**SUMMARY PROSPECTUS**

**June 1, 2025**

*Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information ("SAI"), which contain more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund's Prospectus, SAI and other information about the Fund online at www.summitryfunds.com. You can also get this information at no cost by calling (866) 954-6682 or by sending an email request to Fulfillment@ultimusfundsolutions.com. The current Prospectus and SAI, dated June 1, 2025, are incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus.*

**Investment Objective**

The investment objective of the Summitry Equity Fund (the "Fund") is to provide long-term capital appreciation. A secondary objective is to provide current income.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below 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 table and example below** **.** 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Shareholder Fees** <br> *(Fees paid directly from your investment)* |  |
| Fee for Redemptions Paid by Wire | $15 |
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br> *(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)* |  |
| Management Fees | 1.00% |
| Distribution (12b-1) Fees<sup>1</sup> | 0.00% |
| Other Expenses | 0.37% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 1.37% |
| Fee Waiver/Expense Reimbursement<sup>2</sup> | (0.12%) |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver/ Expense Reimbursement | 1.25% |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 1 | The Fund has adopted a 12b-1 Plan that permits the Fund to pay 0.25% of its average daily net assets to financial institutions that provide distribution and/or shareholder servicing. The Plan will not be activated prior to May 31, 2026. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 2 | Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers/Expense Reimbursement reflects that, as of the date of the Fund's Prospectus, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or limit its fees and to assume other expenses of the Fund until May 31, 2026, so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses does not exceed 1.25%. This contractual arrangement may only be terminated by mutual consent of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Trust, and it will automatically terminate upon the termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser. This operating expense limitation does not apply to: (i) interest, (ii) taxes, (iii) brokerage commissions, (iv) other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (v) other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business, (vi) dividend expense on short sales, (vii) expenses incurred under a plan of distribution under Rule 12b-1, and (viii) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement, if applicable, incurred by the Fund in any fiscal year. The operating expense limitation also excludes any "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses," which are the expenses indirectly incurred by the Fund as a result of investing in money market funds or other investment companies, including ETFs, that have their own expenses. Each waiver or reimbursement of an expense by the Adviser is subject to repayment by the Fund within the three years following the date the particular expense payment occurred, provided that the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitation in place at the time of the waiver or reimbursement and the expense limitation in place at the time of the repayment. |

**Expense 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, the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, the 12b-1 Plan will not be activated prior to May 31, 2026, and the contractual agreement to limit expenses remains in effect only until May 31, 2026. 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** |
| $127 | $475 | $846 | $1891 |

---

**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 operating expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 11.17% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund invests primarily in common stocks that in the opinion of the Fund's adviser, Summitry LLC, (the "Adviser") appear to be temporarily undervalued by the market. The Adviser focuses on businesses that have strong cash flow, solid balance sheets, a history of consistent profitability, high return on capital, and the capacity to pay and regularly increase dividends. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in equity securities.

The Adviser considers a security to be temporarily undervalued if the security's intrinsic value as assessed by the Adviser's proprietary "Equity Research and Portfolio Implementation Process," is significantly greater than the range in which the security is trading in the securities markets. In order to implement this strategy, the Adviser will focus on large capitalization global businesses, pay strict attention to the valuation of each business, and invest for the long-term.

The Adviser will select portfolio securities after a security has passed through its "Equity Research and Portfolio Implementation Process." Typically, this process begins with quantitative screens or other idea sources that narrow the initial universe of stocks based on market capitalization, valuation metrics, return metrics, growth characteristics and financial strength.

Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stocks and common stock equivalents (such as rights or warrants, which give the Fund the ability to purchase the common stock, and convertible securities, which are securities that are convertible into the common stock), real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), and shares of other investment companies (including open-end and closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs")) whose portfolios primarily consist of equity securities. The Fund also may invest in foreign companies, either directly or through American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), which are receipts issued by U.S. banks for shares of a foreign corporation that entitle the holder to dividends and capital gains on the underlying security. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in cash and other cash equivalents.

Overpriced securities and those with deteriorating fundamentals that cannot support the current valuation of the security are candidates for sale.

