| 2 | North Square Investments, LLC ("North Square" or the "Adviser"), the Fund's investment adviser, has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for or reimburse operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses (excluding any taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, any acquired fund fees and expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 0.93% and 0.68% for the Class A shares and Class I shares, respectively. This agreement is in effect until September 30, 2026, and it may be terminated before that date only by the Trust's Board of Trustees. North Square is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Fund, subject to certain limitations, of fees waived, payments made or expenses reimbursed to the Fund for a period ending 36 months after the date of the waiver, payment or reimbursement. This reimbursement may be requested from the Fund if the reimbursement will not cause the Fund's annual expense ratio to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limitation amount in effect at the time such fees were waived, payments made or expenses reimbursed, or (b) the expense limitation amount in effect at the time of the reimbursement. Prior to January 1, 2025, the Fund's contractual expense limitations were 1.15% and 0.90% for the Class A shares and Class I shares, respectively. |

**<u>Example</u>**

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the contractual fee waiver until September 30, 2026). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

*Summary Prospectus* 2 *North Square Strategic Income Fund*

**<u>Portfolio Turnover</u>**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover 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. The Fund changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to May 31 to align it with the other Funds advised by the Adviser. For the period November 1, 2024, through May 31, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 53% of the average value of its portfolio.

**<u>Principal Investment Strategies</u>**

The Fund pursues its investment objectives by primarily investing in preferred securities and other income producing securities, including convertible securities, debt securities, mortgage-backed securities (residential and commercial), asset-backed securities, common stocks, derivatives, real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and securities of other investment companies such as closed-end funds (exchange-traded only) and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs").

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in preferred securities and debt securities. Red Cedar Investment Management, LLC ("Red Cedar" or a "Sub-Adviser"), the Fund's sub-adviser, retains broad discretion to allocate the Fund's investments across various asset classes. Preferred securities in which the Fund may invest include traditional and convertible preferred securities, and hybrid preferred securities. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more market sectors, such as the financials sector.

The Fund may invest in debt securities of any maturity. Debt securities in which the Fund may invest include U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities, investment grade corporate debt instruments, investment grade municipal bonds, mortgage-backed (including collateralized mortgage backed-securities) and asset-backed securities and below investment grade securities. Investment grade securities are those rated at the time of acquisition Baa3 or higher by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor's, a division of McGraw Hill Companies Inc. ("S&P"), or Fitch Ratings Ltd. ("Fitch") or, if unrated by S&P, Moody's or Fitch, determined by Red Cedar to be of comparable quality. Below investment grade securities are also known as "high yield" or "junk" securities.

The Fund may utilize derivatives, including futures, forward contracts, options, swaps, and other various derivative products. The Fund's use of derivative instruments may be for enhancing returns, hedging against market risks, or providing synthetic exposure to specific industries or securities. The Fund intends to use futures and swaps to hedge against general market risk, while it intends to use interest rate swaps and credit default swaps to hedge against interest rate risk and credit risk, respectively. The Fund will use options to hedge against market risk and to enhance returns and gain synthetic exposure to a security without holding the underlying asset.

The Fund may invest its assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers, including those in emerging market countries. The Fund's investments in foreign securities may include non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities traded outside of the United States, U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers traded in the United States and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). ADRs are receipts that represent interests in foreign securities held on deposit by U.S. banks. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities.

Red Cedar seeks to identify securities which it believes offer significantly higher yields than U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity, while striving to maintain stability of principal and preserving good overall credit quality through extensive credit analysis and broad diversification across security types. Red Cedar selects preferred securities based upon a review of yield characteristics, call provisions, credit quality and ratings, and ability to continue paying dividends, among other features. In evaluating and selecting debt securities, Red Cedar balances various factors, including the potential for increased yield as compared to U.S. Treasuries, as well as the maturity, call provisions and credit quality of the debt security. Convertible preferred securities and debt securities are additionally evaluated on various features including conversion rights, conversion ratio, likelihood of conversion, and value of the underlying security into which the convertible security may convert, among others. Red Cedar selects common stocks based on the company's business and financial strength and dividend history and policy, as well as its ability to potentially grow dividend distributions. The Fund will generally sell a security if its full valuation is realized, if better opportunities are identified, if news alters the Fund's investment thesis, if the security's credit quality deteriorates, or if the Fund requires cash to meet redemption requests.

