**SUMMARY SECTION**

**Congress Mid Cap Growth Fund**

**Investment Objective**

The Congress Mid Cap Growth Fund (the "Mid Cap Fund" or "Fund") seeks long-term capital appreciation.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Mid Cap Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and expenses below.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br>***(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)*** | **Retail <br>Class** | **Institutional**<br>**Class** |
| Management Fees | 0.60% | 0.60% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.25% |  |
| Other Expenses | 0.18% | 0.18% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 1.03% | 0.78% |

---

**Example**

The Example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Mid Cap Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. This Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Mid Cap 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% annual 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** |
| **Retail Class** | $105 | $328 | $569 | $1259 |
| **Institutional Class** | $80 | $249 | $433 | $966 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Mid Cap 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 fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 16% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Mid Cap Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of mid-capitalization companies. The Fund invests primarily in publicly traded stocks of U.S. companies which Congress Asset Management Company, LLP (the "Advisor") considers to have a mid-size market capitalization. The Mid Cap Fund defines mid-capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization, at the time of purchase, are consistent with the market capitalizations of companies in the Russell Midcap Growth<sup>®</sup> Index. As of the last reconstitution date, May 6, 2022, the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap Growth<sup>®</sup> Index ranged from $2.9 billion to $46.5 billion. The Fund may invest any portion of the remaining 20% of its net assets in equity securities of small-capitalization and large-capitalization companies. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign equity securities, including through American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") issued by U.S. depository banks, which are traded on U.S. exchanges. The Fund invests in

------

companies that the Advisor believes are experiencing or will experience earnings growth. The Advisor employs a "bottom-up" approach to research and stock selection, which means that the Advisor bases its investments on a company's future prospects and not on any significant economic or market cycle. The Advisor also uses a growth-style approach to selecting securities with a focus on high quality companies. The Advisor's fundamental approach emphasizes earnings growth and free cash flow. The Advisor may sell a security for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, if a determination is made that the security no longer meets its investment criteria or if a new security is judged more attractive than a current holding. The Mid Cap Fund may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market. As of October 31, 2022, 31.2% of the Fund's net assets were invested in securities within the information technology sector.

**Principal Risks of Investing in the Mid Cap Fund**

There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Mid Cap Fund. The following risks are considered principal to the Mid Cap Fund and could affect the value of your investment in the Fund:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Small and Medium Companies Risk:** Securities of small and medium cap companies may possess comparatively greater price volatility and less liquidity than the securities of companies that have larger market capitalizations and/or that are traded on major stock exchanges.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Growth Style Investment Risk:** Growth stocks may lose value or fall out of favor with investors. Growth stocks may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Equity Securities Risk:** Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than its cost when originally purchased or less than it was worth at an earlier time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Sector-Focus Risk:** Investing a significant portion of the Fund's assets in one sector of the market exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential monetary losses than if those assets were spread among various sectors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ **Information Technology Sector Risk:** The information technology sector can be significantly affected by rapid obsolescence of existing technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants, government regulation, and general economic conditions.

The remaining principal risks are presented in alphabetical order. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Mid Cap Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **General Market Risk:** Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in the general financial markets, a particular financial market, or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); interest rates; global demand for particular products or resources; natural disasters or events; pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and government controls. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which has resulted in a public health crisis, disruptions to business operations and supply chains, stress on the global healthcare system, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, staffing shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand, and widespread concern and uncertainty. The global recovery from COVID-19 is proceeding at slower than expected rates due to the emergence of variant strains and may last for an extended period of time. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest rates,

------

rising inflation, political events, rising government debt in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Foreign Investment Risk:** Foreign securities involve increased risks due to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as due to differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory practices. When the Fund invests in ADRs as a substitute for an investment directly in the underlying foreign shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the ADRs may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the underlying foreign shares. GDRs generally are subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Large Companies Risk:** Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. Also, large-cap companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Management Risk:** The Fund may not meet its investment objective based on the Advisor's success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.

**Performance Information**

The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart below only illustrates how Institutional Class shares of the Fund's total returns have varied since inception. The returns for the Fund's Retail Class shares, both before and after taxes, may be lower than the returns shown in the bar chart below for the Institutional Class shares, depending on the fees and expenses of the Retail Class shares. The table below illustrates how the Fund's average annual total returns for the 1-year, 5-year and since inception periods compare with a domestic broad-based market index and a secondary index provided to offer a broader market perspective. The Fund's performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance is available on the Fund's website at www.congressasset.com/funds.

---

After tax returns in the table above are only illustrated for the Fund's Institutional Class Shares. After tax returns for the Fund's Retail Class Shares will vary. After tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your situation and may differ from those shown. Furthermore, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to those who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts ("IRAs").

The "Return After Taxes on Distributions" shows the effect of taxable distributions (dividends and capital gains distributions), but assumes that you still hold Fund shares at the end of the period. The "Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" shows the effect of both taxable distributions and any taxable gain or loss that would be realized if a Fund's shares were sold at the end of the specified period.

**Tax Information**

The Fund's distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

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

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or the Advisor 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.

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 fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 of the Large Cap Fund, the portfolio turnover rate was 23% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Large Cap Fund attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of large-capitalization companies. The Large Cap Fund defines large-capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization, at the time of purchase, are consistent with the market capitalizations of companies in the Russell 1000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index. As of the last reconstitution date, May 6, 2022, the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 1000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index ranged from $2.9 billion to $2,545.6 billion. The Large Cap Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets from time to time in equity securities of small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stock and preferred stock. The Large Cap Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign equity securities, including through American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") issued by U.S. depository banks, which are traded on U.S. exchanges. Congress Asset Management Company, LLP (the "Advisor") employs a "bottom-up"

------

approach to stock selection, which means that the Advisor chooses the Fund's investments based on a company's future prospects and not on any significant economic or market cycle. The Advisor also uses a growth-style approach to selecting securities with a focus on high quality companies. The Advisor's fundamental approach emphasizes growth of earnings and free cash flow. The Advisor may sell a security for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, if it determines that the security no longer meets its investment criteria or if a new security is judged more attractive than a current holding. The Large Cap Fund may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market. As of October 31, 2022, 37.3% of the Fund's net assets were invested in securities within the information technology sector.

**Principal Risks of Investing in the Large Cap Fund**

There is the risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Large Cap Fund. The following risks are considered principal to the Large Cap Fund and could affect the value of your investment in the Fund:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Large Companies Risk:** Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. Also, large-cap companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Growth Style Investment Risk:** Growth stocks may lose value or fall out of favor with investors. Growth stocks may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Equity Securities Risk:** Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than its cost when originally purchased or less than it was worth at an earlier time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Sector-Focus Risk:** Investing a significant portion of the Fund's assets in one sector of the market exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential monetary losses than if those assets were spread among various sectors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ **Information Technology Sector Risk:** The information technology sector can be significantly affected by rapid obsolescence of existing technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants, government regulation, and general economic conditions.

The remaining principal risks are presented in alphabetical order. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Large Cap Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **General Market Risk:** Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in the general financial markets, a particular financial market, or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); interest rates; global demand for particular products or resources; natural disasters or events; pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and government controls. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which has resulted in a public health crisis, disruptions to business operations and supply chains, stress on the global healthcare system, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, staffing shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand, and widespread concern and uncertainty. The global recovery from COVID-19 is proceeding at slower than expected rates due to the emergence of variant strains

------

and may last for an extended period of time. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest rates, rising inflation, political events, rising government debt in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Foreign Investment Risk:** Foreign securities involve increased risks due to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as due to differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory practices. When the Fund invests in ADRs as a substitute for an investment directly in the underlying foreign shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the ADRs may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the underlying foreign shares. GDRs generally are subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Management Risk:** The Fund may not meet its investment objective based on the Advisor's success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Small and Medium Companies Risk:** Securities of small and medium cap companies may possess comparatively greater price volatility and less liquidity than the securities of companies that have larger market capitalizations and/or that are traded on major stock exchanges.

**Performance Information**

The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

The performance information shown for periods before September 15, 2017, reflects the historical performance of the Century Shares Trust, a series of Century Capital Management Trust (the "Accounting Survivor"). Effective as of the close of business on September 15, 2017, the Accounting Survivor was reorganized into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). As part of the Reorganization, Institutional Class shares of the Accounting Survivor were exchanged for Institutional Class shares of the Fund. As of the date of the Reorganization, the Accounting Survivor did not have any Retail Class shares outstanding. Upon completion of the Reorganization, the Fund assumed the performance, financial and other historical information of the Accounting Survivor. The Accounting Survivor and the Fund have substantially similar investment objectives and strategies. Disclosure differences between the investment objectives and strategies for the Accounting Survivor and the Fund have not resulted, and are not expected to result, in substantial differences in the actual management of the Accounting Survivor and the Fund. One of the two portfolio managers of the Accounting Survivor is a member of the portfolio management team of the Fund. The Fund has lower expenses than the Accounting Survivor (including a lower management fee). The Accounting Survivor's performance would have been higher than that shown had it operated with the Fund's current expense levels.

The bar chart below only illustrates how Institutional Class shares of the Fund's total returns have varied from one calendar year to another over the past 10 years. The returns for the Fund's Retail Class shares, both before and after taxes, may be lower than the returns shown in the bar chart below for the Institutional Class shares of the Fund, depending on the fees and expenses of the Retail Class shares. As the Fund's expense ratio was lower than that of the Accounting Survivor at the time of the Reorganization for the Institutional Class shares, the Fund's returns would have been higher than those shown here. The table below illustrates how the Fund's average annual total returns for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods compare with a domestic broad-based market index and a secondary index provided to offer a broader market perspective. The Fund's performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance is available on the Fund's website at www.congressasset.com/funds.

**Tax Information**

The Large Cap Fund's distributions are taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

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

If you purchase shares of the Large Cap Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or the Advisor 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.

**SUMMARY SECTION**

**Congress Small Cap Growth Fund**

**Investment Objective**

The Congress Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Small Cap Fund" or "Fund") seeks long-term capital growth.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund** 

This table 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 tables and expenses below.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br>*(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)* | **Retail <br>Class** | **Institutional <br>Class** |
| Management Fees | 0.85% | 0.85% |
| Distribution (12b-1) Fees *(up to 0.25% for Retail Class)* | 0.25% |  |
| Other Expenses | 0.24% | 0.25% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses<sup>(1)</sup> | 1.34% | 1.10% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement | -0.09% | -0.10% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement <sup>(1)</sup> | 1.25% | 1.00% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>Congress Asset Management Company, LLP (the "Advisor") has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay Fund expenses (excluding the expenses associated with Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, interest expense in connection with investment activities, taxes and extraordinary expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees and any other class-specific expenses) in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement for the Small Cap Fund to 1.00% of the Small Cap Fund's average net assets (the "Expense Cap"). The Expense Cap is indefinite, and will remain in effect until at least February 28, 2024. The Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Board of Trustees upon 60 days' written notice to the Advisor, or by the Advisor with the consent of the Board. The Advisor is permitted, with Board approval, to be reimbursed for fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three years from the date the fees were waived and/or expenses were paid. This reimbursement may be requested if the amount actually paid by the Fund toward operating expenses for such period (taking into account any reimbursement) does not exceed the lesser of the Expense Cap in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement. The Small Cap Fund's net operating expenses may be higher to the extent that the Fund incurs expenses that are excluded from the Expense Cap.

**Example**

The Example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. This 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% annual return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the contractual Expense Caps for the first year only). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **One Year** | **Three Years** | **Five Years** | **Ten Years** |
| **Retail Class** | $127 | $416 | $725 | $1605 |
| **Institutional Class** | $102 | $340 | $597 | $1331 |

---

**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 fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 of the Fund, the portfolio turnover rate was 23% of the average value of its portfolio.

------

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Small Cap Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the common stocks of small-capitalization companies. The Small Cap Fund defines small-capitalization companies as those companies with market capitalizations not exceeding the highest market capitalization in the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index during the preceding 12 months. As of the last reconstitution date, May 6, 2022, the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index ranged from $240.1 million to $6.4 billion. The Fund may invest any portion of the remaining 20% of its net assets in the equity securities of companies with market capitalizations that may be higher or lower than the range of issuer market capitalizations represented in the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index. The Small Cap Fund may invest in companies across all sectors of the economy, but may favor companies in particular sectors or industries at different times. The Small Cap Fund may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market. The Small Cap Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign equity securities, including through American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") issued by U.S. depository banks, which are traded on U.S. exchanges. The Small Cap Fund may invest in such securities without limit, but such investments are not expected to exceed 20% of the Fund's total assets.

The Advisor may invest the Small Cap Fund's assets in the securities of companies that it believes have a history of growth or that it believes have growth potential. Growth may be measured by factors such as earnings or revenue. The Advisor may invest in the securities of companies with leading competitive positions and management that can achieve sustained growth. Companies with the potential for strong growth may have characteristics such as new products, technologies, distribution channels, strong industry or market positions. Growth stocks may be designated as such and purchased based on the premise that the market will eventually reward a given company's long-term earnings growth with a higher stock price when that company's earnings grow faster than both inflation and the economy in general. In selecting investments for the Fund's portfolio, the Advisor uses fundamental research to evaluate each company, focusing on the company's earnings growth, return on equity, margin stability, and capital management. These and other factors are then weighed against valuation. A stock may be sold, among other reasons, if it has reached a price target, the issuer's fundamental outlook has changed, or a better investment opportunity is available.

**Principal Risks of Investing in the Small Cap Fund**

There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Small Cap Fund. The following risks are considered principal to the Small Cap Fund and could affect the value of your investment in the Fund:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Small and Medium Companies Risk:** Securities of small and medium cap companies may possess comparatively greater price volatility and less liquidity than the securities of companies that have larger market capitalizations and/or that are traded on major stock exchanges.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Growth Style Investment Risk:** Growth stocks may lose value or fall out of favor with investors. Growth stocks may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Equity Securities Risk:** Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than its cost when originally purchased or less than it was worth at an earlier time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Sector-Focus Risk:** Investing a significant portion of the Fund's assets in one sector of the market exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential monetary losses than if those assets were spread among various sectors.

------

The remaining principal risks are presented in alphabetical order. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Small Cap Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• General Market Risk.** Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in the general financial markets, a particular financial market, or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); interest rates; global demand for particular products or resources; natural disasters or events; pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and government controls. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which has resulted in a public health crisis, disruptions to business operations and supply chains, stress on the global healthcare system, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, staffing shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand, and widespread concern and uncertainty. The global recovery from COVID-19 is proceeding at slower than expected rates due to the emergence of variant strains and may last for an extended period of time. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest rates, rising inflation, political events, rising government debt in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Foreign Investment Risk:** Foreign securities involve increased risks due to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as due to differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory practices. When the Fund invests in ADRs as a substitute for an investment directly in the underlying foreign shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the ADRs may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the underlying foreign shares. GDRs generally are subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Large Companies Risk:** Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. Also, large-cap companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Management Risk:** The Fund may not meet its investment objective based on the Advisor's success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.

**Performance Information**

Effective at the close of business on September 15, 2017, the Century Small Cap Select Fund, a series of Century Capital Management Trust (the "Predecessor Fund"), reorganized into the Fund, a series of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the "Reorganization").

**INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES & RISKS**

This Prospectus offers the Retail and Institutional Class Shares of the Congress Mid Cap Growth Fund, Congress Large Cap Growth Fund and Congress Small Cap Growth Fund.

**Investment Objective**

The Mid Cap Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Large Cap Fund and Small Cap Fund each seek long-term capital growth. The investment objective of each Fund is non-fundamental; that is, it can be changed by a vote of the Board of Trustees alone and without a shareholder vote upon at least 60 days' prior written notice to shareholders. The objective and strategies description for each Fund tells you:

**Principal Investment Strategies**

**Congress Mid Cap Growth Fund**

The Mid Cap Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of mid-capitalization companies. The Mid Cap Fund defines mid-capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization, at the time of purchase, are consistent with the market capitalizations of companies in the Russell Midcap Growth<sup>®</sup> Index. As of the last reconstitution date, May 6, 2022, the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap Growth<sup>®</sup> Index ranged from $2.9 billion to $46.5 billion. The Mid Cap Fund may invest any portion of the remaining 20% of its net assets in equity securities of small-capitalization and large-capitalization companies. The Mid Cap Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign equity securities, including through ADRs and GDRs issued by U.S. depository banks, which are traded on U.S. exchanges. The Mid Cap Fund invests in companies that the Advisor believes are experiencing or will experience earnings growth. The Advisor employs a "bottom-up" approach to research and stock selection, which means that the Advisor bases its investments on a company's future prospects and not on any significant economic or market cycle. The Advisor also uses a growth-style approach to selecting securities with a focus on high quality companies. The Advisor's fundamental approach emphasizes earnings growth and free cash flow. For the Mid Cap Fund, the Advisor looks to invest in securities of medium-size companies that it believes are likely to grow more rapidly than the general economy. The Mid Cap Fund may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market. As of October 31, 2022, 31.2% of the Mid Cap Fund's net assets were invested in securities within the information technology sector.

**Congress Large Cap Growth Fund**

Under normal circumstances, the Large Cap Fund will invest at least 80% of net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of large-capitalization companies. The Large Cap Fund defines large-capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization, at the time of purchase, are consistent with the market capitalizations of companies in the Russell 1000 Growth<sup>®</sup> Index. As of the last reconstitution date, May 6, 2022, the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 1000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index ranged from $2.9 billion to $2,545.6 billion. The Large Cap Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets from time to time in equity securities of small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. Equity securities in which the Large Cap Fund may invest include

------

common stock and preferred stock. The Large Cap Fund may also invest up to 20% of the Fund's total assets in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign equity securities, including through ADRs and GDRs issued by U.S. depository banks, which are traded on U.S. exchanges. In attempting to achieve the Large Cap Fund's investment objective, the Advisor adheres to a "bottom-up" strategy, which means that the Advisor chooses the Large Cap Fund's investments based on a company's future prospects and not on any significant economic or market cycle. The Advisor also uses a growth-style approach to selecting securities with a focus on high quality companies. The Advisor's fundamental approach emphasizes growth of earnings and free cash flow. For the Large Cap Fund, the Advisor seeks to create a diversified portfolio for the Large Cap Fund consisting of established companies with the ability to consistently grow earnings over time which it believes will provide superior returns over a full market cycle. The Large Cap Fund may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market. As of October 31, 2022, 37.3% of the Large Cap Fund's net assets were invested in securities within the information technology sector.

**Congress Small Cap Growth Fund**

The Small Cap Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the common stocks of small-capitalization companies. The Small Cap Fund defines small-capitalization companies as those companies with market capitalizations not exceeding the highest market capitalization in the Russell 2000® Growth Index during the preceding 12 months. As of the last reconstitution date, May 6, 2022, the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index ranged from $240.1 million to $6.4 billion. The Small Cap Fund may invest any portion of the remaining 20% of its net assets in the equity securities of companies with market capitalizations that may be higher or lower than the range of issuer market capitalizations represented in the Russell 2000® Growth Index. For purposes of the Small Cap Fund's investment policies, the market capitalization of a company is based on its market capitalization at the time the Small Cap Fund purchases the company's securities. Market capitalizations of companies change over time. The Small Cap Fund may invest in companies across all sectors of the economy, but may favor companies in particular sectors or industries at different times. The Small Cap Fund may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market. The Small Cap Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign equity securities, including through ADRs and GDRs issued by U.S. depository banks, which are traded on U.S. exchanges. The Small Cap Fund may invest in such securities without limit, but such investments are not expected to exceed 20% of the Small Cap Fund's total assets.

The Advisor may invest the Fund's assets in the securities of companies that it believes have a history of growth or that it believes have growth potential. Growth may be measured by factors such as earnings or revenue. The Advisor may invest in the securities of companies with leading competitive positions and management that can achieve sustained growth. Companies with the potential for strong growth may have characteristics such as new products, technologies, distribution channels, strong industry or market positions. Growth stocks may be designated as such and purchased based on the premise that the market will eventually reward a given company's long term earnings growth with a higher stock price when that company's earnings grow faster than both inflation and the economy in general. In selecting investments for the Fund's portfolio, the Advisor uses fundamental research to evaluate each company, focusing on the company's earnings growth, return on equity, margin stability, and capital management. These and other factors are then weighed against valuation. A stock may be sold, among other reasons, if it has reached a price target, the issuer's fundamental outlook has changed, or a better investment opportunity is available.

<u>The Investment Process for the Mid Cap Fund, the Large Cap Fund, and the Small Cap Fund</u>. The positive attributes of diversification are very important, especially in volatile markets. The initial weighting of a position in the Mid Cap Fund, Large Cap Fund and Small Cap Fund may range from 1% to 3% of a Fund's equity portfolio, normally about 2.5%. The Advisor also carefully monitors and limits industry and sector exposure. The process attempts to identify investment opportunities by identifying characteristics that lead to consistent growth such as:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Consistent earnings growth:* The Advisor believes that stock prices react favorably to long term, consistent earnings growth. Earnings growth is the first characteristic the Advisor looks for in security selection.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Superior financial strength:* Manageable debt levels, high returns on equity, low extraordinary charges and transparent balance sheet are all characteristics of the equities in the Advisor's Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap Growth and Small Cap Growth portfolios.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Industry leaders:* The Advisor emphasizes companies that are the leaders in their industry. Industry dominance leads to share growth, and share growth leads to earnings growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Experienced management teams:* Experienced management teams know how to leverage their industry-leading position to build the equity base in good times, and protect equity investors in difficult economic markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *High free cash flow:* High free cash flow is one indicator of a healthy balance sheet and provides tremendous flexibility to management.

