Example
This Example is intended
to help you compare the costs of investing in the International Fund with the cost
of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000
in the International 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 and that the International Funds operating expenses
remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The International Fund pays transaction
costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells investments (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction
costs and may result in higher taxes when International Fund shares are held in
a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating
expenses or in the Example, affect the International Funds performance. During
the most recent fiscal year, the International Funds portfolio turnover rate
was 29.9% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
To achieve its investment objective, the
International Fund primarily seeks investment opportunities in companies of any
capitalization that International Value Advisers, LLC, the Funds investment
adviser (the Adviser), believes have fundamental value, financial strength
and stability. The International Fund may, however, invest in companies with fundamental
value that do not have the other characteristics.
The Adviser, under normal market conditions,
will invest no less than 30%, although it intends to invest at least 65%, of the
International Funds total assets in equity and debt securities issued by foreign
companies and governments. The Adviser may invest the Funds assets in any
region of the world. It may invest in companies based in emerging markets, typically
in the Far East, Latin America and Eastern Europe, as well as in companies operating
in developed countries, such as those of Canada, Japan and Western Europe.
The International Fund identifies investment
opportunities through intensive research of individual companies and generally does
not focus or rely on current stock market conditions and other macro factors when
assessing potential investment opportunities. For these reasons, the International
Fund may seek investments in the equity securities of companies in industries that
are believed to be temporarily depressed. The International Fund determines an issuers economic ties to a particular country based on the location where such issuer
is headquartered or incorporated, and the location from where the issuer derives
at least 50% of its revenues or profits, if such location is other than the location
where such issuer is headquartered or incorporated.
Under normal circumstances, no one position
in equity securities will exceed 5% of the total assets of the International Fund
at the time of investment. If the International Funds position in one of the
below referenced securities exceeds 5% of the International Funds total assets
after the time of investment, the International Fund may continue to hold such securities.
As part of its principal investment strategies,
the International Fund intends to invest in: (a) foreign and domestic common and
preferred equity securities and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs);
(b) foreign and domestic fixed income securities; and (c) precious metals, primarily
through gold bullion and gold mining securities. The Fund may invest in fixed income
securities of any credit quality, including those rated investment grade (rated
in one of the four highest ratings categories by Moodys Investors Service
(Moodys) or Standard & Poors Ratings Services (S&P)) and
those considered high-yield and rated below investment grade
(rated Ba or lower by Moodys or BB or lower by S&P, commonly referred
to as junk bonds). Under normal circumstances, the International Fund
will invest in the following fixed income securities: notes, bills and debentures,
bank debt obligations and structured notes; high-yield debt securities rated below
investment grade, convertible securities, Rule 144A securities and structured notes
(Rule 144A securities are restricted securities that can be resold to qualified
institutional buyers but not to the general public); and securities issued
by supranational organizations and sovereign debt securities. Any investments in
unrated bonds will be evaluated by the Adviser to determine the comparative credit
quality of the unrated debt. In selecting debt securities to achieve the International
Funds investment objective, the Adviser will consider the likelihood of default
and the potential for capital appreciation. The International Fund may purchase
precious metals in any form (bullion and coins or contract form). The Fund intends,
however, to purchase only those forms of precious metals that are readily marketable
and that can be stored in accordance with custody regulations applicable to mutual
funds.
The Adviser will consider selling a security
when it determines that such security no longer offers fundamental value or financial
strength and stability.
The International Fund may invest a portion
of its assets in derivative instruments. These include forward contracts and futures
contracts. The International Fund may invest in derivatives primarily to seek to
hedge exposure to certain markets and securities and/or for speculative (
i.e
., non-hedging)
purposes. The International Fund may seek to hedge its exposure to
foreign currencies, typically through the use of foreign currency derivatives, including
currency forward contracts and may engage in currency transactions with counterparties
to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies or to generate income or gains.
Principal Investment Risks
As with any investment, you could lose all
or part of your investment in the International Fund, and the Funds performance
could trail that of other investments. The International Fund is subject to the
principal risks noted below, listed in alphabetical order, any of which may adversely
affect the Funds net asset
IVA International Fund
| Summary Prospectus | January 2013 | S-2
value (NAV), yield, total return and
ability to meet its investment objective. An investment in the International Fund
is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or any other government agency.
Debt Securities Risk.
Risks associated
with investments in fixed income securities include credit risk, interest rate risk,
liquidity risk and the risk of default, particularly with respect to high yield
securities.
Derivative Investment Risk.
Derivatives
are subject to a number of risks, such as interest rate risk, market risk, credit
risk, foreign exchange risk and management risk. Changes in the value of the derivative
may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the International
Fund may lose more money than it invested in the derivative. A small investment
in a derivative could have a relatively large positive or negative impact on the
performance of the Fund, potentially resulting in losses to Fund shareholders.
Emerging Markets Risk.
