September 15, 2023 Pulling a rabbit out of a hat is an old staple among any magician’s tricks. Companies sometimes play that game as well through ingenuity and good management but also with accounting or revenue recognition shenanigans.

Investment Considerations:
Mutual fund investing involves risk including the possible loss of principal. There can be no guarantee that any strategy (risk management or otherwise) will be successful.
Baywood SociallyResponsible Fund: Socially responsible investment criteria may limit the number of investment opportunities available to the Fund, and as a result, at times the Fund’s investment returns may be lower than those funds that are not subject to such investment considerations. A value style is primarily used to select investments for the Fund. This style may fall out of favor, may underperform other styles and may increase the volatility of a Fund’s share price.
Baywood ValuePlus Fund: The Fund primarily invests in undervalued securities which may not appreciate in value as anticipated by the Adviser or remain undervalued for longer than anticipated. The Fund may invest in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) which involves risks relating to political, economic or regulatory conditions in foreign countries and may cause greater volatility and less liquidity. The Fund may also invest in convertible securities and preferred stock which may be adversely affected as interest rates rise.
The Morningstar US Large Value Index is an unmanaged index. Individuals cannot invest in an index.
Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is available in the prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained from 855-409-2297. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
