    ** Annualized. A redemption fee of 2.00% will be imposed on redemptions of shares within 90 days. Expense ratio as of most recent prospectus is 1.23%.

    Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the

    performance shown. 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. Current month-end performance data may be obtained by calling toll-free,

    1-800-982-4372.

    The Fund commenced investment operations on June 2, 1993. The performance shown for periods prior to March 1,

    1996 reflects the historical performance of a predecessor fund. FPA assumed control of the predecessor fund on

    March 1, 1996. The FPA Crescent Fund's objectives, policies, guidelines and restrictions are, in all material respects,

    equivalent to those of the predecessor fund.

    S&P 500 Index includes a representative sample of 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy.

    The index focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, with over 80% coverage of U.S. equities, but is also

    considered a proxy for the total market. Barclays Aggregate Index provides a measure of the performance of the U.S.

    investment grade bonds market, which includes investment grade U.S. Government bonds, investment grade

    corporate bonds, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities that are publicly offered for sale in

    the United States. The securities in the Index must have at least 1 year remaining in maturity. In addition, the

    securities must be denominated in U.S. dollars and must be fixed rate, nonconvertible, and taxable. The Consumer

    Price Index is an unmanaged index representing the rate of the inflation of the U.S. consumer prices as determined

    by the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics. There can be no guarantee that the CPI of other indexes will reflect the

    exact level of inflation at any given time. The CPI shown here is used to illustrate the Funds purchasing power

    against changes in the prices of goods as opposed to a benchmark which is used to compare Funds performance.

    60% S&P500/ 40% Barclays Aggregate Index is a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices comprised of 60%

    S&P 500 Index and 40% Barclays Aggregate Index, the Fund's neutral mix of 60% stocks and 40% bonds. These

    indices do not reflect any commissions or fees which would be incurred by an investor purchasing the stocks they

    represent. The performance of the Fund and of the Indices is computed on a total return basis which includes

    reinvestment of all distributions. It is not possible to invest in an index.

    FPA Crescent Fund First Quarter 2015 Commentary

  • Dear Shareholders:

    The FPA Crescent Fund increased a flattish 0.15% in the first quarter while the S&P 500 returned 0.95%.

    Our top five winners in the quarter added 1.10% while our top five losers cost us 1.44%. Nothing newsworthy happened to any of these companies so the limited share price movement was just a result of the typical prattle that occurs every day the market is open.

    Globally, low interest rates continue to be the principal driver behind investment decisions for individuals, corporations, foundations, endowments and other capital allocators. Bloomberg lists nineteen countries 10-year bonds on their World Bond Markets home page with an average yield of just 2.2%.1 If you consider Greece an outlier, then the yield on the remaining eighteen sovereigns drops to 1.6%. Investors continue to opt for a riskier path since they want or need a return thats anything better than that.

    The definition of what makes an attractive investment these days is now broader than it has perhaps ever been thanks to a 1.6% hurdle rate2. Long-term decisions are being made based on what we at FPA believe are impermanent conditions. Of course, everything in an altered state looks better. Well spare you the inevitable comparison to the bad choices people make when they are a bit sloshed but, suffice to say, many wake up later with regrets and well, well pass.

    We have talked about the impact of this low-yielding environment on the stock market ad nauseam but the repercussions can be felt and seen in all risk assets around the world. For the first time in history, a country was even able to sell 10-year government bonds with a negative yield.3 Switzerland issued a 10-year note at -0.055%. Mexico, meanwhile, was able to issue a 4.2%, 100-year bond denominated in Euros. There has never been 10-year sovereign debt that a buyer had to pay for the privilege of owning and the Euro has never been validated with a 100-year bond. Put another way, investors are paying a fee for the security of the Swiss Franc

    2 Hurdle rate is the minimum rate of return on a project or investment required by a manager or investor.

    3 We are referring to nominal bonds, not TIPS. Nominal bond is a bond which makes payments of a fixed amount, rather than a fixed

    real (inflation-adjusted) value. TIPS stand for Treasury Inflation-Protected Security. It is a security which is identical to a treasury bond except that principal and coupon payments are adjusted to eliminate the effects of inflation.

  • or making a century-long bet on the Euro, a currency thats only existed for 13% of the bonds duration (and we havent even mentioned the additional credit and interest rate risk that comes along with it).4,5 We havent spoken to anyone who has admitted to buying either but we never met anyone who fessed up to buying Michael Jacksons Thriller album and it sold more than 50 million copies.

    We understand lenders are taking advantage of an unprecedented sellers market. Who can blame them? Its the buyers who stymie us. Call us old-fashioned but we continue to want to receive more in return than what we offer. Thats something were finding rather challenging in the market today with P/Es marking time in the 95th percentile.

    P/E 10 Ratios by Percentile6

    So the stock market continues to make monkeys out of us as we await the next occasion to commit more of our collective capital. This hasnt been the first time nor will it be the last, but we do wish for a shorter duration between opportunities. This is already the longest bull market of the last 70 years.

    4 In addition, theres the risk that Mexico is assuming in that its income is not Euro-centric. If the Peso weakens vs the Euro,

    their costs increase. 5 Euros were introduced into circulation on January 1, 2002. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro

  • Conclusion

    We appreciate that ours is not an annuity business. We must therefore continually earn our stakeholders trust investors, partners and employees but for us, that takes time as it always has.

    Our longer market commentary will be written per usual at the end of the first half.

    Respectfully submitted,

    The FPA Funds are distributed by UMB Distribution Services, LLC, 235 W. Galena Street, Milwaukee, WI, 53212.

    Except for certain publicly available information incorporated herein, the information contained in these materials is our confidential and proprietary information and is being submitted to you for your

    confidential use with the express understanding that, without our prior written permission, you will not release these materials or discuss the information contained herein or make reproductions of or use

    these materials for any purpose other than evaluating a potential advisory relationship with First Pacific Advisors.

    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, sales charges, 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 [email protected], toll-free by calling 1-800-982-4372 or by contacting the Fund in writing.

    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. Certain funds 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.

    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 securities and asset backed securities are subject to prepayment risk and the risk of default on the underlying mortgages or other assets; derivatives may increase volatility.

    Portfolio composition will change due to ongoing management of the fund. References to individual securities are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as recommendations by the

    Funds, Advisor or Distributor.

    Short-selling involves increased risks and transaction costs. You risk paying more for a security than you received from its sale.
