Performance
Net results as of December 31, 2024
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost, and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. Performance verified by US Bank Global Fund Services. Performance data source: Bloomberg. 3 Yr, 5 Yr, and Since Inception performance is annualized. Inception date: October 1, 2015.
On December 29, 2017, Spyglass Partners Fund LP, a limited partnership managed by the Advisor (the “Predecessor Partnership”), converted into the Institutional Shares class of the Fund by contributing all of its assets to the Fund in exchange for Institutional Shares of the Fund. The Predecessor Partnership was formed on October 1, 2015 to serve as a pooled investment vehicle for accredited investors, and since inception the Predecessor Partnership maintained investment policies, objectives, guidelines, and restrictions that were, in all material respects, equivalent to those of the Fund. From the date of inception through the time of the conversion, the Predecessor Partnership was managed by the Advisor and the same portfolio manager as the Fund. The conversion date was December 29, 2017 (inception) and the Fund commenced operations on January 2, 2018. The Fund’s performance prior to 2018 is that of the Predecessor Partnership and the returns reflect the deduction of the 1% management fee and expenses, paid by the Predecessor Partnership, without provision for state or local taxes. The performance includes gains or losses plus income and the reinvestment of all dividends and interest. Other than the Predecessor Partnership, the Advisor did not manage any accounts materially equivalent to the Fund during the period of the Predecessor Partnership’s performance shown above. The Predecessor Partnership was not registered under the 1940 Act, and was not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which, if applicable, may have adversely affected its performance. For periods beginning January 1, 2018, the Fund’s net performance is calculated on a daily basis and also includes a deduction of 1% management fee and is subject to a 1% expense cap, which differs in certain respects from the methods used to compute total returns for the Predecessor Partnership. The Spyglass Growth Fund is distributed by ALPS Distributor, Inc.