The Advisor's equity purchase criteria is a fundamentally driven, bottom-up process that seeks companies which demonstrate consistent earnings growth and potential relative to other companies in their industry, and the market overall. Securities are required to meet strict guidelines before they are approved as an investment for a Fund. They must demonstrate: (1) positive earnings; (2) earnings growth; (3) superior margins relative to competitors; (4) industry leaders; (5) free cash flow and (6) liquidity.

<u>Selling Portfolio Securities of the Mid Cap Fund, Large Cap Fund and Small Cap Fund</u>. The Advisor may sell a security for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fundamental deterioration in the issuer's ability to maintain an acceptable level of earnings growth relative to its financial characteristics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an issuer specific event such as an acquisition or recapitalization that changes the fundamental operations of the company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon comparative analysis, a new security is judged more attractive than a current holding while maintaining the portfolios diversification;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Advisor may trim a stock to ensure appropriate diversification should a stock appreciate substantially from initial purchase; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• realize gains or losses in efforts to improve tax efficiencies for shareholders.

**Temporary Defensive Position.** Generally, the Advisor does not attempt to "time" the market, such as by shifting all or a significant portion of the portfolio in or out of the market in anticipation of or in response to adverse market or other conditions or atypical circumstances such as unusually large cash inflows or redemptions. However, in order to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, each Fund may assume a temporary defensive position by reducing investments in equities and/or increasing investments in short-term fixed income securities. Each Fund may also invest without limit in cash and high quality cash equivalents such as investment grade commercial paper and other money market instruments. During such times, a Fund may not achieve its investment objective to the extent it makes temporary and/or cash investments. A defensive position, taken at the wrong time, may have an adverse impact on a Fund's performance.

------

**Principal Investment Risks**

Before investing in the Funds, you should carefully consider your own investment goals, the amount of time you are willing to leave your money invested and the amount of risk you are willing to take. Remember that in addition to possibly not achieving your investment goals, you could lose money by investing in a Fund. The value of your investment in a Fund will fluctuate with the prices of the securities in which the Fund invests. The principal risks of investing in the Funds are discussed in more detail below in order of relevance to the Funds:

**Small and Medium Companies Risk**. Each Fund may invest in small- and/or medium-sized companies. Because investing in smaller-sized companies may have more risk than investing in larger, more established companies, such an investment by a Fund may have the following additional risks:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The earnings and prospects of small- or medium-sized companies are more volatile than those of larger-sized companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Small- and medium-sized companies may experience higher failure rates than larger-sized companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Analysts and other investors typically follow these companies less actively and information about these companies is not always readily available;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The trading volume of securities of small- and medium-sized companies is normally lower and such securities may be less liquid than those of larger-sized companies, which may disproportionately affect their stock prices, and may cause their stock prices to fall more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger-sized companies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Small- and medium-sized companies may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and may lack management experience, making these companies more susceptible to economic and market setbacks.

For these and other reasons, the security prices of small- and medium-capitalization companies may fluctuate more significantly than the security prices of large-capitalization companies. The smaller the company, the greater effect these risks may have on that company's operations and performance. As a result, such an investment by a Fund may exhibit a higher degree of volatility than the general domestic securities market.

**Large Companies Risk.** Large company stock risk is the risk that stocks of larger companies may underperform relative to those of small and mid-sized companies. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Many larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

**Growth Style Investment Risk.** Growth stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and from other types of stocks. Thus, a growth style investment strategy attempts to identify companies whose earnings may grow or are growing at a faster rate than inflation and the economy. While growth stocks may react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks by rising in price in certain environments, growth stocks also tend to be sensitive to changes in the earnings of their underlying companies and more volatile than other types of stocks, particularly over the short term. During periods of adverse economic and market conditions, the stock prices of growth stocks may fall despite favorable earnings trends.

**Equity Securities Risk.** The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company's financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for a Fund's portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. Equity securities are subject to "stock market risk" meaning that stock prices in general (or in particular, the prices of the types of securities in which a Fund invests) may decline over short or extended periods

------

of time. When the value of a Fund's securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value. If you hold common stocks of any given issuer, you would generally be exposed to greater risk than if you hold preferred stocks or debt obligations of the issuer because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payments from issuers in comparison with the rights of preferred stockholders, bondholders and other creditors of such issuers.

**Sector-Focus Risk.** Each Fund may invest greater than 25% of its assets in one or more of the following sectors: consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, materials, information technology, real estate and communications services. Investing a significant portion of a Fund's assets in one sector of the market exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential monetary losses than if those assets were spread among various sectors. If a Fund's portfolio is overweighted in a certain sector, any negative development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the Fund than a fund that is not overweighted in that sector.

**Information Technology Sector Risk (Mid Cap Fund and Large Cap Fund)*.*** Information technology companies are generally subject to the risks of rapidly changing technologies; short product life cycles; fierce competition; aggressive pricing and reduced profit margins; the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections; cyclical market patterns; evolving industry standards; and frequent new product introductions. Information technology companies may be smaller and less experienced companies, with limited product lines, markets or financial resources and fewer experienced management or marketing personnel. Information technology company stocks, especially those which are internet-related, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to their operating performance.

*The remaining risks are considered "principal risks" of investing in the Funds, regardless of the order in which they appear.* 

**Management Risk.** Management risk describes the Funds' ability to meet their investment objective based on the Advisor's success or failure to implement investment strategies for a Fund. The value of your investment in the Funds is subject to the effectiveness of the Advisor and the Advisor's research, analysis and asset allocation among portfolio securities. If the Advisor's investment strategies do not produce the expected results, your investment could be diminished or even lost.

**General Market Risk.** Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in the general financial markets, a particular financial market, or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); interest rates; global demand for particular products or resources; natural disasters or events; pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and government controls. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which has resulted in a public health crisis, disruptions to business operations and supply chains, stress on the global healthcare system, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, staffing shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand, and widespread concern and uncertainty. The global recovery from COVID-19 is proceeding at slower than expected rates due to the emergence of variant strains and may last for an extended period of time. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest rates, rising inflation, political events, rising government debt in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so.

------

**Foreign Investment Risk.** Foreign securities may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than securities of U.S. companies because a limited number of companies represent a small number of industries. Foreign issuers are not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Also, nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation or political changes could adversely affect a Fund's investments in a foreign company. ADRs do not eliminate all of the risks associated with direct investment in the securities of foreign issuers. Sponsored ADRs are issued with the support of the issuer of the foreign stock underlying the ADRs and carry all of the rights of common shares, including voting rights. The underlying securities of the ADRs in a Fund's portfolio are usually denominated or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As a result, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may affect the value of a Fund's portfolio. In addition, because the underlying securities of ADRs trade on foreign exchanges at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading, the value of the securities underlying the ADRs may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading, regardless of whether there is an active U.S. market for the shares. A Fund's investments in foreign securities may be in the form of depositary receipts, such as GDRs, which are issued by U.S. depository banks and evidence ownership of the underlying securities. GDRs generally are subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. GDRs may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the underlying securities into which they may be converted. Investments in GDRs, involve risks similar to those accompanying direct investments in foreign securities.

**MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS**

**The Advisor**

The Funds have entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") with Congress Asset Management Company, LLP, 2 Seaport Lane, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, under which the Advisor manages each Fund's investments and business affairs subject to the supervision of the Board. The Advisor was founded in 1985, and serves as investment advisor to high net worth individuals and institutions. As of December 31, 2022, the Advisor managed approximately $16.8 billion in assets under advisement. Subject to the general supervision of the Board, the Advisor is responsible for managing each Fund in accordance with its investment objective and policies, and making decisions with respect to, and placing orders for, all purchases and sales of portfolio securities. The Advisor also maintains related records for the Funds.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Mid Cap Fund compensates the Advisor for its investment advisory services at the annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets, payable on a monthly basis. The Large Cap Fund compensates the Advisor for its investment advisory services at the annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets, payable on a monthly basis. The Small Cap Fund compensates the Advisor for its investment advisory services at the annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund's average daily net assets, payable on a monthly basis. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Advisor was paid an effective rate of 0.50% from the Large Cap Fund. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Advisor was paid an effective rate of 0.60% from the Mid Cap Fund. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Advisor was paid an effective rate of 0.75% from the Small Cap Fund.

A discussion regarding the basis of the Board's approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor is available in the Funds' <u>[annual report](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/811030/000089853123000012/cf-ncsra.htm)</u> to shareholders for the year ended October 31, 2022.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay Fund expenses to ensure that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, interest expense in connection with investment activities, taxes and extraordinary expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees and any other class-specific expenses) will not exceed the amounts shown below as a percentage of each Fund's average daily net assets (the "Expense Cap").

| ***Fund*** | ***Expense Cap*** |
| **Mid Cap Fund** | 0.85% |
| **Large Cap Fund** | 0.95% |
| **Small Cap Fund** | 1.00% |

---

Any reduction in advisory fees or payment of expenses made by the Advisor is subject to reimbursement by the Funds if requested by the Advisor, and the Board approves such reimbursement. The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed for fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three years from the date the fees were waived and/or expenses paid. This reimbursement may be requested, if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Funds toward operating expenses for such period (taking into account any reimbursement) does not exceed the lesser of the Expense Cap in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement. The Funds must pay their current ordinary operating expenses before the Advisor is entitled to any reimbursement of fees and/or expenses. The Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Board of Trustees upon 60 days' written notice to the Advisor, or by the Advisor with the consent of the Board.

**Special Instructions for Institutional Class Shares**

Each of the Funds offers Institutional Class shares primarily for direct investment by investors such as pension and profit-sharing plans, employee benefit trusts, endowments, foundations and corporations. Institutional Class shares may also be offered through financial intermediaries that charge their customers transaction or other distribution or service fees with respect to their customers' investments in the Funds. If you are purchasing shares through a financial intermediary, you must follow the procedures established by your financial intermediary. Your financial intermediary is responsible for sending your purchase order and wiring payment to the Transfer Agent. Your financial intermediary holds the shares in your name and receives all confirmations of purchases and sales. Financial intermediaries placing orders for themselves or on behalf of their customers should call the Funds toll free at 1-888-688-1299, or follow the instructions under "Purchase By Mail," "Purchase By Telephone" and "Purchase By Wire."

As indicated in the table above, the minimum initial investment for Institutional Class shares may be waived or reduced by the Advisor at any time. Additionally, the Advisor may aggregate accounts together in order to meet the investment minimum.

**General Information**

You may purchase or sell (redeem) the Funds' shares at the net asset value of a share ("NAV"), next calculated after the Transfer Agent receives your request in good order (as described below under "How to Buy Shares"). For instance, if the Transfer Agent receives your purchase request in good order after 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, your transaction will be priced at the next business day's NAV. The Funds cannot accept orders that request a particular day or price for the transaction or any other special conditions.

**When and How NAV is Determined**

The Funds calculate their NAV as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each weekday except days when the NYSE is closed. The time at which the NAV is calculated may change in case of an emergency. For more information, please see "NYSE Holiday Schedule" below.

Each of the Funds' NAV is determined by taking the market value of each Fund's total assets, subtracting each Fund's liabilities and then dividing the result (net assets) by the number of the corresponding Fund's shares outstanding.

Each Fund values securities for which market quotations are readily available at current market value other than certain short-term securities. Exchange-traded securities for which market quotations are

------

readily available are valued using the last reported sales price provided by independent pricing services as of the close of trading on the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each Fund's business day. In the absence of sales, such securities are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price. Non-exchange-traded securities for which quotations are readily available are generally valued at the mean between the current bid and asked price. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their NAV. The net asset value of each Fund's shares may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem the Fund's shares.

Each of the Funds values securities at fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Advisor and approved by the Board if market quotations are not readily available or the Advisor believes that the prices or values available are unreliable. The Board has designated the Advisor as its "valuation designee" under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, subject to its oversight. Market quotations may not be readily available or may be unreliable if, among other things: (1) the exchange on which the Funds' portfolio security is principally traded closes early; (2) trading in a particular portfolio security was halted during the day and did not resume prior to the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAV; or (3) events occur after the close of the securities markets on which the Funds' portfolio securities primarily trade but before the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAV.

Fair value pricing is based on subjective factors and as a result, the fair value price of a security may differ from the security's market price and may not be the price at which the security may be sold. Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV determined by using market quotes.

***NYSE Holiday Schedule.*** The NYSE is open every day, Monday through Friday, except when the following holidays are celebrated: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (the third Monday in January), President's Day (the third Monday in February), Good Friday, Memorial Day (the last Monday in May), Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day (the first Monday in September), Thanksgiving Day (the fourth Thursday in November), and Christmas Day. Exchange holiday schedules are subject to change without notice. The NYSE may close early on the day before each of these holidays and the day after Thanksgiving Day.

To the extent that each Fund's portfolio investments trade in markets on days when the Funds are not open for business, the Funds' assets may vary on those days. In addition, trading in certain portfolio investments may not occur on days the Funds are open for business. If the exchange or market on which the Funds' underlying investments are primarily traded closes early, the NAV may be calculated prior to its normal calculation time. For example, the primary trading markets for the Funds may close early on the day before certain holidays and the day after Thanksgiving.

**How to Buy Shares**

You may purchase shares of the Funds by completing an account application. Your order will not be accepted until the completed account application is received by the Transfer Agent. Shares are purchased at the NAV next determined after the Transfer Agent receives your order in good order. "Good order" means your purchase request includes: (1) the name of the Fund, (2) the dollar amount of shares to be purchased, (3) your purchase application or investment stub, and (4) a check payable to "Name of Appropriate Fund." Account applications will not be accepted unless they are accompanied by payment in U.S. dollars, drawn on a domestic (United States) financial institution. If your payment is returned for any reason, a $25 fee will be assessed against your account. You will also be responsible for any losses suffered by the Funds as a result. The Funds do not issue share certificates. The Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase in whole or in part. The Funds and the Advisor also reserve the right to accept in-kind contributions of securities in exchange for shares of the Funds.

The Funds will not accept payment in cash or money orders. To prevent check fraud, the Funds do not accept third party checks, U.S. Treasury checks, credit card checks, traveler's checks or starter checks for the purchase of shares. The Funds are unable to accept post-dated checks or any conditional order or payment.

------

***Minimum Investments.*** To purchase shares of the Funds, you must make a minimum initial investment for each applicable class as listed in the table in the section entitled "SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION-Description of Classes." The minimum investment requirements may be waived from time to time.

**Checks** For all accounts, including individual, sole proprietorship, joint, Uniform Gifts to Minors Act ("UGMA") or Uniform Transfers to Minors Act ("UTMA") accounts, the check must be made payable to "Congress Funds." A $25 charge may be imposed on any returned checks.

**ACH** Refers to the "Automated Clearing House" System maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank, which allows banks to process checks, transfer funds and perform other tasks. Your financial institution may charge you a fee for this service.

**Wires** Instruct your financial institution with whom you have an account to make a Federal Funds wire payment to us. Your financial institution may charge you a fee for this service.

In compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, please note that the Transfer Agent will verify certain information on your account application as part of the Funds' Anti-Money Laundering Program. As requested on the account application, you must supply your full name, date of birth, social security number and permanent street address. If you are opening the account in the name of a legal entity, (*e.g.*, partnership, limited liability company, business trust, corporation, etc.) you must also supply the identity of the beneficial owners. Mailing addresses containing only a P.O. Box will not be accepted. Please contact the Transfer Agent at 1-888-688-1299, if you need additional assistance when completing your account application.

If the Funds do not have a reasonable belief of the identity of a shareholder, the account application will be rejected or you will not be allowed to perform a transaction on the account until such information is received. In the rare event that the Transfer Agent is unable to verify your identity, the Fund reserves the right to redeem your account at the current day's net asset value.

Shares of the Funds have not been registered for sale outside of the United States. The Funds generally do not sell shares to investors residing outside the United States, even if they are United States citizens or lawful permanent residents, except to investors with United States military APO or FPO addresses.

***Purchasing By Mail.*** To purchase the Funds' shares by mail, complete and sign the account application and mail it, along with a check made payable to the applicable Fund to:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Regular Mail**<br>*Congress Funds*<br>c/o U.S. Bank Global Fund Services<br>P.O. Box 701<br>Milwaukee, WI 53201-0701 | **Overnight or Express Mail**<br>*Congress Funds*<br>c/o U.S. Bank Global Fund Services<br>615 East Michigan Street, 3rd Floor<br>Milwaukee, WI 53202-5207 |

---

*The Funds do not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery services to be its agents. Therefore, deposit in the mail or with such services, or receipt at the Transfer Agent's post office box of purchase orders or redemption requests, does not constitute receipt by the Transfer Agent. Receipt of purchase orders is based on when the order is received at the Transfer Agent's offices.* 

If you are making a subsequent purchase, detach the Invest By Mail form that is attached to the confirmation statement you will receive after each transaction and mail it with a check made payable to the "Congress Funds" in the envelope provided with your statement or to the address noted above. You should write your account number on the check. If you do not have the Invest By Mail form from your confirmation statement, include your name, address and account number on a separate piece of paper.

------

***Purchasing By Telephone.*** If your completed and signed account application has been received by a Fund and your account has been open for at least 7 business days, you may purchase additional shares by telephoning the Funds toll free at 1-888-688-1299 (unless you declined telephone purchase privileges on your account application). Telephone orders will be accepted via electronic funds transfer from your pre-designated bank account through the ACH network. You must have banking information established on your account prior to making a purchase by telephone. Only bank accounts held at domestic institutions that are ACH members may be used for telephone transactions. If your order is received prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, shares will be purchased at the NAV next calculated. For security reasons, requests by telephone may be recorded. Once a telephone transaction has been placed, it cannot be cancelled or modified after the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). During periods of high market activity, you may encounter higher than usual wait times. Please allow sufficient time to ensure that you will be able to complete your telephone transaction prior to market close. If you are unable to contact the Funds by telephone, you may make your request in writing.

***Purchasing By Wire.***

***Initial Investment.*** If you are making your first investment in the Funds, before you wire funds, please contact the Transfer Agent by phone to make arrangements with a telephone service representative to submit your completed account application via mail, overnight delivery or facsimile. Upon receipt of your completed account application, your account will be established and a service representative will contact you to provide your new account number and wiring instructions. If you do not receive this information within one business day, you may call the Transfer Agent at 1-888-688-1299.

Once your account has been established, you may instruct your bank to initiate the wire using the instructions you were given. Prior to sending the wire, please call the Transfer Agent at 1-888-688-1299 to advise of your wire to ensure proper credit upon receipt. Your bank must include the name of the Funds, your name and account number so that your wire can be correctly applied.

***Subsequent Investments.*** If you are making a subsequent purchase, your bank should wire funds as indicated below. Before each wire purchase, you should be sure to notify the Transfer Agent at 1-888-688-1299 to advise them of your intent to wire funds. *It is essential that your bank include the name of the Fund(s) and your name and account number in all wire instructions.* Your bank may charge you a fee for sending a wire to the Funds.

Your bank should transmit immediately available funds by wire in your name to:

U.S. Bank N.A.

777 E. Wisconsin Avenue

Milwaukee, WI 53202

ABA Routing Number 075000022

For credit to U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC

DDA #112-952-137

For further credit to:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Congress Funds

Shareholder Registration

Shareholder Account Number

Wired funds must be received prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, to be eligible for same day pricing. Neither the Funds nor U.S. Bank N.A. are responsible for the consequences of delays resulting from the banking or Federal Reserve wire system or from incomplete wiring instructions. If you have questions about how to invest by wire, you may call the Funds at 1-888-688-1299.

***Purchasing Through Financial Intermediaries.*** You may buy and sell shares of the Funds through certain financial intermediaries and their agents that have made arrangements with the Funds and are authorized to buy and sell shares of the Funds (collectively, "Financial Intermediaries"). Financial

------

Intermediaries may have different investment minimum requirements than those outlined in this prospectus. Additionally, Financial Intermediaries may aggregate several customer accounts to accumulate the requisite initial investment minimum. Please consult your Financial Intermediary for their account policies. Your order will be priced at each Fund's NAV next computed after it is received by a Financial Intermediary and accepted by the Funds. A Financial Intermediary may hold your shares in an omnibus account in the Financial Intermediary's name and the Financial Intermediary may maintain your individual ownership records. The Funds may pay the Financial Intermediary for maintaining individual ownership records as well as providing other shareholder services. Financial Intermediaries may charge fees for the services they provide to you in connection with processing your transaction order or maintaining your account with them. Financial Intermediaries are responsible for placing your order correctly and promptly with the Funds, forwarding payment promptly, as well as ensuring that you receive copies of the Funds' Prospectus. If you transmit your order with these Financial Intermediaries before the close of regular trading (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on a day that the NYSE is open for business, your order will be priced at the Funds' NAV next computed after it is received by the Financial Intermediary. The Funds will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an authorized broker or, if applicable, a broker's authorized designee, receives the order. Investors should check with their Financial Intermediary to determine if it is subject to these arrangements.

***Purchasing Through the Automatic Investment Plan.*** Subsequent Investments. For your convenience, each of the Funds offers an Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP"). Under this AIP, after your initial minimum investment, you authorize the Funds to withdraw from your personal checking or savings account each month an amount that you wish to invest, which must be at least $250. If you wish to enroll in the AIP, complete the appropriate section on the Account application. Your signed Account application must be received at least 7 business days prior to the initial transaction. A $25 fee will be imposed if your AIP transaction is returned for any reason. The Funds may terminate or modify this privilege at any time. You may terminate your participation in the AIP at any time by notifying the Transfer Agent sufficiently in advance of the next withdrawal. Please contact your financial institution to determine if it is an ACH member. Your financial institution must be an ACH member in order for you to participate in the AIP.