Securities
listed and traded in emerging markets are subject to additional risks associated
with emerging market economies. Such risks may include: (i) greater market volatility;
(ii) lower trading volume; (iii) greater social, political and economic uncertainty;
(iv) governmental controls on foreign investments and limitations on repatriation
of invested capital; (v) the risk that companies may be held to lower disclosure,
corporate governance, auditing and financial reporting standards than companies
in more developed markets; and (vi) the risk that there may be less protection of
property rights than in other countries.
Foreign Securities Risk.
Foreign
securities can involve additional risks relating to political, economic or
regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in
foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial,
and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure
standards of some foreign markets.
Investment Style Risk.
The returns
from the types of securities in which the International Fund invests may underperform
returns from the various general securities markets or different asset classes.
This may cause the International Fund to underperform other investment vehicles
that invest in different asset classes.
Issuer-Specific Risk.
Changes in
the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic
or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and
changes in general economic or political conditions can affect a securitys
or instruments value. The value of securities or instruments of smaller, less-well-known
issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Issuer-specific events
can have a negative impact on the value of the International Fund.
Large-Capitalization Investing.
Large-capitalization
stocks as a group could fall out of favor with the market, causing the International
Fund to underperform investments that focus on small- or medium-capitalization stocks.
Larger, more established companies may be slow to respond to challenges and may
grow more slowly than smaller companies.
Management Risk.
This is the risk
that the International Funds investment strategy, the implementation of which
is subject to a number of internal and external constraints, may not produce
the desired results, including the risk that the International Funds portfolio
managers judgments about asset allocations may not be correct and could adversely
affect the International Funds performance.
Precious Metals Risk.
Prices of precious
metals and of precious metal related securities historically have been very
volatile. The production and sale of precious metals by governments or central banks
or other larger holders can be affected by various economic, financial, social and
political factors, which may be unpredictable and may have a significant impact on the prices of precious
metals. Other factors that may affect the prices of precious metals and securities
related to them include changes in inflation, the outlook for inflation and changes
in industrial and commercial demand for precious metals.
Rule 144A Securities Risk.
Rule 144A
securities may have an active trading market, but carry the risk that the active
trading market may not continue. To the extent that qualified institutional buyers
become for a time uninterested in purchasing these securities, they will become
illiquid while held by the International Fund.
Small and Mid-Capitalization Investing.
The securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies may be subject to
more unpredictable price changes than securities of larger companies or the market
as a whole.
Stock Market Risk.
The trading prices
of equity securities fluctuate in response to a variety of factors. These factors
include events impacting a single issuer, as well as political, market and economic
developments that affect specific market segments and the stock market as a whole.
The International Funds NAV, like stock prices generally, will fluctuate within
a wide range in response to these factors. As a result, an investor in the International
Fund could lose money over short or even long periods.
Tax Risks.
To qualify as a regulated
investment company for income tax purposes, income derived from investing or trading
in precious metals, together with any other non-qualifying income received by the
International Fund in any tax year, must not exceed 10% of the International Funds gross income for such year. If the International Fund fails to meet these
requirements, it would: (i) not qualify as a regulated investment company; (ii)
incur regular corporate income tax on its taxable income for that year; (iii) lose
its deduction for dividends paid to shareholders; and (iv) be subject to certain
gain recognition and distribution requirements upon requalification. Further distributions
of income by the International Fund to its shareholders would be treated as dividend
income. This tax requirement may cause the International Fund to hold or sell precious
metals or securities when it would not otherwise do so.
U.S. Government Regulation Risk.
The 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank
Act) has resulted in significant revisions of the U.S. financial regulatory
framework. The ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, and any resulting regulation,
is not yet certain and issuers in which the International Fund invests may also
be affected by the new legislation and regulation in ways that are currently unforeseeable.
Performance
The bar chart and table below provide some
indication of the risks of investing in the International Fund by illustrating the
variability of the International Funds returns during the years since inception.
The bar chart shows the returns for Class A shares of the International Fund for
the last four calendar years. The table shows how the International Funds
average annual total
IVA International Fund
| Summary Prospectus | January 2013 | S-3
returns for certain time periods compare to those of a broad-based
securities market index. The returns in the bar chart are for Class A Shares and
do not reflect a sales charge. If the sales charge was reflected, the returns would
be lower. The International Funds past performance (before and after taxes)
is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. Updated International
Fund performance can be obtained by visiting www.ivafunds.com or by calling (866)
941-4482 (toll free).
Year by Year Returns (Years Ended December 31)
The best calendar quarter return during
the period shown above was 14.17% in the second quarter of 2009; the worst was -9.01%
in the third quarter of 2011.
After-tax returns in the table below are
calculated using the historical highest individual U.S. federal marginal income
tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax
returns depend on an investors tax situation and may differ from those shown,
and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to tax-exempt investors or investors
who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual
retirement accounts (IRAs). After-tax returns are shown for Class A
only, and the after-tax returns for Class C and Class I will vary. After-tax returns
for Class A reflect a sales charge.
