This information statement/prospectus is being furnished to shareholders of the Nakoma Absolute Return Fund (the “Nakoma Fund”), a series of Nakoma Mutual Funds (the “Nakoma Trust”), in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) by and between Trust for Professional Managers (the “TPM Trust”), on behalf of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund (the “Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund”), a series of the TPM Trust, and the Nakoma Trust, on behalf of the Nakoma Fund. The Reorganization Agreement provides for the reorganization of the Nakoma Fund into the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund (the “Reorganization”). Both the Nakoma Trust and the TPM Trust are open-end investment management companies organized as Delaware statutory trusts. Schooner Investment Group, LLC (“Schooner”) is the investment adviser to the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund. Nakoma Capital Management, LLC (“Nakoma”) is the investment adviser to the Nakoma Fund. Nakoma will not be responsible for providing investment advisory or portfolio management services to the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund following the Reorganization.

If you need additional copies of this information statement/prospectus, please contact the Nakoma Fund at 1-866-6Nakoma (1-866-662-5662) or in writing at Nakoma Absolute Return Fund, c/o UMB Fund Services, Inc., P.O.

Box 2175, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201-2175.

How The Reorganization Will Work

The Nakoma Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund.

The Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund will issue shares of its common stock to the Nakoma Fund in an amount equal to the number of full and fractional shares of the Nakoma Fund outstanding as of

the last daily determination of the Nakoma Fund’s net asset value on the last business day preceding the closing of the Reorganization.

The Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund will open accounts for the Nakoma Fund shareholders, crediting the shareholders with full and fractional shares of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund that are equivalent in value to, and issued in liquidation of, the shareholders’ shares in the Nakoma Fund at the time of the Reorganization.

Shares of the Nakoma Fund will be redeemed by the Nakoma Trust.

As soon as practicable after the Reorganization, the Nakoma Trust will take steps to wind up its affairs and to have its existence dissolved in accordance with Delaware law and other applicable requirements, and will file with the SEC an application for deregistration as an investment company on Form N-8F and such other filings as may be required.

Nakoma and the Nakoma Board engaged in discussions regarding alternatives for the Nakoma Fund, including the Reorganization, liquidation of the Nakoma Fund and the viability of the Nakoma Fund absent approval of the proposed Reorganization. After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees for each of the Nakoma Fund and the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund approved the Reorganization. A copy of the form of the Reorganization Agreement is attached to this information statement/prospectus as Appendix A. The Reorganization Agreement is not required to be approved by the shareholders of the Nakoma Fund. Accordingly, shareholders of the Nakoma Fund are not being asked to vote on or approve the Reorganization Agreement.

This information statement/prospectus sets forth the basic information regarding the Reorganization. You should read it and keep it for future reference.

For simplicity, actions are described in this information statement/prospectus as being taken by either the Nakoma Fund or the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund (which are collectively referred to as the “Funds” and are each referred to as a “Fund”), although all actions are actually taken either by the Nakoma Trust or the TPM Trust on behalf of the applicable Fund.

SUMMARY

The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this information statement/prospectus or incorporated herein. You should read carefully the entire information statement/prospectus, including the Reorganization Agreement, the form of which is attached as Appendix A, because it contains details that are not in the summary.

In this proposal, the term “Reorganization” refers collectively to: (1) the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of the Nakoma Fund to the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund; (2) the opening of accounts for shareholders of the Nakoma Fund with the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and the credit to the accounts of full and fractional shares of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of, and in liquidation of, the shareholders’ shares in the Nakoma Fund; and (3) the redemption of the shares of the Nakoma Fund by the Nakoma Trust.

The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). For information on the tax consequences of the Reorganization, see the sections entitled “Summary – Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganization” and “Information About the Reorganization – Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this information statement/prospectus.

Comparison of the Nakoma Fund to the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund


	Nakoma Fund	Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund
Form of Organization	A diversified series of the Nakoma Trust, an open- end investment management company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.	A non-diversified series of the TPM Trust, an open-end investment management company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

Net Assets as of September 30, 2011	$[●]	Not applicable. The Fund is newly organized.

Investment Advisers and Portfolio Managers	Investment Adviser: Nakoma Capital Management, LLC Portfolio Managers: Daniel S. Pickett, CFA, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of Nakoma, has been the lead portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception. Mark A. Fedenia, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager of Nakoma, has been a co-portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception.	Investment Adviser: Schooner Investment Group, LLC Portfolio Managers: Alec Petro and Brian Chen, each a Portfolio Manager of Schooner, are the portfolio managers who will be primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund

Annual Operating Expenses as a Percentage of Average Net Assets for the Fiscal Year	The Fund’s total operating expenses were 3.12% and net operating expenses (after giving effect to the contractual expense limitation agreement but including dividend and interest expense on securities sold short) were 2.97% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. Excluding dividend and interest expense on securities sold short, the Fund’s net operating expenses were 1.99% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011.	Not applicable. The Fund’s total operating expenses are estimated to be 2.33% and net operating expenses (after giving effect to the contractual expense limitation agreement) are estimated to be 1.95% for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2012.

Investment Objective	The Fund seeks absolute returns with low volatility independent of equity market conditions. The investment objective is not designated as a “fundamental policy” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Nakoma Board”) without shareholder approval.	The investment objective of the Fund is capital appreciation while maintaining a low or negative correlation over time with the major equity indices. The investment objective is not designated as a “fundamental policy” within the meaning of the 1940 Act and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “TPM Board”) without shareholder approval.


	Nakoma Fund	Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund
Primary Investments	The Fund invests principally in common stocks traded in U.S. markets, taking long positions in companies where Nakoma believes operating results will exceed investors’ expectations, and establishing short positions in companies Nakoma believes will disappoint or as hedged offsets to long positions. The Fund principally invests in mid- to large-capitalization U.S. traded companies, but may consider issuers of all sizes in all markets. Up to 25% of the Fund may be invested in securities of foreign issuers that are either listed on a U.S. stock exchange or represented by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in illiquid investments. Up to 10% of the Fund may be invested in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund may borrow money from banks, up to one-third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), to purchase securities for investment purposes, commonly referred to as “leveraging.”	The Fund seeks to generate positive absolute returns (in other words, positive gains measured as a percentage of the Fund’s investment portfolio over a period of time) without tracking the performance of any traditional indexes through a combination of long and short positions in derivative instruments, such as futures contracts (including currency, index and commodity futures), swaps and forward currency contracts. Schooner will allocate the Fund’s investments to provide the Fund with exposure to global equity, bond, currency and commodities markets in proportions consistent with Schooner’s evaluation of their expected risks and returns. The Fund uses derivatives rather than investing directly in these asset classes as a low-cost, effective means to gain exposure to these asset classes. In addition to investments in derivative securities, the Fund may also invest in ETFs and exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) to provide exposure to these markets and asset classes. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may include securities of varying maturities and durations, and securities of any investment grade, including those rated below investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”), commonly referred to as “junk bonds” or “high yield” bonds. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in, or have exposure to, securities of issuers from at least three different countries (including the United States), with at least 40% of the Fund’s net assets invested in foreign securities or derivative instruments with exposure to foreign securities, including emerging markets securities.

Investment Strategies and Process	Nakoma believes that an important way to accomplish the Fund’s objective is through an investment approach comprised of three integrated processes: dynamic asset allocation, fundamental stock selection and risk management. With respect to dynamic asset allocation, Nakoma assesses expectations for and trends in three categories of factors that Nakoma believes influence stock market returns: economic growth and corporate profits; interest rates and inflation expectations; and investor sentiment and stock market valuation. All else being equal, when the trends in these categories are better than expected, Nakoma will increase the Fund’s net exposure to the stock market and when trends in these categories are worse than expected, Nakoma will decrease the Fund’s net exposure to the stock market. The fundamental stock selection process is designed to identify companies with the potential for positively or negatively surprising business results over a six- to eighteen-month time horizon. For each stock, Nakoma monitors key	The Fund does not have a maximum or minimum allocation or target exposure to any one type of derivative instrument or asset class, except that at least 40% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in foreign securities or derivative instruments with exposure to foreign securities, including emerging markets securities. To construct the Fund’s investment portfolio, Schooner applies proprietary models that use value, momentum and analysis of other economic components to estimate an investment’s expected return: Ÿ Value signals indicate when a security, group of securities or asset class may be trading for less than their intrinsic values based on fundamental measures. Ÿ Momentum signals indicate the short-term trading behavior of individual securities within an asset classes, or the asset classes themselves. Ÿ Strategic” economic components provide a long-term expected return estimate that is separate


	Nakoma Fund	Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund
	business drivers (e.g., macroeconomics, secular trends, industry dynamics and company specific events) that Nakoma believes will affect the underlying company’s business over the investment time horizon. The risk management process analyzes the sources of volatility in the portfolio (e.g., sector, capitalization, style and interest rate sensitivity) in an effort to match Fund risk exposures with Nakoma’s overall market view and avoid unintended risk exposures.	from and combined with the expected return estimates generated from value and momentum signals. An example of a strategic component is a long-term, historical average return of an investment strategy, asset class or a macroeconomic estimate of a strategy’s long-term expected return. Schooner’s proprietary models also estimate the potential risk of each investment opportunity based on the volatility of the individual investment and in correlation to the Fund’s other investments. When selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio, Schooner’s models consider both expected returns and risk-contributions. Other factors, such as liquidity and transaction costs, may also affect Schooner’s decision to purchase a security for the Fund. The amount of the Fund’s assets that may be allocated among the various instruments and asset classes is expected to vary over time, and Schooner will have broad discretion to determine the mix of investments in the Fund’s investment portfolio at any given time. The Fund will sell a security during portfolio rebalancing periods when the Fund’s holdings in that security are larger than the target allocation suggested by Schooner’s investment models, as described above or when a more attractive investment becomes available.

