Fund Description

The Sierra Tactical All Asset Fund is a “fund of funds”. To access a wide variety of underlying asset classes and strategies, the Adviser (defined below) seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives by investing in open-end investment companies (mutual funds) and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (collectively “Underlying Funds”) using the Adviser’s multi-asset diversification strategy. The Adviser constructs the Fund’s broadly-diversified investment portfolio by investing at various times in a wide range of Underlying Funds that invest in various security and investment categories (each an “Asset Class”).

Underlying Funds include those that invest in:

equity securities (common and preferred stock) of both domestic and foreign companies of various sizes;
fixed-income securities of domestic and foreign corporate and government issuers, without restriction as to maturity or credit quality, including “high yield” securities;
physical commodities, such as crude oil, copper and wheat, through mutual funds and ETFs that invest in commodity-linked derivatives;
currencies and the Dollar Index, and its inverse;
funds that rise in value when interest rates rise; and
money-market instruments.

The Fund defines high yield securities, also known as “junk bonds,” as fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (rated BB+ or lower by S&P or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO)), and if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

The Adviser’s multi-asset diversification strategy employs unusually broad diversification across Asset Classes (investment categories), markets, industries and issuers in an effort to limit downside risk as well as to seek opportunities to enhance return. The Adviser constructs the Fund’s portfolio in the following manner: First, the Adviser selects Asset Classes that it believes will respond differently to a variety of economic forces. Second, the Adviser identifies diversified Underlying Funds through which the Fund can participate in each chosen Asset Class. Third, within many Asset Classes, the Adviser attempts to identify Underlying Funds with managers whose history demonstrates an ability to add positive Alpha (above-peer-group-average total return after adjusting for volatility). Where available, the Fund invests in institutional share classes, those with the lowest internal fees for those Underlying Funds. Fourth, the Adviser monitors each Underlying Fund daily, and sells or hedges the Underlying Fund whenever it declines “substantially”, as defined by the Adviser’s proprietary studies of the historic behavior of the Asset Class represented by the Underlying Fund.

The Adviser does not employ a passive “buy and hold,” strategy. As part of its integrated risk-management disciplines, the Adviser monitors each Fund holding daily and applies a trailing stop discipline (a form of sell signal) to each Underlying Fund in the Fund’s portfolio. The Adviser employs a trailing stop discipline which adjusts the sell signal level as the price of a holding rises and is calculated as a percentage or dollar amount below the market price. When the price of a holding decreases by a certain percentage or dollar amount, the Adviser sells the holding in an attempt to protect profits and minimize further impact on the portfolio. A trailing stop discipline is a type of stop calculation managed by the Adviser that rises each day as the price of the underlying security rises, and thus “trails” the price movement. When any Underlying Fund declines in price enough to generate a “Sell signal” the Adviser either sells the Underlying Fund. or hedges by purchasing an inverse Underlying Fund.

The buy and sell disciplines are not designed to attempt to buy at lows or to sell at highs, but to seek to participate in a substantial part of any sustained uptrend in a selected asset class, as well as to step aside during most of any sustained downtrend. The Adviser employs a “reactive” approach, meaning it reacts with discipline to actual reversals in price trends, as distinct from a “predictive” approach to market movements.

The overall asset allocation of the Fund is not fixed. It can and does change significantly over time as the Adviser decides to re-allocate portions of the portfolio in response to trend changes in the U.S. and global economy and in various investment markets. The Adviser may engage in frequent buying and selling of portfolio securities to achieve the Fund’s investment objectives.
