Prior to September 30, 2021, the Fund was known as the Emerald Banking & Finance Fund.

The performance quoted represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and current performance may be lower or higher than the data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained at www.emeraldmutualfunds.com.

Maximum Offering Price (MOP) for Class A shares includes the Fund's maximum sales charge of 4.75%. Performance shown at NAV does not include these sales charges and would have been lower had it been taken into account.

A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) of 1.00% may apply to Class C shares redeemed within the first 12 months after a purchase.

The performance shown for periods prior to March 16, 2012, reflects the performance of the Forward Banking and Finance Fund, a series of Forward Funds (as a result of a prior reorganization of the Forward Banking and Finance Fund into the Emerald Banking and Finance Fund).
