Expense Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Small Cap Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Small 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% return each year and that the Small Cap Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

If you sell your shares in: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Small Cap Fund $110 $343 $595 $1,317

Portfolio Turnover

The Small 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, the Small Cap Fund’s predecessor’s portfolio turnover rate was 32% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Small Cap Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations. For this purpose, the Adviser defines a small capitalization company as any company with a market capitalization less than or equal to the largest market capitalization of any company in the Russell 2000® Index, which, as of September 30, 2011, was approximately $3.3 billion. The Small Cap Fund may invest in American Depository Receipts and/or Global Depository Receipts.

The Adviser actively manages the Small Cap Fund by applying an economic return framework. This is a valuation model that uses cash flow, rather than traditional accounting measures such as corporate performance, earnings and book value, to determine a company’s value. The Adviser uses this methodology to identify attractively-priced companies, and as a result, the Small Cap Fund invests primarily in growth and value-style equity securities.

If you hold your Small Cap Fund shares through a tax-deferred arrangement, you will not be taxed on dividends and capital gains distributions at the time they are made, but you may be taxed later upon withdrawal of monies from those accounts.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase Small Cap Fund shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the IronBridge Funds’ related companies (including the Adviser and the Distributor) may pay the intermediary for the sale of Small Cap 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 Small Cap Fund over another investment. Ask your sales person or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.

Principal Investment Risks

Market Risk
The general level of stock prices as a whole could decline, causing a decline in the value of your investment.
Market Event Risk
During 2008 and 2009, extreme market events caused unprecedented market volatility and resulted in significant drops in equity valuations. There is no guaranty that similar events will not happen again.
Small Cap Risk
Securities of companies with small market capitalizations are often more volatile, less liquid and more susceptible to market pressures than securities of larger issuers.
Stock Selection Risk
Individual stocks may decline in value or not increase in value, even when the stock market in general is rising.
Liquidity Risk
The Adviser may not be able to sell the Small Cap Fund’s securities at a time or at a price would benefit the Fund.
Equity Securities Risk
Common equity stocks are subject to greater volatility and chance of decline than other securities, such as fixed-income securities.
Management Risk
There is no guaranty that the Adviser will choose investments that increase in value.
Growth Investing Risk
Growth companies are generally more susceptible than established companies to market events and sharp declines in value.
Value Investing Risk
Value stocks may not increase in price, may not issue the anticipated stock dividends or may decline in price, based upon the market’s belief of the issuer’s intrinsic worth.
American Depository Receipt (ADR) / Global Depository Receipt (GDR) Risk
ADRs are receipts issued by US banks evidencing ownership in securities of foreign issuers, and GDRs are receipts issued by banks in more than one country evidencing ownership in securities of foreign issuers. Securities of foreign issuers, and consequently ADRs and GDRs, may decrease in value due to changes in currency exchange rates, the economic climate in the issuer’s home country or for a variety of other reasons.
Loss of Money Risk
Loss of money is a risk of investing in the Small Cap Fund.