Temporary Strategies	The Fund may not always stay fully invested in equity securities. When Nakoma believes that market conditions are unfavorable, the Fund’s cash or similar investments may increase. In other words, cash or similar investments generally are a residual – they represent the assets that remain after the Fund has committed available assets to desirable investment opportunities. When the Fund’s investments in cash or similar investments increase, it may not participate in market advances or declines to the same extent that it would if the Fund remained more fully invested in equity securities. In addition, the Fund may temporarily increase its cash position under certain unusual circumstances, such as to protect its assets or maintain liquidity in certain circumstances, for example, to meet unusually large redemptions. The Fund’s cash position may also increase temporarily due to unusually large cash inflows. Under unusual circumstances such as these, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or similar investments. In this case, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.	For temporary defensive purposes, Schooner may invest up to 100% of the Fund’s total assets in high-quality, short-term debt securities and money market instruments. These short-term debt securities and money market instruments include shares of other mutual funds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements. Taking a temporary defensive position may result in the Fund not achieving its investment objective. Furthermore, to the extent that the Fund invests in money market mutual funds for its cash position, there will be some duplication of expenses because the Fund would bear its pro rata portion of such money market funds’ management fees and operational expenses.

Comparison of Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds

A discussion regarding certain principal risks of investing in the Funds is set forth below. Where applicable, differences between the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and the Nakoma Fund have been highlighted. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by the more extensive discussion of risk factors set forth in the Funds’ Prospectuses and the Statements of Additional Information.

Management Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and Nakoma Fund). The risk that strategies and sub-strategies employed by the Fund’s investment adviser in selecting investments and asset allocations for the Fund may not result in an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to other investments.

General Market Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and Nakoma Fund). The risk that the value of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the Fund’s investments and other factors affecting the securities markets generally. The U.S. and international markets have experienced extreme price volatility, reduced liquidity and valuation difficulties in recent years. Continuing market problems may have adverse effects on the Fund.

Derivatives Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund only). Derivatives, including futures, swaps and forward foreign currency contracts, may be more volatile than investments directly in the underlying securities, involve additional costs and may involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed. In addition, the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly to the underlying securities index or overall securities markets. Specific types of derivative securities are also subject to a number of additional risks, such as:

Futures Risk. Futures contracts may be more volatile than investments directly in the underlying securities, involve additional costs and may involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed.

Swap Agreement Risk. A swap contract may not be assigned without the consent of the counterparty, and may result in losses in the event of a default or bankruptcy of the counterparty.

Liquidity Risk. The risk that the Fund may not be able to sell or close out a derivative instrument.

Interest Rate Risk. The risk that underlying investments may lose value due to interest rate changes.

Credit Risk. The risk that underlying investments may lose value due to borrowers defaulting or failing to pay back debt.

Commodities Markets Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund only). Exposure to commodity markets through investments in commodities futures contracts may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. This is because the value of companies in commodity-related businesses may be affected by overall market movements and other factors affecting the value of a particular industry or commodity, such as weather, disease, embargoes, or political and regulatory developments.

Short Sales Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and Nakoma Fund). The risk on a short sale is the risk of loss if the value of a security sold short increases prior to the delivery date, since the Fund must pay more for the security than it received from the purchaser in the short sale. Therefore, the risk of loss may be unlimited.

Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and Nakoma Fund). Foreign investments may carry risks associated with investing outside the United States, such as currency fluctuation, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information or unfavorable political or legal developments. Those risks are increased for investments in emerging markets.

Currency and Forward Currency Contracts Risks (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund only). Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of what the Fund owns and the Fund’s share price. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, an investment in that foreign currency loses value because it is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets. Investments in forward currency contracts could minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, but may also limit any potential gain from an increase in the value of the currency.

Exchange-Traded Fund Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and Nakoma Fund). When the Fund invests in an ETF, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the ETF’s operating expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF holds. The Fund also will incur brokerage costs when it purchases and sells ETFs.

Exchange-Traded Note Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund only). The value of an ETN may be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in the underlying securities’ markets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating and economic, legal, political or geographic events that affect the referenced index. In addition, the notes issued by ETNs and held by a fund are unsecured debt of the issuer.

Equity Market Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and Nakoma Fund). The Fund will be exposed to equity market risk through its investment in derivative instruments and direct investments in equity securities. Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. Preferred stocks are subject to the risk that the dividend on the stock may be changed or omitted by the issuer, and that participation in the growth of an issuer may be limited.

Debt Securities Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund only). The Fund will be exposed to debt securities risk through its investment in derivative instruments and direct investments in debt securities. Interest rates may go up resulting in a decrease in the value of debt securities. Investments in debt securities include credit risk, which is the risk that an issuer will not make timely payments of principal and interest. There is also the risk that a bond issuer may “call,” or repay, its high yielding bonds before their maturity dates. Debt securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. Rising interest rates could cause prepayments of the obligation to decrease, extending the life of debt securities with lower payment rates. This is known as extension risk. Limited trading opportunities for certain debt securities may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a favorable price or time.

High Portfolio Turnover Rate Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund only). A high portfolio turnover rate (100% or more) has the potential to result in the realization by the Fund and distribution to shareholders of a greater amount of capital gains than if the Fund had a low portfolio turnover rate, and will result in higher transaction costs, which may lower the Fund’s return. This may mean that you would be likely to have a higher income tax liability.

Distributions to shareholders of short-term capital gains are currently taxable as ordinary income under federal income tax laws.

Risk of Non-Diversification (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund only). The Fund is non-diversified under federal securities laws, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Fund is non-diversified, its net asset value and total returns may fluctuate or fall more in times of weaker markets than a diversified mutual fund.

Leverage Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and Nakoma Fund). Investments in derivative instruments and selling securities short involve the use of leverage. Leverage can increase the investment returns of the Fund. However, if the securities decrease in value, the Fund will suffer a greater loss than would have resulted without the use of leverage. The Fund will maintain long positions in securities available for collateral, consisting of cash, cash equivalents and other liquid securities, to comply with applicable legal requirements.

Tax Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund only). There is the risk that the Fund’s investment strategies may be subject to special tax rules, the effect of which may be to accelerate income to the Fund, defer losses to the Fund, cause adjustments in the holding periods of the Fund’s securities, convert long-term capital gains into short-term capital gains or convert short-term capital losses into long-term capital losses.

New Fund Risk (Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund only). The Fund is new with no operating history and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case the Fund’s Board of Trustees may determine to liquidate the Fund.

Other Consequences of the Reorganization

Management Fee and Structure. Nakoma serves as the investment adviser to the Nakoma Fund. Schooner serves, and after the Reorganization will continue to serve, as the investment adviser to the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund. The Nakoma Fund pays, and the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund will pay, a management fee equal to the following annual percentage of average daily net assets:

Nakoma Fund

Management Fee – Paid to Nakoma

Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund

Management Fee – Paid to Schooner

1.50%

1.65%

Under the investment advisory agreement between the TPM Trust, on behalf of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund, and Schooner, the annual management fee rate payable by the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund (without giving effect to expense limitations) is higher than the rate currently payable to Nakoma by the Nakoma Fund (1.65% versus 1.50%). The investment advisory agreements are further described under “Additional Information About the Funds – Investment Advisory Agreements,” below.

Expense Limitation. Schooner and the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund have entered into an operating expense limitation agreement under which Schooner has agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund to ensure that the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund’s total annual operating expenses of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund’s shares (exclusive of interest on tax expenses, brokerage commissions, extraordinary and non-recurring expenses, AFFE and dividends and interest on short portions) do not exceed 1.95% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, which is below the net expense ratio for the Nakoma Fund for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011 (1.95% versus 1.99%). This agreement will remain in effect through at least June 1, 2021, and may be terminated by the TPM Board. After June 1, 2021, the agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless terminated by Schooner or the TPM Board prior to any such renewal.

