General Risk Disclosures:

Investment in high-yield securities entails certain risks from investing in investment-grade securities, including higher volatility, greater credit risk, and the issues' more speculative nature.

Investment in foreign securities entails certain risks from investing in domestic securities, including changes in exchange rates, political changes, differences in reporting standards, and, for emerging-market securities, higher volatility.

Investment in equity securities poses certain risks, including a sudden decline in a holding's share price, or an overall decline in the stock market. The value of the Fund's investment in any such securities will fluctuate on a day-to-day basis with movements in the stock market, as well as in response to the activities of individual companies whose equity securities the Fund owns. Fund price may fall when the U.S. stock market declines. Moreover, purchasing stocks perceived to be undervalued brings additional risks. For example, the issuing company's condition may worsen instead of improve, or the pace and extent of any improvement may be less than expected.

Social Impact Investing Risk (applies to the Payden California Municipal Social Impact Fund): The Fund's policy of investing in municipal securities for which, in the Adviser's opinion, the proceeds raised are used consistent with positive social and/or environmental practices and outcomes could cause the Fund to perform differently compared to other mutual funds that do not have such a policy. The factors that the Adviser considers in evaluating an investment's positive social and/or environmental benefits are part of a proprietary security selection methodology and may change over time. There are differences in interpretations of what it means to promote positive social and/or environmental benefits. While the Adviser believes its definitions are reasonable, the portfolio decisions it makes may differ with others' views.

Interest Rate Risk: As with most funds that invest in debt securities, the income on and value of your shares in the Fund will fluctuate along with interest rates. When interest rates rise, the market prices of the debt securities the Fund owns usually decline. When interest rates fall, the prices of these securities usually increase.

Extension Risk: Rising interest rates can cause the average maturity of the Fund's holdings of mortgage-backed securities to lengthen unexpectedly due to a drop in prepayments. This would increase the sensitivity of the Fund to rising rates, and could cause certain of the Fund' s investments to decline in value more than they would have declined due to the rise in interest rates alone.
