IMPORTANT FUND INFORMATION
Important Risk Information. An investment in the Fund is subject to risks, and you could lose money on your investment in the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Your investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The Fund also has specific principal risks, which are described below. More detailed information regarding these risks can be found in the Fund’s prospectus. The principal risks of investing in the FinTrust Income and Opportunity Fund include: equity market risk, active management risk, interest rate risk, issuer risk, equity risk, large company risk, small-cap and mid-cap stock risk, special situations risk, non-diversified fund risk, options risk (see definition below), options strategy risks, equity securities risk, correlation risk, large company risk, mid-sized company risk, interest rate risk, options risk, limits on option selling risk, options strategy risk, derivatives risk, convertible securities risk and general fund investing risk, and new fund risk.
Options Risk – The Fund’s ability to close out its position as a purchaser or seller of an over-the-counter or exchange-listed put or call option is dependent, in part, upon the liquidity of the option market. There are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation among these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. The Fund’s ability to utilize options successfully will depend on the ability of the Fund’s investment adviser to predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. By writing call and put options on underlying instruments, the Fund’s returns will be determined by the performance of the underlying instrument. If the underlying instrument appreciates or depreciates sufficiently over the period to offset the net premium received, the Fund may incur losses. Increases in implied volatility of options may cause the value of an option to increase, even if the value of the underlying instrument does not change, which could result in a reduction in the Fund’s share price. In unusual market circumstances where implied volatility sharply increases or decreases causing options spreads to be significantly correlated to the underlying instrument, the Fund’s strategy may not perform as anticipated. When the Fund writes a put option, it assumes the risk that it must purchase the underlying instrument at a strike price that may be higher than the market price of the instrument. If there is a broad market decline and the Fund is not able to close out its written put options, it may result in substantial losses to the Fund. The Fund will receive a premium from writing options, but the premium received may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from exercised put options. By writing a call option, the Fund may be obligated to deliver instruments underlying an option at less than the market price. In the case of an uncovered call option, there is a risk of unlimited loss. When an uncovered call is exercised, the Fund must purchase the underlying instrument to meet its call obligations and the necessary instruments may be unavailable for purchase. Put writing makes an explicit trade-off between upmarket participation and down-market participation, while still seeking reasonable returns in flat markets. As such, in up markets, the Fund typically will not participate in the full gain of the underlying equity securities over time.
Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Please refer to Important Risk Information. The principal value and return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflected at NAV does not include the Fund’s maximum front-end sales load of 5.50%. Had it been included, the Fund’s return would have been lower.
The Fund’s gross expense ratios as of the prospectus dated 4/30/2023 are as follows: A-Share 2.65%, and I-Share 2.40%
As of the prospectus dated 4/30/23, the Fund’s total expense ratio for the Class I shares is 2.13% and the Class A shares is 2.38%. FinTrust Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) has entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund under which it has agreed to waive or reduce its fees and to assume other expenses of the Fund, if necessary, in an amount that limits the Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding interest, distribution fees pursuant to Rule 12b-1 Plans, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, dividend expenses on short sales, and other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of such Fund’s business) to not more than 1.95%. The Expense Limitation Agreement covers the period during which the Interim Investment Advisory Agreement was in place and the period following shareholder approval of the new Investment Advisory Agreement. Subject to approval by the Fund’s Board, any waiver under the Expense Limitation Agreement is subject to repayment by the Fund within the three fiscal years following the year in which such waiver occurred, if the Fund is able to make the payment without exceeding the 1.95% expense limitation. The current contractual agreement cannot be terminated prior to at least one year after the effective date without the Board of Trustee’s approval. Information current as of prospectus dated 4/30/23.
