Vulcan Value Partners Fund
Summary
The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in publicly traded equities the Fund believes to be both undervalued and possessing a sustainable competitive advantage. Although the fund is able to invest in small-cap and large-cap companies, its portfolio strategy invests in companies with larger market capitalizations. Generally, subject to price, any publicly traded company with reasonable economics would be a potential investment in this portfolio. A core position in the Fund is generally approximately 5% of the Fund’s portfolio, so that theoretically the Fund would seek to hold about 20 companies, spread across various industries. Because it is rare that the Fund would find exactly 20 companies meeting its investment guidelines, allocations will vary with the price to value ratio of specific companies. The Fund may invest in positions as small as 1% when price to value ratios are higher. The Fund generally will not invest in any business that is trading above the Fund’s estimate of its fair value.

Investment Philosophy
One team. One philosophy. One process.
Evaluating investment opportunities is a process; one we undertake with discipline and intentionality. The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by minimizing risk. We have always believed that by concentrating on not losing money, making money should take care of itself. We also analyze a company’s competitive strengths to ensure it meets our intended investment horizon of five years. Finally, we assess the human element, understanding that we are investing in real businesses run by real people facing real issues. We are not traders or speculators. We want to be long-term owners in a collection of superior business enterprises.
Disclosures

The Vulcan Value Partners Fund ETF (the “ETF”) reflects the performance of Vulcan Value Partners Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) with an inception date of 12/30/09, the day the Predecessor Fund began investing. Prior to close of business on 11/18/26, the Predecessor Fund operated as an open-end mutual fund. The Predecessor Fund has an identical investment objective and substantially similar investment strategies and investment risk profiles as the ETF. The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) returns include returns of the Investor Class shares of the Predecessor Fund prior to the ETF’s commencement of operations. The Predecessor Fund’s Institutional Class shares were combined into its Investor Class shares on 9/23/26. Performance for the ETF’s shares has not been adjusted to reflect the lower expenses than those of the Predecessor Fund. Returns are net of fees and expenses. Market price returns begin on the ETF’s first day of trading. Had the Predecessor Fund been structured as an exchange-traded fund, its performance may have differed.
The ETF may not achieve its objective, and you could lose money on your investment. All performance data is calculated in US Dollars. Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold in the secondary market, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Investors will incur usual and customary brokerage commissions when buying or selling shares of the ETF in the secondary market that, if reflected, would reduce the performance returns. Shares are bought and sold at market price not net asset value (“NAV”) and are not individually redeemable from the ETF.

Market price performance is determined using the bid/ask midpoint at 4:00pm Eastern time, when the NAV is typically calculated. NAV price performance is determined using the daily calculated NAV. It does not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on ETF distributions or upon redemption or sale of ETF shares.
