Fund Description

The Fund pursues its investment objective by allocating assets among four major asset classes (commodities, currencies, equities and fixed income).Generally, the Fund gains exposure to asset classes by investing in several hundred futures contracts, futures-related instruments, forwards and swaps, including, but not limited to, commodity futures, forwards and swaps; currencies, currency futures and forwards; equities, equity index futures, equity swaps and volatility futures; bond futures and swaps; interest rate futures and swaps and credit default index swaps (collectively, the “Instruments”). The Fund may either invest directly in the Instruments or indirectly by investing in the Subsidiary (as described below) that invests in the Instruments. 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 funds or exchange-traded notes 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 Adviser uses a proprietary, systematic and quantitative process which seeks to benefit from price trends in commodity, currency, equity, volatility, credit and fixed income Instruments. As part of this process, the Fund will take either a long or short position in a given Instrument. The size and type (long or short) of the position taken will relate to various factors, including the Adviser’s systematic assessment of a trend, utilizing both price and fundamental data, and its likelihood of continuing as well as the Adviser’s estimate of the Instrument’s risk. The owner of a long position in an instrument will benefit from an increase in the price of the instrument, or, in the case of a derivative instrument, from an increase in the price of the underlying instrument. The owner of a short position in an instrument will benefit from a decrease in the price of the instrument, or, in the case of a derivative instrument, from a decrease in the price of the underlying instrument. The Adviser generally expects that the Fund will have exposure in long and short positions across all four major asset classes (commodities, currencies, fixed income and equities), but at any one time the Fund may emphasize one or two of the asset classes or a limited number of exposures within an asset class. The Fund may have exposure to companies of any market capitalization. There is no percentage limit on the Fund's exposure to below investment-grade fixed income securities or to small less-liquid equity securities.Futures and forward contracts are contractual agreements to buy or sell a particular currency, commodity or financial instrument at a pre-determined price in the future. The Fund’s use of futures contracts, forward contracts, swaps and certain other Instruments will have the economic effect of financial leverage. Financial leverage magnifies exposure to the swings in prices of an asset class underlying an Instrument and results in increased volatility, which means the Fund will have the potential for greater gains, as well as the potential for greater losses, than if the Fund did not use Instruments that have a leveraging effect. For example, if the Adviser seeks to gain enhanced exposure to a specific asset class through an Instrument providing leveraged exposure to the asset class and that Instrument increases in value, the gain to the Fund will be magnified. If that investment decreases in value, however, the loss to the Fund will be magnified. A decline in the Fund’s assets due to losses magnified by the Instruments providing leveraged exposure may require the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations or to meet redemption requests when it may not be advantageous to do so. There is no assurance that the Fund’s use of Instruments providing enhanced exposure will enable the Fund to achieve its investment objective.The Adviser, on average, will target an annualized volatility level for the Fund ranging between 5% and 13%. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the dispersion of returns of a security or fund or index, as measured by the annualized standard deviation of its returns. The actual or realized volatility level for longer or shorter periods may be materially higher or lower depending on market conditions. Higher volatility generally indicates higher risk. Actual or realized volatility can and will differ from the forecasted or target volatility described above.As a result of the Fund’s strategy, the Fund may have highly leveraged exposure to one or more asset classes at times. The 1940 Act and the rules and interpretations thereunder impose certain limitations on the Fund’s ability to use leverage; however, the Fund is not subject to any additional limitations on its net long and short exposures. For example, the Fund, on average, could hold instruments that provide three to four times the net return of a broad- or narrow-based securities index. For more information on these and other risk factors, please see the “Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund” section of the prospectus.When taking into account derivative instruments and instruments with a maturity of one year or less at the time of acquisition, the Fund’s strategy will result in frequent portfolio trading and high portfolio turnover (typically greater than 300% per year).The Adviser will consider the potential federal income tax impact on a shareholders’ after-tax investment return of certain trading decisions, including but not limited to, selling or closing out of Instruments to realize losses, or to refrain from selling or closing out of Instruments to avoid realizing gains, when determined by the Adviser to be appropriate. The Adviser will also take into consideration various tax rules pertaining to holding periods, wash sales and tax straddles.A significant portion of the Fund's assets may be held in cash or cash equivalent investments, with one year or less to maturity, including, but not limited to, money market instruments and U.S. Government securities (collectively, “Cash Equivalents”). The cash or Cash Equivalent holdings earn income for the Fund and can be held as unencumbered assets of the Fund or serve as collateral for the positions that the Fund takes on.The Fund intends to make investments through the Subsidiary and may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. Generally, the Subsidiary will invest primarily in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as commodity futures, forwards and swaps (which may include swaps on commodity futures), and will hold cash and Cash Equivalents. The Fund will invest in the 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, the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivative instruments, however, the Fund and the Subsidiary will comply with Rule 18f-4 on a consolidated basis with respect to investments in derivatives. In addition, the Fund and the Subsidiary will be subject to the same fundamental investment restrictions on a consolidated basis and, to the extent applicable to the investment activities of the Subsidiary, the Subsidiary will follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary will not seek to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code. The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary and does not expect shares of the Subsidiary to be offered or sold to other investors.
