Investment Goal

Aristotle Core Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return, consisting of current income and capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The tables that follow describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below. If these fees were included, the fees and expenses shown would be higher.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)



		Share Class
		H	I	I-2
Management Fee1		0.48%	0.44%	0.48%

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		0.48%	0.44%	0.48%



1	The Management Fee consists of an Advisory Fee and a Supervision and Administration Fee paid to Aristotle Investment Services, LLC. The Advisory Fee is borne by the Fund at the same annual rate for all share classes of 0.35% of the average net assets. The Supervision and Administration Fee is borne separately by each class at an annual rate of 0.09% for Class I and 0.13% for Class H and Class I-2 of the average net assets of the class.

Examples

The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds of the Trust or other mutual funds. Each Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted share class of the Fund for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s annual operating expenses remain as stated in the previous table for the time periods shown. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.



Your expenses (in dollars) if you SELL or DON’T SELL your shares at the end of each period.
	Share Class
	H	I	I-2
1 year	$49	$45	$49
3 years	$154	$141	$154
5 years	$269	$246	$269
10 years	$604	$555	$604

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its holdings). For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the portfolio turnover rate of the Fund was 142% of the average value of the Fund. A higher portfolio turnover rate reflects a greater number of securities being bought or sold, which may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples , affect the Fund’s performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in debt instruments. For purposes of this 80% policy, debt instruments include, without limitation, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities, asset-backed securities, debt instruments issued by the U.S. government or its related agencies, U.S. dollar-denominated debt instruments issued by developed foreign governments and corporations and other fixed income and income-producing debt instruments. Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that have adopted a policy of investing at least 80% of their net assets in such investments are treated as such investments for purposes of this 80% policy. The Fund primarily invests in a broad range of investment grade debt instruments and may invest up to 65% of its assets in corporate bonds. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in U.S. dollar-denominated debt instruments of developed foreign governments and corporations. For these purposes, the Fund defines investment grade debt instruments as: (i) securities rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”), (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the sub-adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. The Fund considers “split-rated” securities, i.e., when two or more NRSROs assign different ratings for the same security, to be of investment grade if at least one of the ratings of the security is comparable to or higher than the ratings disclosed above. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income.

The Fund expects to maintain a weighted average duration within two years (plus or minus) of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index. Duration is often used to measure a bond’s sensitivity to interest rates. The longer a fund’s duration, the more sensitive it is to Interest Rate Risk . The shorter a fund’s duration, the less sensitive it is to Interest Rate Risk . The duration of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index was 5.88 years as of June 30, 2026.

The sub-adviser’s investment process for the Fund is based on the sub-adviser’s fundamental research process, which considerations are described below.

Individual investments may be purchased or sold in the event the sub-adviser decides to adjust debt asset class weightings within the portfolio. An investment is generally sold when the sub-adviser believes that the issue has realized its price appreciation target, the issue no longer offers relative value, or an adverse change in corporate or sector fundamentals has occurred.

The sub-adviser normally invests the Fund’s assets across different groups of industries/sectors but may invest a significant percentage of the Fund’s assets in issuers in a single sector. The components of the Fund are likely to change over time.

Fundamental Research Process. The sub-adviser’s fundamental research process combines a bottom-up issuer analysis and top-down market assessment. A bottom-up issuer analysis relies upon the sub-adviser’s fundamental research analysis of individual issuers. A top-down market assessment provides a framework for portfolio risk positioning and sector allocations. Once this is determined, the sub-adviser looks for companies that it believes have sustainable competitive positions, strong management teams and the ability to repay or refinance its debt obligations. The sub-adviser performs a credit analysis on each potential issuer and a relative value analysis for each potential investment. When selecting investments, the sub-adviser may invest in instruments that it believes have the potential for capital appreciation.

Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Italicized terms refer to separate Principal Risks that are each defined in the Principal Risks section below.

While the Fund may be subject to various risk exposures at any given time depending on market conditions and other factors impacting holdings and investment strategies, the Fund under normal circumstances is subject to the following principal risks:

•Debt Instruments Risk: Debt securities and other debt instruments are subject to many risks, including interest rate risk and credit risk, which may affect their value. The market value of a fixed-income security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Federal Reserve policy in response to market conditions may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of debt securities.

•Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). The risk of a default is higher for debt instruments that are non-investment grade and lower for debt instruments that are of higher quality. Defaults may potentially reduce the Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due and

may reduce the value of the debt instrument, sometimes dramatically.

•Interest Rate Risk: The value of debt instruments may fall when interest rates rise. Debt instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt instruments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the Fund’s yield (and total return) also may be low, and the Fund may experience low or negative returns. During periods when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, the Fund may be subject to heightened levels of interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income investments will generally decrease.