The AIP is a method of using dollar cost averaging as an investment strategy that involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular time intervals. However, a program of regular investment cannot ensure a profit or protect against a loss as a result of declining markets. By continually investing the same amount, you will be purchasing more shares when the price is low and fewer shares when the price is high. Please call 1-888-688-1299 for additional information regarding a Fund's AIP.

***Retirement Plans.*** The Funds offer IRA plans. You may obtain information about opening an IRA by calling 1-888-688-1299. If you wish to open a Keogh, Section 403(b) or other retirement plan, please contact your Financial Intermediary.

**How to Sell Shares**

In general, orders to sell or "redeem" shares can be placed directly with the Funds; however, if you purchased your shares through a Financial Intermediary, your redemption order must be placed with that same authorized intermediary. You may redeem part or all of your shares at the next determined NAV after the Funds receive your order. You should request your redemption prior to the close of the NYSE, generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, to obtain that day's closing NAV. Redemption requests received after the close of the NYSE will be treated as though received on the next business day.

***By Mail.*** You may redeem your shares by simply sending in a written request to the Transfer Agent. You should give your account number and state whether you want all or some of your shares redeemed. The letter should be signed by all of the shareholders whose names appear on the account registration and, if necessary, should include a signature guarantee(s). No redemption request will become effective until all documents have been received in good order by the Transfer Agent. "Good order" means your redemption request includes: (1) the name of the Fund, (2) the number of shares or dollar amount to be

------

redeemed, (3) the account number and (4) signatures by all of the shareholders whose names appear on the account registration. Additional documents are required for certain types of shareholders, such as corporations, partnerships, executors, trustees, administrators, or guardians (*i.e.*, corporate resolutions, or trust documents indicating proper authorization). Shareholders should contact the Transfer Agent at 1-888-688-1299 for further information concerning documentation required for a redemption of Fund shares.

Shareholders who have an IRA or other retirement plan must indicate on their written redemption request whether to withhold federal income tax. Redemption requests failing to indicate an election not to have tax withheld will generally be subject to a 10% withholding tax. Shares held in IRA and other retirement accounts may be redeemed by telephone at 1-888-688-1299. Investors will be asked whether or not to withhold taxes from any distribution.

Redemption requests in writing should be sent to:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Regular Mail**<br>*Congress Funds* <br>c/o U.S. Bank Global Fund Services<br>P.O. Box 701<br>Milwaukee, WI 53201-0701 | **Overnight or Express Mail**<br>*Congress Funds*<br>c/o U.S. Bank Global Fund Services<br>615 East Michigan Street, 3rd Floor<br>Milwaukee, WI 53202-5207 |

---

*The Funds do not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery services to be its agents. Therefore, deposit in the mail or with such services, or receipt at the Transfer Agent's post office box of purchase orders or redemption requests, does not constitute receipt by the Transfer Agent. Receipt of redemption requests is based on when the request is received at the Transfer Agent's offices.*

***By Telephone and Wire.*** You may redeem Fund shares unless you declined telephone redemption privileges on your account application. You may make your redemption request in writing.

You may redeem up to $100,000 in shares by calling the Funds at 1-888-688-1299 prior to the close of trading on the NYSE, generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Redemption proceeds will be sent via check on the next business day to the address of record on your account. Per your request, redemption proceeds may be wired (minimum of $5,000) or may be sent via electronic funds transfer through the ACH network, to your pre-designated bank account. There is a $15 wire charge per wire which will be deducted from your account balance on dollar specific trades or from the proceeds on complete redemptions and share specific trades. There is no charge for proceeds sent via the ACH network; however, most ACH transfers require two to three days for the bank account to receive credit. Telephone redemptions cannot be made if you notify the Transfer Agent of a change of address within 30 days before the redemption request. If an account has more than one owner or authorized person, the Fund will accept telephone instructions from any one owner or authorized person. Once a telephone transaction has been placed, it cannot be cancelled or modified after the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). During periods of high market activity, you may encounter higher than usual wait times. Please allow sufficient time to ensure that you will be able to complete your telephone transaction prior to market close. If you are unable to contact the Funds by telephone, you may make your request in writing.

Before executing an instruction received by telephone, the Transfer Agent will use reasonable procedures to confirm that the telephone instructions are genuine. The telephone call may be recorded and the caller may be asked to verify certain personal identification information. If the Funds or its agents follow these procedures, they cannot be held liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any telephone redemption request that is reasonably believed to be genuine. This includes fraudulent or unauthorized requests. The Funds may change, modify or terminate these telephone redemption privileges at any time upon at least 60 days' written notice to shareholders.

------

***Through Financial Intermediaries.*** You may redeem Fund shares through your Financial Intermediary. Redemptions made through a Financial Intermediary may be subject to procedures established by that institution. Your Financial Intermediary is responsible for sending your order to the Funds and for crediting your account with the proceeds. For redemptions through Financial Intermediaries, orders will be processed at the NAV next effective after receipt of the order by a Financial Intermediary. Please keep in mind that your Financial Intermediary may charge additional fees for its services.

***Through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan.*** As another convenience, you may redeem Fund shares through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan ("SWP"), if you own shares with a value of at least $10,000. Under the SWP, shareholders or their Financial Intermediaries may request that a predetermined amount be sent to them each month, each quarter or annually. If you elect this method of redemption, the minimum amount that may be withdrawn each month is $250. If you elect this method of redemption, the Funds will send a check directly to your address of record, or will send the payments directly to a pre-authorized bank account by electronic funds transfer via the ACH network. For payment through the ACH network, your bank must be an ACH member and your bank account information must be maintained on your Fund account. This SWP may be terminated or modified by a shareholder or the Funds at any time without charge or penalty. You may also elect to terminate your participation in this SWP at any time by contacting the Transfer Agent sufficiently in advance of the next withdrawal.

A withdrawal under the SWP involves a redemption of the Funds' shares, and may result in a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. In addition, if the amount withdrawn exceeds the dividends credited to your account, the account ultimately may be depleted. To establish the SWP, complete the "Systematic Withdrawal Plan" section of the Funds' account application. Please call 1-888-688-1299 for additional information regarding a Fund's SWP.

**Account and Transaction Policies**

***Fund Rights.*** The Funds may temporarily suspend (during unusual market conditions) or discontinue any service or privilege, including automatic investments, systematic withdrawals and wire redemption privileges.

***Timing of Receiving Redemption Proceeds.***

The Funds typically send redemption proceeds on the next business day (a day when the NYSE is open for normal business) after the redemption request is received in good order and prior to market close, regardless of whether the redemption proceeds are sent via check, wire, or automated clearing house (ACH) transfer. Under unusual circumstances, the Funds may suspend redemptions, or postpone payment for up to seven days, as permitted by federal securities law.

The Funds typically expect that they will hold cash or cash equivalents to meet redemption requests. The Funds may also use the proceeds from the sale of portfolio securities to meet redemption requests if consistent with the management of the Funds. In situations in which investment holdings in cash or cash equivalents are not sufficient to meet redemption requests or when the sale of portfolio securities is not sufficient to meet redemption requests, the Funds will typically borrow money through their respective lines of credit. These redemption methods will be used regularly and may also be used in stressed market conditions. The Funds reserve the right to pay redemption proceeds to you in whole or in part through a redemption in-kind as described under "Redemptions In-Kind" below. Redemptions in-kind are typically used to meet redemption requests that are a large percentage of a Fund's net assets in order to minimize the effect of large redemptions on the Fund and its remaining shareholders. Redemptions in-kind may be used regularly in such circumstances and may also be used in stressed market conditions.

Before selling recently purchased shares, please note that if the Transfer Agent has not yet collected payment for the shares you are selling, it may delay sending the proceeds until the payment is collected, which may take up to 15 calendar days from the purchase date. Shareholders can avoid this delay by utilizing the wire purchase option. Furthermore, there are certain times when you may be unable to sell

------

Fund shares or receive proceeds. Specifically, the Funds may suspend the right to redeem shares or postpone the date of payment upon redemption for more than three business days (1) for any period during which the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend or holiday closings) or trading on the NYSE is restricted; (2) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Funds of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets; or (3) for such other periods as the SEC may permit for the protection of the Funds' shareholders.

Redemption requests will be sent to the address of record. The Funds will not be responsible for interest lost on redemption amounts due to lost or misdirected mail. If the proceeds of redemption are requested to be sent to an address other than the address of record, or if the address of record has been changed within 30 days of the redemption request, the request must be in writing with your signature guaranteed.

***Redemptions In-Kind.*** The Funds reserve the right to pay redemption proceeds to you in whole or in part by a distribution of securities from a Fund's portfolio (a "redemption in-kind"). It is not expected that the Funds would do so except during unusual market conditions or if the redemption amount is large enough to affect the Funds' operations (*e.g.*, if it represents more than 1% of the Funds' assets). If the Funds pay your redemption proceeds by a distribution of securities, you could incur brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash and will bear any market risks associated with such securities until they are converted into cash. A redemption in-kind is treated as a taxable transaction and a sale of the redeemed shares, generally resulting in capital gain or loss to you, subject to certain loss limitation rules.

***Tools to Combat Frequent Transactions.*** The Board has adopted a policy regarding excessive trading. The Funds discourage excessive, short-term trading and other abusive trading practices that may disrupt portfolio management strategies and harm performance. The Funds take steps to reduce the frequency and effect of these activities in the Funds. These steps may include, among other things, monitoring trading activity, or using fair value pricing when appropriate, under procedures as adopted by the Advisor, when the Advisor determines current market prices are not readily available. As approved by the Board, these techniques may change from time to time as determined by the Funds in their sole discretion.

In an effort to discourage abusive trading practices and minimize harm to the Funds and their shareholders, each Fund reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any purchase order or exchange request, in whole or in part, for any reason (including, without limitation, purchases by persons whose trading activity in the Funds' shares are believed by the Advisor to be harmful to the Funds) and without prior notice. The Funds may decide to restrict purchase and sale activity in their shares based on various factors, including whether frequent purchase and sale activity will disrupt portfolio management strategies and adversely affect the Funds' performance or whether the shareholder has conducted four round trip transactions within a 12-month period. Although these efforts are designed to discourage abusive trading practices, these tools cannot eliminate the possibility that such activity will occur. The Funds seek to exercise their judgment in implementing these tools to the best of their ability in a manner that they believe is consistent with shareholder interests. Except as noted in the Prospectus, the Funds apply all restrictions uniformly in all applicable cases.

Due to the complexity and subjectivity involved in identifying abusive trading activity and the volume of shareholder transactions the Funds handle, there can be no assurance that the Funds' efforts will identify all trades or trading practices that may be considered abusive. In particular, since the Funds receive purchase and sale orders through Financial Intermediaries that use group or omnibus accounts, the Funds cannot always detect frequent trading. However, the Funds will work with Financial Intermediaries as necessary to discourage shareholders from engaging in abusive trading practices and to impose restrictions on excessive trades. In this regard, the Funds have entered into information sharing agreements with Financial Intermediaries pursuant to which these intermediaries are required to provide to the Funds, at their request, certain information relating to their customers investing in the Funds through non-disclosed or omnibus accounts. The Funds will use this information to attempt to identify abusive trading practices. Financial Intermediaries are contractually required to follow any instructions

------

from the Funds to restrict or prohibit future purchases from shareholders that are found to have engaged in abusive trading in violation of the Funds' policies. However, the Funds cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided to them from Financial Intermediaries and cannot ensure that they will always be able to detect abusive trading practices that occur through non-disclosed and omnibus accounts. As a consequence, the Funds' ability to monitor and discourage abusive trading practices in omnibus accounts may be limited.

***Signature Guarantees.*** The Funds and/or Transfer Agent may require a *signature guarantee* for certain requests. A signature guarantee assures that your signature is genuine and protects you from unauthorized transactions.

A signature guarantee, from either a Medallion program member or a non-Medallion program member, of each owner is required in the following situations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For all redemption requests in excess of $100,000;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• When a redemption request is received by the Transfer Agent and the account address has changed within the last 30 calendar days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• When ownership is being changed on your account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• When redemption proceeds are payable or sent to any person, address or bank account not on record.

Non-financial transactions including establishing or modifying certain services on an account may require a signature guarantee, signature verification from a Signature Validation Program member, or other acceptable form of authentication from a financial institution source.

In addition to the situations described above, the Funds and/or Transfer Agent may require a signature guarantee in other instances based on the circumstances relative to the particular situation. Signature guarantees will generally be accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations, as well as from participants in the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program and the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program ("STAMP"). *A notary public is not an acceptable signature guarantor.* The Advisor reserves the right to waive any signature requirement at its discretion.

***Low Balance Accounts.*** The Funds may redeem the shares in your account and send you the proceeds if the value of your account is less than $1,000 ($500 for IRAs) as a result of redemptions you have made. You will be notified that the value of your account is less than the amount mentioned above before the Funds make an involuntary redemption. You will then have 60 days in which to make an additional investment to bring the value of your account to at least $1,000 ($500 for IRAs) before the Funds take any action.

***Householding.*** In an effort to conserve resources, the Fund intends to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses, supplements, and certain other shareholder documents you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts. Call toll free at 1-888-688-1299 to request individual copies of documents; if your shares are held through a Financial Intermediary, please contact them directly. The Fund will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request. This policy does not apply to account statements.

***Unclaimed Property/Lost Shareholder.*** It is important that the Funds maintain a correct address for each investor. An incorrect address may cause an investor's account statements and other mailings to be returned to the Funds. Based upon statutory requirements for returned mail, the Funds will attempt to locate the investor or rightful owner of the account. If the Funds are unable to locate the investor, then they will determine whether the investor's account can legally be considered abandoned. Your mutual fund account may be transferred to your state of residence if no activity occurs within your account

------

during the "inactivity period" specified in your state's abandoned property laws. The Funds are legally obligated to escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate state's unclaimed property administrator in accordance with statutory requirements. The investor's last known address of record determines which state has jurisdiction. Please proactively contact the Transfer Agent toll free at 1-888-688-1299 at least annually to ensure your account remains in active status.

If you are a resident of the state of Texas, you may designate a representative to receive notifications that, due to inactivity, your mutual fund account assets may be delivered to the Texas Comptroller. Please contact the Transfer Agent if you wish to complete a Texas Designation of Representative form.

***Exchanging Shares.*** You may exchange all or a portion of your investment, from one Congress Fund to any other Congress Fund, by mail or telephone provided you established telephone exchange privileges on your account application. Any new account established through an exchange will be subject to a minimum investment requirement described above. In addition, existing accounts are subject to a minimum exchange requirement of $50. Exchanges will be executed on the basis of the relative NAV of the shares exchanged. An exchange is considered to be a sale of shares for federal income tax purposes on which you may realize a taxable gain or loss. You may make exchanges only between identically registered accounts (name(s), address and taxpayer ID number) and within the same share class. This exchange privilege may be terminated or modified by a Fund at any time upon a 60-day notice to shareholders. Call the Funds at 1-888-688-1299 to learn more about exchanges.

**RULE 12B-1 AND OTHER SERVICE FEES**

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Retail Class shares of the Funds. Under the Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay the distributor a fee for the sale and distribution of each Fund's Retail Class shares and services it provides to shareholders. The maximum amount of the fee authorized is up to 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets annually. Because these fees are paid out of each Fund's Retail Class share's assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment in the Fund's shares and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

In addition to paying fees under the Plan, each Fund may pay service fees to Financial Intermediaries such as banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors or other financial institutions, including affiliates of the Advisor, for sub-administration, sub-transfer agency and other shareholder services associated with shareholders whose shares are held of record in omnibus, other group accounts or accounts traded through registered securities clearing agents.

The Funds have policies and procedures in place for the monitoring of payments to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries for distribution-related activities and the following non-distribution activities: sub-transfer agent, administrative, and other shareholder servicing services.

The Advisor or distributor, out of its own resources, and without additional cost to the Funds or their shareholders, may provide additional cash payments or non-cash compensation to Financial Intermediaries who sell shares of the Funds, including affiliates of the Advisor. Such payments and compensation are in addition to the sales charges (including Rule 12b-1 fees) and service fees paid by the Funds. These additional cash payments are generally made to Financial Intermediaries that provide shareholder servicing, marketing support and/or access to sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives of the Financial Intermediary. Cash compensation may also be paid to Financial Intermediaries for inclusion of the Funds on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list, in other sales programs or as an expense reimbursement in cases where the Financial Intermediary provides shareholder services to the Funds' shareholders. The Advisor or distributor may also pay cash compensation in the form of finder's fees that vary depending on the dollar amount of the shares sold.

**DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES**

**Dividends and Distributions**

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net capital gains from the sale of securities are distributed at least annually. Net investment income generally consists of interest income and dividends received on investments, less expenses.

The Funds typically distribute any undistributed net investment income each December. Any net capital gains realized through the period ended October 31 of each year also are typically distributed by December 31 of each year. A Fund may make an additional payment of dividends or distributions if needed to meet certain Internal Revenue Code requirements at another time during the year.

All distributions will be reinvested in Fund shares unless you choose one of the following options: (1) receive dividends in cash, while reinvesting capital gain distributions in additional Fund shares; (2) reinvest dividends in additional Fund shares and receive capital gain distributions in cash; or (3) receive all dividends and capital gain distributions in cash. If you wish to change your distribution option, call or write to the Transfer Agent in advance of the record date of the distribution. If you elect to receive dividends and/or capital gains paid in cash, and the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your check, or if a check remains uncashed for six months, the Funds reserve the right to reinvest the distribution check in your account at the Funds' then current net asset value and to reinvest all subsequent distributions. Distributions made by the Funds will be taxable to shareholders whether received in additional shares or in cash.

**Tax Consequences**

Each Fund has elected and intends to continue to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As regulated investment companies, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax if they distribute their income as required by the tax law and satisfy certain other requirements that are described in the SAI. The Funds generally operate in a manner such that they will not be liable for federal income or excise taxes on their taxable income and capital gains distributed to shareholders.

The Funds intend to make distributions of dividends and capital gains. In general, Fund distributions are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income or qualified dividend income, which is subject to a maximum federal income tax rate of 20%. The rate of tax you pay on capital gain distributions will depend on how long the Funds held the securities that generated the gains, not on how long you owned your Fund shares. There is no requirement that the Funds take into consideration any tax implications when implementing their strategy. You will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive your dividends and capital gain distributions in cash or reinvest them in additional Fund shares. Shareholders should note that the Funds may make taxable distributions of income and capital gains even when share values have declined.

Dividends declared by the Funds in October, November or December to shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month and paid in January will be treated as paid in December of the previous year for tax purposes.

All distributions generally reduce the NAV of the Funds' shares by the amount of the distribution. If you purchase shares prior to a distribution, the distribution will be taxable to you even though economically it may represent a return of your investment.

Sale of your Fund shares is a taxable event for you. You generally will have a taxable gain or loss on the sale, with the amount determined by comparing the sale price of the shares you sell to your adjusted tax basis at the time of such sale, which generally will be your purchase price with certain adjustments. You are responsible for paying any tax liabilities generated by your transaction.

------

By law, the Funds must withhold as backup withholding a percentage (currently 24%) of your taxable distributions and redemption proceeds if you do not provide your correct Social Security or taxpayer identification number and certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or if the Internal Revenue Service instructs the Funds to do so.

Non-corporate shareholders whose adjusted gross income for a year exceeds $200,000 for single filers or $250,000 for married joint filers generally are subject to a 3.8% Medicare surtax on dividends and capital gains.

This advice was prepared for the Funds. State, local and foreign taxes may also apply. Any person reviewing this discussion should seek advice based on their particular tax situation from an independent tax advisor. Additional information concerning the taxation of the Funds and their shareholders is contained in the SAI.

**THE TRUST**

The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust organized on February 24, 1987 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an open-end management investment company. Prior to May 1991, the Trust was known as the Avondale Investment Trust. The Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Declaration of Trust") permits the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, without par value, which may be issued in any number of series. The Trust consists of various series that represent separate investment portfolios. The Board may, from time to time, issue other series, the assets and liabilities of which will be separate and distinct from any other series. This SAI relates only to the Funds.

The shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for its obligations. However, the Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Trust.

The Declaration of Trust also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out of the Funds' assets for any shareholder held personally liable for obligations of the Funds or the Trust. The Declaration of Trust provides that the Trust shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the Funds or the Trust and satisfy any judgment thereon. All such rights are limited to the assets of the Funds. The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trust may maintain appropriate insurance (for example, fidelity bonding and errors and omissions insurance) for the protection of the Trust, its shareholders, trustees, officers, employees and agents to cover possible tort and other liabilities. However, the activities of the Trust as an investment company would not likely give rise to liabilities in excess of the Trust's total assets. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which both inadequate insurance exists and the Funds themselves are unable to meet its obligations.

Retail and Institutional Class shares of the Mid Cap Fund commenced operations on October 31, 2012.

Retail Shares of the Large Cap Fund commenced operations on March 31, 2009. Prior to April 30, 2010, the Large Cap Fund's Retail Shares were an unnamed class of shares. Institutional Shares of the Large Cap Fund commenced operations on April 30, 2010. Prior to April 30, 2012, Retail Shares were known as Class R Shares and Institutional Shares were known as Class I Shares. The Accounting Survivor commenced operations in March 1928. As of the date of the Reorganization, the Accounting Survivor did not have any Retail Class shares outstanding.