*Summary Prospectus* 3 *North Square Strategic Income Fund*

**<u>Principal Risks of Investing</u>**

**Risk is inherent in all investing, including an investment in the Fund. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the following principal risks, among others: Market Risk, Credit Risk, Fixed Income Securities Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Preferred Securities Risk, Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk, High Yield ("Junk") Bond Risk, and Derivatives Risk. Summary descriptions of these and other principal risks of investing in the Fund are set forth below. Before you decide whether to invest in the Fund, carefully consider these risk factors associated with investing in the Fund, which may cause investors to lose money. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.**

**Market Risk.** The market price of a security or instrument may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as domestic and foreign (non-U.S.) economic growth and real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the world, including war, social unrest, natural disasters, public health crises (including the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness), changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, inflation, tariffs, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of a security or instrument also may decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. These events may lead to economic uncertainty, decreased economic activity, and increased market volatility. Given the interconnectedness of markets around the world, even if these events or conditions affect only a single or small number of issuers or countries, they may have disruptive effects across global economies and markets. The change in the presidential administration in 2025 has resulted in significant impacts to international trade relations, tax and immigration policies, and other aspects of the national and international political and financial landscape, which could affect, among other things, inflation and the securities markets generally.

Continuing market volatility as a result of recent market conditions or other events may have adverse effects on the Fund's returns. The Sub-Adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage the Fund in a manner consistent with achieving the Fund's investment objective, but there can be no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.

**Credit Risk.** If an issuer or guarantor of a debt security held by the Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Fund defaults or is downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or if the value of the assets underlying a security declines, the value of the Fund's portfolio will typically decline to some extent. The Fund could lose money if an issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligation on an investment held by the Fund.

**Fixed Income Securities Risk.** The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to changes in an issuer's credit rating or market perceptions about the creditworthiness of an issuer. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. For example, a general rise in interest rates may cause investors to move out of fixed income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities and could also result in increased redemptions for the Fund.

**Interest Rate Risk.** Generally, fixed income securities decrease in value if interest rates rise and increase in value if interest rates fall, with longer-term securities being more volatile than shorter-term securities. Falling interest rates also create the potential for a decline in the Fund's income. Changes in governmental policy, rising inflation rates, and general economic developments, among other factors, could cause interest rates to increase and could have a substantial and immediate effect on the values of the Fund's investments. In addition, a rise in interest rates may result in periods of volatility and increased redemptions that might require the Fund to liquidate portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices and times. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. have risen from historically low levels in recent years. Interest rates may continue to increase in the future with unpredictable effects on the financial markets and the Fund's investments.

**Preferred Securities Risk.** Preferred securities represent an equity interest in a company that generally entitle the holder to receive, in preference to the holders of other stocks such as common stock, dividends and a fixed share of the proceeds resulting from a liquidation of the company. The market value of preferred securities is subject to company-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities and is also sensitive to changes in the company's creditworthiness, the ability of the company to make payments on the preferred securities, and changes in interest rates, typically declining in value if interest rates rise.

**Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk.** Mortgage-backed (including residential and commercial mortgage-backed) and asset-backed securities represent interests in "pools" of mortgages or other assets, including consumer loans or receivables held in trust. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to "prepayment risk" (the risk that borrowers will repay a loan more quickly in periods of falling interest rates) and "extension risk" (the risk that borrowers will repay a loan more slowly in periods of rising interest rates). If the Fund invests in mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities that are subordinated to other interests in the same pool, the Fund may only receive payments after the pool's

*Summary Prospectus* 4 *North Square Strategic Income Fund*

obligations to other investors have been satisfied. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the assets held by a pool may limit substantially the pool's ability to make payments of principal or interest to the Fund, reducing the values of those securities or in some cases rendering them worthless. The Fund's investments in other asset-backed securities are subject to risks similar to those associated with mortgage-backed securities, as well as additional risks associated with the nature of the assets and the servicing of those assets.

**High Yield ("Junk") Bond Risk.** High yield bonds are debt securities rated below investment grade (often called "junk bonds"). Junk bonds are speculative, involve greater risks of default, downgrade, or price declines and are more volatile and tend to be less liquid than investment grade securities. Companies issuing high yield bonds are less financially strong, are more likely to encounter financial difficulties, and are more vulnerable to adverse market events and negative sentiments than companies with higher credit ratings. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the value of these securities and the market for these securities and reduce the liquidity of the securities.

