Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with changing market conditions so that when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the data quoted. Investors cannot directly invest in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges. The volatility of an index may be materially different than that of the Fund, and investors should not expect the Fund to achieve the same results as a listed index. This material must be read along with the Fund's prospectus, which may be obtained at eventidefunds.com/prospectus. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 1-877-771-EVEN (3836). The returns shown do not reflect the deduction in taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. Because of ongoing market volatility, fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes. Performance figures greater than 1 year are annualized. |

Mutual funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s ethical values screening criteria could cause it to under-perform similar funds that do not have such screening criteria. The Fund can have risk related to option investing. Companies in the Utilities sector are subject to interest rate risk and cash flow risk. Companies in the technology industries have different risks including but not limited to products becoming obsolete, and entrance of competing products. Companies in the Industrial Sector carry various risks including, but not limited to, risk related to debt loads, intense competition, and sensitivity to economic cycles. The Fund can invest in smaller-sized companies which may experience higher failure rates than larger companies and normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies. There are unique risks associated with convertible securities, foreign securities, hedging, MLPs, preferred stocks, REITs, securities, and yieldcos that are covered in the Fund’s prospectus and SAI. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) is invested in the securities of companies that the Adviser believes have the ability to increase dividends over the long term. Although the Fund expects to invest primarily in dividend paying common stocks (including ADRs), the Fund may invest in other securities to pursue the Fund’s investment objectives. These other securities include yieldcos (e.g., dividend growth-oriented public companies created by a parent company, which bundles renewable and/or conventional long-term contracted operating assets in order to generate cash flow), real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), convertible securities, and preferred stocks. The Fund may invest in a particular type of security without limitation but limits its investment in a particular industry to less than 25% of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund may invest in private and other issuers whose securities may have legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are otherwise illiquid (“Illiquid Investments”), which can impact their valuation. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets in Illiquid Investments.

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or ‘star rating’, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10- year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings are determined monthly and subject to change.
% Rank in Category is the fund’s percentile rank for the specified time period relative to all funds that have the same Morningstar category. The highest (or most favorable) percentile rank is 1 and the lowest (or least favorable) percentile rank is 100. The top-performing fund in a category will always receive a rank of 1. Percentile ranks within categories are most useful in those categories that have a large number of funds.© 2025 Morningstar. All Rights Reserved.
