the-counter market. These notes are typically issued by banks or brokerage firms, and have interest and/or principal payments which are linked to changes in the price level of certain assets or to the price performance of certain indices. The value of a structured note will be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for this type of note, interest rate and market volatility, changes in the issuer's credit quality rating, and economic, legal, political, or other events that affect the industry.

**Swaps Risk**. Swaps are subject to tracking risk because they may not be perfect substitutes for the instruments they are intended to hedge or replace. Over the counter swaps are subject to counterparty default. Leverage inherent in derivatives will tend to magnify the Fund's losses. The costs of investing in swaps will be indirectly paid by the Fund.

**Underlying Fund Risk.** Because the Fund may invest in other investment companies, the value of your investment will fluctuate in response to the performance of the underlying funds. Investing in underlying funds involves certain additional expenses and certain tax results that would not arise if you invested directly in the underlying fund. By investing in underlying funds, you will bear not only your proportionate share of the funds' expenses (including operating costs and investment advisory and administrative fees), but also, indirectly, similar expenses and charges of the underlying funds, including any contingent deferred sales charges and redemption charges. Finally, you may incur increased tax liabilities by investing in the Fund rather than directly in the underlying funds. Each underlying fund is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of its investment strategy, including liquidity risk and default risk on the assets held by the underlying fund.

**U.S. Government Obligations Risk**. The Fund may invest in U.S. government or agency obligations. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies and U.S. government sponsored entities may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

**Volatility Risk.** The Fund's performance may be volatile, which means that the Fund's performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes up or down.

**Performance**:

The bar chart and accompanying table shown below provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the total return of the Fund's Class A shares for each of the last ten full-calendar years. Although Class C shares and Class I shares have similar annual returns to Class A shares because the classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities, the returns for Class C shares and Class I shares are different from Class A shares because Class C shares and Class I shares have different expenses than Class A shares. The performance table shows how the average annual total returns for Class A, Class C and Class I shares compare over time with those of a broad-based market index. Sales charges are reflected in the information shown below in the table, but the information shown in the bar chart does not reflect sales charges, and, if it did, returns would be lower.

The Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Harbor Assets, LLC (the "Predecessor Fund") in a tax-free reorganization on August 30, 2013 (the "Reorganization"). In connection with the Reorganization, shares of the Predecessor Fund were exchanged for Class A shares of the Fund. Prior to November 1, 2025, the Fund was managed by a different sub-advisor with different investment strategies and policies. The performance data below for periods prior to November 1, 2025 reflects a different investment strategy. Consequently, the performance record may be less pertinent for investors considering whether to purchase shares of the Fund. The Fund's performance may have been different if the Fund's portfolio was managed under the current investment objective, strategies and policies.

Fund performance was materially impacted by a nonrecurring litigation settlement of $1.96 million booked to the Fund on June 19, 2023. The positive impact was $0.1482/share, or 1.65% of the Fund's NAV.

How the Fund has performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future.

**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. If you are investing through a tax-deferred plan, distributions may be taxable upon withdrawal from the plan.

**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.