Past Performance

Set forth below is past performance information for the Nakoma Fund, which may help provide an indication of some of the risks of investing in the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund. Performance information for the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund is not presented because it has not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows how the Nakoma Fund’s total returns before taxes have varied from year to year, while the table shows how the average annual total returns of the Nakoma Fund compare with returns of a broad measure of market performance. All returns assume reinvestment of distributions. Please keep in mind that a fund’s past performance (before and after

taxes) does not necessarily represent how it will perform in the future. Updated performance information for the Nakoma Fund is available on the Fund’s website at www.nakomafunds.com or by calling the Nakoma Fund toll-free at 1-866-6Nakoma (1-866-662-5662).

Average Annual Total Returns

The after-tax returns shown in the following table are intended to show the impact of assumed federal income taxes on an investment in the Nakoma Fund. The “Return After Taxes on Distributions” shows the effect of taxable distributions (investment company taxable income and capital gains distributions), but assumes that you still hold Fund shares at the end of the period. The “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” shows the effect of both taxable distributions and any taxable gain or loss that would be realized if Fund shares were sold at the end of the specified period. The after tax returns are calculated using the highest individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. In certain cases, the “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. This will occur when a capital loss is realized upon the sale of Fund shares and provides an assumed tax benefit that increases the return. Your actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. The after-tax returns are not relevant if you hold your Fund shares through a tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account.

__________________

⁽¹⁾

Because the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund is new, these expenses are based on estimated amounts for the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund’s first fiscal year.

⁽²⁾

Nakoma has contractually agreed to reduce all or a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse Fund expenses to ensure that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, transaction costs including brokerage commissions and dividend and interest expense on securities sold short, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.99% of the Fund’s average net assets through at least October 1, 2012, subject thereafter to annual re-approval of the agreement by the Nakoma Board. This operating expense limitation agreement can be terminated by the Nakoma Board upon 30 days’ prior notice to Nakoma. Nakoma may request a reimbursement from the Fund to recapture any reduced advisory fees or reimbursed Fund expenses within three years following the fee reduction or expense reimbursement, but only to the extent the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (excluding those items noted above) plus any requested reimbursement amount are less than the above limit at the time of the request. Any such reimbursement is subject to review by the Nakoma Board.

⁽³⁾

Schooner has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund to ensure that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive generally of interest and tax expenses, brokerage commissions, extraordinary and non-recurring expenses, AFFE and dividends and interest on short positions) do not exceed 1.95% of the Fund’s average net assets. The expense limitation will remain in effect through at least June 1, 2021, and may be terminated only by the TPM Board. Schooner is permitted to be reimbursed for management fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three fiscal years, subject to the limitation on the Fund’s expenses.

Example of Effect on Fund Expenses

The Example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Nakoma Fund with the cost of investing in the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund, assuming the Reorganization has been completed. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the specified 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 each Fund’s total operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:


	One Year	Three Years	Five Years	Ten Years
Nakoma Fund	$300	$938	$1,612	$3,411
Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund	$198	$612	$1,052	$2,275

Portfolio Turnover

The Nakoma Fund pays, and the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund will pay, 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 Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in total annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During its most recent fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, the Nakoma Fund’s portfolio turnover rate for long positions, excluding short positions, was 120% of the average value of its portfolio.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganization

As a condition to the Reorganization, each Fund will have received an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Reorganization should qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor their shareholders should recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, the tax basis and the holding period of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares received by each shareholder of the Nakoma Fund in the Reorganization should be the same as the tax basis and holding period of the Nakoma Fund shares given up by such shareholder in the Reorganization; provided that, with respect to the holding period for the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares received, the Nakoma Fund’s shares given up must have been held as capital assets by the shareholder. See “Information About the Reorganization – Federal Income Tax Consequences,” below.

The preceding is only a summary of certain information contained in this information statement/prospectus relating to the Reorganization. This summary is qualified by reference to the more complete information contained elsewhere in this information statement/prospectus, the Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information of the Nakoma Fund and the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund, and the Reorganization Agreement. Shareholders should read this entire information statement/prospectus carefully.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION

Reasons for the Reorganization. The primary purpose of the Reorganization is for the Nakoma Fund to transfer all of its assets and liabilities to the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund. Nakoma and the Nakoma Board engaged in discussions regarding alternatives for the Nakoma Fund, including the Reorganization, that would allow shareholders of the Nakoma Fund to maintain their investment in a registered mutual fund with a similar absolute return investment strategy and to retain the potential to benefit from the Nakoma Fund’s capital loss carryforward amounts. Nakoma and the Nakoma Board also discussed alternatives to the proposed Reorganization, including liquidation of the Nakoma Fund and the viability of the Nakoma Fund absent approval of the proposed Reorganization. Pursuant to an agreement between Nakoma and Schooner, both parties have agreed to equally share all expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganization and Schooner has agreed to make certain payments to Nakoma for a period of five years following the completion of the Reorganization.

Following the Reorganization, the investment advisory fee paid by the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund (1.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets) will be higher than the investment advisory fee paid by the Nakoma Fund (1.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets). However, Schooner has agreed to retain an expense cap for the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund following the Reorganization, through at least June 1, 2021, that is lower than the expense cap in effect for the Nakoma Fund during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. The Nakoma Board and the TPM Board have each approved the Reorganization.

Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement sets forth the terms by which the Nakoma Fund will be reorganized with and into the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund. The form of the Reorganization Agreement is attached as Appendix A and the description of the Reorganization Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by the attached Reorganization Agreement. The following sections summarize the material terms of the Reorganization Agreement and the federal income tax treatment of the reorganization.

The Reorganization. The Reorganization Agreement provides that upon the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of the Nakoma Fund to the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund, the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund will issue to the Nakoma Fund that number of full and fractional Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares having an aggregate net asset value equal in value to the aggregate assets of the Nakoma Fund, calculated as of the closing date of the Reorganization (the “Closing Date”). The Nakoma Fund will redeem its shares in exchange for the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares received by it and will distribute such shares to the shareholders of the Nakoma Fund in complete liquidation of the Nakoma Fund. Nakoma Fund shareholders will receive Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares based on their respective holdings in the Nakoma Fund as of the last business day preceding the Closing Date (the “Valuation Time”).

Upon completion of the Reorganization, each shareholder of the Nakoma Fund will own that number of full and fractional shares of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of such shareholder’s shares held in the Nakoma Fund as of the Valuation Time. Such shares will be held in an account with the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund identical in all material respects to the account currently maintained by the Nakoma Fund for such shareholder.

Until the Valuation Time, shareholders of the Nakoma Fund will continue to be able to redeem their shares at the net asset value next determined after receipt by the Nakoma Fund’s transfer agent of a redemption request in proper form. Redemption and purchase requests received by the transfer agent after the Valuation Time will be treated as requests received for the redemption or purchase of shares of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund received by the shareholder in connection with the Reorganization. After the Reorganization, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Nakoma Fund will be canceled on the books of the Nakoma Fund and the transfer agent’s books of the Nakoma Fund will be permanently closed.

The Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, the receipt of a legal opinion from counsel addressed to the Nakoma Fund and the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund with respect to certain tax issues, as more fully described in “Federal Income Tax Consequences” below, and the parties’ performance in all material respects of their respective agreements and undertakings in the Reorganization Agreement. Assuming satisfaction of the conditions in the Reorganization Agreement, the Closing Date of the Reorganization will be at 3:00 p.m., Central time, on November 4, 2011, or such other date as is agreed to by the parties.

The Reorganization Agreement may not be changed except by an agreement signed by each party to the Agreement.

Federal Income Tax Consequences. Subject to the assumptions and limitations discussed below, the following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization to shareholders of the Nakoma Fund. This discussion is based on the Code, applicable Treasury regulations, and federal administrative interpretations and court decisions in effect as of the date of this information statement/prospectus, all of which may change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such changes could alter the tax consequences described in this summary.

This discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a holder of Nakoma Fund shares in light of that shareholder’s particular circumstances or to a shareholder subject to special rules.

In addition, this discussion does not address any other state, local or foreign income tax or non-income tax consequences of the Reorganization or of any transactions other than the Reorganization.

NAKOMA FUND SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE REORGANIZATION AND THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.

