Growth Fund Investment Strategy
The Growth Fund normally invests at least 65% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of common stocks. Although current income is not its primary objective, the Growth Fund anticipates that capital growth will be accompanied by growth through dividend income. We also generally seek to identify investment opportunities in equity securities of companies that we believe have above-average potential for earnings and dividend growth. To achieve a better risk-adjusted return on its equity investments, the Growth Fund invests in many types of stocks, including a blend of large company stocks, small company stocks, growth stocks and value stocks. We believe that holding a diverse group of stocks will provide competitive returns under different market environments relative to more narrow investment styles. Our flexible approach to equity investing enables us to adapt to changing market trends and conditions and to invest wherever we believe opportunity exists. |

*The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive management
fees and/or reimburse expenses incurred by the Growth Fund through March
31, 2011 so that the annual operating expenses of that Fund do not exceed
1.40% of its average daily net assets. Investment performance reflects fee
waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, the returns would be reduced. Performance data quoted represents past performance: past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 800-999-0887 or visiting www.thompsonplumb.com.
