(1)Expenses in the table above and the Example below reflect the expenses of the Fund and the Global Macro Capital Opportunities Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the Portfolio in which the Fund invests its assets.
(2)The investment adviser and administrator have agreed to reimburse the Fund’s expenses to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.40% for Class A shares and 1.15% for Class I shares. This expense reimbursement will continue through February 28, 2023. Any amendment to or termination of this reimbursement would require approval of the Board of Trustees. The expense reimbursement relates to ordinary operating expenses only and does not include expenses such as: brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs (including borrowing costs of any acquired funds), taxes or litigation expenses. Amounts reimbursed may be recouped by the investment adviser and administrator during the same fiscal year to the extent actual expenses are less than the contractual expense cap during such year.
Example.
This Example is intended
to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the operating expenses remain the same and that any expense
reimbursement arrangement remains in place for the contractual period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based
on these assumptions your costs would be:
| 1 Year
| 3 Years
| 5 Years
| 10 Years

Class A shares
| $661
| $996
| $1,353
| $2,358