•Sector Focus Risk: The Fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in one or more sectors than many other mutual funds, and thus will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those sectors.

•Financial Sector Risk: The operations and businesses of financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation, the availability and cost of capital funds, and interest rate changes. General market downturns may affect financial services companies adversely.

• Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk : The risks of investing in CLO securities include both the credit risk associated with the underlying loans combined with the risks associated with the CLO structure governing the priority of payments (and any legal and counterparty risk associated with carrying out the priority of payments). CLOs are subject to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks, which are each discussed in greater detail below. CLO Equity may be unrated or non-investment grade. As a holder of CLO Equity, the Fund will have limited remedies available upon the default of the CLO. CLOs often invest in concentrated portfolios of assets. The concentration of an underlying portfolio in any one obligor would subject the related CLOs to a greater degree of risk with respect to defaults by such obligor and the concentration of a portfolio in any one industry would subject the related CLOs to a greater degree of risk with respect to economic downturns relating to such industry.

The value of CLOs generally fluctuates with, among other things, the financial condition of the obligors or issuers of the underlying portfolio of assets of the related CLO (“CLO Collateral”), general economic conditions, the condition of certain financial markets, political events, developments or trends in any particular industry and changes in prevailing interest rates. Consequently, holders of CLOs must rely solely on distributions on the CLO Collateral or proceeds thereof for payment in respect thereof. If distributions on the CLO Collateral are insufficient to make payments on the CLOs, no other assets will be available for payment of the deficiency and following realization of the CLOs, the obligations of such issuer to pay such deficiency generally will be extinguished. CLO Collateral may consist of high-yield debt securities, loans, asset-backed securities and other securities, which often are rated below investment grade (or of equivalent credit quality). High-yield debt securities generally are unsecured (and loans may be unsecured) and may be subordinated to certain other obligations of the issuer thereof. The lower ratings of high-

yield securities and below investment grade loans reflect a greater possibility that adverse changes in the financial condition of an issuer or in general economic conditions or both may impair the ability of the related issuer or obligor to make payments of principal or interest. Such investments may be speculative.

• ETF Risk: Shares of ETFs typically trade on securities exchanges and may at times trade at a premium or discount to their net asset values. If the Fund has to sell shares of an ETF when the shares are trading at a discount, the Fund will receive a price that is less than the ETF’s net asset value per share. In addition, an ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the benchmark index it seeks to track. An investment in an ETF is an investment in another investment company and therefore, the Fund’s shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of any fees and expenses of the ETFs in which the Fund invests. The Fund will pay brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase and sale of shares of ETFs.

•Active Management Risk: A portfolio manager’s judgments about the potential value or price appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance.

• Foreign Investment Risk: Exposure to a foreign market through investments in foreign issuers (companies or other entities) can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions of that market. These factors can make investments in foreign issuers more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. Trade disputes and the threat of, or actual imposition of, tariffs may adversely impact the price of foreign securities. Less stringent regulatory, accounting, and disclosure requirements and general supervision for issuers and markets are more common in certain foreign countries. Enforcing legal rights can be difficult, costly, and slow in certain foreign countries, and can be particularly difficult against foreign governments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in, or foreign exchange rates with, another market, country, or region. Certain countries or regions may have economies that are heavily dependent upon trading with key partners; this reliance on trading partners may have an adverse impact on investments if there is a reduction in such trading. Foreign securities may include ADRs, EDRs and GDRs. Unsponsored ADRs, EDRs and GDRs are organized independently and without the cooperation of the foreign issuer of the underlying securities. In addition, the issuing bank may deduct shareholder distribution, custody, foreign currency exchange, and other fees from the payment of dividends.

•Liquidity Risk: Certain holdings may be difficult to purchase, sell and value, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions

on resale. The Fund may invest in liquid investments that become illiquid due to financial distress, or geopolitical events such as sanctions, trading halts or wars. The Fund may not be able to sell a holding quickly at the price it has valued the holding, may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities or may be forced to sell other more desirable, more liquid securities or sell less liquid or illiquid securities at a loss if needed to raise cash to conduct operations, including to meet redemption requests. This risk may be particularly pronounced with respect to small-capitalization companies.

•Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including collateralized loan obligation transactions (“CLOs”), are subject to certain risks affecting the housing market, the market for the assets underlying such securities or the issuers of such securities. These securities may also be subject to extension risk (the risk that rising interest rates extend the duration of fixed mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates), interest rate risk (the risk that rising interest rates will cause a decline in the value of a fixed income security), subprime risk or credit risk (the risk that mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities have exposure to borrowers with lower credit ratings/scores, increasing potential default), prepayment risk (when interest rates decline, borrowers may pay off their mortgages or debt obligations sooner than expected which can reduce the Fund’s returns because the Fund may have to reinvest its assets at lower interest rates), call risk (similar to prepayment risk, an issuer may pay its obligations under a security sooner than expected), U.S. government securities risk (securities backed by different U.S. government agencies, if applicable, are subject to varying levels of credit rating risk) and issuer risk (the risk that a private issuer cannot meet its obligations).