The Century Small Cap Select Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") was organized as a diversified series of Century Capital Management Trust in August 1999, with the Institutional Class commencing operations on December 9, 1999 and the Investor Class commencing operations on February 24, 2000. Effective at the close of business on September 15, 2017, the Predecessor Fund reorganized into a newly formed series of the Trust named the Congress Small Cap Growth Fund. The Predecessor Fund's Institutional Class reorganized into the Small Cap Fund's Institutional Class and the Predecessor Fund's Investor Class reorganized into the Small Cap Fund's Retail Class. The Predecessor Fund's fiscal year was from November 1 to October 31.

The Funds do not hold themselves out as related to any other series within the Trust for purposes of investment and investor services, nor do they share the same investment advisor with any other series of the Trust. Effective September 15, 2017, the Mid Cap Fund and the Large Cap Fund changed their fiscal years to commence on November 1 and end on October 31, each year. The Small Cap Fund's fiscal year is from November 1 to October 31. The Funds' Prospectus and this SAI are a part of the Trust's Registration Statement filed with the SEC. Copies of the Trust's complete Registration Statement may be obtained from the SEC upon payment of the prescribed fee or may be accessed free of charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

**INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS**

The Funds are diversified. This means that as to 75% of its total assets, a Fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of a single issuer or hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer. Under applicable federal securities laws, the diversification of a mutual fund's holdings is measured at the time a Fund purchases a security. If a Fund purchases a security and holds it for a period of time, the security may become a larger percentage of the Fund's total assets due to movements in the financial markets. If the market affects several securities held by a Fund, that Fund may have a greater percentage of its assets invested in securities of fewer issuers. The Fund would then be subject to the risk that its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of relatively few securities despite the Fund qualifying as a diversified fund under applicable federal securities laws.

All percentage limitations on investments will apply at the time of investment and will not be considered violated unless an excess or deficiency occurs or exists immediately after and as a result of the investment. As a result, the actual investments making up a Fund's portfolio may not at a particular time comport with any such limitation due to increases or decreases in the values of securities or market capitalizations of the issuers of securities held by the Fund.

The following information supplements the discussion of the Funds' principal investment strategies as set forth in the combined Prospectus. The Funds may invest in the following types of investments, each of which is subject to certain risks, as discussed below.

**Market and Regulatory Risk.**

Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and affect performance. Such adverse effect on performance could include a decline in the value and liquidity of securities held by the Fund, unusually high and unanticipated levels of redemptions, an increase in portfolio turnover, a decrease in net asset value ("NAV"), and an increase in Fund expenses. It may also be unusually difficult to identify both investment risks and opportunities, in which case investment objectives may not be met. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value and the Fund may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests. It is impossible to predict whether or for how long such market events will continue, particularly if they are unprecedented, unforeseen or widespread events or conditions, pandemics, epidemics, and other similar circumstances in one or more countries or regions. Therefore, it is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply and for extended periods, and you could lose money.

Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments. Policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and may in some instances contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time. In addition, economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments may be negatively affected.

**Equity Securities.**

Common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible securities are examples of equity securities in which the Funds may invest. All investments in equity securities are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles and the value of the securities in a

------

Fund's portfolio may fluctuate substantially from day to day. Owning an equity security can also subject the Funds to the risk that the issuer may discontinue paying dividends.

*Common Stocks.*

Common stocks represent a proportionate share of the ownership of a company and its value is based on the success of the company's business, any income paid to stockholders, the value of its assets, and general market conditions. In addition to the general risks set forth above, investments in common stocks are subject to the risk that in the event a company in which a Fund invests is liquidated, the holders of preferred stock and creditors of that company will be paid in full before any payments are made to a Fund as a holder of common stock. It is possible that all assets of that company will be exhausted before any payments are made to a Fund.

*Preferred Stocks.*

Preferred stock generally has a preference as to dividends and upon liquidation over an issuer's common stock but ranks junior to other income securities in an issuer's capital structure. Preferred stock generally pays dividends in cash (or additional shares of preferred stock) at a defined rate but, unlike interest payments on other income securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer's board of directors. Dividends on preferred stock may be cumulative, meaning that, in the event the issuer fails to make one or more dividend payments on the preferred stock, no dividends may be paid on the issuer's common stock until all unpaid preferred stock dividends have been paid. Preferred stock also may provide that, in the event the issuer fails to make a specified number of dividend payments, the holders of the preferred stock will have the right to elect a specified number of directors to the issuer's board. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

*Convertible Securities.*

Traditional convertible securities include corporate bonds, notes and preferred stocks that may be converted into or exchanged for common stock, and other securities that also provide an opportunity for equity participation. These securities are convertible either at a stated price or a stated rate (that is, for a specific number of shares of common stock or other security). As with other fixed income securities, the price of a convertible security generally varies inversely with interest rates. While providing a fixed income stream, a convertible security also affords the investor an opportunity, through its conversion feature, to participate in the capital appreciation of the common stock into which it is convertible. As the market price of the underlying common stock declines, convertible securities tend to trade increasingly on a yield basis and so may not experience market value declines to the same extent as the underlying common stock. When the market price of the underlying common stock increases, the price of a convertible security tends to rise as a reflection of higher yield or capital appreciation. In such situations, the Funds may have to pay more for a convertible security than the value of the underlying common stock.

*Smaller Company Equity Securities.*

As discussed in the Prospectus, the Funds invest in the equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations. Such investments may involve greater risk than is usually associated with larger, more established companies. These companies often have sales and earnings growth rates that exceed those of companies with larger market capitalization. Such growth rates may in turn be reflected in more rapid share price appreciation. However, companies with small market capitalizations often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be dependent upon a relatively small management group. These securities may have limited marketability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic movements in price than securities of companies with larger market capitalizations or market averages in general. Therefore, to the extent the Funds invest in securities with small market capitalizations, the net asset value of a Fund may fluctuate more widely than market averages.

------

**Other Investment Companies.**

Each Fund may invest in the securities of other registered investment companies, including money market mutual funds, subject to the limitations set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act"). Investments in the securities of other investment companies may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. By investing in another investment company, a Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company. As a result, Fund shareholders indirectly will bear a Fund's proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by shareholders of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses Fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund's own operations.

Each Fund currently intends to limit its investments in securities issued by other investment companies so that not more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one investment company (other than money market fund) will be owned by a Fund, or it affiliated persons, as a whole. In addition to the advisory and operational fees a Fund bears directly in connection with its own operation, the Fund would also bear its pro rata portion of each other investment company's advisory and operational expenses.

Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act restricts investments by registered investment companies in securities of other registered investment companies. The acquisition of shares by the Funds in other registered investment companies is therefore subject to the restrictions of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act, except as may be permitted by Rule and/or an exemptive order obtained by the other registered investment companies that permits the Funds to invest in the other registered investment companies beyond the limits of Section 12(d)(1), subject to certain terms and conditions, including that the Funds enter into an agreement with the other registered investment companies regarding the terms of the investment.

In accordance with Section 12(d)(1)(F) and Rule 12d1-3 of the 1940 Act, the provisions of Section 12(d)(1) shall not apply to securities purchased or otherwise acquired by a Fund if (i) immediately after such purchase or acquisition not more than 3% of the total outstanding stock of such registered investment company (other than money market funds) is owned by the Fund and all affiliated persons of the Fund; and (ii) the Fund is not proposing to offer or sell any security issued by it through a principal underwriter or otherwise at a public or offering price including a sales load or service fee that exceeds the limits set forth in Rule 2341 of the Conduct Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") applicable to a fund of funds (e.g., 8.5%).

The SEC has adopted revisions to the rules permitting funds to invest in other investment companies to streamline and enhance the regulatory framework applicable to fund of funds arrangements. While Rule 12d1-4 permits more types of fund of fund arrangements without an exemptive order, it imposes new conditions, including limits on control and voting of acquired funds' shares, evaluations and findings by investment advisers, fund investment agreements, and limits on most three-tier fund structures.

*Exchange-Traded Funds.* 

The Fund may also invest in shares of exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). ETFs are typically open-end investment companies that are bought and sold on a national securities exchange. An ETF is similar to a traditional mutual fund but trades at different prices during the day on a securities exchange like a stock. Similar to investments in other investment companies discussed above, the Fund's investments in ETFs will involve duplication of advisory fees and other expenses since the Fund will be investing in another investment company. In addition, the Fund's investment in ETFs is also subject to its limitations on investments in investment companies discussed above. To the extent the Fund invests in ETFs which focus on a particular market segment or industry, the Fund will also be subject to the risks associated with investing in those sectors or industries. The shares of the ETFs in which the Fund will invest will be listed on a national securities exchange and the Fund will purchase and sell these shares on the secondary market at their current market price, which may be more or less than their net asset value ("NAV"). Investors in the Fund should be aware that index-based ETFs are subject to "tracking

------

risk," which is the risk that an ETF will not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the index it tracks.

As a purchaser of ETF shares on the secondary market, the Fund are subject to the market risk associated with owning any security whose value is based on market price. ETF shares historically have tended to trade at or near their NAV, but there is no guarantee that they will continue to do so. Unlike traditional mutual funds, shares of an ETF may be purchased and redeemed directly from the ETF only in large blocks and only through participating organizations that have entered into contractual agreements with the ETF. The Fund does not expect to enter into such agreements and therefore will not be able to purchase and redeem its ETF shares directly from the ETF's issuers.

**Foreign Securities.**

The Funds may invest their assets in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign equity securities including in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") issued by U.S. depository banks, which are traded on U.S. exchanges. The Mid Cap Fund and the Large Cap Fund may each invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Small Cap Fund may invest in foreign securities without limit, but such investments are not expected to exceed 20% of the Small Cap Fund's total assets. In determining whether a company is foreign, the Advisor will consider various factors including where the company is headquartered, where the company's principal operations are located, where the company's revenues are derived, where the principal trading market is located and the country in which the company is legally organized. The weight given to each of these factors will vary depending upon the circumstances. Investments in foreign securities may involve a greater degree of risk than those in domestic securities.

ADRs in registered form are dollar-denominated securities designed for use in the U.S. securities markets. ADRs are sponsored and issued by domestic banks and they represent and may be converted into underlying foreign securities deposited with the domestic bank or a correspondent bank. ADRs do not eliminate the risks inherent in investing in the securities of foreign issuers. By investing in ADRs rather than directly in the foreign security, however, a Fund may avoid currency risk during the settlement period for either purchases or sales. There is a large, liquid market in the United States for most ADRs. GDRs are receipts representing an arrangement with a major foreign bank similar to that for ADRs. GDRs are not necessarily denominated in the currency of the underlying security.

Securities of foreign companies may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than securities of U.S. companies because a limited number of companies represent a small number of industries. Many foreign countries lack uniform accounting and disclosure standards comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies, and it may be more difficult to obtain reliable information regarding an issuer's financial condition and operations.

**Brexit.**

Uncertainties surrounding the sovereign debt of a number of European Union ("EU") countries and the viability of the EU have disrupted and may in the future disrupt markets in the United States and around the world. If one or more countries leave the EU or the EU dissolves, the world's securities markets likely will be significantly disrupted. In January 2020, the United Kingdom ("UK") left the EU, commonly referred to as "Brexit," and the UK ceased to be a member of the EU. Following a transition period during which the EU and the UK Government engaged in a series of negotiations regarding the terms of the UK's future relationship with the EU, the EU and the UK Government signed an agreement on December 30, 2020 regarding the economic relationship between the UK and the EU. This agreement became effective on May 1, 2021. The UK and the EU also negotiated a Memorandum of Understanding, which creates a framework for voluntary regulatory cooperation in financial services between the UK and the EU. There is significant market uncertainty regarding Brexit's ramifications, and the range and potential implications of possible political, regulatory, economic, and market outcomes are difficult to predict. This long-term uncertainty may affect other countries in the EU and elsewhere, and may cause volatility within the EU, triggering prolonged economic downturns in certain European countries. In addition, Brexit may create additional and substantial economic stresses for the UK,

------

including a contraction of the UK economy and price volatility in UK stocks, decreased trade, capital outflows, devaluation of the British pound, wider corporate bond spreads due to uncertainty, and declines in business and consumer spending as well as foreign direct investment. Brexit may also adversely affect UK-based financial firms that have counterparties in the EU or participate in market infrastructure (trading venues, clearing houses, settlement facilities) based in the EU. These events and the resulting market volatility may have an adverse effect on the performance of a Fund.

**Commercial Paper and Short-Term Notes.**

The Funds may invest a portion of their assets in commercial paper and short-term notes. Commercial paper consists of unsecured promissory notes issued by companies. Issues of commercial paper and short-term notes will normally have maturities of less than nine months and fixed rates of return, although such instruments may have maturities of up to one year.

Commercial paper and short-term notes will consist of issues rated at the time of purchase "A-2" or higher by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group or "Prime-1" or "Prime-2" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, will be determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality. These rating symbols are described in Appendix A.

**Certificates of Deposit, Bankers' Acceptances and Time Deposits.** 

The Funds may hold certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and time deposits. Certificates of deposit are negotiable certificates issued against funds deposited in a commercial bank for a definite period of time and earning a specified return. Bankers' acceptances are negotiable drafts or bills of exchange, normally drawn by an importer or exporter to pay for specific merchandise, which are "accepted" by a bank, meaning in effect that the bank unconditionally agrees to pay the face value of the instrument on maturity. Certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances acquired by the Funds will be dollar-denominated obligations of domestic banks, savings and loan associations or financial institutions if the principal amount of such bank obligations are fully insured by the U.S. government.

In addition to buying certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances, the Funds also may make interest-bearing time or other interest-bearing deposits in commercial or savings banks. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits maintained at a banking institution for a specified period of time at a specified interest rate.

**Corporate Debt Securities.**

Corporate debt securities include, but are not limited to, debt obligations offered by public or private corporations either registered or unregistered. The market value of such securities may fluctuate in response to interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The ratings of debt securities are described in Appendix A.

**U.S. Treasury Securities.** 

The Small Cap Fund may invest in U.S. Treasuries. U.S. Treasury securities are direct obligations of the U.S. government and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. U.S. Treasury securities differ only in their interest rates, maturities, and dates of issuance. Treasury Bills have maturities of one year or less. Treasury Notes have maturities of one to ten years, and Treasury Bonds generally have maturities of greater than ten years at the date of issuance. Yields on short-, intermediate-, and long-term U.S. Treasury securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the money and bond markets, the size of a particular offering, and the maturity of the obligation.

**Illiquid Investments and Restricted Securities.**

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, a Fund may not acquire any "illiquid investment" if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments that are assets. An "illiquid investment" is any investment that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Each Fund has implemented a liquidity risk management program

------

and related procedures to identify illiquid investments pursuant to Rule 22e-4. The 15% limits are applied as of the date a Fund purchases an illiquid investment. It is possible that a Fund's holding of illiquid investment could exceed the 15% limit, for example as a result of market developments or redemptions.

Each Fund may purchase certain restricted securities that can be resold to institutional investors and which may be determined not to be illiquid investments pursuant to the Fund's liquidity risk management program. In many cases, those securities are traded in the institutional market under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and are called Rule 144A securities.Investments in illiquid investments involve more risks than investments in similar securities that are readily marketable. Illiquid investments may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments. Investment of a Fund's assets in illiquid investments may restrict the ability of the Fund to dispose of its investments in a timely fashion and for a fair price as well as its ability to take advantage of market opportunities. The risks associated with illiquidity will be particularly acute where a Fund's operations require cash, such as when the Fund has net redemptions, and could result in the Fund borrowing to meet short-term cash requirements or incurring losses on the sale of illiquid investments.Illiquid investments are often restricted securities sold in private placement transactions between issuers and their purchasers and may be neither listed on an exchange nor traded in other established markets. In many cases, the privately placed securities may not be freely transferable under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction or due to contractual restrictions on resale. To the extent privately placed securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from the sales could be less than those originally paid by a Fund or less than the fair value of the securities. In addition, issuers whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that may be applicable if their securities were publicly traded. If any privately placed securities held by a Fund are required to be registered under the securities laws of one or more jurisdictions before being resold, the Fund may be required to bear the expenses of registration. Private placement investments may involve investments in smaller, less seasoned issuers, which may involve greater risks than investments in more established companies. These issuers may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, or they may be dependent on a limited management group. In making investments in private placement securities, a Fund may obtain access to material non-public information, which may restrict the Fund's ability to conduct transactions in those securities.

**Repurchase Agreements.** 

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. However, each Fund may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in repurchase agreements. For purposes of the 1940 Act, a repurchase agreement may be deemed to be a loan from a Fund to the seller of the security subject to the repurchase agreement. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price may be higher than the purchase price, the difference being income to the Fund, or the purchase and repurchase prices may be the same, with interest at a stated rate due to the Fund together with the repurchase price on repurchase. In either case, the income to the Fund is unrelated to the interest rate on the security itself. Such repurchase agreements will be made only with banks with assets of $500 million or more that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or with government securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board and registered as broker-dealers with the SEC or exempt from such registration. A Fund will generally enter into repurchase agreements of short durations, from overnight to one week, although the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. A Fund may not enter into a repurchase agreement with more than seven days to maturity if, as a result, more than 15% of the value of its net assets would be invested in illiquid securities, including such repurchase agreements.

Because a repurchase agreement may be deemed to be a loan under the 1940 Act, it is not clear whether a court would consider the security acquired by a Fund subject to a repurchase agreement as being owned by the Fund or as being collateral for a loan by a Fund to the seller. In the event of the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings with respect to the seller of the security before its repurchase under a repurchase agreement, a Fund may encounter delays and incur costs before being able to sell the security. Delays may involve loss of interest or a decline in price of the security. If a court characterizes the transaction as a loan, and the Fund has not perfected a security interest in the security, the Fund may be required to return the security to

------

the seller's estate and be treated as an unsecured creditor of the seller. As an unsecured creditor, the Fund would be at risk of losing some or all of the principal and income involved in the transaction. As with any unsecured debt instrument purchased for the Funds, the Advisor seeks to minimize the risk of loss through repurchase agreements by analyzing the creditworthiness of the other party, in this case the seller of the security.

Apart from the risk of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, there is also the risk that the seller may fail to repurchase the security. However, each Fund will always receive as collateral for any repurchase agreement to which it is a party securities acceptable to it, the market value of which is equal to at least 100% of the amount invested by a Fund plus accrued interest, and the Fund will make payment against such securities only upon physical delivery or evidence of book entry transfer to the account of its custodian. If the market value of the security subject to the repurchase agreement becomes less than the repurchase price (including interest), a Fund will direct the seller of the security to deliver additional securities so that the market value of all securities subject to the repurchase agreement will equal or exceed the repurchase price. It is possible that the Fund will be unsuccessful in seeking to impose on the seller a contractual obligation to deliver additional securities.

**Borrowing.**

Currently, the 1940 Act permits the Funds to borrow money from banks in amounts of up to one-third of a Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed). To the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder, a Fund may also borrow an additional 5% of its total assets without regard to the foregoing limitation for temporary purposes, such as the clearance of portfolio transactions. To limit the risks attendant to borrowing, the 1940 Act requires a Fund to maintain at all times an "asset coverage" of at least 300% of the amount of its borrowings. Asset coverage means the ratio that the value of a Fund's total assets, minus liabilities other than borrowings, bears to the aggregate amount of all borrowings. Borrowing money to increase a Fund's investment portfolio is known as "leveraging." Borrowing, especially when used for leverage, may cause the value of a Fund's shares to be more volatile than if the Fund did not borrow. This is because borrowing tends to magnify the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of a Fund's portfolio holdings. Borrowed money thus creates an opportunity for greater gains, but also greater losses. To repay borrowings, a Fund may have to sell securities at a time and at a price that is unfavorable to the Fund. There also are costs associated with borrowing money, and these costs would offset and could eliminate the Fund's net investment income in any given period.

The use of borrowing by a Fund involves special risk considerations that may not be associated with other funds having similar objectives and policies. Since substantially all of a Fund's assets fluctuate in value, while the interest obligation resulting from a borrowing will be fixed by the terms of the Fund's agreement with its lender, the net asset value per share of the Fund will tend to increase more when its portfolio securities increase in value and to decrease more when its portfolio assets decrease in value than would otherwise be the case if the Fund did not borrow funds. In addition, interest costs on borrowings may fluctuate with changing market rates of interest and may partially offset or exceed the return earned on borrowed funds. Under adverse market conditions, a Fund might have to sell portfolio securities to meet interest or principal payments at a time when fundamental investment considerations would not favor such sales. Each Fund will reduce its borrowing amount within three days, if that Fund's asset coverage falls below the amount required by the 1940 Act.

**Securities Lending.**

Each Fund reserves the right, pending receipt of Board approval, to lend securities from its portfolio to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) in order to increase the return on its portfolio, subject to a maximum of 33% of a Fund's total assets. The SEC currently requires that the following conditions must be met whenever a Fund's portfolio securities are loaned: (1) the Fund must receive at least 100% cash collateral from the borrower; (2) the borrower must increase such collateral whenever the market value of the securities rises above the level of such collateral; (3) the Fund must be able to terminate the loan at any time; (4) the Fund must receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, and any increase in market value; (5) the Fund may pay only reasonable custodian fees

------

approved by the Board in connection with the loan; (6) while voting rights on the loaned securities may pass to the borrower, the Board must terminate the loan and regain the right to vote the securities if a material event adversely affecting the investment occurs, and (7) the Fund may not loan its portfolio securities so that the value of the loaned securities is more than one-third of its total asset value, including collateral received from such loans. These conditions may be subject to future modification. Such loans will be terminable at any time upon specified notice. The Funds might experience the risk of loss if the institution with which they have engaged in a portfolio loan transaction breaches its agreement with the Funds. In addition, the Funds will not enter into any portfolio security lending arrangement having a duration of longer than one year. The principal risk of portfolio lending is potential default or insolvency of the borrower. In either of these cases, the Funds could experience delays in recovering securities or collateral or could lose all or part of the value of the loaned securities. As part of participating in a lending program, the Funds may be required to invest in collateralized debt or other securities that bear the risk of loss of principal. In addition, all investments made with the collateral received are subject to the risks associated with such investments. If such investments lose value, the Funds will have to cover the loss when repaying the collateral.

