**FRANK VALUE FUND SUMMARY**

**INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. THE FRANK VALUE FUND'S (THE "FUND") INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM CAPITAL APPRECIATION.**

**FEES AND EXPENSES. THIS TABLE DESCRIBES FEES AND EXPENSES THAT YOU MAY PAY IF YOU BUY AND HOLD THE FUND'S SHARES. YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY COMMISSION AND/OR OTHER FORMS OF COMPENSATION TO A BROKER FOR TRANSACTIONS IN INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES, WHICH ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE TABLES OR THE EXAMPLES BELOW.**

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)** | **Investor Class** | **Class C** | **Institutional Class** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Redemption Fee *(as a percentage of amount redeemed on shares held less than 5 business days)*  | 2.00% | 2.00% | 2.00% |
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)** |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Management Fees | 0.91% | 0.91% | 0.91% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.25% | 1.00% | 0.00% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Expenses | 0.21% | 0.21% | 0.21% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses<sup>1</sup> | 0.01% | 0.01% | 0.01% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 1.38% | 2.13% | 1.13% |

---

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.

**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 on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| **Investor Class** | $140 | $437 | $755 | $1657 |
| **Class C** | $216 | $667 | $1144 | $2462 |
| **Institutional Class** | $115 | $359 | $622 | $1375 |

---

**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 105.26% OF THE AVERAGE VALUE OF ITS PORTFOLIO.**

**PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.** 

The Fund's principal investment strategy is value investing. The Fund invests in common stock of U.S. companies that the Fund's adviser, Frank Capital Partners LLC (the "Adviser"), believes are underpriced based on the company's intrinsic value. The Adviser defines intrinsic value as the price an intelligent and informed business owner would pay for the enterprise, and is independent from the current selling price in the stock markets.

The Adviser uses quantitative analysis to identify undervalued companies, examining such traditional value criteria as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· price-to-earnings, price-to-book value and price-to-cash flow ratios;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the discounted value of future cash flows;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· acquisition values of similar companies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the value stockholders would receive if the company was liquidated.

The Adviser then performs subjective analysis, including the review of trade magazines, annual reports, and regulatory filings. The Adviser considers the future growth potential of the company, its products and services, its industry position, and the quality of its management before making a final determination of the company's intrinsic value.

The Fund invests in common stocks of companies that have strong financial positions, evidenced by balance sheets without significant debt or other liabilities compared to cash reserves. The Adviser believes financial markets place undue emphasis on a company's income, often ignoring the balance sheet. Therefore, companies with strong balance sheets may have significantly discounted market prices. The Fund may invest in companies regardless of size, including small- and micro-cap companies. The Adviser sells common stocks when the market price exceeds its estimate of intrinsic value.

From time to time the Fund may be invested more heavily in a particular sector if the Adviser determines that companies in that sector present the best value. The Adviser may invest in "special situation" companies, including spin-offs and companies recently emerging from bankruptcy. The Fund may hold a significant portion of its assets in cash and cash equivalents if sufficient value opportunities are not present in the market.

**PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS**

As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

*Cash and Cash Equivalents Risk:* At any time, the Fund may have significant investments in cash or cash equivalents. When a substantial portion of a portfolio is held in cash or 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.

*Common Stock Risk*: The Fund invests the majority of its assets in common stocks. Historically, common stocks are more volatile than other securities such as bonds. The common stock of a company that experiences financial distress may lose significant value or become worthless. The rights of common stockholders are subordinate to all other claims on a company's assets including debt holders and preferred stockholders; therefore, the Fund could lose money if a company in which it invests becomes financially distressed.

*Management Risk*: A risk of investing in the Fund is that the Adviser's strategy of investing in undervalued securities may fail. The Adviser may be incorrect in its assessment of the intrinsic value of the companies in which the Fund invests, or value stocks may be out of favor with investors.

*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, climate-change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events, tariffs and trade wars and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, natural disasters, pandemics, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund's portfolio.

*Portfolio Turnover Risk:* A higher portfolio turnover results in higher transactional and brokerage costs.

*Sector Risk*: If the Fund's portfolio is overweighted in a certain sector, any negative development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the Fund than it would have on a fund that is not overweighted in that sector. The Fund may from time to time have a greater focus in certain sectors, and weakness in those sectors could result in significant losses to the Fund.

*Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Risk*: Because the Fund may invest in smaller and mid-capitalization companies, the Fund will be subject to additional risks. The earnings and prospects of such companies are more volatile than larger companies, and they may experience higher failure rates than larger companies. The trading volume of securities of smaller companies is normally less than that of larger companies and, therefore, may disproportionately affect their market price, tending to make them fall more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger companies. Smaller and mid-capitalization may also have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and may lack management experience.

*Special Situation Risk*: The Fund may invest a significant portion of assets in special situations, such as spin-offs, companies recently emerging from bankruptcy, and merger securities. Spin-off companies may encounter difficulties because they are operating on their own for the first time, without the protection of their parent company. Spin-offs also may be created for the purpose of moving liabilities from the parent company to the spin-off. These potential problems may impair operating results, leading to losses to the Fund. Additionally, there is a possibility that the spin-off company may incur the business risk of the parent. Companies that have recently emerged from bankruptcy may still have the problems that caused the initial bankruptcy filing, leading to poor operating results or possibly another bankruptcy filing. These companies also may have weak financial positions. Merger securities may encounter complications arising from the expected transaction. Finally, the Adviser may incorrectly evaluate any of these special situation stocks, resulting in losses to the Fund.

*Value Investing Risk:* Value stocks may remain undervalued during a given time period and may not ever realize their full value.
