Redemptions By Mail
The Fund will redeem all or any part of shares owned upon written request. The written request for redemptions must include:
- Your name and account number
- Specify the number of shares or dollar amount to be redeemed, if less than all shares are to be redeemed
- Be signed by all owners exactly as their names appear on the account
- Include a signature guarantee from any “eligible guarantor institution” (as defined in the Prospectus-PDF) if (i) you want to change ownership of the account, (ii) you want the redemption proceeds sent to a different address from that registered on the account, (iii) the proceeds are to be made payable to someone other than the account owner(s), (iv) the redemption request is made within 15 days after you request a change to the account owner or address, or (v) the redemption request is for $25,000 or more. Eligible guarantor institutions include banks, broker/dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations clearing agencies, and savings associations. A notary public is not an eligible guarantor.
In the case of shares registered in the name of a corporation or other legal entity, the redemption request should be signed in the name of the corporation or entity by an officer whose title is stated, and a certified bylaw provision or resolution of the board of directors authorizing the officer to so act must be furnished.

Redemptions By Telephone – 1.888.UTOPIA3 (1.888.886.7423)
You may redeem shares by telephone by calling Utopia Funds at 1.888.UTOPIA3 (1. 888.886.7423). In order to use the telephone redemption procedure, a shareholder must have elected this procedure in writing, and the redemption proceeds must be mailed directly to the investor or transmitted to the investor’s predesignated account at a domestic bank. To change the designated account or address, a written request with signature(s) guaranteed must be sent to the Transfer Agent at least 15 days before the telephone redemption request. Telephone redemptions are subject to a $5,000 minimum.
By electing the telephone redemption option, you may be giving up a measure of security that you might have if you were to redeem your shares in writing. For reasons involving the security of your account, you will be required to provide certain account information before your instructions will be carried out, and the telephone transaction may be tape recorded. The Transfer Agent has adopted these procedures to reasonably verify that telephone instructions are genuine. If it follows those procedures, neither the Funds nor the Transfer Agent will be responsible for the authenticity of telephone instructions and will not be responsible for any loss, damage, cost or expense arising out of any telephone instructions received for an account. Furthermore, you agree to hold harmless and indemnify the Funds, the Transfer Agent, and any affiliated officers, employees, directors, and agents from any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) that may be incurred in connection with telephone redemption procedures.

Redemptions By Wire
When an investor requests a redemption via wire payment, the Transfer Agent will normally wire the redemption proceeds the next business day by federal funds only to the bank and account designated on the Application to Buy Shares, or in written instructions subsequently received by the Transfer Agent, and only if the bank is a commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System, may purchase shares by wire by instructing your financial institution to wire funds to the Funds’ custodian bank. For additional detail, please see the Prospectus-PDF or call our Investor Service Representatives at: 1.888.UTOPIA3 or 1.888.886.7423.
