Class A and C Shares have maximum sales charges of 4.50% and 1.00% respectively, and 12b-1 fees, which reduce performance. Date Selected Assumes Purchase at End of Month

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Market volatility can dramatically impact the fund's short term performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than figures shown. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance data through the most recent month end is available at firsteaglefunds.com or by calling 800.334.2143.

The Fund invests in high yield, fixed income securities that, at the time of purchase, are non-investment grade. High yield, lower rated securities involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than high rated fixed income securities. High yield securities are rated lower than investment-grade securities because there is a greater possibility that the issuer may be unable to make interest and principal payments on those securities. High yield securities involve greater risk than higher rated securities and portfolios that invest in them may be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk than portfolios that do not. There are risks associated with investing in securities of non-U.S. countries such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. All investments involve the risk of loss.
The Fund commenced operations in its present form on December 30, 2011, and is successor to another mutual fund pursuant to a reorganization December 30, 2011. Information prior to December 30, 2011 is for this predecessor fund.

* For purposes of this website, risk is defined as the use of high yield securities rated below the highest rated category of non-investment grade. High yield bonds include those that carry a rating such as Ba1/BB+ or lower by credit rating agencies. All high yield securities are considered "speculative" and are often referred to as "junk bonds".

** 2011 Best High Current Yield Fund is based on the three-year risk-adjusted performance among 416 high current yield funds for the period ended Dec. 31, 2010. Classification averages are calculated with all eligible share classes for each eligible classification. The calculation periods extend over 36, 60, and 120 months.

1 The average annual returns shown above are historical and reflect changes in share price, reinvested dividends and are net of expenses. Investment results and the principal value of an investment will vary. Class I Shares require $1MM minimum investment, and are offered without sales charge. Performance information is for Class I Shares without the effect of sales charges and assumes all distributions have been reinvested and if a sales charge was included values would be lower. Had fees not been waived and/or expenses reimbursed, the performance would have been lower. Class A and C Shares have maximum sales charges of 4.50% and 1.00% respectively, and 12b-1 fees, which reduce performance.

2 Gross operating expenses are the actual fund operating expenses prior to the application of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit operating expenses of the Fund to an annual rate of 0.81% for I Shares, 1.26% for A Shares, and 2.01% for C Shares, with gross operating expenses of 1.26%, 1.51%, and 2.26% respectively. This limitation excludes certain expenses as described in the Fees and Expenses section of the prospectus. This limitation will continue until 2013 for I-Shares, and until 2012 for A and C Shares. The expense limitation may be terminated by the Adviser in future years.

4 Ratings source: Standard & Poor's. For more information on the Standard & Poor's rating methodology, please visit standardandpoors.com and select "Understanding Ratings" under Rating Resources.

5Average Coupon: The average of each bond's coupon payment, adjusted for its relative weighting in the portfolio.

Average Credit Quality: The average of each bond's credit rating, adjusted for its relative weighting in the portfolio.

Effective Duration: The average change in the value of a fixed-income security that will result from a 1% change in interest rates, adjusted for bonds with embedded options. Effective duration is stated in years.

SEC Yield: A standard yield calculation developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for fairer comparisons of bond funds. It is based on the most recent 30-day period covered by the fund's filings with the SEC. The yield figure reflects the dividends and interest earned during the period, after the deduction of the fund's expenses. This is also referred to as the 'standardized yield'. The number is then annualized. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund, and therefore may not be correlated with dividends and distributions paid. Had fees not been waived and or/expenses reimbursed, the SEC Yield would have been lower.

Weighted Average Maturity: The average due date of scheduled principal payments on a loan, weighted by the amount of time such principal payments are outstanding. An amortization schedule that requires more principal payments to be made in later years will have a greater weighted average maturity than one that is front-end loaded.

Portfolio turnover as of most recent Prospectus (December 30, 2011). The Fund's investment strategies may result in high turnover rates. This may increase the Fund's brokerage commission costs, which would reduce performance. Rapid portfolio turnover also exposes shareholders to a higher current realization of short-term gains, which could cause you to pay higher taxes.
