Past performance is not indicative of future results, current performance may be higher or lower than the performance date quoted. Investment returns may fluctuate; the value of your investment upon redemption may be more or less than the initial amount invested. All returns are net of expenses.
Please consider a fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The FAM Funds prospectus or summary prospectus contains this and other important information about the FAM Small Cap Fund and should be read carefully before you invest or send money. The principal risks of investing in the fund are: stock market risk (stocks fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and to general stock market and economic conditions), stock selection risk (Fenimore utilizes a value approach to stock selection and there is risk that the stocks selected may not realize their intrinsic value, or their price may go down over time), and small-cap risk (prices of small-cap companies can fluctuate more than the stocks of larger companies and may not correspond to changes in the stock market in general).

Disclosure: The Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio as stated in the fee table of the Fund’s most recent prospectus is 1.29% after fee recoupment of 0.01% for the investor class. The Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio as stated in the fee table of the Fund’s most recent prospectus is 1.18% after fee recoupment of 0.01% for the Institutional Class. When excluding Acquired Funds Fees and Expenses, which are not direct costs paid by the Fund’s shareholders and fee waivers, the total annual operating expense as reported in the FAM Small Cap Fund’s audited financial statements for the Investor Class is 1.29% and the Institutional Class is 1.17% as of 12/31/20. The Advisor has contractually agreed, until May 1, 2020, to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund certain expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage costs, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, dividend expense and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to maintain Net Fund Operating Expenses for Investor Shares at 1.42% and Institutional Shares at 1.20%.
Institutional Class shares became available for sale on January 1, 2016. For performance prior to that date, this table includes the actual performance of the Fund's Investor Class (and uses the Fund's Investor Class’ actual expenses), without adjustment. The performance results shown on this and the next page for the periods prior to January 1, 2016, the date of commencement of operations for Institutional Shares, are for the Investor Shares, which are subject to higher fees due to differences in the shareholder administrative services fees and certain other fees paid by each class. Institutional Shares and Investor Shares would have substantially similar performance results because the shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio securities of the Fund. Because of the difference in the level of fees paid by Investor Shares, the returns for the Investor Shares will be lower than the returns of the Institutional Shares.
