Risk Disclosures
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and an investors shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
POP Total returns reflect the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.5% for the equity/stock funds and Balanced Fund. For more information on sales charges please refer to the MTB Funds prospectus.
For more complete information, please download the funds' prospectuses available on www.mtbfunds.com or call 1-800-836-2211 for copies. You should consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before you invest. Information about these and other important subjects is in the fund's prospectus, which you should read carefully before investing.

Small Cap investing involves special risks. Small Cap funds are designed for investors who can accept short-term fluctuations in principal and earnings and can assume more risk typically associated with an aggressive growth fund. Small Cap stocks are more volatile and tend to drop more in down markets than large cap stocks.
Growth stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and can be more volatile then other types of stocks.
The Gross Expense Ratio is the Fund's total operating expenses taken from the most recent prospectus. This ratio excludes waivers and/or expense reimbursements the fund manager might apply. The Net Expense Ratio, also taken from the most recent prospectus, represents the expenses paid with inclusion of waivers an/or expense reimbursements. When waivers and/or expense reimbursements are included, the Fund's expenses will be lower and performance will be higher for the disclosed expense waiver period. Waiver and/or expense reimbursements can be voluntary or mandated by contract and can expire either at a specific date, at will, or indefinitely. Funds closed to new investors are not requires to file a prospectus, thus the prospectus gross and net expense ratios may not be available.
Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect risk-adjusted performance through most recent month-end. The ratings are subject to change every month. For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category, the next 22.5%, 35%, 22.5% and the bottom 10% receive 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 star, respectively. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of 1 fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