The Nakoma Fund and the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund will each receive an opinion from the law firm of Godfrey & Kahn, S.C. substantially to the effect that, based on certain facts, assumptions and representations made by the Nakoma Fund and the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund, on the basis of existing provisions of the Code, current administrative rules and court decisions, for federal income tax purposes:

(1)

The transfer of all of the assets of the Nakoma Fund to the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund in exchange solely for shares of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and the assumption by the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund of all of the liabilities of the Nakoma Fund should constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and the Nakoma Fund should each be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;

(2)

the Nakoma Fund should recognize no gain or loss (a) upon the transfer of its assets to the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund in exchange for Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares and the assumption of the liabilities of the Nakoma Fund, or (b) upon the distribution of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares to the shareholders of the Nakoma Fund;

(3)

the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund should recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of the Nakoma Fund in exchange for the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares and the assumption of the liabilities of the Nakoma Fund;

(4)

the tax basis in the hands of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund of each asset of the Nakoma Fund transferred to the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund in the Reorganization should be the same as the basis of that asset in the hands of the Nakoma Fund immediately before the transfer;

(5)

the holding period of each asset of the Nakoma Fund in the hands of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund should include the period during which that asset was held by the Nakoma Fund;

(6)

the shareholders of the Nakoma Fund should recognize no gain or loss upon their receipt of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares;

(7)

the aggregate tax basis of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares received by each shareholder of the Nakoma Fund should equal the aggregate tax basis of the Nakoma Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor; and

(8)

the holding period of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares received by each Nakoma Fund shareholder should include the holding period of the Nakoma Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the Nakoma Fund shares are held by that shareholder as capital assets on the date of the exchange.

Capital losses incurred in tax years beginning prior to December 23, 2010 can generally be carried forward to each of the eight (8) years succeeding the loss year to offset future capital gains. Capital losses incurred in tax years beginning on or after December 23, 2010 can generally be carried forward indefinitely to offset future capital gains. The Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund will inherit the tax attributes of the Nakoma Fund, including any available capital loss carryforwards, as of the Closing Date. In general, it is not expected that any such capital loss carryforwards will be subject to an annual limitation for federal income tax purposes in connection with the Reorganization because the Reorganization should either: (i) qualify as a type “F” tax-free reorganization under the Code, including a mere change in identity, form or place of reorganization of one corporation, however effected; or (ii) not involve more than a 50% change of ownership. For federal income tax purposes, the Nakoma Fund had capital loss carryforwards at May 31, 2011 as follows:


Date of Expiration	Amount
May 31, 2016	$ 987,684
May 31, 2017	12,569,991
May 31, 2018	7,000,309
May 31, 2019	9,509,982
Total	$30,067,966

A successful challenge to the tax-free status of the Reorganization by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) would result in a Nakoma Fund shareholder recognizing gain or loss with respect to each Nakoma Fund share equal to the difference between that shareholder’s basis in the share and the fair market value, as of the time of the Reorganization, of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund shares received in exchange therefor. In such event, a shareholder’s aggregate basis in the shares of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund received in the exchange would equal such fair market value, and the shareholder’s holding period for the shares would not include the period during which such shareholder held Nakoma Fund shares.

If any of the representations or covenants of the parties as described herein is inaccurate, the tax consequences of the transaction could differ materially from those summarized above. Furthermore, the description of the tax consequences set forth herein will neither bind the IRS, nor preclude the IRS or the courts from adopting a contrary position. No assurance can be given that contrary positions will not successfully be asserted by the IRS or adopted by a court if the issues are litigated. No ruling has been or will be requested from the IRS in connection with this transaction. No assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial or administrative changes, on either a prospective or retroactive basis, or future factual developments, would not adversely affect the accuracy of the conclusions stated herein. Therefore, shareholders may find it advisable to consult their own tax adviser as to the specific tax consequences to them under the federal income tax laws, as well as any consequences under other applicable state or local or foreign tax laws given each shareholder’s own particular tax circumstances.

Board Considerations.

Nakoma Board. In considering and approving the Reorganization at a meeting held on August 17, 2011, the Nakoma Board discussed the future of the Nakoma Fund and the advantages of reorganizing the Nakoma Fund into the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund. Among other things, the Nakoma Board also reviewed, with the assistance of outside legal counsel, the overall proposal for the Reorganization, the principal terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement, including that the Reorganization be consummated on a tax-free basis, and certain other materials provided prior to and during the meeting and at other meetings throughout the past year.

In considering the Reorganization, the Nakoma Board took into account a number of factors. Some of the more prominent considerations are discussed further below. The Nakoma Board considered the following matters, among others and in no order of priority:

Both the Nakoma Fund and the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund have an absolute return investment objective;

The TPM Trust has experienced trustees, management and service providers and Schooner has experienced portfolio managers;

Schooner has agreed to limit the total annual fund operating expenses of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund to 1.95% through at least June 1, 2021;

The Reorganization, as contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, will be a tax free reorganization;

The costs of the Reorganization, as contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, will be borne by Nakoma and Schooner;

The interests of the current shareholders of the Nakoma Fund will not be diluted as a result of the reorganization contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement; and

The potential conflicts of interest associated with the Reorganization, as contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, including the payments by Schooner to Nakoma, are conflicts inherent in transactions of this type.

After consideration of the factors noted above, together with other factors and information considered to be relevant, the Nakoma Board determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Nakoma Fund shareholders, and accordingly, unanimously approved the Reorganization with the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and the Reorganization Agreement.

TPM Board. At a meeting held on August 30, 2011, the TPM Board considered the proposed Reorganization from the perspective of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund. The TPM Board determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund, and, accordingly, unanimously approved the Reorganization with the Nakoma Fund and the Reorganization Agreement.

Costs and Expenses of the Reorganization. The Reorganization Agreement provides that all expenses of the Reorganization will be borne equally by Schooner and Nakoma. Such expenses include, without limitation: (a) expenses associated with the preparation and filing of this information statement/prospectus; (b) postage; (c) printing; (d) accounting fees; (e) legal fees incurred by the TPM Trust and the Nakoma Trust; and (f) any conversion costs imposed by the Funds’ service providers.

Capitalization. The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Nakoma Fund, and on a pro forma basis the successor Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund, as of September 30, 2011 after giving effect to the Reorganization. Currently, the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund has no assets and no shares outstanding, which is the reason its current capitalization is not shown below.

Schooner has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund to ensure that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive generally of interest and tax expenses, brokerage commissions, extraordinary and non-recurring expenses, AFFE and dividends and interest on short positions) do not exceed 1.95% of the Fund’s average net assets. The expense limitation will remain in effect through at least June 1, 2021, and may be terminated only by the TPM Board. Schooner is permitted to be reimbursed for management fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three fiscal years, subject to the limitation on the Fund’s expenses. Please refer to “Summary – Summary of Fund Expenses” which illustrates the pro forma operating expenses for the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund after giving effect to the Reorganization. A discussion regarding the TPM Board’s basis for approving the investment advisory agreement will be included in the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund’s next semi-annual report to shareholders for the fiscal period ended November 30, 2011.

Under its advisory agreement with the Nakoma Trust, on behalf of the Nakoma Fund, Nakoma manages the Nakoma Fund’s investments and business affairs, subject to the supervision of the Nakoma Board. As compensation for its services, the Nakoma Fund pays Nakoma an annual management fee of 1.50% of its average daily net assets. The advisory fee is computed daily and payable monthly. Nakoma has contractually agreed to reduce all or a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse Fund expenses to ensure that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, transaction costs including brokerage commissions and dividend and interest expense on securities sold short, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.99% of the Fund’s average net assets through at least

October 1, 2012, subject thereafter to annual re-approval of the agreement by the Nakoma Board. This operating expense limitation agreement can be terminated by the Nakoma Board upon 30 days’ prior notice to Nakoma. Nakoma may request a reimbursement from the Fund to recapture any reduced advisory fees or reimbursed Fund expenses within three years following the fee reduction or expense reimbursement, but only to the extent the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (excluding those items noted above) plus any requested reimbursement amount are less than the above limit at the time of the request. Any such reimbursement is subject to review by the Nakoma Board. A discussion regarding the Nakoma Board’s basis for approving the investment advisory agreement is included in the Nakoma Fund’s semi-annual report for the fiscal period ended November 30, 2010.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “Agreement”) is made as of this [·] day of [·], 2011, by and between Trust for Professional Managers, a Delaware statutory trust (“TPM”), on behalf of its series Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), and Nakoma Mutual Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (“NMF”), on behalf of its series Nakoma Absolute Return Fund (the “Acquired Fund,” and, together with the Acquiring Fund, each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Schooner Investment Group, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (“Schooner”), and Nakoma Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NCM”), are parties to this Agreement with respect to paragraph 12.1 hereof only. All agreements, representations, actions and obligations described herein made or to be taken or undertaken by the Acquiring Fund or the Acquired Fund are made and shall be taken or undertaken by TPM on behalf of the Acquiring Fund or NMF on behalf of the Acquired Fund, respectively.

This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization and liquidation within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The reorganization (the “Reorganization”) will consist of (a) the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Acquiring Fund (the “Acquiring Fund Shares”); (b) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Assumed Liabilities as defined in paragraph 1.3; and (c) the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in redemption of all outstanding Acquired Fund shares and in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

TRANSFER OF ACQUIRED FUND ASSETS TO THE ACQUIRING FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR ASSUMPTION OF ACQUIRED FUND LIABILITIES AND ISSUANCE OF ACQUIRING FUND SHARES AND THE LIQUIDATION OF THE ACQUIRED FUND

1.1

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in reliance on the representations and warranties contained herein, at the closing provided for in paragraph 3.1 (the “Closing”), the Acquired Fund agrees to assign, transfer and convey the Acquired Fund Assets (as defined in paragraph 1.2) to the Acquiring Fund, and the Acquiring Fund agrees in exchange therefor: (a) to assume the Assumed Liabilities as defined in paragraph 1.3 and (b) to deliver to the Acquired Fund that number of full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares as determined in accordance with paragraph 2.2.