Any loans of portfolio securities are fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily. Any securities that the Funds may receive as collateral will not become part of the Funds' investment portfolio at the time of the loan and, in the event of a default by the borrower, the Funds will, if permitted by law, dispose of such collateral except for such part thereof that is a security in which the Funds are permitted to invest. During the time securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any accrued income on those securities, and the Funds may invest the cash collateral and earn income or receive an agreed-upon fee from a borrower that has delivered cash-equivalent collateral.

**Reverse Repurchase Agreements.** 

The Funds may borrow funds for temporary purposes by entering into reverse repurchase agreements in accordance with each Fund's investment restrictions. Pursuant to such agreements, a Fund would sell portfolio securities to financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and agree to repurchase the securities at the mutually agreed-upon date and price. The Funds would enter into reverse repurchase agreements only to avoid otherwise selling securities during unfavorable market conditions to meet redemptions. Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act permits a Fund to enter into reverse repurchase agreements, provided that the Fund treats the reverse repurchase agreements as a borrowing subject to the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act (see "Borrowing" above).

The use of reverse repurchase agreements by a Fund creates leverage which increases the Fund's investment risk. If the income and gains on securities purchased with the proceeds of reverse repurchase agreements exceed the cost of the agreements, a Fund's earnings or NAV will increase faster than otherwise would be the case. Conversely, if the income and gains fail to exceed the costs, earnings or NAV would decline faster than otherwise would be the case. The Funds will seek to enter reverse repurchase agreements only when the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by a Fund may decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase the securities.

**Sector Focus.**

The Funds may invest greater than 25% of their assets in one or more of the following sectors: consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, materials, information technology, real estate, utilities, and communications services. If a Fund's portfolio is overweighted in a certain sector, any negative development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the Fund than a fund that is not overweighted in that sector.

*Information Technology Risk.* As of October 31, 2022, the Mid Cap Fund and Large Cap Fund each invested greater than 25% of their assets in the information technology sector. The information technology sector can be significantly affected by rapid obsolescence of existing technology, short

------

product cycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants, government regulation, and general economic conditions.

**Use of Derivatives, Hedging and Income Transactions.** 

The Funds are prohibited from investing in derivatives, excluding certain currency and interest rate hedging transactions. This restriction is not fundamental and may be changed by the Funds without a shareholder vote. If the Funds do determine to invest in derivatives in the future, they will comply with Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act.

**Special Risks Related to Cyber Security.**

The Funds and their service providers are susceptible to cyber security risks that include, among other things, theft, unauthorized monitoring, release, misuse, loss, destruction or corruption of confidential and highly restricted data; denial of service attacks; unauthorized access to relevant systems, compromises to networks or devices that the Funds and their service providers use to service the Funds' operations; or operational disruption or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support the Funds and their service providers. Cyber attacks against or security breakdowns of the Funds or their service providers may adversely impact the Funds and their shareholders, potentially resulting in, among other things, financial losses; the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business and the Funds to process transactions; inability to calculate a Fund's NAV; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs; and/or additional compliance costs. The Funds may incur additional costs for cyber security risk management and remediation purposes. In addition, cyber security risks may also impact issuers of securities in which the Funds invest, which may cause the Funds' investment in such issuers to lose value. There can be no assurance that the Funds or their service providers will not suffer losses relating to cyber attacks or other information security breaches in the future.

**Temporary Defensive Positions.**

The Funds may take temporary defensive measures that are inconsistent with a Fund's normal investment policies and strategies in response to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions as determined by the Advisor. Such measures could include, but are not limited to, investments in (1) highly liquid short-term fixed income securities issued by or on behalf of municipal or corporate issuers, obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies, commercial paper, and bank certificates of deposit; (2) repurchase agreements involving any such securities; and (3) other money market instruments.

**INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS**

The Trust (on behalf of the Funds) has adopted the following restrictions as fundamental policies, which may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders of a "majority" of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds. Under the 1940 Act, the "vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the vote of the holders of the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of the Funds represented at a meeting at which the holders of more than 50% of the Funds' outstanding shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Funds.

As a matter of fundamental policy, the Funds may not:

1. With respect to 75% of its total assets, invest more than 5% of their total assets in the securities of a single issuer or hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer;

2. As discussed in more detail on p. B-9, borrow money or issue senior securities, except through reverse repurchase agreements or otherwise as permitted under the 1940 Act, as interpreted, modified or otherwise permitted by regulatory authority. Generally, issuing senior securities is prohibited under the 1940 Act; however, certain exceptions apply such as in the case of reverse repurchase agreements, borrowing, and certain other leveraging transactions;

------

3. Act as underwriter (except to the extent the Funds may be deemed to be an underwriter in connection with the sale of securities in its investment portfolio);

4. Invest 25% or more of its net assets, calculated at the time of purchase and taken at market value, in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries (other than U.S. government securities);

5. Purchase or sell real estate, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities (although the Funds may purchase and sell securities that are secured by real estate and securities of companies that invest or deal in real estate);

6. Purchase or sell physical commodities, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. This limitation shall not prevent a Fund from purchasing, selling, or entering into futures contracts, or acquiring securities or other instruments thereon backed by, or related to, physical commodities; or

7. Make loans of money (except purchases of debt securities consistent with the investment policies of the Funds). For purposes of this limitation, entering into repurchase agreements, lending securities and acquiring any debt security are not deemed to be the making of loans.

**PORTFOLIO TURNOVER**

Although the Funds generally will not invest for short-term trading purposes, portfolio securities may be sold without regard to the length of time they have been held when, in the opinion of the Advisor, investment considerations warrant such action. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing (1) the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for a fiscal year by (2) the monthly average of the value of portfolio securities owned during such fiscal year. A 100% turnover rate would occur if all the securities in a Fund's portfolio, with the exception of securities whose maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less, were sold and either repurchased or replaced within one year. A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) generally leads to higher transaction costs and may result in a greater number of taxable transactions. (See "Execution of Portfolio Transactions")

The portfolio turnover for the Mid Cap Fund for the following fiscal years is set forth below.

**PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION**

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has adopted a portfolio holdings disclosure policy that governs the timing and circumstances of disclosure of portfolio holdings of the Funds. The Advisor has also adopted a policy with respect to disclosure of portfolio holdings of the Funds (the "Advisor's Policy"). Information about the Funds'

------

portfolio holdings will not be distributed to any third party except in accordance with the portfolio holdings policies and the Advisor's Policy (the "Disclosure Policies"). The Advisor and the Board considered the circumstances under which the Funds' portfolio holdings may be disclosed under the Disclosure Policies and the actual and potential material conflicts that could arise in such circumstances between the interests of the Funds' shareholders and the interests of the Advisor, distributor or any other affiliated person of the Funds, its Advisor or its distributor. After due consideration, the Advisor and the Board determined that the Funds have a legitimate business purpose for disclosing portfolio holdings to persons described in the Disclosure Policies, including mutual fund rating or statistical agencies, or persons performing similar functions, and internal parties involved in the investment process, administration or custody of the Funds. Pursuant to the Disclosure Policies, the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), President and Treasurer are each authorized to consider and authorize dissemination of portfolio holdings information to additional third parties, after considering the best interests of the Funds' shareholders and potential conflicts of interest in making such disclosures.

The Board exercises continuing oversight of the disclosure of the Funds' portfolio holdings by (1) overseeing the implementation and enforcement of the Disclosure Policies, Codes of Ethics and other relevant policies of the Funds and their service providers by the Trust's CCO, (2) by considering reports and recommendations by the Trust's CCO concerning any material compliance matters (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act), and (3) by considering to approve any amendment to the Disclosure Policies. The Board reserves the right to amend the Disclosure Policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders in its sole discretion.

Disclosure of the Funds' complete holdings is required to be made quarterly within 60 days of the end of each period covered by the Annual Report and Semi-Annual Report to Fund shareholders and in the quarterly holdings report on Form N-PORT. These reports are available, free of charge, on the EDGAR database on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Funds disclose their month-end portfolio holdings on the Funds' website at www.congressasset.com/funds within 15 business days after the month-end. The month-end portfolio holdings for the Funds will remain posted on the website until the following month-end portfolio holdings are posted. Portfolio holdings information posted on the Funds' website may be separately provided to any person, commencing on the day after it is first published on the Funds' website. In addition, the Funds may provide their complete portfolio holdings at the same time that it is filed with the SEC.

In the event of a conflict between the interests of the Funds and the interests of the Advisor or an affiliated person of the Advisor, the CCO of the Advisor, in consultation with the Trust's CCO, shall make a determination in the best interests of the Funds, and shall report such determination to the Board at the end of the quarter in which such determination was made. Any employee of the Advisor who suspects a breach of this obligation must report the matter immediately to the Advisor's CCO or to his or her supervisor.

In addition, material non-public holdings information may be provided without lag as part of the normal investment activities of the Funds to each of the following entities, which, by explicit agreement or by virtue of their respective duties to the Funds, are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed, including a duty not to trade on non-public information: the fund administrator, fund accountant, custodian, transfer agent, auditors, counsel to the Funds or the Board, broker-dealers (in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or requests for price quotations or bids on one or more securities) and regulatory authorities. Portfolio holdings information not publicly available with the SEC or through the Funds' website may only be provided to additional third parties, including mutual fund ratings or statistical agencies, in accordance with the Disclosure Policies, when the Funds have a legitimate business purpose and the third-party recipient is subject to a confidentiality agreement that includes a duty not to trade on non-public information.

In no event shall the Advisor, its affiliates or employees, the Funds, or any other party receive any direct or indirect compensation in connection with the disclosure of information about the Funds' portfolio holdings.

There can be no assurance that the Disclosure Policies will protect the Funds from potential misuse of portfolio holdings information by individuals or entities to which it is disclosed

------

From time to time, the Advisor may make additional disclosure of the Funds' portfolio holdings on the Funds' website. Shareholders can access the Funds' website at www.congressasset.com/funds for additional information about the Funds, including, without limitation, the periodic disclosure of its portfolio holdings.

**TRUSTEES AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS**

The Board is responsible for the overall management of the Trust, including general supervision and review of the investment activities of the Funds. The Board, in turn, elects the officers of the Trust, who are responsible for administering the day-to-day operations of the Trust and its separate series. The current trustees and officers of the Trust, their year of birth, positions with the Trust, terms of office with the Trust and length of time served, their principal occupations for the past five years and other directorships are set forth in the table below.

<sup>(1)</sup> All Trustees of the Trust who are not "interested persons" of the Trust as defined under the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees").

<sup>(2)</sup> Under the terms of the Board's retirement policy, a Trustee shall retire at the end of the calendar year in which he or she reaches the age of 78.

<sup>(3)</sup> The Trust is comprised of numerous series managed by unaffiliated investment advisers. The term "Fund Complex" applies only to the Funds. The Funds do not hold themselves out as related to any other series within the Trust for investment purposes.

**Additional Information Concerning the Board of Trustees**

*The Role of the Board*

The Board oversees the management and operations of the Trust. Like all mutual funds, the day-to-day management and operation of the Trust is the responsibility of the various service providers to the Trust, such as the Adviser, the Distributor, the Administrator, the Custodian, and the Transfer Agent, each of whom is discussed in greater detail in this Statement of Additional Information. The Board has appointed various senior employees of the Administrator as officers of the Trust, with responsibility to monitor and report to the Board on the Trust's operations. In conducting this oversight, the Board receives regular reports from these officers and the service providers. For example, the Treasurer reports as to financial reporting matters and the President reports as to matters relating to the Trust's operations. In addition, the Adviser provides regular reports on the investment strategy and performance of the Funds. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer who administers the Trust's compliance program and regularly reports to the Board as to compliance matters. These reports are provided as part of formal "Board Meetings" which are typically held quarterly, in person, and involve the Board's review of recent operations. In addition, various members of the Board also meet with management in less formal settings, between formal "Board Meetings," to discuss various topics. In all cases, however, the role of the Board and of any individual Trustee is one of oversight and not of management of the day-to-day affairs of the Trust and its oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the Trust's investments, operations or activities.

*Board Structure, Leadership*

The Board has structured itself in a manner that it believes allows it to perform its oversight function effectively. It has established three standing committees, a Nominating and Governance Committee, an Audit Committee, and a Qualified Legal Compliance Committee, which are discussed in greater detail below under "Trust Committees." The Board is entirely comprised of Trustees who are Independent Trustees, which are Trustees that are not affiliated with the Adviser, the principal underwriter, or their affiliates. The Independent Trustees have engaged their own independent counsel to advise them on matters relating to their responsibilities in connection with the Trust. The Nominating and Governance Committee, Audit Committee and Qualified Legal Compliance Committee are comprised of all of the Independent Trustees. The Chairperson of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Board has determined not to combine the Chairperson position and the principal executive officer position and has appointed a Vice President of the Administrator as the President of the Trust. The Board reviews its structure and the structure of its committees annually. The Board has determined that the structure of the Independent Chairperson, the composition of the Board, and the function and composition of its various committees are appropriate means to address any potential conflicts of interest that may arise.

*Board Oversight of Risk Management*

As part of its oversight function, the Board receives and reviews various risk management reports and discusses these matters with appropriate management and other personnel. Because risk management is a broad concept comprised of many elements (e.g., investment risk, issuer and counterparty risk, compliance risk, operational risks, business continuity risks, etc.), the oversight of different types of risks is handled in different ways. For example, the Audit Committee meets with the Treasurer and the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm to discuss, among other things, the internal control structure of the Trust's financial reporting function. The Board meets regularly with the Chief Compliance Officer to discuss compliance and operational risks and how they are managed. The Board also receives reports from the Adviser as to investment risks of the Fund. In addition to these reports, from time to time the Board receives reports from the Administrator and the Adviser as to enterprise risk management.

------

*Information about Each Trustee's Qualification, Experience, Attributes or Skills* 

The Board believes that each of the Trustees has the qualifications, experience, attributes and skills ("Trustee Attributes") appropriate to their continued service as Trustees of the Trust in light of the Trust's business and structure. In addition to a demonstrated record of business and/or professional accomplishment, each of the Trustees has served on the Board for a number of years. They have substantial board experience and, in their service to the Trust, have gained substantial insight as to the operation of the Trust. They have demonstrated a commitment to discharging their oversight duties as trustees in the interests of shareholders. The Board annually conducts a "self-assessment" wherein the effectiveness of the Board and individual Trustees is reviewed.

In addition to the information provided in the chart above, below is certain additional information concerning each particular Trustee and his/her Trustee Attributes. The information is not all-inclusive. Many Trustee Attributes involve intangible elements, such as intelligence, integrity, work ethic, the ability to work together, the ability to communicate effectively, the ability to exercise judgment, to ask incisive questions, and commitment to shareholder interests.

Ms. Barr's Trustee Attributes include her substantial mutual fund experience, including her role as Chair of the Governing Council for the Independent Directors Council and member of the ICI Board of Governors. She has executive experience as the former owner of a registered investment adviser (Productive Capital Management, Inc.), as the Chief Administrative Officer, Senior Vice President and Senior Managing Director of Allegiant Asset Management Company (merged with PNC Capital Advisors LLC in 2009), and as the Chief Administrative Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and Senior Vice President of PNC Funds and PNC Advantage Funds (f/k/a Allegiant Funds). Ms. Barr also currently serves on the board of several registered investment companies. Ms. Barr has been determined to qualify as an Audit Committee financial expert for the Trust. The Board believes Ms. Barr's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees led to the conclusion that she possesses the requisite skills and attributes as a Trustee to carry out oversight responsibilities with respect to the Trust.

Mr. Falkeis' Trustee Attributes include his substantial mutual fund experience and his experience with financial, accounting, investment and regulatory matters through his former position as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (and other positions) of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, a full-service provider to ETFs, mutual funds and alternative investment products. Mr. Falkeis currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of Tidal ETF Services LLC (2018 to present), and he has experience consulting with investment advisers regarding the legal structure of investment companies, distribution channel analysis, marketing and actual distribution of those funds. Mr. Falkeis also has substantial managerial, operational and risk oversight experience through his former positions as Chief Operating Officer and Trustee of the Direxion Funds and the Direxion Exchange Traded Funds. Mr. Falkeis has been determined to qualify as an Audit Committee financial expert for the Trust. The Board believes Mr. Falkeis' experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees led to the conclusion that he possesses the requisite skills and attributes as a Trustee to carry out oversight responsibilities with respect to the Trust.

Mr. Paggioli's Trustee Attributes include his substantial mutual fund and investment advisory experience. Mr. Paggioli is an independent consultant on investment company and investment advisory matters. He has held a number of senior positions with mutual fund and investment advisory organizations and related businesses, including Executive Vice President, Director and Principal of the Wadsworth Group (fund administration, distribution transfer agency and accounting services). He serves on the boards of several investment management companies and advisory firms. He is a member of the Board of Governors of the Investment Company Institute and of the Governing Council of the Independent Directors Council. He has served on various industry association and self-regulatory committees and formerly worked on the staff of the SEC. Mr. Paggioli has been determined to qualify as an Audit Committee financial expert for the Trust. The Board believes Mr. Paggioli's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in

------

combination with those of the other Trustees led to the conclusion that he possesses the requisite skills and attributes as a Trustee to carry out oversight responsibilities with respect to the Trust.

Mr. Parikh's Trustee Attributes include his substantial investment and executive experience in the asset management industry, including his position as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Ridgeworth Investments (global investment management firm with over $41 billion in assets). He has also served as a Trustee of several investment trusts (including private investment trusts). Mr. Parikh has ongoing responsibility as a member of the Investment Working Group as part of the Board of Directors for the Ohio State University Endowments & Foundation, as well as an ongoing position as a member of the Investment Committee for the World Methodist Council Endowment Fund (a charitable religious foundation). Mr. Parikh has been determined to qualify as an Audit Committee financial expert for the Trust. The Board believes Mr. Parikh possesses the requisite skills and attributes as a Trustee to carry out oversight responsibilities with respect to the Trust.

Ms. Fornelli's Trustee Attributes include her substantial governance, legal, regulatory and business experience, including her role as an Independent Director of TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp and TriplePoint Private Venture Credit, Inc. She has broad leadership experience in strategy formulation, corporate governance and risk management. She has executive experience as the Executive Director of Center for Audit Quality (2007-2019), Senior Vice President of Regulatory and Conflicts Management at Bank of America (2005-2007) and Deputy Director, Division of Investment Management with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (1998-2005). Ms. Fornelli has been determined to qualify as an Audit Committee financial expert for the Trust. The Board believes Ms. Fornelli's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees led to the conclusion that she possesses the requisite skills and attributes as a Trustee to carry out oversight responsibilities with respect to the Trust.

**Trust Committees**

The Trust has three standing committees: the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Audit Committee, which also serves as the Qualified Legal Compliance Committee ("QLCC").

The Nominating and Governance Committee, comprised of all of the Independent Trustees, is responsible for seeking and reviewing candidates for consideration as nominees for Trustees and meets only as necessary. The Nominating and Governance Committee has appointed Independent Trustee Kathleen Barr as the Chairperson of the Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider nominees nominated by shareholders. Recommendations for consideration by shareholders by the Nominating Committee should be sent to the President of the Trust in writing together with the appropriate biographical information concerning each such proposed Nominee, and such recommendation must comply with the notice provisions set forth in the Trust By-Laws. In general, to comply with such procedures, such nominations, together with all required biographical information, must be delivered to and received by the President of the Trust at the principal executive offices of the Trust not later than 120 days and no more than 150 days prior to the shareholder meeting at which any such nominee would be voted on. The Nominating and Governance Committee met one time during the Fund's last fiscal year with respect to the Fund.

The Audit Committee is comprised of all of the Independent Trustees. The Audit Committee generally meets on a quarterly basis with respect to the various series of the Trust, and may meet more frequently. The function of the Audit Committee, with respect to each series of the Trust, is to review the scope and results of the audit of such series' financial statements and any matters bearing on the audit or the financial statements, and to ensure the integrity of the series' pricing and financial reporting. The Audit Committee met one time with respect to the Fund during the Fund's last fiscal year.

The function of the QLCC is to receive reports from an attorney retained by the Trust of evidence of a material violation by the Trust or by any officer, director, employee or agent of the Trust. The QLCC did not meet during the Fund's last fiscal year with respect to the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>Prior to her appointment, Ms. Fornelli was paid as a consultant to the Trust between January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

**Codes of Ethics**

The Trust and the Advisor have each adopted separate Codes of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act. These Codes permit, subject to certain conditions, access persons of the Advisor to invest in securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund. The Distributor, as defined below, relies on the principal underwriter's exception under Rule 17j-1(c)(3), of the 1940 Act, specifically where the Distributor is not affiliated with the

------

Trust or the Advisor, and no officer, director or general partner of the Distributor serves as an officer, director or general partner of the Trust or the Advisor.

**PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES**

The Board has adopted Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures ("Proxy Policies") on behalf of the Trust which delegate the responsibility for voting proxies to the Advisor, subject to the Board's continuing oversight. The Proxy Policies require that the Advisor vote proxies received in a manner consistent with the best interests of the Funds and its shareholders. The Proxy Policies also require the Advisor to present to the Board, at least annually, the Advisor's Proxy Policies and a record of each proxy voted by the Advisor on behalf of the Funds, including a report on the resolution of all proxies identified by the Advisor as involving a conflict of interest.

