<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 investment advisor, Catalyst Capital Advisors LLC (the "Advisor"), has contractually agreed to waive management 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 1.22%, 1.97% and 0.97% for Class A, 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 investment 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 in place 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;$693 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$201 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$100 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;3 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1191 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$878 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$577 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;5 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1713 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1580 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1080 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;10 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$3140 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$3445 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$2467 |

---

<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 60% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**:

Normally, the Fund invests primarily in a broad range of domestic and international, including emerging markets, fixed income and equity securities. These include debt securities, such as interest-paying bonds and convertible bonds, and equity securities, such as dividend-paying common stocks. The Fund may also invest in preferred stocks and write covered calls on equities. The composition of the Fund's investments in equity, debt, and cash or money market instruments may vary substantially depending on various factors, including market conditions. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 25% of its assets in fixed income securities and at least 25% of its assets in equity securities. Fixed income securities include interest-paying bonds and convertible bonds. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, and options on those securities.

The Fund may invest in the securities of companies with market capitalizations of $300 million or more and in the securities of companies of any credit quality. The Fund may invest its assets in equity securities of issuers domiciled outside the United States, including, without limitation, sponsored American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). The Fund may also invest its assets in debt securities of non-U.S. issuers. The allocation of the Fund's investments between domestic and foreign issuers will vary according to market conditions. However, under normal conditions, at least 40% of the Fund's assets is in securities of issuers domiciled in at least three countries outside of the United States.

In addition, the Fund may invest without limitation in lower quality, higher yielding debt securities (rated Ba or lower by Moody's Investors Service or BB or lower by S&P Global Ratings, or unrated but determined by the Fund's investment sub-advisor, Managed Asset Portfolios, LLC (the "Sub-Advisor") to be of equivalent quality), also known as "junk bonds."

While there are no restrictions on maturity, the bonds in the Fund's portfolio will generally have an average maturity of less than ten years.

The Sub-Advisor seeks to invest in attractively valued securities that, in its opinion, represent above-average long-term investment opportunities. The Sub-Advisor seeks investments in securities using a bottom up process to identify temporarily out of favor securities that have an attractive valuation compared to the company's net assets and earnings power. The Sub-Advisor also seeks securities where a catalyst may unlock the intrinsic value of the company. Securities are subsequently removed from the portfolio when the stock exceeds its estimated fair market value, or when there is a change or deterioration at the company that causes the portfolio managers to believe the stock is no longer attractive relative to other investment opportunities.

**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.

**ADRs Risk**. ADRs, which are typically issued by a bank, are certificates that evidence ownership of shares of a foreign company and are alternatives to purchasing foreign securities directly in their national markets and currencies. ADRs are subject to the same risks as direct investment in foreign companies and involve risks that are not found in investments in U.S. companies. In addition to the risks of investing in foreign securities discussed below, there is no guarantee that an ADR issuer will continue to offer a particular ADR. As a result, the Fund may have difficulty selling the ADR, or selling them quickly and efficiently at the prices at which they have been valued. In a sponsored ADR arrangement, the foreign company assumes the obligation to pay some or all of the depositary's transaction fees.

**Convertible Securities Risk**. Convertible securities are hybrid securities that have characteristics of both fixed income and equity securities, and are therefore subject to the 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 market value of convertible securities also tends to change whenever the market value of the underlying common or preferred stock fluctuates.

**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 Fund may invest in high-yield, high-risk securities, commonly called "junk bonds," that are not investment grade and are generally considered speculative because they present a greater risk of loss, including default, than higher quality debt securities. Credit risk may be substantial for the Fund.

**Emerging Markets Risk**. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, weaker economies, and less-developed legal systems with fewer security holder rights. Emerging market economies may be based on only a few industries, and security issuers may be more susceptible to economic weakness and more likely to default. Emerging market securities also tend to be less liquid. There may also be less reliable or publicly available information about emerging markets due to non-uniform regulatory, auditing or financial recordkeeping standards, which could cause errors in the implementation of the Fund's investment strategy. The Fund's performance may depend on issues other than those that affect U.S. companies, and may be adversely affected by different rights and remedies associated with emerging market investments, or the lack thereof, compared to those associated with U.S. companies.

**Equity Security Risk.** Common and preferred 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.

**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.

**Foreign Securities/Investments Risk**. Since the Fund's investments may include ADRs and foreign securities, the Fund is subject to risks beyond those associated with investing in domestic securities. The value of foreign securities is subject to currency fluctuations. Foreign companies are generally not subject to the same regulatory requirements as 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**. 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. For example, if interest rates go up by 1.0%, the price of a 4% coupon bond will decrease by approximately 1.0% for a bond with 1 year to maturity, and approximately 4.4% for a bond with 5 years to maturity. Rising interest rates pose a heightened risk to any longer-term fixed income securities held by the Fund.

**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, illiquidity of the instrument, and changes in value based on public perception of the issuer. 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

**Lower Quality Debt**. Lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer.

**Management Risk**. The portfolio managers' judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular securities 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 or bond market risks may also affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the securities markets.

**Medium (Mid) Capitalization Company Risk**. The earnings and prospects of mid-capitalization companies are more volatile than larger companies, they may experience higher failure rates than larger companies, and normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies, which may tend to make their market price fall more disproportionately than larger companies in response to selling pressures.

**Options Risk**. There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. 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. As the buyer of a put or call option, the Fund risks losing the entire premium invested in the option if the Fund does not exercise the option. As a seller (writer) of a put option, the Fund will lose money if the value of the underlying security falls below the strike price; the Fund's losses are potentially large in a written put transaction. If unhedged, the Fund's written call options expose the Fund to potentially unlimited losses. As a seller (writer) of a put option, the Fund will lose money if the value of the underlying reference instrument falls below the strike price. The Fund's losses are potentially large in a written put transaction. As a seller (writer) of a put option, the Fund will lose money if the value of the underlying reference instrument falls below the strike price. The Fund's losses are potentially large in a written put transaction.

**Security Risk**. The value of the Fund may decrease in response to the activities and financial prospects of an individual security or group of securities in the Fund's portfolio. There can be no guarantee the securities held by the Fund will appreciate in value.

**Small Capitalization Company Risk**. To the extent the Fund invests in the stocks of smaller-sized companies, the Fund may be subject to additional risks, including the risk that earnings and prospects of these companies are more volatile than larger companies.

**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 its Class A shares for each of the last ten full calendar years. Class C shares and Class I shares have similar annual returns to Class A shares because they are invested in the same portfolio of securities; however, 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 average annual total returns for Class A, Class C and Class I shares and how their average annual returns compare over time with those of a broad-based market index and supplemental indexes. Sales charges are reflected in the information shown in the table, but the information shown in the bar chart does not reflect sales charges, and, if it did, returns would be lower. 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. Updated performance information is available at no cost by calling 1-866-447-4228 and on the Fund's website at www.CatalystMF.com.