1.2

(a)

The assets of the Acquired Fund to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund (the “Acquired Fund Assets”) shall consist of all property and assets of the Acquired Fund, including, without limitation, all cash, cash equivalents, securities, commodities and futures interests, dividends and receivables owned by the Acquired Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the Acquired Fund’s books as of the Valuation Time (as defined in paragraph 2.1).

(b)

The Acquired Fund has provided the Acquiring Fund with its most recent audited financial statements, which contain a list of all of the Acquired Fund Assets as of the date of such statements.

1.3

The Acquired Fund will endeavor to discharge all of its liabilities and obligations prior to the Closing Date as defined in paragraph 3.1, other than those liabilities and obligations which would otherwise be discharged at a later date in the ordinary course of business. The Acquiring Fund shall assume all liabilities of the Acquired Fund, whether known or unknown at the Closing Date (the “Assumed Liabilities”).

A-1

1.4

As soon as reasonably practicable after the transfer of Acquired Fund Assets and assumption of Assumed Liabilities provided for in paragraph 1.1, the Acquired Fund will distribute to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders of record, determined as of the Valuation Time (the “Acquired Fund Shareholders”), on a pro rata basis, the Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Acquired Fund from the Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1 and will then completely liquidate. Such distribution will be accomplished by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”), in its capacity as transfer agent for the Acquiring Fund, opening accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders and transferring to each such Acquired Fund Shareholder account the pro rata number of Acquiring Fund Shares due each such Acquired Fund Shareholder from the Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund. The liquidating distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares shall be made by the Acquired Fund to the shareholders of record of the Acquired Fund as of the Valuation Time in redemption of all outstanding shares of stock of the Acquired Fund and in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund, and thereafter the Acquired Fund shall have no shares of stock outstanding. All issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund will simultaneously be canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund. Acquiring Fund Shares will be issued in the manner set forth in the Acquiring Fund’s then current prospectus and statement of additional information; the Acquiring Fund, however, will not issue certificates representing the Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange. Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent.

1.5

Immediately upon delivery of the one share of the Acquiring Fund to the Acquired Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.6 of this Agreement, the Acquired Fund is authorized, as the then initial shareholder of the Acquiring Fund, to approve the investment advisory agreement between TPM, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, and Schooner.

1.6

Upon approval of the matters described in paragraph 1.5 of this Agreement, and immediately prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of the transactions described in paragraph 1.1, the share of the Acquiring Fund acquired by the Acquired Fund pursuant to paragraph 7.1 hereof shall be redeemed by the Acquiring Fund for $10.00. In addition, prior to the transactions described in paragraph 1.1, each Acquired Fund Shareholder shall have the right to receive any dividends or other distributions that were declared prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Acquired Fund shares that are held by such Acquired Fund Shareholders on the Closing Date.

1.7

Any transfer taxes payable upon the issuance of Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than the registered holder of the Acquired Fund shares on the books of the Acquired Fund as of that time shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Acquiring Fund Shares are to be issued and transferred.

1.8

As soon as practicable after the distribution and liquidation described in paragraph 1.4, the Acquired Fund shall take further steps to wind up its affairs and to have its existence terminated as a portfolio of NMF in accordance with Delaware law, and shall file such documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as may be required by the Commission. After the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund shall not conduct any business except in connection with its liquidation.

VALUATION

2.1

The value of the Acquired Fund Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to be assumed by the Acquiring Fund shall be computed as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the Closing Date (the “Valuation Time”) after the declaration and payment of any dividends and/or other distributions on that date, using the Acquired Fund’s valuation procedures as described in the then-current prospectus or statement of additional information; provided, however, that such computation is consistent with the valuation procedures of the Acquiring Fund and in the event of any inconsistency, the parties hereto shall confer and mutually agree on the valuation.

A-2

2.2

The number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued (including fractional shares, if any) in exchange for the Acquired Fund Assets shall be equal to the number of full and fractional Acquired Fund shares outstanding as of the last daily determination of the Acquired Fund’s net asset value on the last business day preceding the Closing Date (after giving effect to any issuances or redemptions of shares of the Acquired Fund prior to or as of such time). The Acquired Fund shall not issue any shares or redeem any shares after the last daily determination of the Acquired Fund’s net asset value on the last business day preceding the Closing Date.

2.3

The share transfer books of the Acquired Fund will be permanently closed at the Valuation Time and only redemption requests made by shareholders of the Acquired Fund pursuant to Section 22(e) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), received in proper form on or prior to the Valuation Time shall be fulfilled by the Acquired Fund; redemption requests received by the Acquired Fund after that time shall be treated as requests for the redemption of the shares of the Acquiring Fund to be distributed to the shareholder in question as provided in paragraph 1.4.

2.4

All computations of value hereunder shall be made by or under the direction of each Fund’s respective accounting agent in accordance with its regular practice and the requirements of the 1940 Act and shall be subject to confirmation by each Fund’s respective independent accountants upon the reasonable request of the other Fund.

CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

3.1

The Closing shall occur on [·], 2011, or such other date as the parties may mutually agree in writing (the “Closing Date”).

The Closing shall be held at the offices of TPM, or such other place as the parties may agree in writing.

3.2

In the event that immediately prior to the Valuation Time, (a) the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund is closed to trading, or trading thereon is restricted, or (b) trading or reporting of trading on the NYSE or elsewhere is disrupted so that accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquired Fund is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

3.3

The Acquired Fund, or its accounting agent, shall deliver to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing the Closing Balance Sheet (including an itemized list of the Acquired Fund Assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund reflected thereon), all of which shall be certified by the Acquired Fund’s accounting agent and NMF’s treasurer. The Acquired Fund, or its accounting agent, shall also deliver to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing confirmation or other adequate evidence as to the adjusted tax basis and holding period of the Acquired Fund Assets delivered to the Acquiring Fund hereunder, as well as the amount, and applicable dates of expiration, of the Acquired Fund’s capital loss carry-forwards.

3.4

The Acquired Fund shall cause its custodian to deliver at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that (a) the Acquired Fund Assets shall have been delivered in proper form to U.S. Bank, N.A. (“USB”), custodian for the Acquiring Fund, prior to or on the Closing Date, and (b) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Acquired Fund Assets have been paid or provision for payment has been made. The cash to be transferred by the Acquired Fund shall be delivered by wire transfer of federal funds on the Closing Date.

3.6

At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills of sale, checks, assignments, stock certificates, receipts and other documents as the other party, or its counsel, may reasonably request to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.7

Any reporting responsibility of the Acquired Fund including, without limitation, the responsibility for filing of regulatory reports, tax returns, or other documents with the Commission, any state securities commission, and any federal, state or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain the responsibility of the Acquired Fund.

3.8

All books and records of the Acquired Fund, including all books and records required to be maintained under the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, shall be available to the Acquiring Fund from and after the Closing Date and copies of all such books and records maintained by the Acquired Fund’s administrator, custodian, distributor or fund accountant shall be turned over to the Acquiring Fund or its agents as soon as practicable following the Closing Date. Any such books and records maintained by UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”) shall be provided to the Acquiring Fund or its agents upon request, provided that UMBFS may retain copies thereof.

Unless otherwise specified, the investment restrictions and limitations are considered to be “fundamental” policies, and as such, may not be changed without approval of the holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and the Nakoma Fund, respectively. The investment objective for both the Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund and the Nakoma Fund is not fundamental and therefore may be changed.

The Board, or the Adviser acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, may determine that a readily available market exists for securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A (“Rule 144A Securities”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any successor to such rule, Section 4(2) commercial paper and municipal lease obligations.

Certain Explanatory Language

The Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund’s Statement of Additional Information includes the following explanatory language concerning its fundamental and non-fundamental investment limitations:

Except with respect to the limitations on borrowing and illiquid securities, if a percentage or rating restriction on investment or use of assets set forth in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information or the Prospectus is adhered to at the time a transaction is effected, later changes in percentage resulting from any cause other than actions by the Fund will not be considered a violation.

The Nakoma Fund’s Statement of Additional Information includes the following explanatory language concerning its fundamental and non-fundamental investment limitations:

Whenever an investment objective, policy or strategy of the Fund discussed in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information or Prospectus states a maximum (or minimum) percentage of the Fund’s assets that may be invested in any type of security or asset class, the percentage is determined immediately after the Fund’s acquisition of that investment, except with respect to percentage limitations on borrowing and illiquid securities. In most cases, the Fund is not required to sell a security because circumstances change and the security no longer meets one or more of the Fund’s policies or restrictions. If a percentage restriction or limitation is met at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in the percentage due to a change in the value or liquidity of portfolio securities will not be considered a violation of the restriction or limitation.

