The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in the equity securities of companies domiciled outside of the United States, (“Non-U.S. Companies”), identified by Eventide Asset Management, LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser” ), as creating value for stakeholders (customers, employees, supply chain, community, environment, and society) using the Adviser’s faith-based screening criteria as more fully described below under “Faith-Based Screening.” The Adviser actively manages the Fund using a long-only investment approach, and seeks to achieve its objective while generating performance that is similar to the performance of the Bloomberg World ex US Large & Mid Cap Total Return Index (the “Strategy Benchmark”) before Fund fees and expenses. The Strategy Benchmark is a float market-cap-weighted equity benchmark that covers the top 85% of market capitalization of the measured market. The Fund is not an index fund and the Adviser is not required to purchase any specific securities or amount of securities included in the Fund’s Strategy Benchmark.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in the equity securities of Non-U.S. Companies that have an average market capitalization that typically falls within the range of companies included in the Strategy Benchmark. The market capitalization range of companies within the Fund’s Strategy Benchmark is $46.2 million to $1.96 trillion as of June 30, 2026. The equity securities that the Fund may invest in include common stock traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges, American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”), and Global Depository Receipts (“GDRs”). The Fund is not required to allocate its investments in set percentages in particular countries; however, the Fund expects to be invested in companies from at least three different countries outside the U.S., including emerging market countries, at any given time. The Fund may increase or decrease exposures to countries, or concentrate in certain sectors, to the extent necessary to reduce active risk compared with its Strategy Benchmark. The Fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in a particular industry or group of industries, except that the Fund may concentrate 25% to 35% of its total assets in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that such industry or group of industries represents 20% or more of the Fund’s Strategy Benchmark.

Stock selection is supported by the Adviser’s fundamental research, including the faith-based screening criteria described below. The Adviser effects portfolio changes for the Fund on an ongoing basis as it deems necessary and appropriate, and may consider overall market conditions and trading volumes when making investment decisions. The Fund will seek to maintain at least 50 issuers in its portfolio in normal market conditions. The Adviser monitors the portfolio and uses research and quantitative modeling and risk tools to reasonably adjust the active weight of portfolio securities in order to improve the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective and reduce active risk compared with its Strategy Benchmark. While actively managing the portfolio, the Adviser will utilize quantitative tools as an input to the management of position sizes on a forward-looking basis, including to help mitigate the impact of individual sectors, industries, and stylistic factors (e.g., quantitative factors such as growth, momentum, quality and value) on active risk and the Fund’s ability to perform in a manner that is similar to the performance of the Strategy Benchmark before Fund fees and expenses.

Faith-Based Screening. The Adviser uses its proprietary screening methodology to analyze all potential investments for the company’s ability to operate with integrity and to create value for customers, employees, and other stakeholders by reflecting the values described below. The values assessed in the Adviser’s screening process are inspired by the Christian faith and rooted in a biblical worldview. While few companies may reach these ideals in every area of their business, these principles articulate the Adviser’s highest expectations for the companies in which the Fund invests. The Adviser uses its screening processes in connection with other fundamental research processes to establish the Fund’s eligible investment universe. Securities are generally ineligible within the Fund’s portfolio unless the Adviser believes that the faith-based screens are met. If the Adviser’s research identifies events and/or business changes suggesting that a portfolio company no longer meets the faith-based criteria, the Fund may hold the company’s securities while the Adviser performs additional research, including possible direct engagement with the company to assess practices. The Adviser’s faith-based screening process for potential investments does not apply relative weights between values-based factors and financial factors. There is no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to successfully screen out all companies that are inconsistent with the following principles which help to guide the Adviser’s research and investment framework. Specifically, the Adviser seeks to invest in companies that reflect the following values:

The Adviser applies a combination of methods within its fundamental research process and systems to help cover a range of company-related information. This includes qualitative and quantitative data that can inform the Adviser’s investment decisions, such as company reports, news and research offered by third parties. This information can reflect on a company’s financial and competitive position, risks, and business reputation and ethical standing in the marketplace. The Adviser typically obtains values-based data from multiple third-party providers, which the Adviser changes from time to time based on research needs and industry developments. Values-based data offers additional inputs to the Adviser’s fundamental research process and investment framework. The Adviser views third-party information as part of its overall research rather than assigning any particular data source as the determinative factor in investment decisions. The Adviser believes that considering a broad range of research information, from multiple sources, can help to mitigate risks associated with misinterpreting data or relying on inaccurate information provided by third parties, but cannot guarantee that any third-party information it receives is accurate or free of defects. The Adviser maintains research supporting its investment decisions.

Securities may be sold when the Adviser believes that they no longer represent relatively attractive investment opportunities or serve the Fund’s principal investment strategy to generate performance that is similar to the performance of the Strategy Benchmark before Fund fees and expenses, or when the Adviser believes the underlying company is no longer consistent with the Adviser’s faith-based values.