The Advisor has adopted Proxy Policies that underscore the Advisor's concern that all proxies voting decisions be made in the best interest of the Funds' shareholders. The Advisor considers each proxy proposal individually and makes decisions on a case-by-case basis. At all times, however, the Advisor will act in a prudent and diligent manner intended to enhance the economic value of the assets of a Fund. The Advisor believes that market conditions and other economic considerations will influence how decisions are made on proxy proposals. Where a proxy proposal raises a material conflict between the Advisor's interests and a Fund's interests, the Advisor will disclose the conflict to the Board and obtain the Board's consent to vote or direct the matter to an independent third party, selected by the Board, for a vote determination. If the Board's consent or the independent third party's determination is not received in a timely manner, the Advisor will abstain from voting the proxy. The Advisor's Policy is attached as Appendix B.

The Trust is required to file a Form N-PX, with each Fund's complete proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30, no later than August 31 of each year. Form N-PX for the Funds will be available without charge, upon request, by calling toll-free 1-888-688-1299 and on the SEC's website at <u>www.sec.gov</u>.

**CONTROL PERSONS, PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT OWNERSHIP**

A principal shareholder is any person who owns of record or beneficially owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares of a Fund. A control person is any person who owns beneficially or through controlled companies more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund or acknowledges the existence of control. As of January 31, 2023, the Trustees and Officers of the Trust as a group did not own more than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Funds.

The Investment Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor shall not be liable under such agreement for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of portfolio transactions for the Funds, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder.

In consideration of the services provided by the Advisor pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive from the Funds an investment advisory fee computed daily and paid monthly, based on a rate equal to 0.60% of the Mid Cap Fund, 0.50% of the Large Cap Fund, and 0.85% of the Small

Cap Fund's average daily net assets as specified in the Funds' Prospectus. However, the Advisor may voluntarily agree to reduce a portion of the fees payable to it on a month-to-month basis.

The Funds are responsible for their own operating expenses. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce fees and/or pay Fund expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expense, interest expense in connection with investment activities, tax, and extraordinary expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees and any other class-specific expenses) in order to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement for shares of the Congress Mid Cap Growth Fund is 0.85% of the Fund's average net assets (the "Expense Cap"). The Expense Cap for the Congress Mid Cap Growth Fund is indefinite, but will remain in effect until at least February 28, 2024. The Expense Cap for the Congress Large Cap Growth Fund is 0.95% of the Fund's average net assets. The Expense Cap for the Congress Large Cap Growth Fund is indefinite, but will remain in effect until at least September 30, 2024, and may continue thereafter as determined by the Board. The Accounting Survivor did not have any expense caps. The Expense Cap for the Congress Small Cap Growth Fund is 1.00% of the Fund's average net assets. The Expense Cap for the Small Cap Growth Fund is indefinite, but will remain in effect until at least September 30, 2024 and may continue thereafter as determined by the Board. The Advisor is permitted, with Board approval, to be reimbursed for fee reductions and/or expenses payments made in the prior three years from the date the fees were waived and expenses were paid. This reimbursement may be requested if the aggregate amount actually paid by a Fund toward operating expenses for such period (taking into account any reimbursement) does not exceed the lesser of the Expense Cap in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement.

**Portfolio Managers' Compensation.** Portfolio Managers receive a competitive base salary and benefits package. They are eligible for a bonus that is derived from a number of metrics including personal performance, investment performance, firm-wide net asset flows, and net operating income. They are also eligible for and may receive an equity participation. The benchmarks to measure investment performance would be the Russell 1000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index for Large Cap Growth Fund, Russell Mid Cap Growth Index for Mid Cap Growth Fund, and Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index for Small Cap Growth Fund.

**Conflicts of Interest for Portfolio Managers.** Because the Advisor performs investment management services for various clients, certain conflicts of interest could arise. The Advisor may give advice and take action with respect to its other clients and/or funds that may differ from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Funds. The Advisor will have no obligation to purchase or sell for the Funds, or to recommend for purchase or sale by the Funds, any security that the Advisor, its principals, its affiliates, or its employees may purchase for themselves or for other clients and/or funds at the same time or the same price. Where the Advisor buys or sells the same security for two or more clients, it may place concurrent orders with a single broker, to be executed together as a single "block" in order to facilitate orderly and efficient execution.

**SERVICE PROVIDERS**

**Administrator, Transfer Agent and Fund Accountant**

The Custodian and its affiliates may participate in revenue sharing arrangements with the service providers of mutual funds in which the Funds may invest.

**Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Legal Counsel**

Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, Two Liberty Place, 50 South 16th Street, Suite 2900, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102, is the independent registered public accounting firm, providing audit services, tax services and assistance with respect to the preparation of filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the Funds.

Sullivan & Worcester LLP, 1633 Broadway, 32nd Floor, New York, New York 10019, serves as legal counsel to the Trust. Sullivan & Worcester also serves as independent legal counsel to the Board of Trustees.

**EXECUTION OF PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS**

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor determines which securities are to be purchased and sold by the Funds and which broker-dealers are eligible to execute the Funds' portfolio transactions. Purchases and sales of securities in the OTC market will generally be executed directly with a "market-maker" unless, in the opinion of the Advisor, a better price and execution can otherwise be obtained by using a broker for the transaction.

Purchases of portfolio securities for the Funds also may be made directly from issuers or from underwriters. Where possible, purchase and sale transactions will be effected through dealers (including banks) that specialize in the types of securities that the Funds will be holding, unless better executions are available elsewhere. Dealers and underwriters usually act as principal for their own accounts. Purchases from underwriters will include a concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter and purchases from dealers will include the spread between the bid and the asked price. If the execution and price offered by more than one dealer or underwriter are comparable, the order may be allocated to a dealer or underwriter that has provided research or other services as discussed below.

In placing portfolio transactions, the Advisor will use its reasonable efforts to choose broker-dealers capable of providing the services necessary to obtain the most favorable price and execution available. The full range and quality of services available will be considered in making these determinations, such as the size of the order, the difficulty of execution, the operational facilities of the firm involved, the firm's risk in positioning a block of securities, and other factors. In those instances where it is reasonably determined that more than one broker-dealer can offer the services needed to obtain the most favorable price and execution available, consideration may be given to those broker-dealers that furnish or supply research and statistical information to the Advisor, to the extent the Advisor may lawfully and appropriately use such research and information in its investment advisory capacity, as well as provide other services in addition to execution services. The Advisor considers such information, which is in addition to and not in lieu of the services required to be performed by it under the Investment Advisory Agreement, to be useful in varying degrees, but of indeterminable value. Portfolio transactions may be placed with broker-dealers that sell shares of the Funds subject to rules adopted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Association and the SEC.

While it is the Funds' general policy to first seek to obtain the most favorable price and execution available in selecting a broker-dealer to execute portfolio transactions for the Funds, weight is also given to the ability of a broker-dealer to furnish brokerage and research services (as defined by Section 28(e) under the Exchange Act) to the Funds or to the Advisor, even if the specific services are not directly useful to the Funds and may be useful to the Advisor in advising other clients. In negotiating commissions with a broker or evaluating the spread to be paid to a dealer, the Funds may therefore pay a higher commission or spread than would be the case if no weight were given to the furnishing of these supplemental services, provided that the amount of such commission or spread has been determined in good faith by the Advisor to be reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided by such broker-dealer. The standard of reasonableness is to be measured in light of the Advisor's overall responsibilities to the Funds. The Advisor will not receive hard dollar credits or, if the Advisor does, the amount of such credits will be immaterial.

------

Investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from those of other client accounts or mutual funds ("Other Accounts") managed or advised by the Advisor. Nevertheless, it is possible that at times identical securities will be acceptable for both the Funds and one or more of such other accounts. In such event, the position of the Funds and such other accounts in the same issuer may vary and the length of time that each may choose to hold its investment in the same issuer may likewise vary. However, to the extent any of such other accounts seeks to acquire the same security as the Funds at the same time, the Funds may not be able to acquire as large a portion of such security as it desires, or it may have to pay a higher price or obtain a lower yield for such security. Similarly, the Funds may not be able to obtain as high a price for, or as large an execution of, an order to sell any particular security at the same time. If one or more of such other accounts simultaneously purchases or sells the same security that the Funds are purchasing or selling, each day's transactions in such security will be allocated between the Funds and all such other accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Advisor, taking into account the respective sizes of the accounts and the amount being purchased or sold. It is recognized that in some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security insofar as the Funds are concerned. In other cases, however, it is believed that the ability of the Funds to participate in volume transactions may produce better executions for the Funds.

The Funds do not effect securities transactions through brokers in accordance with any formula, nor does it effect securities transactions through brokers for selling shares of the Funds. However, as stated above, broker-dealers who execute brokerage transactions may effect purchase of shares of the Funds for their customers.

For the fiscal years ended October 31, the Funds paid aggregate brokerage commissions in the amount of:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Aggregate Brokerage Commissions Paid** | **2022** | **2021** | **2020** |
| Mid Cap Fund | $84212 | $116464 | $189097 |
| Large Cap Fund | $26600 | $38569 | $37470 |
| Small Cap Fund<sup>(1)</sup> | $235454 | $92270 | $35417 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> The commissions amounts paid will vary year to year based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: overall trading activity and frequency, often reflected in the Fund's turnover ratio, the specific markets where the Fund was active, the specific brokers that were used, and any increase or decrease in net assets of the Fund.

Advisors may obtain proprietary and third-party research through client commission arrangements. In a client commission arrangement, the Advisor agrees with a broker effecting trades for the Advisors' client accounts that a portion of the commissions paid by the accounts will be credited to purchase research services as directed by the Advisor. The research provided in connection with such arrangements is intended to comply with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the SEC's related interpretative guidance. Participating in client commission arrangements enables the Advisor to consolidate payments for research services through one or more channels using accumulated client commissions and helps to facilitate the Advisors' receipt of research services and ability to provide best execution in the trading process.

As of the fiscal years ended October 31, the following was paid to firms for research, statistical or other services provided to the Advisor from the amounts above:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Research, Statistical Or Other Services Provided** | **2022** | **2021** | **2020** |
| Large Cap Fund | $6585 | $6988 | $9385 |
| Mid Cap Fund | $18153 | $23874 | $36200 |
| Small Cap Fund | $49726 | $20047 | $6940 |

---

As of the close of the fiscal period ended October 31, 2022, the Funds did not own any securities of their regular broker-dealers as defined by Rule 10b-1 under the 1940 Act.

------

**CAPITAL STOCK**

Shares issued by the Funds have no preemptive, conversion, or subscription rights. Shares issued and sold by the Funds are deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Trust. Shareholders have equal and exclusive rights as to dividends and distributions as declared by the Funds and to the net assets of the Funds upon liquidation or dissolution. The Funds, as separate series of the Trust, votes separately on matters affecting only the Funds (*e.g.*, approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement); all series of the Trust vote as a single class on matters affecting all series jointly or the Trust as a whole (*e.g.*, election or removal of Trustees). Voting rights are not cumulative, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting in any election of Trustees can, if they so choose, elect all of the Trustees. While the Trust is not required and does not intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders, such meetings may be called by the Board in its discretion, or upon demand by the holders of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the Trust, for the purpose of electing or removing Trustees.

**DETERMINATION OF SHARE PRICE**

The NAV of the Funds is determined once daily as of the close of public trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) each day that the NYSE is open for trading. The NYSE annually announces the days on which it will not be open for trading. It is expected that the Exchange will be closed on Saturdays and Sundays and on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. The Funds do not expect to determine the NAV on any day when the Exchange is not open for trading even if there is sufficient trading in their portfolio securities on such days to materially affect the NAV per share.

Securities primarily traded on U.S. national securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at either the last reported sale price on the day of valuation, or the exchange's official closing price, if applicable. If there has been no sale on such day, then the mean between the bid and asked prices will be used. Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by or under the direction of the Adviser.

Trading in foreign securities markets is normally completed well before the close of the NYSE. In addition, foreign securities trading may not take place on all days on which the NYSE is open for trading, and may occur in certain foreign markets on days on which the Funds' NAV is not calculated. Events affecting the values of portfolio securities that occur between the time their prices are determined and the close of the NYSE will not be reflected in the calculation of NAV unless the Adviser deems that the particular event would affect NAV, in which case an adjustment will be made in such manner as the Adviser in good faith deems appropriate to determine fair market value. Assets or liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated, in determining NAV, into U.S. dollars based on the spot exchange rates, or at such other rates as the Advisor, pursuant to fair value procedures adopted by the Adviser, may determine to be appropriate.

**ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION**

The information provided below supplements the information contained in the Prospectus regarding the purchase and redemption of the Funds' shares.

**How to Buy Shares**

In addition to purchasing shares directly from the Funds, you may purchase shares of the Funds through certain financial intermediaries and their agents that have made arrangements with the Funds and are authorized to buy and sell shares of the Funds (collectively, "Financial Intermediaries"). Investors should contact their Financial

------

Intermediary directly for appropriate instructions, as well as information pertaining to accounts and any service or transaction fees that may be charged. If you transmit your order to these Financial Intermediaries before the close of regular trading (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on a day that the NYSE is open for business, your order will be priced at the Funds' NAV next computed after it is received by the Financial Intermediary. Investors should check with their Financial Intermediary to determine if it participates in these arrangements.

The public offering price of the Funds' shares is the NAV. Shares are purchased at the public offering price next determined after the transfer agent receives your order in good order, as discussed in the Funds' Prospectus. In order to receive that day's public offering price, the transfer agent must receive your order in good order before the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

The Trust reserves the right in its sole discretion (i) to suspend the continued offering of the Funds' shares, (ii) to reject purchase orders in whole or in part when in the judgment of the Advisor or the distributor such rejection is in the best interest of the Funds, and (iii) to reduce or waive the minimum for initial and subsequent investments for certain fiduciary accounts or under circumstances where certain economies can be achieved in sales of the Funds' shares.

In addition to cash purchases, the Funds' shares may be purchased by tendering payment in-kind in the form of shares of stock, bonds or other securities. Any securities used to buy the Funds' shares must be readily marketable, their acquisition consistent with the Funds' objective and otherwise acceptable to the Advisor and the Board.

**Automatic Investment Plan**

As discussed in the Prospectus, the Funds provide an Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP") for the convenience of investors who wish to purchase shares of the Funds on a regular basis. All record keeping and custodial costs of the AIP are paid by the Funds. The market value of the Funds' shares is subject to fluctuation. Prior to participating in the AIP the investor should keep in mind that this plan does not assure a profit nor protect against depreciation in declining markets.

**How to Sell Shares and Delivery of Redemption Proceeds**

You can sell your Fund shares any day the NYSE is open for regular trading, either directly to the Funds or through your Financial Intermediary.

The Funds typically send redemption proceeds on the next business day (a day when the NYSE is open for normal business) after the redemption request is received in good order and prior to market close, regardless of whether the redemption proceeds are sent via check, wire, or automated clearing house (ACH) transfer. Under unusual circumstances, the Funds may suspend redemptions, or postpone payment for up to seven days, as permitted by federal securities law.

The Funds typically expect that they will hold cash or cash equivalents to meet redemption requests. The Funds may also use the proceeds from the sale of portfolio securities to meet redemption requests if consistent with the management of the Funds. In situations in which investment holdings in cash or cash equivalents are not sufficient to meet redemption requests or when the sale of portfolio securities is not sufficient to meet redemption requests, the Funds will typically borrow money through their respective lines of credit. These redemption methods will be used regularly and may also be used in stressed market conditions. The Funds reserve the right to pay redemption proceeds to you in whole or in part through a redemption in-kind as described under "Redemptions In-Kind" below. Redemptions in-kind are typically used to meet redemption requests that are a large percentage of a Fund's net assets in order to minimize the effect of large redemptions on the Fund and its remaining shareholders. Redemptions in-kind may be used regularly in such circumstances and may also be used in stressed market conditions.

------

The Funds may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment during any period when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC or the NYSE is closed for other than weekends and holidays; (b) an emergency exists as determined by the SEC making disposal of portfolio securities or valuation of net assets of the Funds not reasonably practicable; or (c) for such other period as the SEC may permit for the protection of the Funds' shareholders.

The value of shares on redemption or repurchase may be more or less than the investor's cost, depending upon the market value of the Funds' portfolio securities at the time of redemption or repurchase.

**Telephone Redemptions**

Shareholders with telephone transaction privileges established on their account may redeem Fund shares by telephone. Upon receipt of any instructions or inquiries by telephone from shareholders, the Funds or their authorized agents may carry out the instructions and/or to respond to the inquiry consistent with the shareholder's previously established account service options. For joint accounts, instructions or inquiries from either party will be carried out without prior notice to the other account owners. In acting upon telephone instructions, the Funds and their agents use procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that such instructions are genuine. These include recording all telephone calls, requiring pertinent information about the account and sending written confirmation of each transaction to the registered owner.

The transfer agent will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. If the transfer agent fails to employ reasonable procedures, a Fund and the transfer agent may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. If these procedures are followed, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Funds nor their agents will be liable for any loss, liability, cost or expense arising out of any redemption request, including any fraudulent or unauthorized request. For additional information, contact the transfer agent.

**Redemptions In-Kind**

The Trust has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act so that the Funds are obligated to redeem their shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of its net asset value during any 90-day period for any shareholder of a Fund. The Funds have reserved the right to pay the redemption price of their shares in excess of $250,000 or 1% of its net asset value, either totally or partially, by a distribution in-kind of portfolio securities (instead of cash). The securities so distributed would be valued at the same amount as that assigned to them in calculating the NAV for the shares being sold. If a shareholder receives a distribution in-kind, the shareholder could incur brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash and will bear any market risks associated with such securities until they are converted into cash. A redemption in-kind is treated as a taxable transaction and a sale of the redeemed shares, generally resulting in capital gain or loss to you, subject to certain loss limitation rules.

The Funds do not intend to hold any significant percentage of their portfolios in illiquid securities, although the Funds, like virtually all mutual funds, may from time to time hold a small percentage of securities that are illiquid. In the unlikely event the Funds were to elect to make an in-kind redemption, the Funds expect that they would follow the Trust protocol of making such distribution by way of a pro rata distribution of securities that are traded on a public securities market or are otherwise considered liquid pursuant to the Fund's liquidity policies and procedures. Except as otherwise may be approved by the Trustees, the securities that would not be included in an in-kind distribution include (1) unregistered securities which, if distributed, would be required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), as amended; (2) securities issued by entities in countries which (a) restrict or prohibit the holding of securities by non-nationals other than through qualified investment vehicles, such as a fund, or (b) permit transfers of ownership of securities to be effected only by transactions conducted on a local stock exchange; and (3) certain Fund assets that, although they may be liquid

------

and marketable, must be traded through the marketplace or with the counterparty to the transaction in order to effect a change in beneficial ownership.

**DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX INFORMATION**

**Distributions**

Dividends of net investment income and distributions of net capital gains from the sale of securities are generally made annually, as described in the Prospectus. Also, the Funds typically distribute any undistributed net investment income on or about December 31 of each year. Any net capital gains realized through the period ended October 31 of each year will also typically be distributed by December 31 of each year.

Each distribution by the Funds is accompanied by a brief explanation of the form and character of the distribution. In January of each year, the Funds will issue to each shareholder a statement of the federal income tax status of all distributions that relate to the previous year.

A dividend or distribution paid shortly after a purchase of shares by a shareholder would represent, in substance, a partial return of capital (to the extent it is paid on the shares so purchased), even though it would be subject to income taxes.

**Tax Information**

Each series of the Trust is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund has elected and intends to continue to qualify annually as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to comply with all applicable requirements regarding the source of its income, diversification of its assets and the timing and amount of its distributions. The Funds' policy is to distribute to their shareholders all of their investment company taxable income (before the dividends paid deduction) and any net realized capital gains for each fiscal year in a manner that complies with the distribution requirements applicable to regulated investment companies under the Code, so that the Funds will not be subject to any federal income or excise taxes. However, the Funds can give no assurances that their distributions will be sufficient to eliminate all taxes in all periods. In order to avoid a nondeductible excise tax, each Fund must also distribute (or be deemed to have distributed) by December 31 of each calendar year (1) at least 98.0% of its ordinary income for such year, (2) at least 98.2% of the excess of its realized capital gains over its realized capital losses for the 12-month period ending on October 31 during such year and (3) any amounts from the prior calendar year that were not distributed and on which the Funds paid no federal income tax. If a Fund fails to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M, it will be taxed as a corporation.

In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, each Fund must, among other things, derive at least 90% of its gross income each year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to loans of stock and securities, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign currency gains related to investments in stock or securities, or other income (generally including gains from futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to the business of investing in stock, securities or currency, and net income derived from an interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership. Each Fund also must satisfy the following two asset diversification tests. At the end of each quarter of each taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets must be represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. Government securities, the securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities, with such other securities being limited in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets and not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities or the securities of other regulated investment companies), the securities of any two or more issuers (other than the securities of other regulated investment companies) that the Fund controls (by owning 20% or more of their outstanding

------

voting stock) and that are determined to be engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses or related trades or businesses, or the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships. Each Fund must also distribute each taxable year sufficient dividends to its shareholders to claim a dividends paid deduction equal to at least the sum of 90% of the Fund's investment company taxable income before the dividends paid deduction (which generally includes dividends, interest, and the excess of net short short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) and 90% of the Fund's net tax-exempt interest, if any.