With respect to Fundamental Policy No. 1, the Fund will rely primarily on the industry and industry group classifications under the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”). To the extent that the industry classifications under GICS are so broad that the primary economic characteristics in a single class are materially different, the Fund may further classify issuers in accordance with standard industry classifications as published by the SEC.

With respect to Fundamental Policy No. 6, the phrase “in accordance with the Fund’s investment policies” is not intended to incorporate the Fund’s principal investment strategies as part of this fundamental investment policy.

With respect to Non-Fundamental Policy No. 2, “permitted borrowings” means borrowings not to exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed).

Appendix C

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION FOR THE SCHOONER GLOBAL ABSOLUTE RETURN FUND

Shareholder Information

Share Price

The price of Fund shares is the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share. The NAV per share is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets, less its liabilities, by the number of its shares outstanding. In calculating the NAV, portfolio securities are valued using current market values or official closing prices, if available. The NAV is calculated at the close of regular trading of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), which is normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. The NAV will not be calculated on days that the NYSE is closed for trading.

Each security owned by the Fund that is listed on a securities exchange, including options and futures contracts, is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. Swap agreements are priced by an approved independent pricing service. ETFs and ETNs are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Where a security is listed on more than one exchange, the Fund will use the price on the exchange that the Fund generally considers to be the principal exchange on which the stock is traded. Portfolio securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on an exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, a security is valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices on such day.

When market quotations are not readily available, a security or other asset is valued at its fair value as determined under fair value pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. These fair value pricing procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market and/or world events cause the Advisor to believe that a security’s last sale price may not reflect its actual market value. The intended effect of using fair value pricing procedures is to ensure that the Fund is accurately priced. The Board of Trustees will regularly evaluate whether the Fund’s fair value pricing procedures continue to be appropriate in light of the specific circumstances of the Fund and the quality of prices obtained through their application by the Trust’s valuation committee.

When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, it is possible that the fair value determined for a particular security may be materially different (higher or lower) from the price of the security quoted or published by others or the value when trading resumes or realized upon its sale. Therefore, if a shareholder purchases or redeems Fund shares when the Fund holds securities priced at a fair value, the number of shares purchased or redeemed may be higher or lower than it would be if the Fund were using market value pricing.

In the case of foreign securities, the occurrence of certain events after the close of foreign markets, but prior to the time the Fund’s NAV is calculated (such as a significant surge or decline in the U.S. or other markets) often will result in an adjustment to the trading prices of foreign securities when foreign markets open on the following business day. If such events occur, the Fund will value foreign securities at fair value, taking into account such events, in calculating the NAV. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek to profit by estimating the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time the NAV is calculated. The Advisor anticipates that the Fund’s portfolio holdings will be fair valued only if market quotations for those holdings are considered unreliable.

Investors may be charged a fee if they effect transactions through a financial intermediary. The Fund has authorized one or more financial intermediaries (each an “Authorized Intermediary”) to receive on its behalf purchase and redemption orders. Authorized Intermediaries are authorized to designate other intermediaries to receive purchase and redemption orders on the Fund’s behalf. The Fund will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an Authorized Intermediary or, if applicable, a Authorized Intermediary’s authorized designee, receives

C-1

the order. Customer orders will be priced at the Fund’s NAV per share next computed after they are received by an Authorized Intermediary or its authorized designee.

How to Purchase Shares

Shares of the Fund are purchased at the next NAV per share calculated after your purchase order is received by the Fund, its agents or other authorized financial intermediary.


	Minimum Investment Amounts
Share Purchase Amounts
Minimum Initial Investment		$5,000
Minimum Subsequent Investment		$1,000
Automatic Investment Plan – Monthly Minimum		$250

The Fund will waive the minimum initial investment only at the discretion of Schooner Investment Group, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shareholders will be given at least 30 days’ notice of any increase in the minimum dollar amount of initial or subsequent investments.

If you place an order for Fund shares through a financial intermediary in accordance with such financial intermediary’s procedures, and such financial intermediary then transmits your order to U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) in accordance with the Transfer Agent’s instructions, your purchase will be processed at the NAV per share next calculated after the Transfer Agent receives and accepts your order. The financial intermediary must promise to send to the Transfer Agent immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price in accordance with the Transfer Agent’s procedures. If payment is not received within the time specified, the Transfer Agent may rescind the transaction and the financial intermediary will be held liable for any resulting fees or losses.

In the case of an Authorized Intermediary that has made satisfactory payment or redemption arrangements with the Fund, orders will be processed at the NAV next calculated after receipt by the Authorized Intermediary, consistent with applicable laws and regulations. Financial intermediaries, including Authorized Intermediaries, may set cut-off times for the receipt of orders that are earlier than the cut-off times established by the Fund. For more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures and whether your financial intermediary is an Authorized Intermediary, you should contact your financial intermediary directly.

All account applications (each an “Account Application”) to purchase Fund shares are subject to acceptance by the Fund and are not binding until so accepted. The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order if, in its discretion, it is in the Fund’s best interest to do so. For example, a purchase order may be refused if it appears so large that it would disrupt the management of the Fund. Purchases may also be rejected from persons believed to be “market timers,” as described under the section entitled “Tools to Combat Frequent Transactions,” below. A service fee, currently $25, as well as any loss sustained by the Fund, will be deducted from a shareholder’s account for any purchases that do not clear. Written notice of a rejected purchase order will be provided to the investor within one to two business days under normal circumstances. The Fund and the Transfer Agent will not be responsible for any losses, liability, cost or expense resulting from rejecting any purchase order. Your order will not be accepted until a completed Account Application is received by the Fund or the Transfer Agent.

Purchase Requests Must be Received in Good Order

Your share price will be the next NAV per share calculated after the Transfer Agent or your Authorized Intermediary receives your purchase request in good order. “Good order” means that your purchase request includes:

the name of the Fund;

the dollar amount of shares to be purchased;

your account application or investment stub; and

a check payable to “Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund.”

C-2

All purchase requests received in good order before the close of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) will be processed on that same day. Purchase requests received after 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, will receive the next business day’s NAV per share.

Shares of the Fund have not been registered for sale outside of the United States. The Fund generally does not sell shares to investors residing outside the United States, even if they are United States citizens or lawful permanent residents, except to investors with United States military APO or FPO addresses.

Purchase by Mail. To purchase the Fund’s shares by mail, simply complete and sign the Account Application and mail it, along with a check made payable to “Schooner Global Absolute Return Fund” to:

The Fund does not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery services to be its agents. Therefore, deposit in the mail or with such services, or receipt at U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC post office box, of purchase applications or redemption requests does not constitute receipt by the Transfer Agent. All purchases by check must be in U.S. dollars drawn on a domestic financial institution. The Fund will not accept payment in cash or money orders. The Fund also does not accept cashier’s checks in amounts of less than $10,000. To prevent check fraud, the Fund will not accept third party checks, Treasury checks, credit card checks, traveler’s checks or starter checks for the purchase of shares. The Fund is unable to accept post-dated checks, post-dated online bill pay checks, or any conditional order or payment.

Purchase by Wire. If you are making your first investment in the Fund, before you wire funds the Transfer Agent must have a completed Account Application. You can mail or use an overnight service to deliver your Account Application to the Transfer Agent at the above address. Upon receipt of your completed Account Application the Transfer Agent will establish an account for you. Once your account has been established you may instruct your bank to send the wire. Prior to sending the wire please call the Transfer Agent at 1-866-724-5997 to advise them of the wire and to ensure proper credit upon receipt. Your bank must include the name of the Fund, your name and account number so that monies can be correctly applied. Your bank should transmit immediately available funds by wire to:


Wire to:	U.S. Bank N.A.
ABA Number:	075000022
Credit:	U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC
Account:	112-952-137

Wired funds must be received prior to the close of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time), to be eligible for same day pricing. The Fund and U.S. Bank N.A., the Fund’s custodian, are not responsible for the consequences of delays from the banking or Federal Reserve wire system, or from incomplete wiring instructions.

Subsequent Investments. The minimum subsequent investment is $1,000 (unless you have elected to participate in an Automatic Investment Plan as described herein). Shareholders will be given at least 30 days’ written notice of any increase in the minimum dollar amount of subsequent investments. You may add to your account at any time by purchasing shares by mail, by telephone or by wire. You must call to notify the Fund at 1-866-724-5997 before wiring. A remittance form, which is attached to your individual account statement, should accompany any investments made through the mail. All purchase requests must include your shareholder account number.

