&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Sub-Advisory
Fee is a fulcrum fee with a base or fulcrum of 30 bps (0.30%) and range from 0.15% to 0.45% based on the Fund's performance relative
to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund's benchmark.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) 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.

***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:

**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 year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 35% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies:** The Fund's Sub-Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objectives by investing primarily in corporate and government bonds using the Sub-Adviser's active management techniques including sector analysis and allocation through active sector rotation, issuer selection and opportunistic trading. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in corporate bonds of issuers from any country and in government bonds. The Fund defines corporate bonds to include: (1) debt securities issued by a corporation (or equivalent entity), (2) non-government mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (MBS), (3) asset-backed securities (ABS) and (4) index-linked bonds. These securities may be issued in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and subject to restriction on resale. The Fund defines government bonds to include: (1) any United States government issued or guaranteed MBS (Gov-MBS) and debt securities issued by the United States' Treasury, any agency or instrumentality of the United States; (2) any multi-governmental entity of which the United States is a member; and (3) any state or other political subdivision within the United States or its territories. In general, the Sub-Adviser buys securities that its active management techniques identify as undervalued and sells them when more compelling investments are available. The Fund's Sub-Adviser may engage in active and frequent trading of the Fund's portfolio securities to achieve the Fund's investment objectives.

The Fund may invest up to 40% of its assets in higher-yielding, higher-risk corporate and government bonds, including high-yield bank loans — also known as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds — with medium to low credit quality ratings. High-yield bonds and bank loans are rated BB+ or lower by S&P or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or if unrated determined by the Sub-Adviser to be of comparable quality. However, the Fund intends to maintain an average portfolio credit quality of investment grade. The bonds in the Fund's portfolio can be of any maturity.

The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in derivative instruments, such as swaps (including credit default swap indices and single name credit default swaps), and forward and futures contracts, including interest rate futures. Derivatives may be used for investment purposes and/or to manage risks. The Fund also may hold foreign exchange derivatives (including currency forwards of both developed and emerging market countries). These instruments may be used to reduce foreign currency risk and/or to enhance returns.

The Fund may also engage in securities lending.

**Principal Investment Risks: *As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Although the Fund will strive to meet its investment objective, there is no assurance that it will do so. Many factors affect the Fund's net asset value and performance.***

*Credit Risk –* Issuers of debt securities may suffer from a reduced ability to repay their interest and principal obligations. They may even default on interest and/or principal payments due to the Fund. An increase in credit risk or a default will cause the value of Fund debt securities to decline. Issuers with lower credit quality are more susceptible to economic or industry downturns and are more likely to default.

*Interest Rate Risk –* In general, the price of a debt security falls when interest rates rise. Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer maturities may be more sensitive to interest rate changes.

*Call or Redemption Risk –* If interest rates decline, issuers of debt securities may exercise redemption or call provisions. This may force the Fund to reinvest redemption or call proceeds in securities with lower yields, which may reduce Fund performance.

*Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk –* During periods of sustained rising rates, fixed income risks will be amplified. If the U.S. Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") raises the federal funds interest rate target, interest rates across the U.S. financial system may rise. Rising rates tend to decrease liquidity, increase trading costs, and increase volatility, all of which make portfolio management more difficult and costly to the Fund and its shareholders.

*Lower-Rated Securities Risk –* Securities rated below investment-grade, sometimes called "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, are speculative investments that generally have more credit risk than higher-rated securities. Companies issuing high-yield fixed-income securities are not as strong financially as those issuing securities with higher credit ratings and are more likely to encounter financial difficulties. Lower rated issuers are more likely to default and their securities could become worthless.

*Private Placement Risk –* Privately issued securities, including those which may be sold only in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, are restricted securities that are not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for specific privately issued securities may vary. Delay or difficulty in selling such securities may result in a loss to the Fund. Privately issued securities that the Sub-Adviser determines to be "illiquid" are subject to the Fund's policy of not investing more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

*Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk –* Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities often involve risks that are different from or more acute than risks associated with other types of debt instruments. Generally, rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of fixed rate mortgage-backed securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility in a period of rising interest rates if it holds mortgage-backed securities (known as "extension risk"). Mortgage-backed securities may also be subject to prepayment risk; when interest rates decline, borrowers may pay off their mortgages sooner than expected. This can reduce the Fund's returns because the Fund may have to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates. Non-agency mortgage-backed securities generally have greater credit risk than government issued mortgage-backed securities.

