Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. This data represents past performance and investors should understand that investment
returns and principal values fluctuate, so that when you redeem your investment it may be worth more or less than its original cost. Performance
has been calculated on a total return basis, which combines principal and dividend income changes for the periods shown. Principal changes are
based on the difference between the beginning and closing net asset values for the period and assume reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions paid. All applicable expenses such as advisory fees have been included in calculating performance. It should not be assumed that
recommendations made in the future will be profitable or will equal the performance of the security examples discussed. Current month-end
performance data may be obtained by calling toll-free, 1-800-982-4372.
You should consider the Funds investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before you invest. The Prospectus details the
Fund's objective and policies and other matters of interest to the prospective investor. Please read this Prospectus carefully before investing. The
Prospectus may be obtained by visiting the website at www.fpafunds.com, by email at crm@fpafunds.com, toll-free by calling 1-800-982-4372 or by

Statistics have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness cannot be guaranteed. The Standard & Poor's 500
Stock Index (S&P 500) is a capitalization-weighted index which covers industrial, utility, transportation and financial service companies, and represents
approximately 75% of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) capitalization and 30% of NYSE issues. This index is considered a measure of large
capitalization stock performance. The index does not reflect any commissions or fees which would be incurred by an investor purchasing the stocks it
represents.

Investments in mutual funds carry risks and investors may lose principal value. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse
issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. The Fund may purchase foreign securities, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs)
and other depository receipts, which are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic and political risks; this may be enhanced when investing in
emerging markets. Small and mid cap stocks involve greater risks and they can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks. Short-selling involves
increased risks and transaction costs. You risk paying more for a security than you received from its sale.
The return of principal in a bond investment is not guaranteed. Bonds have issuer, interest rate, inflation and credit risks. Lower rated bonds, callable bonds
and other types of debt obligations involve greater risks. Mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk and the risk
of default on the underlying mortgages or other assets.