The Funds' ordinary income generally consists of interest and dividend income, less expenses. Net realized capital gains for a fiscal period are computed by taking into account any capital loss carryforward of the Funds. As of October 31, 2022, the Funds did not have any capital loss carryforwards.

Distributions of net investment income and net short-term capital gains are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. For individual shareholders, a portion of the distributions paid by the Funds may be qualified dividends currently eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates to the extent the Funds report the amount distributed as a qualifying dividend and certain holding period requirements are met. In the case of corporate shareholders, a portion of the distributions may qualify for the inter-corporate dividends-received deduction to the extent the Funds report the amount distributed as a qualifying dividend and certain holding period requirements are met. The aggregate amount so reported to either individual or corporate shareholders cannot, however, exceed the aggregate amount of qualifying dividends received by the Funds for their taxable year. In view of the Funds' investment policy, it is expected that dividends from domestic corporations will be part of the Funds' gross income and that, accordingly, part of the distributions by the Funds may be eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income by individual shareholders or for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. However, the portion of the Funds' gross income attributable to qualifying dividends is largely dependent on the Funds' investment activities for a particular year and therefore cannot be predicted with any certainty. The deduction may be reduced or eliminated if the Funds' shares held by an individual investor are held for less than 61 days or shares held by a corporate investor are treated as debt-financed or are held for less than 46 days.

For taxable years beginning after 2017 and before 2025, non-corporate taxpayers generally may deduct 20% of "qualified business income" derived either directly or through partnerships or S corporations. For this purpose, "qualified business income" generally includes ordinary real estate investment trust ("REIT") dividends and income derived from master limited partnership ("MLP") investments. Non-corporate shareholders can claim the qualified business income deduction with respect to REIT dividends received by the Fund if the Fund meets certain holding period and reporting requirements. There is currently no mechanism for a Fund, to the extent that the Fund invests in MLPs, to pass through to non-corporate shareholders the character of income derived from MLP investments so as to allow such shareholders to claim this deduction. It is uncertain whether future legislation or other guidance will enable a Fund to pass through to non-corporate shareholders the ability to claim this deduction.

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes and withholding on dividends and interest earned with respect to securities of foreign corporations. Based on the principal investment strategies of the Funds, it is not expected that the Funds will be eligible to pass through to shareholders any credits or deductions with respect to such foreign taxes. The Fund may also be subject to foreign income taxes on gains recognized on the disposition of foreign securities.

Redemption of Fund shares may result in recognition of a taxable gain or loss. Any loss realized upon redemption of shares within 6 months from the date of their purchase will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any amounts treated as distributions of long-term capital gains during such 6-month period. Any loss realized upon a redemption may be disallowed under certain wash sale rules to the extent shares of the Funds are purchased (through reinvestment of distributions or otherwise) within 30 days before or after the redemption.

------

Under the Code, the Funds will be required to report to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") all distributions of ordinary income and capital gains as well as gross proceeds from the redemption or exchange of Fund shares, except in the case of exempt shareholders, which includes most corporations. Pursuant to the backup withholding provisions of the Code, distributions of any taxable income and capital gains and proceeds from the redemption of Fund shares may be subject to withholding of federal income tax at a rate of 24% in the case of non-exempt shareholders who fail to furnish the Funds with their taxpayer identification numbers and with required certifications regarding their status under the federal income tax law. If the withholding provisions are applicable, any such distributions and proceeds, whether taken in cash or reinvested in additional shares, will be reduced by the amounts required to be withheld. Corporate and other exempt shareholders should provide the Funds with their taxpayer identification numbers or certify their exempt status in order to avoid possible erroneous application of backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amount withheld may be credited against a shareholder's ultimate federal income tax liability if proper documentation is provided. The Funds reserve the right to refuse to open an account for any person failing to provide a certified taxpayer identification number.

In addition to the federal income tax, certain individuals, trusts and estates may be subject to a 3.8% Medicare tax. The Medicare tax is imposed on the lesser of: (i) the taxpayer's investment income, net of deductions properly allocable to such income, or (ii) the amount by which the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds ($250,000 for married individuals filing jointly, $200,000 for unmarried individuals and $125,000 for married individuals filing separately). Each Fund's distributions are includable in a shareholder's investment income for purposes of this Medicare tax. In addition, any capital gain realized by a shareholder upon a sale or redemption of Fund shares is includable in such shareholder's investment income for purposes of this Medicare tax.

Distributions and the transactions referred to in the preceding paragraphs may be subject to state and local income taxes, and the tax treatment thereof may differ from the federal income tax treatment.

The foregoing discussion of U.S. federal income tax law relates solely to the application of that law to U.S. citizens or residents and U.S. domestic corporations, estates the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source and trusts that (1) are subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) have a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person. Each shareholder who is not a U.S. person should consider the U.S. and foreign tax consequences of ownership of shares of the Funds, including the possibility that such a shareholder may be subject to a U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or at a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on amounts constituting ordinary income.

**The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA")**. A 30% withholding tax on a Fund's ordinary income generally applies if paid to a foreign entity unless: (i) if the foreign entity is a "foreign financial institution," it undertakes certain due diligence, reporting, withholding and certification obligations, (ii) if the foreign entity is not a "foreign financial institution," it identifies certain of its U.S. investors or (iii) the foreign entity is otherwise excepted under FATCA. If applicable, and subject to any intergovernmental agreement, withholding under FATCA is required generally with respect to ordinary income distributions from the Funds. If withholding is required under FATCA on a payment related to your shares, investors that otherwise would not be subject to withholding (or that otherwise would be entitled to a reduced rate of withholding) on such payment generally will be required to seek a refund or credit from the IRS to obtain the benefits of such exemption or reduction. The Funds will not pay any additional amounts in respect of amounts withheld under FATCA. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the effect of FATCA based on your individual circumstances.

The foregoing discussion of tax law is based on existing provisions of the Code, final and proposed regulations thereunder, and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change. Any such

------

changes could affect the validity of this discussion. The discussion also represents only a general summary of tax law and practice currently applicable to the Funds and certain shareholders therein, and, as such, is subject to change. In particular, the consequences of an investment in shares of the Funds under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdictions are not discussed herein. Each prospective investor should consult his or her own tax advisor to determine the application of the tax law and practice in his or her own particular circumstances.

The advice herein was prepared for the Funds. Any person reviewing this discussion should seek advice based on such person's particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor. The Funds do not intend to seek any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel with respect to any tax issues.

**THE FUNDS' PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER AND DISTRIBUTOR**

Quasar Distributors, LLC, 111 East Kilbourn Avenue, Suite 2200, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 ("Quasar"), serves as the Funds' principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds' shares. Pursuant to a distribution agreement between the Funds and Quasar (the "Distribution Agreement"), Quasar acts as the Funds' principal underwriter and distributor and provides certain administrative services and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Funds' shares. Quasar is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").

The Distribution Agreement between the Funds and Quasar will continue in effect only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board or by vote of a majority of each Fund's outstanding voting securities and, in either case, by a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Distribution Agreement is terminable without penalty by the Trust on behalf of each Fund on 60 days' written notice when authorized either by a majority vote of each Fund's shareholders or by vote of a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, or by Quasar on 60 days' written notice, and will automatically terminate in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act).

**Distribution Plan**

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Retail Class shares of the Funds under which each Fund pays the Distributor an amount which is accrued daily and paid quarterly, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Retail Class shares of each Fund. Amounts paid under the Plan, by each Fund, are paid to the Distributor to compensate broker-dealers and service providers that provide distribution-related services to the Retail Class shares for the costs of the services provided and the expenses borne in the distribution of each Fund's Retail Class shares, including overhead and telephone expenses; printing and distribution of prospectuses and reports used in connection with the offering of each Fund's Retail Class shares to prospective investors; and preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature and advertising materials. The services provided by selected dealers pursuant to the Plan are primarily designed to promote the sale of shares of each Fund and include the furnishing of office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel and assistance to each Fund in servicing such shareholders. The services provided by the administrators pursuant to the Plan are designed to provide support services to each Fund and include establishing and maintaining shareholders' accounts and records, processing purchase and redemption transactions, answering routine client inquiries regarding each Fund and providing other services to each Fund as may be required.

Under the Plan, the Trustees will be furnished quarterly with information detailing the amount of expenses paid under the Plan and the purposes for which payments were made. The Plan may be terminated at any time by vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons. Continuation of the Plan is considered by such Trustees no less frequently than annually. With the exception of the Distributor, in its capacity as the Funds' principal underwriter and distribution coordinator, no interested person has or had a direct or indirect financial interest in the Plan or any related agreement.

------

While there is no assurance that the expenditures of each Fund's assets to finance distribution of shares will have the anticipated results, the Board believes there is a reasonable likelihood that one or more of such benefits will result, and because the Board is in a position to monitor the distribution expenses, it is able to determine the benefit of such expenditures in deciding whether to continue the Plan.

The tables below show the amount of Rule 12b-1 fees incurred and the allocation of such fees by Retail Class shares of the Funds for the fiscal period ended October 31, 2022.

**Sub-Accounting Service Fees** 

In addition to the fees that the Funds may pay to its Transfer Agent, the Board has authorized the Funds to pay service fees, at the annual rate of up to 0.10% of applicable average net assets or $22 per account, to intermediaries such as banks, broker-dealers, financial advisers or other financial institutions, for sub-administration, sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping (collectively, "sub-accounting services") and other shareholder services associated with shareholders whose shares are held of record in omnibus, networked, or other group accounts or accounts traded through registered securities clearing agents. Any sub-accounting fees paid by the Funds are included in the total amount of "Other Expenses" listed in each Fund's Fees and Expenses table in the Prospectus.

For the fiscal period ended October 31, 2022, the Funds paid the following amounts for sub-accounting services:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Sub-Accounting Services Fees** | |
| Mid Cap Fund | $756109 |
| Large Cap Fund | $136777 |
| Small Cap Fund | $161053 |

**MARKETING AND SUPPORT PAYMENTS**

The Advisor, out of its own resources and without additional cost to the Funds or their shareholders, may provide additional cash payments or other compensation to certain Financial Intermediaries who sell shares of the Funds. These payments may be divided into categories as follows:

**Support Payments.**

Payments may be made by the Advisor to certain Financial Intermediaries in connection with supervisory support services such as, back-office integration, account establishment and investor support services. In addition, such support services may be a pre-requisite for the eligibility of the Funds to be offered in certain programs and/or in connection with meetings between the Funds' representatives and Financial Intermediaries and their sales representatives. Such meetings may be held for various purposes, including providing education and training about the Funds and other general financial topics to assist Financial Intermediaries' sales representatives in making informed recommendations to, and decisions on behalf of, their clients.

**Entertainment, Conferences and Events.**

The Advisor also may pay cash or non-cash compensation to sales representatives of financial intermediaries in the form of (i) occasional gifts; (ii) occasional meals, tickets or other entertainments; and/or (iii) sponsorship support for the financial intermediary's client seminars and cooperative advertising. In addition, the Advisor pays for exhibit space or sponsorships at regional or national events of financial intermediaries.

The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of additional payments or other compensation as described above by financial intermediaries may provide such intermediaries and/or their salespersons with an incentive to favor sales of shares of the Funds, and other mutual funds whose affiliates make similar compensation available, over sale of shares of mutual funds (or non-mutual fund investments) not making such payments. You may wish to take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendations relating to the Fund shares.

**APPENDIX A**

**DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES RATINGS**

Short-Term Credit Ratings

An S&P Global Ratings short-term issue credit rating is generally assigned to those obligations considered short-term in the relevant market. The following summarizes the rating categories used by S&P Global Ratings for short-term issues:

"A-1" - A short-term obligation rated "A-1" is rated in the highest category by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

"A-2" - A short-term obligation rated "A-2" is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is satisfactory.

"A-3" - A short-term obligation rated "A-3" exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken an obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"B" - A short-term obligation rated "B" is regarded as vulnerable and has significant speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments.

"C" - A short-term obligation rated "C" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"D" - A short-term obligation rated "D" is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the "D" rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within any stated grace period. However, any stated grace period longer than five business days will be treated as five business days. The "D" rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to "D" if it is subject to a distressed exchange offer.

Local Currency and Foreign Currency Ratings - S&P Global Ratings' issuer credit ratings make a distinction between foreign currency ratings and local currency ratings. A foreign currency rating on an issuer will differ from the local currency rating on it when the obligor has a different capacity to meet its obligations denominated in its local currency, versus obligations denominated in a foreign currency.

"NR" - This indicates that a rating has not been assigned or is no longer assigned.

Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") short-term ratings are forward-looking opinions of the relative credit risks of financial obligations with an original maturity of thirteen months or less and reflect both on the likelihood of a default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment.

Moody's employs the following designations to indicate the relative repayment ability of rated issuers:

"P-1" - Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-1 have a superior ability to repay short-term debt obligations.

"P-2" - Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-2 have a strong ability to repay short-term debt obligations.

"P-3" - Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-3 have an acceptable ability to repay short-term obligations.

"NP" - Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.

------

"NR" - Is assigned to an unrated issuer.

Fitch, Inc. / Fitch Ratings Ltd. ("Fitch") short-term issuer or obligation rating is based in all cases on the short-term vulnerability to default of the rated entity and relates to the capacity to meet financial obligations in accordance with the documentation governing the relevant obligation. Short-term deposit ratings may be adjusted for loss severity. Short-term ratings are assigned to obligations whose initial maturity is viewed as "short-term" based on market convention. Typically, this means up to 13 months for corporate, sovereign, and structured obligations and up to 36 months for obligations in U.S. public finance markets. The following summarizes the rating categories used by Fitch for short-term obligations:

"F1" - Securities possess the highest short-term credit quality. This designation indicates the strongest intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added "+" to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.

"F2" - Securities possess good short-term credit quality. This designation indicates good intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments.

"F3" - Securities possess fair short-term credit quality. This designation indicates that the intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate.

"B" - Securities possess speculative short-term credit quality. This designation indicates minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus heightened vulnerability to near term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.

"C" - Securities possess high short-term default risk. Default is a real possibility.

"RD" - Restricted default. Indicates an entity that has defaulted on one or more of its financial commitments, although it continues to meet other financial obligations. Typically applicable to entity ratings only.

"D" - Default. Indicates a broad-based default event for an entity, or the default of a short-term obligation.

Plus (+) or minus (-) - The "F1" rating may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show the relative status within that major rating category.

"NR" - Is assigned to an unrated issue of a rated issuer.

The DBRS® Ratings Limited ("DBRS") short-term debt rating scale provides an opinion on the risk that an issuer will not meet its short-term financial obligations in a timely manner. Ratings are based on quantitative and qualitative considerations relevant to the issuer and the relative ranking of claims. The R-1 and R-2 rating categories are further denoted by the sub-categories "(high)", "(middle)", and "(low)".

The following summarizes the ratings used by DBRS for commercial paper and short-term debt:

"R-1 (high)" - Short-term debt rated "R-1 (high)" is of the highest credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is exceptionally high. Unlikely to be adversely affected by future events.

"R-1 (middle)" - Short-term debt rated "R-1 (middle)" is of superior credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is very high. Differs from "R-1 (high)" by a relatively modest degree. Unlikely to be significantly vulnerable to future events.

"R-1 (low)" - Short-term debt rated "R-1 (low)" is of good credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is substantial. Overall strength is not as favorable as higher rating categories. May be vulnerable to future events, but qualifying negative factors are considered manageable.

"R-2 (high)" - Short-term debt rated "R-2 (high)" is considered to be at the upper end of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events.

------

"R-2 (middle)" - Short-term debt rated "R-2 (middle)" is considered to be of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events or may be exposed to other factors that could reduce credit quality.

"R-2 (low)" - Short-term debt rated "R-2 (low)" is considered to be at the lower end of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events. A number of challenges are present that could affect the issuer's ability to meet such obligations.

"R-3" - Short-term debt rated "R-3" is considered to be at the lowest end of adequate credit quality. There is a capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due. May be vulnerable to future events and the certainty of meeting such obligations could be impacted by a variety of developments.

"R-4" - Short-term debt rated "R-4" is considered to be of speculative credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is uncertain.

"R-5" - Short-term debt rated "R-5" is considered to be of highly speculative credit quality. There is a high level of uncertainty as to the capacity to meet short-term financial obligations as they fall due.

"D" - Short-term debt rated "D" is assigned when the issuer has filed under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or winding up statute or there is a failure to satisfy an obligation after the exhaustion of grace periods, a downgrade to "D" may occur. DBRS may also use "SD" (Selective Default) in cases where only some securities are impacted, such as the case of a "distressed exchange".

Long-Term Credit Ratings

The following summarizes the ratings used by S&P Global Ratings for long-term issues:

"AAA" - An obligation rated "AAA" has the highest rating assigned by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is extremely strong.

"AA" - An obligation rated "AA" differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is very strong.

"A" - An obligation rated "A" is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong.

"BBB" - An obligation rated "BBB" exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"BB," "B," "CCC," "CC" and "C" - Obligations rated "BB," "B," "CCC," "CC" and "C" are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. "BB" indicates the least degree of speculation and "C" the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposure to adverse conditions.

"BB" - An obligation rated "BB" is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"B" - An obligation rated "B" is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated "BB", but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"CCC" - An obligation rated "CCC" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of

------

adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"CC" - An obligation rated "CC" is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The "CC" rating is used when a default has not yet occurred but S&P Global Ratings expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default.

"C" - An obligation rated "C" is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, and the obligation is expected to have lower relative seniority or lower ultimate recovery compared with obligations that are rated higher.

"D" - An obligation rated "D" is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the "D" rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within five business days in the absence of a stated grace period or within the earlier of the stated grace period or 30 calendar days. The

"D" rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. An obligation's rating is lowered to "D" if it is subject to a distressed exchange offer.

Plus (+) or minus (-) - The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories.

"NR" - This indicates that a rating has not been assigned, or is no longer assigned.

Local Currency and Foreign Currency Risks - S&P Global Ratings' issuer credit ratings make a distinction between foreign currency ratings and local currency ratings. An issuer's foreign currency rating will differ from its local currency rating on it when the obligor has a different capacity to meet its obligations denominated in its local currency, versus obligations denominated in a foreign currency.

Moody's long-term ratings are forward-looking opinions of the relative credit risks of financial obligations with an original maturity of one year or more. Such ratings reflect both on the likelihood of default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment. The following summarizes the ratings used by Moody's for long-term debt:

"Aaa" - Obligations rated "Aaa" are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the lowest level of credit risk.

"Aa" - Obligations rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.

"A" - Obligations rated "A" are judged to be upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.

"Baa" - Obligations rated "Baa" are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.

"Ba" - Obligations rated "Ba" are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk.

"B" - Obligations rated "B" are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.

"Caa" - Obligations rated "Caa" are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.

"Ca" - Obligations rated "Ca" are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.

"C" - Obligations rated "C" are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.

------

Note: Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from "Aa" through "Caa." The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

"NR" - Is assigned to unrated obligations.

The following summarizes long-term ratings used by Fitch:

"AAA" - Securities considered to be of the highest credit quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in cases of exceptionally strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

"AA" - Securities considered to be of very high credit quality. "AA" ratings denote expectations of very low credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.

"A" - Securities considered to be of high credit quality. "A" ratings denote expectations of low credit risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

"BBB" - Securities considered to be of good credit quality. "BBB" ratings indicate that expectations of credit risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.

"BB" - Securities considered to be speculative. "BB" ratings indicate that there is an elevated vulnerability to credit risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be met.

"B" - Securities considered to be highly speculative. "B" ratings indicate that material credit risk is present.

"CCC" - A "CCC" rating indicates that substantial credit risk is present.

"CC" - A "CC" rating indicates very high levels of credit risk.

"C" - A "C" rating indicates exceptionally high levels of credit risk.

Defaulted obligations typically are not assigned "RD" or "D" ratings but are instead rated in the "CCC" to "C" rating categories, depending on their recovery prospects and other relevant characteristics. Fitch believes that this approach better aligns obligations that have comparable overall expected loss but varying vulnerability to default and loss.

Plus (+) or minus (-) may be appended to a rating to denote relative status within major rating categories. Such suffixes are not added to the "AAA" obligation rating category, or to corporate finance obligation ratings in the categories below "CCC".

"NR" - Is assigned to an unrated issue of a rated issuer.

The DBRS long-term rating scale provides an opinion on the risk of default. That is, the risk that an issuer will fail to satisfy its financial obligations in accordance with the terms under which an obligation has been issued. Ratings are based on quantitative and qualitative considerations relevant to the issuer, and the relative ranking of claims. All rating categories other than AAA and D also contain subcategories "(high)" and "(low)". The absence of either a "(high)" or "(low)" designation indicates the rating is in the middle of the category. The following summarizes the ratings used by DBRS for long-term debt:

"AAA" - Long-term debt rated "AAA" is of the highest credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is exceptionally high and unlikely to be adversely affected by future events.

------

"AA" - Long-term debt rated "AA" is of superior credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is considered high. Credit quality differs from "AAA" only to a small degree. Unlikely to be significantly vulnerable to future events.

"A" - Long-term debt rated "A" is of good credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is substantial, but of lesser credit quality than "AA." May be vulnerable to future events, but qualifying negative factors are considered manageable.

"BBB" - Long-term debt rated "BBB" is of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is considered acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events.

"BB" - Long-term debt rated "BB" is of speculative, non-investment grade credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is uncertain. Vulnerable to future events.

"B" - Long-term debt rated "B" is of highly speculative credit quality. There is a high level of uncertainty as to the capacity to meet financial obligations.

