Fund Description

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by seeking a bond-like risk profile with enhanced income by investing globally across five major asset classes (commodities, currencies, fixed income, equities and credit). FS Fund Advisor, LLC (“FS” or the “Adviser”) seeks to generate returns and income associated with investing in higher yielding asset classes, instruments and securities, while managing overall portfolio risks. The Adviser typically allocates the assets of the Fund among (i) MidOcean Credit Fund Management, L.P. (“MidOcean” or the “Sub‑Adviser”) that directly manages a portion of Fund assets in implementing the Fund’s credit strategies and (ii) a number of alternative beta providers (“Alternative Beta Providers”) that offer the Fund exposure to the returns of particular investment strategies (“Alternative Beta Strategies”). The Adviser may also manage all or a portion of the Fund’s assets directly. MidOcean implements a long only credit strategy which seeks to capture capital appreciation and current income from three primary pockets of inefficiencies in the credit market: callable bonds, short-dated credit and crossover credit (credit that has received an investment grade rating from one credit rating agency and a below investment grade rating from another agency). An Alternative Beta Provider is a financial institution that serves as a counterparty to the Fund in a total return swap (or similar instruments or other arrangements) that offers exposure to the returns of a specified underlying asset. In a typical total return swap (or similar instrument) transaction with an Alternative Beta Provider, the   Fund agrees to pay a fixed or variable interest rate to the Alternative Beta Provider in exchange for return earned on a specified underlying asset. Alternative Beta Providers are swap (or similar instrument) counterparties, not sub‑advisers. Alternative Beta Providers in particular may offer cost advantages over traditional alternative asset managers. The strategies employed by the use of Alternative Beta Providers are referred to in this Prospectus as “Alternative Investment Strategies.” In general, Alternative Beta Strategies seek to identify and capitalize upon market inefficiencies and market behavioral biases (or risk premia). Alternative Beta Strategies typically have less correlation to traditional equity and fixed income markets than traditional investment strategies. The Fund generally seeks to obtain exposure to Alternative Investment Strategies in a cost-efficient manner, particularly as compared to private investment vehicles that have historically been used to access alternative investment strategies. Alternative Beta Strategies may include historical trend (seeking to benefit from the historical tendency of securities with certain characteristics to outperform others), carry and curve, low beta, value and volatility premium and momentum strategies (which emphasize investing in securities that have better recent performance compared to other securities). The Adviser may also manage all or a portion of the Fund’s assets directly. The Alternative Beta Strategies may expose the Fund to a broad range of markets, asset classes and market sectors economically tied to U.S. and foreign markets (both exchange-traded and over‑the‑counter instruments). There is no limit on the amount of exposure the Fund may have to any specific asset class, market sector, or instrument. The Adviser generally expects that the Fund will have exposure in long and short positions across all five major asset classes (commodities, currencies, fixed income, equities and credit), but at any one time the Fund may allocate to one or two of the asset classes or a limited number of exposures within an asset class. Principal strategies utilized by the Adviser, Sub‑Adviser or Alternative Beta Providers include:   •   Credit strategies: Income oriented strategies investing in high yield and investment grade credit to deliver high levels of income   •   Macro Carry strategies: Macro-oriented investment approaches that seek to invest in assets with higher yields while short selling those with lower yields, seeking to capture the tendency for higher-yielding assets to provide higher returns than lower-yielding assets. The Fund will seek long exposure by buying high-yielding assets and short exposure by selling low‑yielding assets.   •   Equity Income strategies: Equity-oriented investment strategies that seek to invest in securities with attractive dividend characteristics.   •   Volatility Premium Strategies, that seek to capture returns from market participants’ tendency to overpay for volatility protection. Historically, the average implied volatility of index options has exceeded the realized volatility of the underlying index. This difference represents the volatility premium, or the market participants’ willingness to pay for protection against losses when volatility suddenly increases.   •   Hedging Strategies that aim to provide portfolio protection may also be utilized. These strategies may use timing signals to inform their trading decisions. The derivative instruments (both exchange-traded and over‑the‑counter instruments) in which the Fund may invest include forwards, futures, options, structured investments (including structured notes), and swaps (such as total return swaps, which the Fund expects to invest in significantly, up to 100% of the Fund’s non‑cash related exposure). The Fund will not gain investment exposure to the commodities markets directly, but may do so indirectly through structured investments or in one or more Subsidiaries (as defined below). The Fund may invest in derivatives for both hedging and non‑hedging purposes, including, for example, seeking to enhance returns or as a substitute for a position in an underlying asset, instrument, or other reference, to increase market exposure and investment flexibility, or to obtain or reduce particular exposures. The Fund may engage in forward foreign currency transactions for speculative purposes. The Fund may purchase or sell foreign currencies through the use of forward contracts based on the Adviser’s judgment regarding the direction of the market for a particular foreign currency or currencies. In pursuing this strategy, the Fund seeks to profit from anticipated movements in currency rates by establishing “long” and/or “short” positions in forward contracts on various foreign currencies. There are no geographic limits on the market exposure of the Fund’s assets. This flexibility allows the Adviser to look for investments or gain exposure to asset classes and markets around the world, including emerging markets, that it believes will enhance the Fund’s ability to meet its objective. The Fund may also invest in exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) through which the Fund can participate in the performance of one or more instruments. The Fund’s