Expense Example:
The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in each class of the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of each period, unless otherwise indicated. The examples also assume that you earn a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the expense example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was
44.43
% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks that the Fund’s investment adviser, Olstein Capital Management, L.P. (“OCM”), believes are significantly undervalued. OCM follows an accounting-driven, value-oriented approach that emphasizes looking behind the numbers of financial statements based on the belief that the price of a common stock may not reflect the intrinsic value of the issuing company’s underlying business.
When evaluating stocks for the Fund, OCM undertakes an in-depth analysis of financial statements as it seeks to identify early warning signs of potential changes in a company’s ability to generate sustainable free cash flow as well as its potential to grow. When determining sustainable free cash flow and the quality of earnings, OCM assesses the accounting practices and assumptions used to construct financial statements against the economic reality of the company’s business. OCM believes that in-depth analysis of financial statements reveals the success of a company’s strategy, sustainability of its performance and impact of management decisions on future cash flow and is more useful to an investor than management forecasts or earnings guidance.
OCM believes stock prices often fall below a company’s private market value as a result of a short-term focus on, or an overreaction to, negative information regarding the company or its industry, or negative overall market psychology. The Fund seeks to capitalize on market volatility and the valuation extremes specific to a company by purchasing its stock at prices that OCM believes can result in above-average capital appreciation if the deviation between stock price and OCM’s estimate of the company’s private market value is corrected by market forces or other catalysts that change perceptions.
Although the Fund uses several valuation methods to determine private market value, all methods emphasize expected future free cash flow (after capital expenditures and working capital needs). The
Fund’s bottom-up analysis seeks to identify companies with unique business fundamentals and a competitive edge, which usually provide a greater predictability of future free cash flow. Companies with free cash flow have the potential to enhance shareholder value by increasing dividends, repurchasing shares, reducing debt, engaging in strategic acquisitions, withstanding an economic downturn without adopting harmful short term strategies or being an attractive acquisition target.
The Fund will invest in companies without regard to whether they are conventionally categorized as small, medium, or large capitalization or whether they are characterized as growth (growth is a component of the Fund’s definition of value), value, cyclical, or any other category. The Fund may invest up to
20% of its net assets in foreign securities
that are traded in U.S. dollars, but the Fund’s foreign investments will be limited to investments in developed countries, rather than countries with developing or emerging markets.
Main Risks
There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objectives. Each of the risks listed below has the potential (individually or in any combination) to affect adversely the net asset value of the Fund and cause you to lose money.
Stock Market Risk:
The Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices may decline over short or even extended periods of time.
Management Risk:
The investment techniques used by OCM may not produce the desired results and cause the Fund to underperform its benchmarks or mutual fund peers.
Small- and Mid-Sized Company Risk
: Small- and mid-sized companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, these companies may have an unproven or narrow technological base and limited product lines, distribution channels, and market and financial resources, and small capitalization companies also may be dependent on entrepreneurial management, making the companies more susceptible to certain setbacks and reversals.
Value Investing Style Risk:
The Fund uses a value-oriented investment approach. However, a particular value stock may not increase in price as anticipated by OCM (and may actually decline in price) if other investors fail to recognize the stock’s value or if a catalyst that OCM believes will increase the price of the stock does not occur or does not affect the price of the stock in the manner or to the degree anticipated.
Foreign Investing Risk:
Investing in foreign companies typically involves more risks than investing in U.S. companies. These risks can increase the potential for losses in the Fund and may include risks related to currency exchange rate fluctuations, country or government specific issues (for example, terrorism, war, social and economic instability, currency devaluations, and restrictions on foreign investment or the movement of assets), unfavorable trading practices, less government supervision, less publicly available information, limited trading markets and greater volatility.
Performance
The bar chart and tables shown below illustrate the variability of the Fund’s returns.

The 1 Year total return figures for Class C assume that the shareholder redeemed at the end of the first year and paid the CDSC of 1.00%. The average annual total returns for Class C shown for 5 Years and 10 Years do not include the CDSC because there is no CDSC if shares are held longer than 1 year.

Effective October 31, 2013, the Board of Trustees of the Trust terminated the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Shareholder Servicing and Distribution Plan. If the elimination of the Adviser Class’s Rule 12b-1 Shareholder Servicing and Distribution Plan had been reflected in the performance information in the table above, assuming no other changes but the elimination of the Adviser Class’s Rule 12b-1 fee, performance would have been higher for the Adviser Class shares.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Your actual after-tax returns depend on your particular tax situation and may differ from those shown. These after-tax return figures do not apply to you if you hold your Fund shares through a tax-deferred arrangement such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account (“IRA”). The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future.