C-3

Investing by Telephone. If you have completed the “Telephone Purchase Authorization” section of the Account Application, you may purchase additional shares by telephoning the Fund at 1-866-724-5997. This option allows investors to move money from their bank account to their Fund account upon request. Only bank accounts held at domestic financial institutions that are Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) members may be used for telephone transactions. The minimum telephone purchase amount is $1,000. If your order is received prior to the close of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time), shares will be purchased in your account at the NAV determined on the day your order is placed.

Automatic Investment Plan. For your convenience, the Fund offers an Automatic Investment Plan (“AIP”). Under the AIP, after your initial investment, you may authorize the Fund to withdraw automatically from your personal checking or savings account an amount that you wish to invest, which must be at least $250, on a monthly basis. In order to participate in the AIP, your bank must be a member of the ACH network. If you wish to enroll in the AIP, complete the appropriate section in the Account Application. The Fund may terminate or modify this privilege at any time. You may terminate your participation in the AIP at any time by notifying the Transfer Agent five days prior to the effective date of the request. A fee (currently $25) will be charged if your bank does not honor the AIP draft for any reason.

Anti-Money Laundering Program. The Trust has established an Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Program (the “Program”) as required by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”) and related anti-money laundering laws and regulations. To ensure compliance with these laws, the Account Application asks for, among other things, the following information for all “customers” seeking to open an “account” (as those terms are defined in rules adopted pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act):

full name;

date of birth (individuals only);

Social Security or taxpayer identification number; and

permanent street address (a P.O. Box alone is not acceptable).

Accounts opened by entities, such as corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships or trusts will require additional documentation.

Please note that if any information listed above is missing, your Account Application will be returned and your account will not be opened. In compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act and other applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, the Transfer Agent will verify the information on your application as part of the Program. The Fund reserves the right to request additional clarifying information and may close your account if such clarifying information is not received by the Fund within a reasonable time of the request or if the Fund cannot form a reasonable belief as to the true identity of a customer. If you require additional assistance when completing your application, please contact the Fund at 1-866-724-5997.

How to Redeem Shares

In general, orders to sell or “redeem” shares may be placed either directly with the Fund or through a financial intermediary. However, if you originally purchased your shares through a financial intermediary, your redemption order must be placed with the same financial intermediary in accordance with the procedures established by that financial intermediary. Your financial intermediary is responsible for sending your order to the Transfer Agent and for crediting your account with the proceeds. You may redeem all or part of your Fund shares on any business day that the Fund calculates its NAV. To redeem shares with the Fund, you must contact the Fund either by mail or by phone to place a redemption order. Your redemption request must be received in good order (as discussed under “Payment of Redemption Proceeds,” below) prior to the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) by the Transfer Agent or by your Authorized Intermediary in order to obtain that day’s closing NAV. Redemption requests received after the close of the NYSE will be treated as though received on the next business day.

C-4

Shareholders who have an IRA or other retirement plan must indicate on their redemption request whether or not to withhold federal income tax. Redemption requests failing to indicate an election not to have tax withheld will generally be subject to 10% withholding. IRA accounts may not be redeemed by telephone.

Payment of Redemption Proceeds. You may redeem your Fund shares at a price equal to the NAV per share next determined after the Transfer Agent receives your redemption request in good order. Your redemption request cannot be processed on days the NYSE is closed. All requests received by the Fund in good order before the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) will usually be sent on the next business day.

A redemption request will be deemed in “good order” if it includes:

the shareholder’s name;

the name of the Fund you are redeeming;

the account number;

the share or dollar amount to be redeemed; and

signatures of all shareholders on the account and a signature guarantee(s), if applicable.

You may have a check sent to the address of record, proceeds may be wired to your pre-established bank account or funds may be sent via electronic funds transfer through the ACH network using the bank instructions previously established for your account. Redemption proceeds will typically be sent on the business day following your redemption. Wires are subject to a $15 fee. There is no charge to have proceeds sent via ACH; however, funds are typically credited to your bank within two to three days after redemption. Unless noted, proceeds will be processed within seven calendar days after the Fund receives your redemption request unless the check used to purchase the shares has not cleared.

Before selling recently purchased shares, please note that if the Transfer Agent has not yet collected payment for the shares you are selling, it may delay sending the proceeds until the payment is collected, which may take up to 12 calendar days from the purchase date. Furthermore, there are certain times when you may be unable to sell Fund shares or receive proceeds. Specifically, the Fund may suspend the right to redeem shares or postpone the date of payment upon redemption for more than seven calendar days: (1) for any period during which the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend or holiday closings) or trading on the NYSE is restricted; (2) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to fairly determine the value of its net assets; or (3) for such other periods as the SEC may permit for the protection of shareholders. The Fund will automatically redeem shares if a purchase check is returned for insufficient funds, and the shareholder’s account will be charged for any loss. The Trust reserves the right to make a “redemption in kind” payment in portfolio securities rather than cash.

Redemption proceeds will be sent to the address of record. The Fund is not responsible for interest lost on redemption amounts due to lost or misdirected mail. The Transfer Agent may require a signature guarantee for certain redemption requests. A signature guarantee assures that your signature is genuine and protects you from unauthorized account redemptions. Signature guarantees can be obtained from banks and securities dealers, but not from a notary public. A signature guarantee of each owner is required in the following situations:

if ownership is being changed on your account;

when redemption proceeds are payable or sent to any person, address or bank account not on record;

if a change of address request has been received by the Transfer Agent within the last 15 days; and

for all redemptions in excess of $100,000 from any shareholder account.

Non-financial transactions, including establishing or modifying certain services on an account, may require a signature verification from a Signature Validation Program member or other acceptable form of authentication from a financial institution source.

C-5

In addition to the situations described above, the Fund and the Transfer Agent reserve the right to require a signature guarantee or other acceptable signature verification in other instances based on the circumstances relative to the particular situation.

Redemption by Mail. You can execute most redemptions by furnishing an unconditional written request to the Fund to redeem your shares at the current NAV. Redemption requests in writing should be sent to the Transfer Agent at:

Telephone Redemption. If you have been authorized to perform telephone transactions (either by completing the required portion of your Account Application or by subsequent arrangement in writing with the Fund), you may redeem shares, up to $100,000, by instructing the Fund by phone at 1-866-724-5997. A signature verification from a Signature Validation Program member or other acceptable form of authentication from a financial institution source may be required of all shareholders in order to change telephone redemption privileges on an existing account. Telephone redemptions will not be made if you have notified the Transfer Agent of a change of address within 15 days before the redemption request. If you have a retirement account, you may not redeem shares by telephone. Once a telephone transaction has been placed, it cannot be cancelled or modified.

Note: Neither the Fund nor any of its service providers will be liable for any loss or expense in acting upon instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine. To confirm that all telephone instructions are genuine, the Fund will use reasonable procedures, such as requesting:

that you correctly state your Fund account number;

the name in which your account is registered; and

the Social Security or taxpayer identification number under which the account is registered.

Wire Redemption. Wire transfers may be arranged to redeem shares. The Transfer Agent charges a fee, currently $15, per wire which will be deducted from your proceeds on a complete or share-specific trade. The fee will be deducted from your remaining account balance on dollar specific redemptions.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan. The Fund offers a systematic withdrawal plan (the “SWP”) whereby shareholders or their representatives may request a redemption in a specific dollar amount be sent to them monthly, quarterly or annually. Investors may choose to have a check sent to the address of record, or proceeds may be sent to a pre-designated bank account via the ACH network. To start the SWP, your account must have Fund shares with a value of at least $10,000, and the minimum amount is $250. The SWP may be terminated or modified by the Fund at any time. Any request to change or terminate your SWP should be communicated in writing or by telephone to the Transfer Agent no later than five days before the next scheduled withdrawal. A withdrawal under the SWP involves a redemption of Fund shares, and may result in a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. In addition, if the amount withdrawn exceeds the amounts credited to your account, the account ultimately may be depleted. To establish the SWP, complete the SWP section of the Account Application. Please call 1-866-724-5997 for additional information regarding the SWP.

The Fund’s Right to Redeem an Account. If an account balance is less than $5,000, other than as a result of a decline in the NAV or for market reasons, the Fund reserves the right to either: (1) redeem the shares of any shareholder whose account balance is below the minimum amount specified and remit the proceeds to the shareholder, less any applicable fees; or (2) deduct a $50 annual account maintenance fee at the Fund’s fiscal year end. Failure or delay in exercising this right does not constitute a waiver of the Fund’s right to redeem the shares in accounts below the minimum balance required.

C-6

Redemption-in-Kind. The Fund generally pays redemption proceeds in cash. However, under unusual conditions that make the payment of cash unwise (and for the protection of the Fund’s remaining shareholders), the Fund may pay all or part of a shareholder’s redemption proceeds in liquid securities with a market value equal to the redemption price (redemption-in-kind).