return is expected to be derived principally from changes in the value of securities and its portfolio is expected to consist principally of securities. The Fund expects to have significant investment leverage (market exposure substantially in excess of the Fund’s assets) as a result of certain of its investments (e.g., derivatives). The Adviser anticipates that the Fund’s notional investment exposure will be approximately 250 – 900% of the net assets of the Fund in the market environment that the Adviser expects to be the most frequent, although leverage may be significantly higher or lower in other market environments or when the Adviser otherwise believes conditions so warrant. The Fund may pursue its investment objective and obtain exposures to some or all of the asset classes described in this Prospectus by investing in other investment companies, including, for example, other open‑end or closed‑end investment companies, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and domestic or foreign private investment vehicles, including investment companies sponsored or managed by the Adviser or its related parties. The Fund may also invest in privately placed and other securities or instruments exempt from Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registration (collectively, “private placements”). The Fund may also invest in repurchase agreements. The Fund intends to make investments through one or more offshore, wholly-owned subsidiaries (each, a “Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) and may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiaries. Generally, each Subsidiary will invest primarily in commodity futures, forwards and swaps, but it may also invest in financial futures, option and swap contracts, fixed income securities, pooled investment vehicles, including those that are not registered pursuant to the 1940 Act, and other investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary’s derivative positions. The Fund will invest in each Subsidiary in order to gain exposure to the commodities markets within the limitations of the federal tax laws, rules and regulations that apply to registered investment companies. Unlike the Fund, each Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivative instruments, however, each Subsidiary will comply with the same 1940 Act asset coverage requirements with respect to its investments in commodity-linked derivatives that are applicable to the Fund’s transactions in derivatives. In addition, the Fund and each Subsidiary will be subject to the same fundamental investment restrictions on a consolidated basis and, to the extent applicable to the investment activities of each Subsidiary, each Subsidiary will follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund. Unlike the Fund, each Subsidiary will not seek to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund is the sole shareholder of each Subsidiary and does not expect shares of a Subsidiary to be offered or sold to other investors. Unlike the Fund (which is subject to limitations under U.S. federal income tax laws), Subsidiaries may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivatives; however, the Fund, in combination with its Subsidiaries, will comply with the same 1940 Act asset coverage requirements with respect to the Subsidiaries’ investments in commodity-linked derivatives that are applicable to the Fund’s direct transactions in derivatives. The equity securities, instruments or assets in which the Fund may invest (or have investment exposure to) include those of, or relating or providing exposure to, issuers of any market capitalization located throughout the world (including the U.S. and emerging markets) across various investment styles (e.g., growth-, value-oriented styles), which may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, depositary receipts (including American depositary receipts), listed private equity, and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and instruments of similar entities formed under the laws of non‑U.S. countries. The fixed income securities, instruments or assets in which the Fund may invest (or have investment exposure to) include those of, or relating or providing exposure to, governments throughout the world (including the U.S. and emerging markets) as well as their agencies and instrumentalities and government-sponsored enterprises, debt securities of non‑governmental issuers (e.g., corporate issuers) throughout the world (including the U.S. and emerging markets), debt securities of any credit rating (including below investment grade debt securities, commonly known as “high-yield” or “junk” bonds) or debt securities that are unrated, floating rate loans, bank loans, loan assignments and loan participations, bankruptcy or trade claims, exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), cash/cash equivalents, and inflation-hedging assets, with exposure to governments including sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt investments. There is no limitation on the credit rating, maturities or duration of the instruments to which the Fund may have investment exposure. Credit indices that deliver both investment grade and high yield exposure (such as CDX IG, CDX HY, iTraxx Main, and iTraxx Crossover) may be used, but individual, single-name credit exposure will not be utilized. The duration of these indices are expected to range from 3 years to 10 years. From time to time, the Fund can have significant exposure to non‑U.S. dollar denominated currencies (up to 50% of the Fund’s assets), including emerging markets currencies. The Fund may take both long and short positions in all of its investments. The Fund may at any time have either a net long exposure or a net short exposure to markets, and the Fund’s portfolio is not managed to maintain any fixed net long or net short market exposure. The Fund may hold a significant (up to 100% of the Fund’s assets) amount of cash, money market instruments (which may include investments in one or more affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds or similar vehicles), other high-quality, short-term investments, or other liquid assets for investment purposes or to meet its segregation obligations as a result of its investments in derivatives. In certain market conditions, the Fund may have no market positions (i.e., the Fund may hold only cash and cash equivalents) when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fund. The Fund’s investment strategy may involve the frequent trading of portfolio securities. Although the Fund intends to normally invest in Alternative Investment Strategies, it retains the flexibility to allocate as little as none or as much as all of its capital to particular Alternative Beta Providers. The Fund is considered non‑diversified, which means that the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer is not limited by the 1940 Act.