*U.S. Government Securities Risk* – The risk that U.S. Government securities in the Fund's portfolio will be subject to price fluctuations, or that an agency or instrumentality will default on an obligation not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

*Long-Term Maturities/Durations Risk –* The risk of greater price fluctuations than would be associates with securities having shorter maturities or durations.

*Senior Bank Loans Risk –* Senior loans are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a senior loan, which typically holds the most senior position in the issuer's capital structure, to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of senior loans. Senior 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 senior loans. The market prices of floating rate loans are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than are the market prices for securities with fixed interest rates. Certain senior loans may not be considered "securities," and purchasers, such as the Fund, therefore, may not be entitled to rely on the protections of federal securities laws, including anti-fraud provisions.

*IBOR Risk –* The risk that the elimination of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or similar interbank offered rates ("IBORs"), such as the Euro Overnight Index Average ("EONIA"), or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of such rates, could have an adverse impact on the market for, or value of, any securities or payments linked to those rates. While some instruments may contemplate a scenario where LIBOR or a similar rate is no longer available by providing for an alternative rate setting methodology, not all instruments have such fallback provisions. Moreover, the effectiveness of replacement rates is uncertain.

*Emerging Markets Risk –* Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, weaker economies, and less-developed legal systems which do not protect securities holders. 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.

*Foreign Investing Risk –* Investments in foreign countries are subject to currency risk and country-specific risks such as political, diplomatic, regional conflicts, terrorism, war, social and economic instability, and policies that have the effect of decreasing the value of foreign securities. Foreign countries may be subject to different trading settlement practices, less government supervision, less publicly available information, limited trading markets and greater volatility than U.S. investments.

*Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk* – Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease and illness, including pandemics and epidemics (such as the novel coronavirus), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets.

*Management Risk –* The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Sub-Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there is no guarantee that its decisions will produce the intended result. The successful use of hedging and risk management techniques may be adversely affected by imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the hedging vehicles and the securities being hedged.

*Derivatives Risk –* Derivatives or other similar instruments (referred to collectively as "derivatives"), such as futures, forwards, options, swaps, structured securities and other instruments, are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivatives may involve costs and risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the costs and risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives prices can be volatile, may correlate imperfectly with price of the applicable underlying asset, reference rate or index and may move in unexpected ways, especially in unusual market conditions, such as markets with high volatility or large market declines. Some derivatives are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. Other risks include liquidity risk which refers to the potential inability to terminate or sell derivative positions and for derivatives to create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. Further, losses could result if the counterparty to a transaction does not perform as promised. Derivatives that involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed may be considered to be "leveraged," which can magnify or otherwise increase investment losses. In addition, the use of derivatives for non-hedging purposes (that is, to seek to increase total return) is considered a speculative practice and may present an even greater risk of loss than when used for hedging purposes. Derivatives are also subject to operational and legal risks.

*Currency Risk* – Adverse changes in currency exchange rates (relative to the U.S. dollar) may erode or reverse any potential gains from the Fund's investments denominated in a foreign currency or may widen existing losses. Exchange rate movements are volatile and it may not be possible to effectively hedge the currency risks of many countries.

*Securities Lending Risk* – The risk of securities lending is that the financial institution that borrows securities from the Fund could go bankrupt or otherwise default on its commitment under the securities lending agreement and the Fund might not be able to recover the loaned securities or their value.

**Performance:** The following bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of Class N Shares of the Fund from year to year and by showing how the Fund's Class A, Class C and Class N average annual returns compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Class A sales charge is reflected in the average annual total return table. Past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how a Fund will perform in the future.

\* The Morningstar Intermediate Core-Plus Bond Category is generally representative of intermediate-term bond mutual funds that primarily invest in corporate and other investment-grade U.S. fixed-income securities and typically have durations of 3.5 to 6.0 years. Funds in this category also invest in high-yield and foreign bonds.

After-tax returns are estimated and are based on 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 are likely to differ from those shown. If you own shares of the Fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information is not applicable to your investment, because such accounts are only subject to taxes upon distribution. After tax returns for Class C and Class A shares, which are not shown, will vary from those of Class N shares.

**Tax Information**

Dividends and capital gain distributions you receive from a 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.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation**

If you purchase a 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.
