Performance data quoted here represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information quoted. For performance data including the effects of sales charges, Class A shares reflect the deduction of a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. If sales charges were included, performance shown would be lower. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end please call 800.825.6226.
For Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% will be imposed on certain redemptions of such shares within 12 months of the date of purchase. No sales charge applies on investments of $500,000 or more.
The Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of the Pioneer Oak Ridge Small Cap Growth Fund (the “predecessor fund”) on October 17, 2014, at the same time as a change in control of the Advisor. As a result of the reorganization, the Fund is the accounting successor of the predecessor fund. Performance results shown in the bar chart and the performance table below for the period prior to October 17, 2014, reflect the performance of the predecessor fund. The predecessor fund acquired the assets and liabilities of another fund on February 13, 2004. Performance results shown for the period prior to February 13, 2004 reflect the performance of the prior fund.

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION


Important Risks: Equity securities, such as common stocks, are subject to market, economic and business risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate. Investments made in small capitalization companies may be more volatile and less liquid due to limited resources or product lines and more sensitive to economic factors. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involves certain risks such as currency volatility, political and social instability and reduced market liquidity. Emerging markets may be more volatile and less liquid than more developed markets and therefore may involve greater risks. The Fund invests in ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) and is therefore subject to the same risks as the underlying securities in which the ETF invests as well as entails higher expenses than if invested into the underlying ETF directly.

Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained by calling 855-551-5521 or clicking here. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest. Distributed by IMST Distributors, LLC.

1 The portfolio is actively managed and current holdings may be different. The holdings listed should not be considered recommendations to buy or sell any security listed.

2 P/E refers to the price of a stock divided by its earnings per share. Reflects weighted average of trailing 12-month price-to-earnings ratios of portfolio holdings. Market Capitalization reflects the total U.S. -denominated portion of the portfolio. Turnover Ratio is the percentage of a fund's assets that have changed over the course of a given time period, usually a year. Mutual funds with higher turnover ratios tend to have higher expenses.

3 Public Offering Price reflects deduction of maximum 5.75% sales charge. All results are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Other share classes are available for which performance and expenses will differ.

4 NAV results represent the percent change in net asset value per share. Returns would have been lower had sales charges been reflected. The Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Average represents the average annual returns for all Small-Cap Growth Funds for the respective time periods. The Russell 2000® Growth Index measures U.S. small-cap stocks. Indices are unmanaged and their returns assume reinvestment of dividends, and unlike Fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. You cannot invest directly in an index. Periods less than one year are actual, not annualized.

5 Beta is a measure of the volatility of a fund relative to the overall market. A beta less than one indicates lower risk than the market; a beta greater than one indicates higher risk than the market.

6 R-squared represents the percentage of the portfolio's movements that can be explained by the general movements of the market. Index portfolios will tend to have R-squared values very close to 100.

7 Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the historic volatility of a portfolio.