**Derivatives Risk.** The Sub-Adviser may make use of futures, forwards, forward contracts, options, swaps and other forms of derivative instruments. The use of derivative instruments exposes the Fund to additional risks and transaction costs. These instruments come in many varieties and have a wide range of potential risks and rewards, and may include futures contracts, options (both written and purchased), swaps, forward currency exchange contracts, and mortgage dollar rolls. A risk of the Fund's use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets. Additionally, to the extent the Fund is required to segregate or "set aside" (often referred to as "asset segregation") liquid assets or otherwise cover open positions with respect to certain derivative instruments, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio instruments to meet these asset segregation requirements. There is a possibility that segregation involving a large percentage of the Fund's assets could impede portfolio management or the Fund's ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations. Opening derivative positions also exposes the Fund to risk that the counterparty to the transaction defaults.

**Convertible Securities Risk.** Convertible securities subject the Fund to the risks associated with both fixed-income securities and equity securities. Convertible securities are subject to market and interest rate risk and credit risk. When the market price of the equity security underlying a convertible security decreases, the convertible security tends to trade on the basis of its yield and other fixed income characteristics, and is more susceptible to credit and interest rate risks. When the market price of such equity security rises, the convertible security tends to trade on the basis of its equity conversion features and be more exposed to market risk. Convertible securities are frequently issued by smaller capitalized companies with stock prices that may be more volatile than those of other companies.

**Currency Risk.** The values of investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increase or decrease as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could erase investment gains or add to investment losses. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and are affected by factors such as general economic conditions, the actions of the United States and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls, and political developments in the U.S. and abroad.

**Cybersecurity Risk.** Cybersecurity incidents may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund assets, customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or cause the Fund, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, and/or other service providers (including custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or loss of operational functionality. In an extreme case, a shareholder's ability to exchange or redeem Fund shares may be affected.

**Reliance on Technology Risk.** The Fund's trading strategies are highly reliant on technology, including hardware, software and telecommunications systems. In addition, data gathering, research, forecasting, order execution, trade allocation, risk management, operational, back office and accounting systems are all highly automated and computerized. Such automation and computerization relies on an extensive amount of both proprietary software and third-party hardware and software. Any unforeseeable failures, malfunctions, errors or problems with respect to these or other technologies may have a materially adverse effect on investors in the Fund or the Fund's performance.

**Equity Risk.** The value of the equity securities held by the Fund may fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the Fund participate, or factors relating to specific companies in which the Fund invests.

**Foreign Investment Risk.** The prices of foreign securities may be more volatile than the prices of securities of U.S. issuers because of economic and social conditions abroad, political developments, and differences and changes in the regulatory environments of foreign countries. In addition, changes in exchange rates and interest rates may adversely affect the values of the Fund's foreign investments. Foreign companies are generally subject to different legal and accounting standards than U.S. companies, and foreign financial intermediaries may be subject to less supervision and regulation than U.S. financial firms. Foreign securities include ADRs and Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs"). Unsponsored ADRs and GDRs are organized independently and without the cooperation of the foreign issuer of the underlying securities, and involve additional risks because U.S. reporting requirements do not apply. In addition, the issuing bank may deduct shareholder distribution, custody, foreign currency exchange, and other fees from the payment

*Summary Prospectus* 5 *North Square Strategic Income Fund*

of dividends. Certain countries may limit the ability to convert ADRs into the underlying foreign securities and vice versa, which may cause the securities of the foreign company to trade at a discount or premium to the market price of the related ADR. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile than the markets of more mature economies and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries.

**Futures Risk.** The Fund may enter into a futures contract in which the Fund (acting as a buyer or seller) may be forced to make delivery (as a seller) or take delivery (as a buyer) of a specific asset at a specified future date and price. The secondary market for futures may be less liquid causing the contract to be difficult to close. Unanticipated market movements may also make delivery difficult for the seller and cause significant, potentially unlimited, losses.

**Large-Cap-Sized Company Risk.** Securities of companies with market capitalizations that are larger than small- and mid-cap companies may be susceptible to slower growth during times of economic expansion. They may underperform other segments of the market due to an inability to respond as quickly to economic changes, market innovation, or changes in consumer behavior.

