These views may differ from other portfolio managers and analysts of the firm as a whole, and are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results or investment advice. Any mention of individual securities or sectors should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell such securities, and any information provided is not a sufficient basis upon which to make an investment decision. The information provided does not constitute, and should not be construed as, an offer or solicitation with respect to any securities, products or services discussed. Future events or results may vary significantly from those expressed and are subject to change at any time in response to changing circumstances and industry developments. This information and data has been prepared from sources believed reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of the information cannot be guaranteed and is not a complete summary or statement of all available data. You should consider the Fund s investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before you invest. The Prospectus details the Fund's objective and policies, and other matters of interest to the prospective investor. Please read this Prospectus carefully before investing. The Prospectus may be obtained by visiting the website at by at crm@fpa.com, toll-free by calling or by contacting the Fund in writing. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. This data represents past performance and investors should understand that investment returns and principal values fluctuate, so that when you redeem your investment it may be worth more or less than its original cost. The Fund s expense ratio as of most recent prospectus is 1.29%. Current month-end performance data may be obtained by calling toll-free, Paramount Fund transitioned to its current investment strategy on September 1, Performance prior to that date reflects performance of the prior portfolio managers and is not indicative of performance for any subsequent periods. Portfolio composition will change due to ongoing management of the Fund. Any mention of individual securities or sectors should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell such securities, and any information provided is not a sufficient basis upon which to make an investment decision. It should not be assumed that future investments will be profitable or will equal the performance of the security examples discussed. The portfolio holdings as of the most recent quarter-end may be obtained at Investments in mutual funds carry risks and investors may lose principal value. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. The Fund may purchase foreign securities, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and other depository receipts, which are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic and political risks. Foreign investments, especially those of companies in emerging markets, can be riskier, less liquid, harder to value, and more volatile than investments in the United States. Adverse political and economic developments or changes in the value of foreign currency can make it more difficult for the Fund to value the securities. Differences in tax and accounting standards, difficulties in obtaining information about foreign companies, restrictions on receiving investment proceeds from a foreign country, confiscatory foreign tax laws, and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations, can all add to the risk and volatility of foreign investments Small and mid cap stocks involve greater risks and they can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks. Groups of stocks, such as value and growth, go in and out of favor which may cause certain funds to underperform other equity funds. A non-diversified fund may hold fewer securities than a diversified fund because it is permitted to invest a greater percentage of its assets in a smaller number of securities. Holding fewer securities increases the risk that the value of the fund could go down because of the poor performance of a single investment. 11
12 Important Disclosures cont d Value securities, including those selected by the Fund s portfolio managers, are subject to the risks that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market and that their prices may go down. In addition, value style investing may fall out of favor and underperform growth or other styles of investing during given periods. Securities selected by the portfolio managers using a value strategy may never reach their intrinsic value because the market fails to recognize what the portfolio managers consider to be the true business value or because the portfolio managers have misjudged those values. Indices are unmanaged, do not reflect transaction costs, investment management fees or other fees and expenses that would reduce performance in an actual account, and not available for direct investment. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The account had held, and is expected to continue to hold, underlying securities that are not included in the benchmark and FPA makes no representation that the account is comparable to the benchmark in composition or element of risk involved.

The MSCI ACWI consists of 44 country indices comprising 23 developed and 21 emerging market country indices. Indices do not reflect any commissions or fees which would be incurred by an investor purchasing the underlying securities. You cannot invest directly in an Index. Other Definitions Allocation Effect: How the weighting of the groups affect the portfolio's performance.
