Overall Morningstar Rating:    out of 225 funds in the Municipal Single State Intermediate Funds Category Based on Risk Adjusted Returns
The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Armada Michigan Intermediate Municipal Bond A was rated against the following numbers of U.S.-domiciled Municipal Single State Intermediate funds over the following time periods: 225 funds in the last three years, 200 funds in the last five years, and 121 funds in the last ten years. With respect to these Municipal Single State Intermediate funds, Armada MI Intermediate Municipal Bond A received a Morningstar Rating of 2 stars, 2 stars and 1 star for the three-, five- and ten-year periods, respectively. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating (based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure) that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star.

The index provided is an unmanaged index for which direct investment is not possible. Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of the index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

1 The performance of the Armada Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund for periods prior to its inception date of April 9, 1998 is that of predecessor common trust funds. The common trust funds were unregistered under the 1940 Act and therefore not subject to certain investment restrictions that may have adversely affected performance. The past performance of such common trust funds is separate and distinct from the performance of the Funds, and does not represent the past performance of the Fund.

2 For some investors, income may be subject to state and or local taxes, and certain investors may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).

3 An investment in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the Fund’s yield will decline due to falling interest rates.

4 The Fund’s focus on investments in securities of issuers located in a single state makes the Fund susceptible to economic, political, and regulatory events that affect that state.

5 This Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in securities of relatively few issuers. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible than a diversified fund to a single adverse economic or political and regulatory occurrence affecting one or more issuers.
