FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund

The Fund commenced operations on June 13, 2002. Fund performance shown is for the Investor Class shares.

*The performance shown prior to November 1, 2020 reflects the historical performance of the Fund when Bragg Financial Advisors, Inc. ("BFA") served as investment adviser of the Fund. Effective November 1, 2020, FPA became the investment advisor to the Fund, and Bragg Financial Advisors transitioned to serving as sub-advisor.

From inception of the Fund to December 31, 2004, BFA and its affiliates voluntarily absorbed certain expenses of the Fund and voluntarily waived its management fee. Had BFA not done this, returns would have been lower during that period. Effective January 1, 2005 through October 31, 2020, BFA had a unitized fee structure that limited operating expenses to 1.18%.

¹As of the most recent prospectus, the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses are 0.99% (Investor Class), 0.91% (Advisor Class), and 0.80% (Institutional Class).

Periods greater than one year are annualized. Fund performance is shown net of all fees and expenses. Fund performance is calculated on a total return basis which includes reinvestment of all distributions. Fund performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, which would lower these figures.

Past performance is no guarantee, nor is it indicative, of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. This data represents past performance and investors should understand that investment returns and principal values fluctuate, so that when you redeem your investment it may be worth more or less than its original cost. Current month-end performance data, which may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, may be obtained at fpa.com or by calling toll-free, 1-800-982-4372.

The performance of the indices are computed on a total return basis which includes reinvestment of all distributions. Comparison to any index is for illustrative purposes only. The Fund may be less diversified than the indices noted herein, and may hold non-index securities or securities that are not comparable to those contained in an index. Indices may hold positions that are not within the investment strategy. Indices are unmanaged and returns do not reflect transaction costs, investment management fees or other commissions, or fees and expenses that would reduce performance for an investor. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.
