Gross expense ratio as stated in the most recent prospectus. The Adviser has contractually limited total fund operating expenses to not exceed 1.75% for the All American Equity Fund (exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses of 0.01%), 0.70% for the Tax Free Fund, 0.45% for the Near-Term Tax Free Fund, 0.45% for the U.S. Government Securities Savings Fund and 1.00% for the U.S. Treasury Securities Cash Fund on an annualized basis through November 1, 2008, and until such later date as the Adviser determines. The Adviser has contractually limited total fund operating expenses to not exceed 2.50% (exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses of 0.06%) for the Global Emerging Markets Fund on an annualized basis through February 28, 2009, and until such later date as the Adviser determines. Effective May 12, 2008, the Adviser has contractually limited total fund operating expenses (exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses of 0.01%) not to exceed 1.85% for the Global MegaTrends Fund on an annualized basis through October 31, 2008, or such later date as the Adviser determines. Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Results reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance does not include the effect of any direct fees described in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., short-term trading fees, if applicable, of up to 2.00%) which, if applicable, would lower your total returns. Obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end at www.usfunds.com or 1-800-US-FUNDS, option 5. High double-digit returns are attributable, in part, to unusually favorable market conditions and may not be repeated or consistently achieved in the future.
Please consider carefully the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. For this and other important information, obtain a fund prospectus by visiting www.usfunds.com/advisor or by calling 1-800-873-3639, option 2. Read it carefully before investing.

An investment in a money market fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
*Year-to-date returns are not annualized.
Foreign and emerging market investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation and less public disclosure, as well as economic and political risk. Gold funds may be susceptible to adverse economic, political or regulatory developments due to concentrating in a single theme. The price of gold is subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of time and may be affected by unpredicted international monetary and political policies. We suggest investing no more than 5% to 10% of your portfolio in gold or gold stocks. Investing in small- and mid-cap stocks may be more risky and more volatile than investing in large-cap stocks. Tax-exempt Income is federal income tax free. A portion of this income may be subject to state and local income taxes, and if applicable, may subject certain investors to the Alternative Minimum Tax as well. Bond funds are subject to interest-rate risk; their value declines as interest rates rise.
