The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. To obtain current performance as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-800-392-CORE (2673) or visit us online at www.westcore.com. Average annual total returns and yield figures reflect the reinvestment of dividends, capital gains distributions, all fee waivers and expense reimbursements. Without the fee waivers and expense reimbursements, total return and yield figures would have been lower. The performance data quoted does not reflect the deduction of the 2% redemption fee imposed if shares are redeemed or exchanged within three months of purchase. If imposed, the fee would reduce the performance quoted. Total return and yield figures represent past performance. Investment return and principal value will vary, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Westcore fund shares are not insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other agency and are subject to investment risk.

An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund(s) carefully before investing. Click here for a prospectus, which contains this and other important information. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing in small-cap funds and/or concentrated funds can be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater than investing in large-cap or more diversified funds.

Investing in micro-cap companies will be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater than investing in larger, more established companies.

Investing in foreign securities entails special risks, such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainties, which are described in more detail in the prospectus.

Westcore Flexible Income and Plus Bond Funds are subject to additional risk in that each may invest in high-yield/high-risk bonds and are subject to greater levels of liquidity risk. Investing in bond funds entails interest rate risk and credit risk which are described in more detail in the prospectus.

1Westcore Select Fund may participate in the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) market, and a significant portion of the Fund’s Since Inception return is attributable to its investment in IPOs, which in turn had a magnified impact due to the Fund’s relatively small asset base. As the Fund’s assets continue to grow, it will be increasingly less likely to experience substantially similar performance by investing in IPOs.

2Without fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, yield would have been 7.67%, 4.71%, and 3.72% respectively.

3The Flexible Income Custom Index is comprised of the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Government/Corporate Bond Index for the time period 6/1/88 - 9/30/00 and the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Ba Index for the time period 10/1/00 - current to reflect the change in the Fund's investment strategy on 10/1/00. The Adviser believes that the Custom Index is the best comparison for historical performance over three years. Investors cannot invest directly in this index.

4The Funds' Adviser and Administrators have contractually agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory and/or administration fees and/or to reimburse other expenses from April 29, 2008 until at least April 29, 2009, so that Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses will be no more than quoted for the current fiscal year. You will be notified if these waivers and/or reimbursements are discontinued after that date resulting in a material change in expense ratio. The waivers are described in more detail in the prospectus.
