Performance shown before September 2013 is for the Fund’s predecessor limited liability company (Harbor Assets, LLC). The prior performance is net of management fees and other expenses including the effect of the performance fee. The Fund has been managed in the same style and by the same portfolio manager since the predecessor limited liability company’s inception on December 16, 2005. The Fund’s investment goals, policies, guidelines and restrictions are, in all material respects, equivalent to the predecessor limited liability company’s investment goals, policies, guidelines and restrictions. From its inception on December 16, 2005 through the date of this prospectus, the predecessor limited liability company was not subject to certain investment restrictions, diversification requirements and other restrictions of the 1940 Act of the Code, which if they had been applicable, might have adversely affected its performance. In addition, the predecessor limited partnership was not subject to sales loads that would have adversely affected performance. Performance of the predecessor fund is not an indicator of future results.
