Eventide Gilead Fund

The S&P 500 is an index created by Standard & Poor’s of American stocks with the largest market capitalization. It is not an investment product available for purchase. The Russell Midcap Growth Index measures the performance of the U.S. equity mid-cap growth segment. It includes mid-cap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and forecasted growth. The volatility of the indices may be materially different than that of the fund, and investors should not expect the fund to achieve the same results as the indices listed. There is no guarantee that the Adviser's approach will produce the desired results. All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of principal.

We believe the best way to measure the intrinsic value of a company is with Discounted Cash Flow valuation analysis.

This takes into account the magnitude, timing, and risk of future free cash flows, discounted to today based on the company’s cost of capital. It also takes into account the sustainability of its competitive advantages (reflected in the fade rate).

Valuation Analysis

• Measure intrinsic value through Discounted Cash Flow analysis.

• Build DCF model using forecast assumptions and then probability-adjust the calculated net present value based on our qualitative assessment of the company.

• Compare our estimates with market consensus to assess opportunity.

• Identify companies with the most attractive upside potential and highest long-term probability of gain vs. loss.

Composition

2. Market cap definitions are now based on those used by Morningstar, where Giant Cap are those companies that account for the top 40% of capitalization, Large Cap is the next 30%, Mid Cap is the next 20%, Small Cap is the next 7%, and Micro Cap is the last 3%. Fact sheets dated before June 30, 2018 defined $10 billion or greater as Large Cap; greater than $1 billion was Mid Cap; and less than $1 billion was Small Cap. The definition was updated to account for industry changes, and should not imply a strategic change in the management of the fund's portfolio. 3. Portfolio turnover is the percentage of the portfolio that was bought or sold (lesser) during a fiscal year ending on June 30th. A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs for the fund, and may result in higher taxes for investors. The range shows the highest and lowest turnover ratio reported in the prospectuses during the last three years. 4. The fund may not invest 25% or more of its total assets in a particular industry or group of industries. A sector is normally composed of many industry groups. Sector Allocation is subject to change at any time and should not be considered investment advice.

Beta is a measure of the volatility of a fund relative to the Index. A beta greater than 1 is more volatile than the Index. R-Squared measures how a fund’s performance correlates with the Index’s performance and it can help assess how likely it is that beta is statistically significant. Standard Deviation of return measures the amount of variation in historical performance from period to period. 6.

Morningstar percentile ranking is an investment’s total return percentile rank against others in its Morningstar Category, ranging from 1 (best) to 100 (worst). The ranking does not account for sales loads, where applicable. The Morningstar RatingTM for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Rated four stars against 480 US Mid-Cap Growth Funds for the 5yr period, as of 06/30/2018, and two stars against 541 Funds for the 3yr period, based on risk-adjusted total return. Ratings are determined monthly and subject to change. The Overall Morningstar Rankings pertain to Eventide Gilead Fund Class N Shares.

Important InformationMutual Funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Funds’ ethical values screening criteria could cause it to under-perform similar funds that do not have such screening criteria. The Funds can have risk related to option investing. There are special risks associated with investments in foreign companies including exposure to currency fluctuations, less efficient trading markets, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards.

The Eventide Gilead Fund & Eventide Healthcare & Life Sciences Fund can invest in smaller-sized companies which may experience higher failure rates than larger companies and they normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies. The Funds can also have risk associated with the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry in which these companies may be heavily dependent on clinical trials with uncertain outcomes and decisions made by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Funds can invest in private companies. Private investments include various risks including but not limited to lack of liquidity, capital commitment risk, and valuation risk.

Important InformationInvestors in the Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund should be aware that interest rates are at historic lows and may change at any time based on government policy. In general, the price of a fixed income security falls when interest rates rise. A rise in interest rates may result in volatility and increased redemptions, which in turn could result in the fund being forced to liquidate portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices. Longer-term securities may be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The intermediate-term bond portion of the Multi-Asset Income Fund’s portfolio may represent 0% to 100% of the Fund’s portfolio with an average duration of between two and eight years. The Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund may invest in other funds. If other funds are utilized, such underlying funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in underlying funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that do not invest in underlying funds. The Fund may invest, directly or indirectly, in “junk bonds.” Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks than higher quality debt securities. There are unique risks associated with REITs, preferred stocks, convertible bonds, and BDCs that are covered in the Fund's prospectus and SAI.

The Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund and Eventide Global Dividend Opportunities Fund can invest in MLPs and Yieldcos. MLPs carry unique risks including risks surrounding its tax status and risk pertaining to rising interest rates, both of which can negatively impact share price. Yieldcos carry different risks including Yieldco Sponsor Risk and cash flow risk. The Eventide Global Dividend Opportunities Fund can invest in Industrials and Utilities. Companies in the Industrial Sector carry various risks including, but not limited to, risk related to debt loads, intense competition, and sensitivity to economic cycles. Companies in the Utilities sector are subject to interest rate risk and cash flow risk. The Eventide Global Dividend Opportunities Fund is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate.

Our Investment Philosophy

The Adviser's analysis may prove to be incorrect. There is no guarantee that any investment will achieve its objectives, generate positive returns, or avoid losses.

We believe the best way to measure the intrinsic value of a company is with Discounted Cash Flow valuation analysis. This takes into account the magnitude, timing, and risk of future free cash flows, discounted to today based on the company’s cost of capital. It also takes into account the sustainability of its competitive advantages (reflected in the fade rate) and our differentiated view from the market:

We believe high-quality companies that excel at creating value for others and trade at a discount to intrinsic value, offer superior long-term risk-adjusted returns.

A “great” company that we think will sustain superior returns for longer than the market anticipates.

A company that we think can improve its returns morethan the market expects.

Market overreaction to a temporary negative.

Market underreaction to a positive change.

Underfollowed stocks.
