Lipper Names the Leaders!

At Westcore, we understand the importance of a diversified portfolio. That's why we're pleased to offer these highly rated funds, which span a variety of asset classes and investment styles. From value to growth to fixed income, these Westcore leaders may be just what you need.

See our Stars Are Out! page for our top Morningstar rated funds.

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 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.

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.

Westcore Flexible Income and Plus Bond Funds are subject to additional risk in that they may invest in high-yield/high-risk bonds and are subject to greater levels of liquidity risk. In addition, these Funds' exposure to foreign markets can regularly affect the net asset value (NAV) and total return of these Funds due to foreign risk.

Investing in bond funds entails interest rate risk and credit risk which are described in more detail in the prospectus. The return of principal is not guaranteed.