Specifically, if the amount you are redeeming during any 90-day period is in excess of the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the NAV of the Fund, valued at the beginning of such period, the Fund has the right to redeem your shares by giving you the amount that exceeds $250,000 or 1% of the NAV of the Fund in securities instead of cash. If the Fund pays your redemption proceeds by a distribution of securities, you could incur brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash, and will bear any market risks associated with such securities until they are converted into cash.

Tools to Combat Frequent Transactions

The Fund is intended for long-term investors. Short-term “market-timers” who engage in frequent purchases and redemptions may disrupt the Fund’s investment program and create additional transaction costs that are borne by all of the Fund’s shareholders. The Board of Trustees has adopted polices and procedures that are designed to discourage excessive, short-term trading and other abusive trading practices that may disrupt portfolio management strategies and harm performance. The Fund takes steps to reduce the frequency and effect of these activities in the Fund. These steps include, among other things, monitoring trading activity and using fair value pricing. Although these efforts are designed to discourage abusive trading practices, these tools cannot eliminate the possibility that such activity will occur. The Fund seeks to exercise its judgment in implementing these tools to the best of its abilities in a manner that it believes is consistent with shareholder interests. Except as noted herein, the Fund applies all restrictions uniformly in all applicable cases.

Monitoring Trading Practices. The Fund monitors selected trades in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, the Fund believes that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, it may, in its discretion, ask the shareholder to stop such activities or refuse to process purchases in the shareholder’s accounts. In making such judgments, the Fund seeks to act in a manner that it believes is consistent with the best interests of its shareholders. The Fund uses a variety of techniques to monitor for and detect abusive trading practices. These techniques may change from time to time as determined by the Fund in its sole discretion. To minimize harm to the Fund and its shareholders, the Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order (but not a redemption request), in whole or in part, for any reason and without prior notice. The Fund may decide to restrict purchase and sale activity in its shares based on various factors, including whether frequent purchase and sale activity will disrupt portfolio management strategies and adversely affect Fund performance.

Fair Value Pricing. The Fund employs fair value pricing selectively to ensure greater accuracy in its daily NAV and to prevent dilution by frequent traders or market timers who seek to take advantage of temporary market anomalies. The Board of Trustees has developed procedures which utilize fair value pricing when reliable market quotations are not readily available or the Fund’s pricing service does not provide a valuation (or provides a valuation that, in the judgment of the Advisor, does not represent the security’s fair value), or when, in the judgment of the Advisor, events have rendered the market value unreliable. Valuing securities at fair value involves reliance on judgment. Fair value determinations are made in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. There can be no assurance that the Fund will obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV per share. More detailed information regarding fair value pricing can be found in this Prospectus under the heading entitled “Share Price.”

Due to the complexity and subjectivity involved in identifying abusive trading activity and the volume of shareholder transactions the Fund handles, there can be no assurance that the Fund’s efforts will identify all trades or trading practices that may be considered abusive. In particular, since the Fund receives purchase and sale orders through Financial Intermediaries that use group or omnibus accounts, the Fund cannot always detect frequent trading. However, the Fund will work with financial institutions as necessary to discourage shareholders from engaging in abusive trading practices and to impose restrictions on excessive trades. In this regard, the Fund has entered into information sharing agreements with financial intermediaries pursuant to which these intermediaries are required to provide to the Fund, at the Fund’s request, certain information relating to their customers investing in the Fund through non-disclosed or omnibus accounts. The Fund will use this information to attempt to identify abusive trading practices. Financial intermediaries are contractually required to follow any instructions from the Fund to

C-7

restrict or prohibit future purchases from shareholders that are found to have engaged in abusive trading in violation of the Fund’s policies. However, the Fund cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided to it from financial intermediaries and cannot ensure that it will always be able to detect abusive trading practices that occur through non-disclosed and omnibus accounts. As a result, the Fund’s ability to monitor and discourage abusive trading practices in non-disclosed and omnibus accounts may be limited.

Other Fund Policies

Telephone Transactions

If you elect telephone privileges on the account application or in a letter to the Fund, you may be responsible for any fraudulent telephone orders as long as the Fund has taken reasonable precautions to verify your identity. In addition, once you place a telephone transaction request, it cannot be cancelled or modified.

During periods of significant economic or market change, telephone transactions may be difficult to complete. Telephone trades must be received by or prior to market close. During periods of high market activity, shareholders may encounter higher than usual call wait times. Please allow sufficient time to ensure that you will be able to complete your telephone transaction prior to market close. If you are unable to contact the Fund by telephone, you may also mail your requests to the Fund at the address listed previously in the “How to Purchase Shares” section, above. Neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent are liable for any loss incurred due to failure to complete a telephone transaction prior to market close.

Policies of Other Financial Intermediaries

An Authorized Intermediary may establish policies that differ from those of the Fund. For example, the institution may charge transaction fees, set higher minimum investments or impose certain limitations on buying or selling shares in addition to those identified in this Prospectus. Please contact your Authorized Intermediary for details.

Householding

In an effort to decrease costs, the Fund intends to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses and annual and semi-annual reports you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts and to shareholders we reasonably believe are from the same family or household. If you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 1-866-724-5997 to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Fund receives notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request. This policy does not apply to account statements.

General Policies

Your account may be transferred to your state of residence if no activity occurs within your account during the “inactivity period” specified in your state’s abandoned property laws.

Distribution of Fund Shares

The Distributor

Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) is located at 615 East Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202, and serves as distributor and principal underwriter to the Fund. The Distributor is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Shares of the Fund are offered on a continuous basis.

Distributions and Taxes

Distributions

The Fund will make distributions of net investment income and capital gains, if any, at least annually, typically during the month of December. The Fund may make additional distributions if it deems it desirable at another time during any year.

C-8

All distributions will be reinvested in Fund shares unless you choose one of the following options: (1) receive distributions of net capital gains in cash, while reinvesting net investment income distributions in additional Fund shares; (2) receive all distributions in cash; or (3) reinvest net capital gain distributions in additional fund shares, while receiving distributions of net investment income in cash.

If you wish to change your distribution option, write to the Transfer Agent in advance of the payment date of the distribution. However, any such change will be effective only as to distributions for which the record date is five or more days after the Transfer Agent has received your written request.

If you elect to receive distributions in cash and the U.S. Postal Service is unable to deliver your check, or if a check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund reserves the right to reinvest the distribution check in your account at the Fund’s then current NAV per share and to reinvest all subsequent distributions.

Tax Consequences

Distributions of the Fund’s net investment company taxable income (which includes, but is not limited to, interest, dividends, net short-term capital gains and net gains from foreign currency transactions), if any, are generally taxable to the Fund’s shareholders as ordinary income. To the extent that the Fund’s distributions of net investment company taxable income are reported as attributable to “qualified dividend” income, such income is currently subject to tax at the reduced rate of Federal income tax applicable to non-corporate shareholders for net long-term capital gains, if certain holding period requirements have been satisfied by the shareholder. The current federal tax provisions applicable to “qualified dividends” are scheduled to expire for tax years beginning after December 31, 2012. To the extent the Fund’s distributions of net investment company taxable income are attributable to net short-term capital gains, such distributions will be treated as ordinary income for the purposes of income tax reporting and will not be available to offset a shareholder’s capital losses from other investments.

To the extent the Fund’s distributions of net capital gains (net long-term capital gains less net short-term capital losses) are reported as capital gain distributions, such distributions will generally be taxable as long-term capital gains (currently at a maximum rate of 15% through December 31, 2012) regardless of the length of time that a shareholder has owned Fund shares.

You will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive your distributions (whether of net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) in cash or reinvest them in additional Fund shares. However, distributions declared in October, November or December to shareholders of record on a date in such a month and paid the following January are taxable as if received on December 31.

Shareholders who sell or redeem shares generally will have a capital gain or loss from the sale or redemption. The amount of the gain or loss and the applicable rate of Federal income tax will depend generally upon the amount paid for the shares, the amount received from the sale or redemption and how long the shares were held by a shareholder. Any loss arising from the sale or redemption of shares held for six months or less, however, is treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any amounts treated as distributions of net capital gain received on such shares. In determining the holding period of such shares for this purpose, any period during which your risk of loss is offset by means of options, short sales or similar transactions is not counted. If you purchase Fund shares within thirty days before or after redeeming other Fund shares at a loss, all or part of that loss will not be deductible and will instead increase the basis of the newly purchased shares.

The federal tax status of all distributions made by the Fund for the preceding year will be annually reported to shareholders. Distributions by the Fund may also be subject to state and local taxes. Additional tax information may be found in the SAI.

This section is not intended to be a full discussion of Federal tax laws and the effect of such laws on you. There may be other federal, state, foreign or local tax considerations applicable to a particular investor. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor.

Item 15.

Indemnification

Reference is made to Article X of the Registrant’s Declaration of Trust.

Pursuant to Rule 484 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant furnishes the following undertaking: “Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.”