•U.S. Government Securities Risk: Not all U.S. government securities are backed or guaranteed by the U.S. government and different U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk. There is a risk that the U.S. government will not make timely payments on its debt or provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities, or sponsored enterprises if those entities are not able to meet their financial obligations.

•Underlying Fund Risk: Because the Fund is available for investment by one or more “fund of funds” of the Trust and thus may have a significant percentage of its outstanding shares held by such fund of funds, a change in asset allocation by the fund of funds could result in large redemptions out of the Fund, causing the sale of securities in a short timeframe and potential increases in expenses to the Fund and its remaining shareholders, both of which could negatively impact performance.

•Securities Lending Risk: To the extent the Fund lends its securities, it may be subject to the following risks: (1) the securities in which the collateral is invested may not perform sufficiently to cover the applicable rebate rates paid to borrowers and related administrative costs; (2) delays may occur in the recovery of securities from borrowers, which could interfere with the Fund’s ability to vote proxies or to settle transactions; and (3)

although borrowers of the Fund’s securities typically provide collateral in the form of cash that is reinvested in securities, there is the risk of possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially.

Performance

The bar chart and Average Annual Total Returns table below provide some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year and showing how the Fund’s returns compare to a broad-based market index. The Fund changed its investment strategies on February 17, 2025. Accordingly, any performance information for periods prior to February 17, 2025 is attributable to the Fund’s previous investment strategies. The Fund performance shown below for periods prior to April 17, 2023 is the performance of Pacific Funds ESG Core Bond (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of Pacific Funds Series Trust, as a result of a reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Fund on April 17, 2023 (the “Reorganization”). The Predecessor Fund was managed using investment policies, objectives, guidelines, and restrictions that were substantially similar to those of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Class I shares from inception through April 16, 2023 and the performance of the Fund’s Class I shares from April 17, 2023 through December 31, 2025.

Performance reflects fee waivers or expense limitations, if any, that were in effect during the periods presented. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The after-tax returns (a) are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes; (b) are shown for the Predecessor Fund’s Class I shares only and will vary for classes of the Fund; and (c) are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-advantaged arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In some instances, the return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be greater than the return before taxes because the investor is assumed to be able to use the capital loss of the sale of Fund shares to offset other taxable capital gains.

Class I and Class I-2 shares commenced operations on December 14, 2020, respectively. Class H shares commenced operations on December 5, 2025. Performance for Class H shares prior to its inception date reflects the performance of Class I shares adjusted for Class H shares expenses.

Investors should contact their HSA administrator for additional information about the availability and eligibility requirements for Class H shares. Class I shares are only available to eligible investors. Class R6 shares generally have no minimum for initial or subsequent investments, except for certain institutional investors who purchase Class R6 shares directly with the Trust’s transfer agent for which the minimum initial investment is $1,000,000 with no minimum for subsequent investments. Class R6 shares are only available to eligible investors. No dealer compensation, marketing support payments, or sub-transfer agency fees are paid on Class I or Class R6 shares. There is no minimum initial or subsequent investment for Class I-2 shares, because they are generally only available to investors in fee-based advisory programs. Not all classes are available for direct investment for all Funds. The Trust reserves the right to waive or change minimum investment amounts at its discretion. The Trust and Foreside Financial Services, LLC, the distributor and principal underwriter for the Trust (the “Distributor”), reserve the right to reject any request to buy shares.

Purchase and sale orders for accounts held directly with the Trust are executed at the next-calculated net asset value (“NAV”), plus or minus any applicable sales charges, determined after the transfer agent of the Trust receives an order in proper form at its processing location in Milwaukee, WI. Purchase and sale orders for accounts held with a financial intermediary (including an HSA administrator) are executed at the next NAV, plus or minus any applicable sales charges, determined after the order is received by the financial intermediary or HSA administrator in proper form.

Tax Information

Each Fund’s distributions are taxable and will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, distributions from which may be taxable upon withdrawal.

For Class H shares, distributions by the Fund to tax-advantaged accounts are not taxable currently (but you may be taxed later, upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of a Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as through a “fund supermarket” or HSA administrator where a variety of mutual funds from different fund families are offered through your broker-dealer or other financial intermediary), the Trust and its related companies may pay the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial professional or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
