Home Why Fool Funds? Our Mutual Funds Insights & Ideas Forms & Literature Your Account For Advisors Letter to Shareholders Proxy Statement President’s Letter Shareholders, please vote not on two proposals that require your approval. Please click here for more information. Dear Shareholder: On behalf of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The Motley Fool Funds Trust (the "Trust"), am pleased to invite you to a special meeting of shareholders ("Special Meeting") of the Trust scheduled for 2:00 pm Eastern time, on May 21. 2014. This Special Meeting will be held at 2000 Duke Street, Suite 150. Alexandria. Virginia 22314. Please take the time to read the accompanying Proxy Statement and cast your vote, since it covers matters that are important to the Trust and to you as a shareholder. At the Special Meeting, shareholders of each series of the Trust (each, a "Fund" and together, the "Tunds") will be asked to (1) elect a Trustee to the Doard and (2) approve an amended and restated investment advisory agreement between the Trust and Motley Fool Asset Management. LLC (the "Adviser" or "MFAM") on behalf of each Fund. The Trustee nominee is a current member of the Board who has served since the Board appointed him in July 2012. The primary purpose of proposing to amend the investment advisory agreement between the Trust and the Adviser is to simplify the current advisory fee structure by eliminating the fulcrum fee component and to reduce what is currently the base fee component of the advisory fee from 0.95% to 0.85%. In other words, the current advisory fee would be replaced with a flat fee of 0.85%. Shareholders of the Funds may also be asked to transact such other business, not currently contemplated, that may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournments thereof in the discretion of the proxies or their substitutes. The proposals are discussed in detail in the enclosed Proxy Statement. Please read it carefully. The Board has concluded that each proposal is in the best interests of the Funds and their respective shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposals. Seriously. Why are we doing this? To simplify the advisory fee structure, which should result in lower fees. Folks, when we launched the Independence Fund back in 2009. we had a great idea that we would place a fulcrum on our advisory fee. so that if we beat our benchmark the Adviser would get paid a bit more and. if we trailed it. the Adviser would get paid a bit less. Sounds great, right? We love the principle of this so much that we launched the Great America Fund and the Epic Voyage Fund with fulcrums. too. But that which is greet in principle can have some unwelcome consequences. Most notably, it has proved confusing to shareholders: for an organization like ours that is dedicated to bringing transparency to the mutual fund business, that has been challenging. In the end. we reluctantly decided that simpler is sometimes better. In essence we are asking you to vote on two things. First, Carl Verboncoeur joined our Board, which has forced me to learn to spell "Verboncoeur." We are asking shareholders to elect Mr. Verboncoeur to the Board so that we have a Board entirely elected by shareholders. Second, we are proposing to amend the advisory agreement between the Trust and MFAM to eliminate the fulcrum fee and to reduce what is currently the base fee component of the Funds' advisory fee from 0.95% to 0.85%. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES YOU OWN. TO AVOID THE ADDED COST OF FOLLOW-UP SOLICITATIONS AND POSSIBLE ADJOURNMENTS. PLEASE READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND CAST YOUR VOTE. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR VOTE BE RECEIVED BY THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON MAY 20. 2014 IF YOU VOTE BY MAIL. OR BY 11:59 PM EASTERN TIME ON MAY 20. 2014 IF YOU VOTE BY TELEPHONE OR INTERNET. I. and everyone here at Motley Fool Funds, have an unwavering commitment to you. I appreciate your participation and prompt response in this matter and thank you for your continued support If you have questions about our proxy, please call Broadridge at (855) 601-2249.

Dear Motley Fool Funds Shareholder:

 

For the very first time, we’re asking shareholders to decide two important proposals for our funds.

 

You will be receiving a package in the mail or an email, depending upon your previous selection for receiving regulatory material from Motley Fool Funds. This package or email will provide you with all of the proxy material and details necessary to record your vote.

 

You can participate by voting your shares as soon as you receive the materials, or by attending a voting meeting at The Motley Fool headquarters (this meeting concerns the proposals only; we will have our Annual Shareholder Party at a later date). You’ll find all of the important details below.

 

Proposal 1:

 

To elect the nominee to serve on the Board of Trustees of the Trust

 

You are being asked to vote on the election of one nominee to serve on the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Four Trustees currently serve as Trustees and the Board is recommending that Carl Verboncoeur be elected by shareholders to the Board. Carl is a long-time mutual fund industry executive and the retired CEO of Rydex Investements, a fund complex that grew dramatically under his leadership.. The Trust’s Board of Trustees recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of Carl Verboncoeur to the Board of Trustees.

 

Proposal 2:

 

Approval of Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Motley Fool Asset Management

 

You are also being asked to vote on an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, which is the contract between the Board of Trustees and Motley Fool Asset Management, the Investment Advisor that manages The Motley Fool Independence Fund, The Motley Fool Great America Fund and The Motley Fool Epic Voyage Fund. The proposed change would allow Motley Fool Asset Management to reduce the Funds’ investment advisory fee from 0.95% to 0.85% and eliminate the performance-based fulcrum fee.

 

The Trust’s Board of Trustees recommends that you vote “FOR” the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

Why are we doing this? The proposed election of Carl Verboncoeur would provide valuable industry experience to the Board of Trustees. The proposed change to the fee structure seeks to provide investors with a lower management fee and a simplified fee structure. We view these as important steps to help us achieve our mission: To Help the World Invest: Better.

 

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Proxies are very important to us at Motley Fool Funds because we believe you should always have a say in the management of any company you own. It is important that your vote be received no later than 11:59PM Eastern Time on May 20, 2014.

 

Please be sure to read the full package before voting. You can read the President’s Letter and access the electronic voting site by clicking here.

 

The voting meeting is happening at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, May 21 st  at Fool Headquarters,

 



 

2000 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA, 22314. We urge you to vote your shares at your earliest convenience regardless of whether you can attend.

 

If you have any questions after considering the materials, please call (855) 601-2249 and someone will be happy to help you.

 

We appreciate your participation and time in responding to these matters, and thank you, as always for placing your trust in us.

 

Foolish Best,
