EXPENSE EXAMPLES
The following examples are 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 and that the 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 Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and
may result in higher taxes when the Funds shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year,
the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 178.23% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
To achieve its investment objective, the Funds investment sub-adviser, DG Capital Management (the Sub-adviser), will, under normal market
conditions, employ the following strategies:
|
|
Common Stocks.
The
Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in common stocks of U.S. companies without regard to market capitalization.
|
|
|
Growth Stocks.
The
Fund invests its assets in equity securities of companies which the Funds Sub-adviser believes show a high probability for superior growth.
|
|
|
Special
Situations.
The Fund invests up to 25% of its total assets in special situation securities when the Funds Sub-adviser believes such investments will
benefit the Fund. A special situation arises when, in the sub-advisers opinion, the securities of a company will experience an unusual gain or loss solely by reason of a development particularly or uniquely applicable to that company. Such
situations
|
|
|
|
|
|
Summary Prospectus

|
|
include, but are not limited to: spin-offs, corporate restructurings, liquidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations or mergers, material litigation, technological breakthroughs and new
management or management policies. Special situation investments may include illiquid or restricted securities, such as private equity investments.
|
|
|
Foreign
Securities.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs).
|
|
|
Large- and Mid-Cap
Securities.
The Fund seeks to achieve a balance between investments in special situation investments and investments in large- to mid-capitalization
equities (in excess of $3 billion in market capitalization) with high or accelerating profitability.
|
|
|
Short Sales.
The Fund
may invest up to 25% of its assets in short sales.
|
|
|
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund employs an aggressive strategy of portfolio trading to respond to changes in the marketplace.
|
|
|
Tactical
Allocation.
Because the Fund is a tactical allocation fund, the assets of the Fund will shift on a short-term basis to take advantage of perceived differences in
relative values of the various asset classes. The Fund will tactically allocate capital among a diverse range of trading strategies and markets, wherever the portfolio manager perceives opportunity.
|
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
As with all mutual
funds, there is the risk that you could lose money on your investment in the Fund. The following risks could affect the value of your investment:
|
|
Common Stock
Risk.
Common stock risks include the financial risk of selecting individual companies that do not perform as anticipated, the risk that the stock markets in which the
Fund invests may experience periods of turbulence and instability, and the general risk that domestic and global economies may go through periods of decline and cyclical change.
|
|
|
Growth Risk.
The Fund
invests in companies that appear to be growth-oriented companies. If the Funds perceptions of a companys growth potential are wrong, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Funds return.
|
|
|
Special Situation
Risk.
Special situations often involve much greater risk than is found in the normal course of investing. Liquidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations, material
litigation, technological breakthroughs and new management or management policies may not have the effect on a companys price that the Funds sub-adviser expects, which could negatively impact the Fund.
|
|
|
Foreign Securities
Risk.
Investments in foreign securities involve greater risks compared to domestic investments for the following reasons: foreign companies may not be subject to the
regulatory requirements of U.S. companies, so there may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers than U.S. companies; foreign companies generally are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards;
dividends and interest on foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes; such taxes may reduce the net return to Fund shareholders; foreign securities are often denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, which will
subject the Fund to the risks associated with fluctuations in currency values.
|
|
|
Mid-Cap Stock
Risk.
Because mid-cap companies are relatively small compared to large-capitalization companies, they may be engaged in business mostly within their own geographic
region and may be less well known to the investment community. Also, these companies may have less liquidity, less management depth, narrower market penetrations, less diverse product lines and fewer resources than larger companies. As a result of
these factors, mid-cap stock prices may have greater volatility than large company securities.
|
|
|
Short Selling
Risk.
Positions in shorted securities are speculative and more risky than long positions. Such investments involve the risk of an unlimited increase in the market
price of the security sold short, which could result in a theoretically unlimited loss. Short sale strategies are often categorized as a form of leveraging or speculative investment. The use of leverage may multiply small price movements in
securities into large changes in value. As a result of using leverage, the Funds share price may be more volatile than if no leverage were used.
|
|
|
Portfolio Turnover
Risk.
The Funds portfolio manager may engage in aggressive portfolio trading. As a result, the Fund could experience higher than average portfolio turnover,
resulting in the realization of gains and losses which could have negative tax consequences to Fund shareholders.
|
|
|
Management Risk.
The
Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Sub-adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there is no guarantee that its
decisions will produce the intended result.

PAST PERFORMANCE
The bar chart below displays the annual return of the Fund over the past ten years. The bar chart also illustrates the variability of the performance from year to year and provides some indication of the
risks of investing in the Fund. Fund performance shown does not reflect Class A Shares sales charges. Performance would be lower if sales charges were included. Past performance does not guarantee or predict future results.

The Funds cumulative year-to-date return through September 30, 2012 was 9.59%.
The table shows the risks of investing in the Fund by illustrating how the average annual returns for one-year, five-years and ten-years for each class of
the Fund before taxes compare to those of a broad-based securities market index. In addition, after-tax returns are presented for Class A Shares of the Fund. The after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal
marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investors tax situation and may differ from those shown in the table. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not
relevant to investors who hold shares of the Fund through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns for the other classes of shares will vary from the Class A Shares after-tax returns
shown. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future results. Updated performance information for the Fund is available on the Trusts website at www.quakerfunds.com or by calling toll-free 800-220-8888.