**Management and Strategy Risk.** The value of your investment depends on the judgment of the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser about the quality, relative yield, value or market trends affecting a particular security, issuer, industry, sector or region, which may prove to be incorrect. Investment strategies employed by the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser in selecting investments for the Fund may not result in an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to other investments.

**Options Risk.** Purchasing and writing put and call options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. The Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on an option if changes in its value do not correspond as anticipated to changes in the value of the underlying securities. If the Fund is not able to sell an option held in its portfolio, it would have to exercise the option to realize any profit and would incur transaction costs upon the purchase or sale of the underlying securities. Ownership of options involves the payment of premiums, which may adversely affect the Fund's performance. To the extent that the Fund invests in over-the-counter options, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk.

**Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") Risk.** The Fund's investment in REITs will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. The Fund is also subject to risks associated with extended vacancies of properties or defaults by borrowers or tenants, limited access to the credit or capital markets, and changes in cash flows of underlying real estate assets, particularly during periods of disruptions to business operations or an economic downturn. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt and erratic price movements than the overall securities market.

**Sector Focus Risk.** The Fund may from time to time invest a larger portion of its assets in one or more asset classes, market segments or sectors of the economy than many other mutual funds, and thus will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those sectors.

*Financials Sector Risk.* The performance of companies in the financials sector, as traditionally defined, may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, changes in government regulations, economic conditions, and interest rates, credit rating downgrades, adverse public perception, exposure concentration and decreased liquidity in credit markets. The impact of changes in regulation of any individual financial company, or of the financials sector as a whole, cannot be predicted. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, recent or future regulation on any individual financial company or recent or future regulation on the financials sector could have an adverse impact on the Fund. Due to increased inter-sector consolidation, banks, insurance companies, and financial services companies may be subject to severe competition.

**Small-Cap and Mid-Cap-Sized Company Risk.** The securities of small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements and may have lower trading volumes or more erratic trading than securities of larger, more established companies or market averages in general. In addition, such companies typically are more likely to be adversely affected than large-capitalization companies by changes in earning results, business prospects, investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions.

**Swaps Risk.** The Fund may enter into swap transactions, including credit default swaps and index credit default swaps. Swap transactions involve the risk that the party with whom the Fund entered into the transaction with defaults on its obligation to pay or that the Fund cannot meet its obligation to pay the other party. Swaps may also be difficult to value, which in turn may cause liquidity issues.

**Yield Curve Risk.** This is the risk that there is an adverse shift in market interest rates of fixed income investments. The risk is associated with either flattening or steepening of the yield curve, which is a result of changing yields among comparable bonds with different maturities. If the yield curve flattens, then the yield spread between long-and short-term interest rates narrows and the price of a bond will change. If the curve steepens, then the spread between the long- and short-term interest rates increases which means long-term bond prices decrease relative to short-term bond prices.

**<u>Performance</u>**

The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund's Class I shares from year to year and by showing how the average annual total returns of Class I shares of the Fund compare with the average annual total returns of a broad-based market index. The performance for Class A shares may vary from the performance shown to the extent the classes have differing expenses. Updated performance information is available at the Fund's website, <u>www.northsquareinvest.com</u>, or by calling the Fund at 1-855-551-5521.

The Fund has adopted the historical performance of the Advisory Research Strategic Income Fund (the "Predecessor Fund"), a former series of Investment Managers Series Trust, as a result of a reorganization consummated after the close of business on February 21, 2020 ("Reorganization"), in which the Fund acquired all of the assets, and assumed all of the liabilities, of the Predecessor Fund. At the time of the Reorganization, the Fund and the Predecessor Fund had substantially similar investment strategies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund was a "shell" fund with no assets and had not yet commenced operations. The performance information presented below for periods prior to the Reorganization reflects the performance of the Predecessor Fund. The Fund's performance has not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses paid by the Predecessor Fund and those paid by the Fund.

The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

*Summary Prospectus* 7 *North Square Strategic Income Fund*

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 an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. In certain cases, Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. This will occur when a capital loss is realized upon the sale of Fund shares or provides an assumed tax benefit that increases the return. After–tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for Class I shares only and after-tax returns for classes other than Class I will vary from returns shown for Class I shares.

**<u>Tax Information</u>**

The Fund's distributions are generally taxable, and will ordinarily be taxed as ordinary income, qualified dividend income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. Shareholders investing through such tax-advantaged arrangements may be taxed later upon the withdrawal of monies from those arrangements.

**<u>Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries</u>**

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
