Fees
Investors from all walks of life can afford Utopia Funds and benefit from our professionally managed portfolios without costly initial investment requirements, loads, or commission charges.
The following tables describe the shareholder fees and annual fund operating expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Funds. The Funds are no-load (no 12b-1 fee) investments. As a result, you do not pay shareholder fees to buy or sell shares, or to exchange into another Fund.

Annual Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are the normal costs of operating any mutual fund. These expenses are not charged directly to investors. They are paid from a Fund’s assets and are expressed as an expense ratio, which is a percentage of average daily net assets.
The Adviser does not participate in commission recapture programs by directing certain portfolio trades to brokers who rebate to the Funds a portion of the commissions generated.
