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. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, please call us at 800-528-3780. The Aegis High Yield Fund imposes as 2% redemption fee on shares held for less than 180 days. Performance data does not reflect the redemption fee, which would have reduced the total return.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investments in smaller companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) involve additional risks such as declines in the value of real estate and increased susceptibility to adverse economic or regulatory developments. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower-rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.
Investment performance reflects fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced.