"CCC", "CC" and "C" - Long-term debt rated in any of these categories is of very highly speculative credit quality. In danger of defaulting on financial obligations. There is little difference between these three categories, although "CC" and "C" ratings are normally applied to obligations that are seen as highly likely to default, or subordinated to obligations rated in the "CCC" to "B" range. Obligations in respect of which default has not technically taken place but is considered inevitable may be rated in the "C" category.

"D" - A security rated "D" is assigned when the issuer has filed under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or winding up statute or there is a failure to satisfy an obligation after the exhaustion of grace periods, a downgrade to "D" may occur. DBRS may also use "SD" (Selective Default) in cases where only some securities are impacted, such as the case of a "distressed exchange".

Municipal Note Ratings

An S&P Global Ratings U.S. municipal note rating reflects S&P Global Ratings' opinion about the liquidity factors and market access risks unique to the notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely receive a note rating. Notes with an original maturity of more than three years will most likely receive a long-term debt rating. In determining which type of rating, if any, to assign, S&P Global Ratings' analysis will review the following considerations:

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amortization schedule - the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note; and

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Source of payment - the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.

Municipal Short-Term Note rating symbols are as follows:

"SP-1" - A municipal note rated "SP-1" exhibits a strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.

"SP-2" - A municipal note rated "SP-2" exhibits a satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.

"SP-3" - A municipal note rated "SP-3" exhibits a speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

"D" - This rating is assigned upon failure to pay the note when due, completion of a distressed exchange offer, or the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions.

------

Moody's uses the global short-term Prime rating scale (listed above under Short-Term Credit Ratings) for commercial paper issued by U.S. municipalities and nonprofits. These commercial paper programs may be backed by external letters of credit or liquidity facilities, or by an issuer's self-liquidity.

For other short-term municipal obligations, Moody's uses one of two other short-term rating scales, the Municipal Investment Grade ("MIG") and Variable Municipal Investment Grade ("VMIG") scales provided below.

Moody's uses the MIG scale for U.S. municipal cash flow notes, bond anticipation notes and certain other short-term obligations, which typically mature in three years or less. Under certain circumstances, Moody's uses the MIG scale for bond anticipation notes with maturities of up to five years.

MIG Scale

"MIG-1" - This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

"MIG-2" - This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.

"MIG-3" - This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.

"SG" - This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.

"NR" - Is assigned to an unrated obligation.

In the case of variable rate demand obligations ("VRDOs"), a two-component rating is assigned: a long or short-term debt rating and a demand obligation rating. The long-term rating addresses the issuer's ability to meet scheduled principal and interests payments. The short-term demand obligation rating addresses the ability of the issuer or the liquidity provider to make payments associated with the purchase-price-upon demand feature ("demand feature") of the VRDO. The short-term demand obligation rating uses the VMIG scale. VMIG ratings with liquidity support use as an input the short-term Counterparty Risk Assesment of the support provider, or the long-term rating of the underlying obligor in the absence of third party liquidity support. Transitions of VMIG Ratings of demand obligations with conditional liquidity support differ from transitions on the Prime scale to reflect the risk that external liquidity support will terminate if the issuer's long-term rating drops below investment grade.

Moody's typically assigns the VMIG short-term demand obligation rating if the frequency of the demand feature is less than every three years. If the frequency of the demand feature is less than three years but the purchase price is payable only with remarketing proceeds, the short-term demand obligation rating is "NR".

"VMIG-1" - This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

"VMIG-2" - This designation denotes strong credit quality. Good protection is afforded by the strong short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

"VMIG-3" - This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Adequate protection is afforded by the satisfactory short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

"SG" - This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Demand features rated in this category may be supported by a liquidity provider that does not have a sufficiently strong short-term rating or may lack the structural and/or legal protections necessary to ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

------

"NR" - Is assigned to an unrated obligation.

About Credit Ratings

An S&P Global Ratings issue credit rating is a forward-looking opinion about the creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific financial obligation, a specific class of financial obligations, or a specific financial program (including ratings on medium-term note programs and commercial paper programs). It takes into consideration the creditworthiness of guarantors, insurers, or other forms of credit enhancement on the obligation and takes into account the currency in which the obligation is denominated. The opinion reflects S&P Global Ratings' view of the obligor's capacity and willingness to meet its financial commitments as they come due, and this opinion may assess terms, such as collateral security and subordination, which could affect ultimate payment in the event of default.

Ratings assigned on Moody's global long-term and short-term rating scales are forward-looking opinions of the relative credit risks of financial obligations issued by non-financial corporates, financial institutions, structured finance vehicles, project finance vehicles, and public sector entities.

Fitch's credit ratings relating to issuers are an opinion on the relative ability of an entity to meet financial commitments, such as interest, preferred dividends, repayment of principal, insurance claims or counterparty obligations. Fitch credit ratings are used by investors as indications of the likelihood of receiving the money owed to them in accordance with the terms on which they invested. Fitch's credit ratings cover the global spectrum of corporate, sovereign financial, bank, insurance, and public finance entities (including supranational and sub-national entities) and the securities or other obligations they issue, as well as structured finance securities backed by receivables or other financial assets.

Credit ratings provided by DBRS are forward-looking opinions about credit risk which reflect the creditworthiness of an issuer, rated entity, security and/or obligation. Credit ratings are not statements of fact. While historical statistics and performance can be important considerations, credit ratings are not based solely on such; they include subjective considerations and involve expectations for future performance that cannot be guaranteed. To the extent that future events and economic conditions do not match expectations, credit ratings assigned to issuers, entities, securities and/or obligations can change. Credit ratings are also based on approved and applicable methodologies ("Methodologies"), which are periodically updated and when material changes are deemed necessary, this may also lead to rating changes.

Credit ratings typically provide an opinion on the risk that investors may not be repaid in accordance with the terms under which the obligation was issued. In some cases, credit ratings may also include consideration for the relative ranking of claims and recovery, should default occur. Credit ratings are meant to provide opinions on relative measures of risk and are not based on expectations of any specific default probability, nor are they meant to predict such.

The data and information on which DBRS bases its opinions is not audited or verified by DBRS, although, DBRS conducts a reasonableness review of information received and relied upon in accordance with its Methodologies and policies.

DBRS uses rating symbols as a concise method of expressing its opinion to the market, but there are a limited number of rating categories for the possible slight risk differentials that exist across the rating spectrum and DBRS does not assert that credit ratings in the same category are of "exactly" the same quality.

**PROXY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES**

**PROXY POLICIES**

**Responsibility**

<u>Congress Asset Management Company's responsibility as an investment manager and plan fiduciary, as outlined in rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and subsequent Department of Labor policy statements, includes the duty to vote proxies on behalf of our clients when proxy voting authority has been delegated to us.</u>

<u>Congress Asset Management Company accepts its fiduciary responsibility to vote proxies under these circumstances. This statement is intended to set forth those policies and guidelines to be followed in carrying out our responsibility.</u>

**General Principles of Voting**

<u>Proxy voting rights have been declared by the Department of Labor to be valuable plan assets and therefore must be exercised in accordance with the fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence. This policy statement has been carefully crafted to meet the requirements of loyalty and prudence and will be employed by the Proxy Committee (the "Proxy Committee") in its proxy voting procedures and decisions.</u>

<u>The duty of loyalty requires that a voting fiduciary exercise its proxy voting authority solely in the interests of its clients, or plan participants and beneficiaries, and for the exclusive purpose of providing plan benefits to participants and beneficiaries. The voting fiduciary is prohibited from subordinating the interests of participants and beneficiaries to unrelated objectives.</u>

<u>The duty of prudence requires that proxy voting authority be exercised with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence that a similarly situated prudent person knowledgeable in such matters would exercise. In keeping with its fiduciary responsibilities, Congress Asset Management Company will vote proxies in accordance with the "economic best interests" of its clients, plan participants and beneficiaries. Congress Asset Management Company will consider the long-term impact of business plans on all affected parties including shareholders, debt holders, employees, retired workers, and communities in which the firm operates.</u>

**Decisions Free of Outside Influence**

<u>Generally, Congress Asset Management Company will vote on the recommendation of the issuer's management. However, Congress shall take into consideration the general positions of trustees and other fiduciaries in deciding how to vote proxies. Congress Asset Management Company currently utilizes the services of Broadridge Investor Communications, an independent administrator of proxy voting services. Such services may include voting execution, comprehensive reporting, and supporting justification. However, any influence imposed upon us by a person or persons who have a direct personal or financial interest in the outcome will be rejected as a violation of ERISA and our moral obligation to plan participants, and clients. On contested issues the guiding principle shall be the long term "economic best interests" of all affected parties. The interest of any one group shall not dominate the decision to the detriment of other affected parties.</u>

<u>Clients and prospective clients should be aware that Congress Asset Management typically follows the recommendation of the AFL-CIO when voting proxies for Taft-Hartley clients, while at the same time actively soliciting new business from the Taft-Hartley market. Voting to such recommendations may at times be different from how we vote our other clients' proxies and in opposition to the interests of such other clients. In addition, upon a client's request, Congress will engage Glass Lewis for ESG voting recommendations.</u>

<u>Congress Asset Management at the direction of a client's Investment Policy statement has the ability to direct proxy voting decisions to a 3rd party proxy advice vendor. These voting recommendations may at times be different from how we vote other clients' proxies and in opposition to the interests of such other clients.</u>

**PROXY PROCEDURES**

**Proxy Committee**

<u>The Proxy Committee shall have responsibility for setting the proxy voting policy at Congress Asset Management Company. Proxies will be voted in the economic best interest of each individual client, ERISA plan participant, and beneficiaries. The Proxy Committee will use available resources as needed to assist in evaluating proxy issues and setting policies that are appropriate for each client. Congress Asset Management Company has an agreement with Broadridge Investor Communications to provide integrated third-party research and electronic, automated, rules-based voting capabilities via the Broadridge ProxyEdge service for each individual proxy.</u>

<u>In the event of a vote that falls outside of the standard proxy voting rules for Congress Asset Management Company, the Proxy Committee will meet to review a specific vote. When the Proxy Committee reaches a decision concerning the proxy vote in question, Broadridge ProxyEdge shall be instructed to vote accordingly and no further action shall be required. A simple majority of the Proxy Committee shall be required for a final ruling on proxy issues.</u>

------

**Record Keeping**

1)Proxy Committee minutes and meeting material including the basis for any voting decision including whether the advice of any individual outside of the organization was acted upon.

2)Records will be maintained detailing how proxies were voted, and for which accounts they were voted.

<u>Records of proxy voting will be made available to Clients and ERISA Plan Sponsors upon a written request by email to proxies@congressasset.com or by mail to Congress Asset Management Company, 2 Seaport Lane, 5th Floor, Boston, MA 02210.</u>

Reference is made to Article VII of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust (previously filed with the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 33-12213) on December 29, 1995), Article VI of Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws (previously filed with the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 33-12213) on February 18, 2003), and Paragraph 6 of the Distribution Agreement (previously filed with the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 33-12213 on June 15, 2009). With respect to the Registrant, the general effect of these provisions is to indemnify any person (Trustee, director, officer, employee or agent, among others) who was or is a party to any proceeding by reason of their actions performed in their official or duly authorized capacity on behalf of the Trust. With respect to the distributor, the general effect of the relevant provisions is to indemnify those entities for claims arising out of any untrue statement or material fact contained in the Funds' Registration Statement, reports to shareholders or advertising and sales literature.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to Rule 484 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "1933 Act") the Registrant furnishes the following undertaking: "Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue."

**Item 31. Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to the Advisers, the response to this Item will be incorporated by reference to the Advisers' Uniform Applications for Investment Adviser Registration ("Form ADV") on file with the SEC. Each Adviser's Form ADV may be obtained, free of charge, at the SEC's website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.

## Ex-99.(P)(V)

**Congress Asset Management**

**(the "Company")**

**CODE OF ETHICS**

**March 31, 2022**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BACKGROUND**

Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Advisers Act") requires all investment advisers registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to adopt a Code of Ethics that sets forth standards of conduct and requires compliance with federal securities laws. Additionally, Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") requires investment advisers to mutual funds to adopt a written Code of Ethics and to report any material compliance violations to such mutual fund(s') board.

This Code of Ethics is intended to reflect fiduciary principals that govern the conduct of Congress Asset Management (the "Company") and its associates in those situations where the Company acts as an investment adviser as defined under the Advisers Act when providing investment advice to clients ("Advisory Clients").

This Code of Ethics also provides for certain personal trading restrictions, reporting and preclearance obligations, for those associates designated as an "Access Person" as defined under the Advisers Act and Appendix 1, of this Code of Ethics.

The Company utilizes MyComplianceOffice ("MCO"), an automated compliance system, to assist the Chief Compliance Officer (the "CCO") with administering the Company's Code of Ethics.

This Code of Ethics shall be reviewed and signed by all Access Persons of the Company upon hire, following material changes to this Code of Ethics and annually thereafter.

**B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;STANDARDS OF CONDUCT**

The Company and each of its associates shall at all times:

Act with integrity, competence, dignity, and in an ethical manner when dealing with the public, clients, prospects and fellow associates that will reflect credit on the Company.

Place the interests of clients first, ahead of their own and others.

Strive to maintain and improve their professional skills and the professional skills of others in the Company.

Exercise reasonable care, diligence and professional judgment in performing each's responsibilities.

Maintain knowledge of, and comply with, all applicable federal and state laws, rules, regulations and the Company's policies and procedures, including this Code of Ethics.

Not knowingly participate or assist in any violation of such laws, rules or regulations or Company policies.

Escalate to either their manager, executive officer or CCO violations of applicable law, regulation, policy or, suspicions of wrongdoing by his/herself, of other associates, contractors, interns, etc.

Embrace a culture of compliance and sustain the Company's ideals described above.

This Code of Ethics prohibits all associates of the Company from engaging fraudulent activities. Specifically, it is unlawful and prohibited for any Access Person to:

oemploy any device, scheme or artifice to defraud an advisory client;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

omake any untrue statement of a material fact to an advisory client or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made to an advisory client, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;

oto engage in any act, practice or course of business that operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit on an advisory client; or

oto engage in any manipulative practice with respect to an advisory client.

*ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF CHARTERED FINANCIAL ANALYSTS*

Company associates who are designated as a CFA shall also be guided by the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standard of Professional Conduct ("CFA Code"). A copy of the CFA Code is included as Appendix 2 of this Code of Ethics.

*REPORTING AND ESCALATION OF VIOLATIONS AND/OR SUSPICIONS OF WRONGDOING* 

The Company's Standard of Conduct requires each associate to escalate violations of applicable law, regulation, policy or suspicions of wrongdoing to their manager, an officer of the firm and/or the CCO.

Managers and officers obtaining such information from other associates should escalate such to the CCO.

An associate may submit directly to the CCO, anonymously or in-person, violations of applicable law, regulation, policy or suspicions of wrongdoing.

The CCO shall research and investigate such matters, determine the relevance and validity of such matter and recommend to the Company a course of action.

The Company recognizes that, despite its culture of compliance and its Standards of Conduct, escalation of compliance violations and suspicions of wrongdoing may be stressful to certain associates who harbor fear of criticism and/or retaliation by the Company or its associates. The Company recognizes that such stress may create an unwanted obstacle to escalating actual or potential compliance violations or acts of wrongdoing. Hence:

***The Company, its officers, associates or contractors shall not initiate or tolerate acts of retaliation, or indications which may create a real or perceived threat of retaliation, against an associate, who in good faith, reports violations of applicable law, regulation or policy or reports suspicions of wrongdoing.***

***Any act of intimidation or retaliation by an officer, associate or contractor shall be punishable up to and including termination.***

**C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PERSONAL SECURITIES ACCOUNTS AND PRECLEARANCE OF PERSONAL SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS**

The Company allows Access Persons to maintain personal securities accounts, provided any such personal investing by the Access Person is in compliance with this Code of Ethics.

No Access Person may obtain direct or indirect beneficial ownership in an IPO or Limited Offering or, any Reportable Security in which he or she has direct or indirect beneficial ownership, without first obtaining preclearance from the CCO or his designee ("Designated Officer").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

*PRECLEARANCE PROCEDURES*

The Company utilizes MCO to provide a platform for associates to request approval for personal securities trades and for the Company to administer the personal trading pre-clearance process.

The Company has adopted the following procedures regarding preclearance of personal trading in Reportable Securities:

The Compliance and Research groups administer a "Restricted List" constituting issuer securities held, or under consideration to be held in the Company's strategy models, including model-substitute securities (e.g., alternative security selections due to client restrictions or client direction).

Each preclearance request in a Reportable Security must be submitted via MCO.

Each preclearance request must include the following information:

oRequest type (Equities/ETFs/Funds, Fixed Income, Option, IPO, Other)

oCompany Name/Identifier/Ticker

oAccount

oAction (Buy/Sell)

oNumber of Shares, Par Value, Etc.

oTrade Date

*MCO will not allow a pre-clearance request to go through without the information above!*

Personal trade requests in issuers which match the Company's Restricted List <u>AND</u> have been coded by compliance as either on the trading desk, or actively considered to be part of a model change, will be automatically denied.

Personal trade requests in other issuers matching the Company's Restricted List, (i.e., not under consideration to be part of a model change) must receive approval from the Designated Officer (John O'Reilly) or his/her back-up before the trades are executed. The following employees have the authority to approve trades in the event the Designated Officer is unavailable:

oGregg O'Keefe – EVP, Portfolio Manager

oDan Lagan – CIO and President

If approved, approval is valid for the requested day only. If the Access Person making the request does not trade on that day, a new pre-clearance request must be submitted.

*No Designated Person shall be granted permission on MCO to preclear his or her trades or review his or her own report(s). One of the three Designated Person's back-ups, as mentioned above, shall review such report(s) or preclearance requests.*

*EXCEPTIONS TO PRECLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS*

Transactions in Reportable Securities held in accounts where the Access Person has no direct or indirect influence or control of such account's transactions do not have to be precleared

Transactions in municipal bonds, direct and indirect obligations of the United States government and its agencies do not have to be precleared (but must be reported pursuant to Section D of this Code of Ethics)

Transactions effected pursuant to the Company's 401-k Plan, an automatic investment plan, automatic withdrawal plan, or automatic rebalancing plan do not have to be precleared

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

Transactions in ETFs and open ended mutual funds, except for Reportable Funds, do not have to be precleared.

Transactions in Cryptocurrencies, except for investments in ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings). Please note that digital wallets are not considered accounts, however the account that holds the cryptocurrency is reportable.

*PROHIBITED TRADING PRACTICES*

No Access Person may trade ahead of an advisory client account- a practice known as "front-running."

No Access Person may act upon, misuse or disclose any material non-public information (i.e., inside information).

*<u>30 DAY HOLDING PERIOD</u>*

Each Access Person must hold any security they have bought for at least 30 calendar days before selling.

The 30-day holding requirement is at the issuer level (i.e. a tax lot bought outside of 30 days cannot be sold if additional shares of the same security are bought within 30 days).

A security may be sold before the 30-day holding period is up if it is being sold at a loss. Should the sale result in a gain, such gain must be disgorged and donated to a charity, unless disgorgement is waived by the CCO based on reasons of hardship (see below) or other facts and circumstances deem valid by the CCO. A security may be sold before the 30-day holding period is up if the Access Person can evidence reasons of 'hardship' to the CCO. Examples of hardship selling could be to: make payments of tuition, purchasing a house, funding a family emergency, etc. The CCO shall determine what constitutes a hardship based on the facts and circumstances presented by the Access Person.

*<u>OPTIONS TRADING</u>*

*<u>Access Persons are allowed to trade options contracts provided that the options contract is covered and the options contract follows the 30 day holding rule.</u>*

*<u>Options trading is subject to preclearance, unless the underlying security is an ETF.</u>*

*<u>Access Persons may not transact in options in accounts that are not accessible via an electronic feed in the MCO system.</u>*

*<u>CRYPTOCURRENCY</u>*

Access Persons may own and trade cryptocurrencies

If a cryptocurrency is traded on the decentralized exchange, there are no holdings or transaction reporting requirements.

If an associate participates in an ICO, the ICO must be entered into MCO and precleared, just as if it were a private equity participation.

Associates must register and report all crypto related accounts in MCO (e.g., Coinbase, etc.).

oAn Associate opening an account in-which compliance is not familiar with will need to explain the account's utilities and how it will be used.

Transactions in cryptocurrencies, excluding ICO's (see above), do not need to be individually reported in MCO.

In addition, an Access Person who is registered with FINRA under Quasar, must report such accounts in Quest CE.

**D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;REPORTS REQUIRED FROM ACCESS PERSONS**

All Access Persons are required to open an account in MCO (with assistance from Compliance). Each Access Person must authorize their broker/dealer or custodian to provide daily securities holdings feeds to MCO or, if the daily feed is not available from a particular custodian, the Access Person must provide duplicate monthly statements to Compliance or directly to MCO. All month-end holdings and transaction data will be entered into the MCO system, for the Company to review.

Date of the transaction, the title, the interest rate and maturity date (if applicable), the number of shares and the principal amount of each covered security involved

The nature of the transaction (purchase, sale, etc.)

Name of the broker, dealer or bank

Within thirty days after each calendar quarter-end, each Access Person must log-in to MCO and must:

Confirm each securities account recorded in MCO

Update MCO for any account(s) not recorded in MCO

*Note: Discrepancies in Accounts, holdings or transactions on MCO should be escalated to Compliance who will assist the associate in updating MCO. The Access Person should not attest in MCO until updates are complete* 

*MCO will provide Compliance with a report of new accounts created. The report must include the broker, the date the account was established, and the date of the report.*

Confirm each transaction in a Reportable Security was recorded in MCO during the quarter
