1 About the Proposed Reorganization of Aquila Funds Trust:

 

As previously communicated, a definitive agreement has been reached between Aquila Investment Management LLC (“Aquila”) and Cantor Fitzgerald Investment Advisors, LP ("Cantor") to sell assets used in its investment advisory business relating to the Aquila Funds Trust (the "Funds" or each a "Fund") (the "transaction"). Under the terms of the agreement, subject to Fund shareholder approval, each Fund is expected to be reorganized into a newly created series of Cantor Select Portfolios Trust (each a "Reorganization" or collectively, the "Reorganizations"), and subsequently will be advised by Cantor and subadvised by Smith Group Asset Management, LLC. The proposed Reorganizations are listed below:

 

Acquired Aquila Funds Acquiring Cantor Funds
Aquila High Income Fund Cantor Fitzgerald High Income Fund
Aquila Opportunity Growth Fund Cantor Fitzgerald Equity Opportunity Fund

 

 

For financial professional use only. Not for use with the public.

The Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains important information about fund objectives, strategies, fees, expenses and risk considerations, and therefore you are advised to read it.

High-yield bonds are subject to greater credit risk, default risk, and liquidity risk. 

 

Before investing in any mutual fund offered by Aquila Group of Funds, carefully read about and consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other information found in the fund's prospectus.
