Class A: RADYX    Class C: RADCX    Class I: RADIX

The Rady Contrarian Long/Short Fund invests in publicly traded securities, primarily mid- to large-capitalization U.S. companies, and seeks to achieve positive and consistent returns while limiting exposure to general stock market downside risk.

The Contrarian Value Long Short Fund has the same management practices and is in all material respects identical to the predecessor Limited Partnership and is managed by the same portfolio manager since the predecessor limited partnership’s inception on February 2007. The Fund’s investment goals, policies, guidelines and restrictions are, in all material respects, equivalent to the predecessor limited partnership. From its inception date, the predecessor limited partnership was not subject to certain investment restrictions, diversification requirements and other restrictions of the 1940 Act of the Code, if they had been applicable, it might have adversely affected its performance. In addition, the predecessor limited partnership was not subject to sales loads that would have adversely affect performance. Performance of the predecessor fund is not an indicator of future results.
Mutual Funds involve risk including possible loss of principal.  ETFs are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in ETFs and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds.

When the Fund invests in foreign securities through ADRs, the Fund could be subject to greater risks because the Fund’s performance may depend on issues other than the performance of a particular company or U.S. market sector. Stocks of mid-cap companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies or the market averages in general. 1495 - NLD - 12/21/2009
