Our lean and reflexive cost structure has been challenged since September 2011, when gold peaked at $1,900 with negative real interest rates and expansive global money supply. In addition, regulations and taxes on a global scale have rapidly increased, impacting trade, money supply and global growth. To weather this persistent storm, we are transforming our operations and product line to be more resilient, competitive and successful,&#8221; says Frank Holmes, CEO of U.S. Global Investors, Inc.</font></div>

The Global PMI for January turned positive, crossing above the three-month moving average. When such a cross occurs, it has historically signaled a possible uptrend in crude oil, copper and other commodities. The Chinese PMI on the other hand, remains in contraction territory. The Asian giant is responsible for consuming massive amounts of raw materials, so we will be watching closely for an eventual upturn in Chinese manufacturing,&#8221; says Holmes.&#160;&#160;&#8220;While gold and other commodities have been hit hard by the strong dollar, we are seeing gold perform well in many non-dollar economies, such as Canada, Russia and Brazil,&#8221; Holmes continues. &#8220;Also, we are encouraged by the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Once in effect, the 12-nation trade pact is expected to eliminate 18,000 global tariffs and deliver unprecedented free and fair global trade among the participating nations.&#8221;</font></div>

The company will continue to receive administrative services fees at a reduced level. The elimination of 12b-1 fee and shareholder servicing fee revenue will be offset by a reduction in certain platform and other distribution related expenses. U.S. Global Investors is in the process of closing its limited-purpose broker-dealer subsidiary in connection with the transition, which will also result in cost savings.

The expense cap is a contractual limit through April 30, 2016, for the Near-Term Tax Free Fund, and a voluntary limit for all other funds, on total fund operating expenses (exclusive of any acquired fund fees and expenses, performance fees, extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage commissions and interest). U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (the &#8220;Adviser&#8221;) can modify or terminate the voluntary limits at any time, which may lower a fund&#8217;s yield or return. Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Results reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. For a portion of periods, the fund had expense limitations, without which returns would have been lower. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance does not include the effect of any direct fees described in the fund&#8217;s prospectus (e.g., short-term trading fees of 0.05%) which, if applicable, would lower your total returns. Performance quoted for periods of one year or less is cumulative and not annualized.

Morningstar ratings for the Gold and Precious Metals Fund, based on risk-adjusted returns, in the Equity Precious Metals fund category, through 12/31/2015: four stars in the three-year period out of 72 funds, four stars in the five-year period out of 71 funds, and four stars in the 10-year period out of 51 funds. The Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted-average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year Morningstar Rating metrics. Past performance does not guarantee future results. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund&#8217;s monthly performance (including the 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 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. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.)</font></div>

Though the Near-Term Tax Free Fund seeks minimal fluctuations in share price, it is subject to the risk that the credit quality of a portfolio holding could decline, as well as risk related to changes in the economic conditions of a state, region or issuer. These risks could cause the fund&#8217;s share price to decline. Tax-exempt income is federal income tax free. A portion of this income may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. The Near-Term Tax Free Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities that pay taxable interest. Income or fund distributions attributable to capital gains are usually subject to both state and federal income taxes.</font></div>

The prices of gold, precious metals, and precious minerals are subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of time and may be affected by unpredicted international monetary and political policies. We suggest investing no more than 5% to 10% of your portfolio in these sectors.</font></div>