**Principal Risks**

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. There may be circumstances that could prevent the Fund from achieving its investment goal and you may lose money by investing in the Fund. You should carefully consider the Fund's investment risks before deciding whether to invest in the Fund. 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 change over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Stock Market Risk.** Overall stock market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as
domestic and foreign economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, pandemics, natural disasters, and political events affect
the securities markets. Movements in the stock market may affect adversely the specific securities held by the Fund on a daily basis,
and, as a result, such movements may negatively affect the Fund's net asset value per share ("NAV"). When the value
of the Fund's investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Risk of Warrants and Rights.** A warrant or a right may become worthless unless exercised or sold
before expiration. For example, if the market price of the common stock does not exceed the exercise price during the life of the warrant
or right, the warrant or right will expire worthless. Warrants and rights have no voting rights, pay no dividends and have no rights with
respect to the assets of the corporation issuing them. The percentage increase or decrease in the value of a warrant or right may be greater
than the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the underlying common stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Convertible Securities Risk.** The value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest
rates, with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline. The credit standing of the
company issuing the convertible security and other factors also may have an effect on the convertible security's investment value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Volatility Risk.** Common stocks tend to be more volatile than other investment alternatives. The
value of an individual company can be more volatile than the market as a whole. This volatility affects the value of the Fund's
shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Management Risk.** Fund management's skill in choosing appropriate investments will play a
large part in determining whether the Fund is able to achieve its investment objective. To the extent appropriate investments are not
chosen, the Fund may decline in value and you could lose money.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Growth Risk.** If the Adviser's perceptions of a company's growth potential are wrong,
the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Fund's return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Large-Cap Risk.** Large capitalization companies tend to be less volatile than companies with smaller
market capitalization. This potentially lower risk means that the Fund's share price may not rise as much as share prices of funds
that focus on smaller capitalization companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Foreign Securities Risk.** There may be less information about foreign companies in the form of
reports and ratings than about U.S. issuers. Foreign issuers may not be subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting
requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Foreign markets may not be as developed or efficient as those in the United
States, and there is generally less government supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers and listed issuers than in
the United States. Investments in foreign securities also subject the Fund to risks associated with fluctuations in currency values.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Sector Risk.** The Adviser may allocate more of the Fund's investments to particular segments
of the market. A particular market sector can be more volatile or underperform relative to the market as a whole. Stocks within the same
group of industries will decline in price due to sector-specific, market or economic developments. To the extent that the Fund has over-weighted
holdings within a particular sector, such as Information Technology, the Fund is subject to an increased risk that its investments in
that particular sector may decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that sector.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Focus Risk.** While the Fund is diversified, it may, at times, hold the securities of a small number
of issuers. At such times where the Fund may hold the securities of fewer issuers, the performance of these issuers could have a substantial
impact on the Fund's performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Risk.** The Fund's investments in REIT securities will
expose the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate, including changes in interest rates, overbuilding,
increased property taxes, or regulatory actions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Other Investment Company Risk.** The Fund will incur higher and duplicative expenses when it invests
in mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment companies. There is also the risk that the Fund may suffer losses due to the investment practices
of the underlying funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Investment Risk.** Various sectors of the global financial markets have been experiencing an extended
period of adverse conditions. Market uncertainty has increased dramatically, particularly in the United States and Europe, and adverse
market conditions have expanded to other markets. These conditions have resulted in disruption of markets, periods of reduced liquidity,
greater volatility, general volatility of spreads, an acute contraction in the availability of credit and a lack of price transparency.
The long-term impact of these events is uncertain but could continue to have a material effect on general economic conditions, consumer
and business confidence and market liquidity.

Economic problems in a single country are increasingly affecting other markets and economies, and a continuation of this trend could adversely affect global economic conditions and world markets. Uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets and political systems of the U.S. or any other country, including volatility as a result of the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas and the rapidly evolving measures in response, may have adverse spill-over effects into the global financial markets generally.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Cybersecurity Risk.** The Fund and its service providers may be subject, directly or indirectly,
to operational and information security risks resulting from breaches in cybersecurity that may cause the Fund to lose or compromise confidential
information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Similar types of cybersecurity risks are also present for issuers of
securities in which the Fund may invest, which may cause the Fund's investments in such companies to lose value. There is no guarantee
the Fund will be successful in protecting against cybersecurity breaches.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit at a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by any government agency.

**Tax Information**

The Fund's distributions are taxable and will be taxed as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged account, such as a 401(k) plan, individual retirement account (IRA) or 529 college savings plan.

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

If you purchase Fund shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank or trust company), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.
