Important Legal Disclosures

Exemptive Order
Litman/Gregory Fund Advisors (the "Advisor") has obtained an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, which permits it, subject to certain conditions, to select new investment managers with the approval of the Board of Trustees but without obtaining shareholder approval. The order also permits the Advisor to change the terms of agreements with managers or to continue the employment of the managers after an event that would otherwise cause the automatic termination of services. Shareholders must be notified of any manager changes. Shareholders have the right to terminate arrangements with a manager by vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund. The order also permits a Fund to disclose managers' fees only in the aggregate in its registration statement.

Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns.

Litman Gregory Fund Advisors, LLC has ultimate responsibility for assets under management.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The funds impose a 2% redemption fee on shares held less than 180 days. Performance data does not reflect the redemption fee. If reflected, total returns would be reduced. Current performance of the funds may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.
