Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. 

Performance information prior to June 10, 2000 includes the performance of the Parkstone U.S. Government Income Fund, which was reorganized into the Allegiant Government Mortgage Fund on that date.

The Barclays Fixed Rate Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, a widely-used unmanaged index of mortgage-backed securities, is not available for direct investment. Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

An investment in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that a Fund's yield will decline due to falling interest rates and the potential for bond prices to fall as interest rates rise. High yielding, non-investment grade bonds present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than investment grade securities. The value of debt securities may be affected by the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. Although U.S. government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the U.S. Treasury. Obligations issued by other agencies (such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Bank) are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to these agencies.

Net expense ratio includes voluntary expense reimbursements by the Funds' investment advisers that may change or end at any time.
