Fund Description

The Fund invests across various asset classes and sectors of the US, foreign and emerging markets equity, fixed income and commodities markets. The Fund’s principal investment objective is capital appreciation. The Fund’s adviser, CMG Capital Management Group (the “Adviser”), executes the Fund’s investment strategy. The Adviser evaluates market data and information from various research providers to invest the Fund’s assets creating a flexible tactical asset allocation portfolio that shifts between various asset classes depending on fundamental macroeconomic and technical market conditions. The Adviser evaluates fundamental macroeconomic analysis such as (but not limited to) economic growth, unemployment, inflation as well as consideration of monetary or fiscal policy to identify securities with favorable prospects for capital appreciation. For value investing, the Adviser considers fundamental macroeconomic analysis to determine which asset classes are overvalued or undervalued and seeks to generate returns by capitalizing on temporary differences in relative prices of broad asset classes as well as regional and sector exposure. In pursuing momentum-based investing, the Adviser seeks to take advantage of trends in market prices. Momentum investing seeks to take advantage of upward trends or downwards trends in an asset class, region, sector, industry or security.

The Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing in US, foreign and emerging markets equities of any capitalization during sustained equity market rallies and investing defensively in US Treasury securities and other fixed income securities during periods of weakness in equity markets. The Fund considers emerging market issuers to be those countries represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Fund may also invest in commodities markets regardless of market conditions in seeking to deliver positive returns that are generally not correlated to those of equities and fixed income securities. The Fund may have commodities investment exposure to diversified commodities, metals, energy and agriculture. The fixed income securities in which the Fund invests are US government securities and investment grade and non-investment grade (“junk bonds”) US, foreign and emerging market corporate debt of any maturity. The Fund achieves its equity, fixed income and commodities market exposures principally through investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), open-end funds and closed-end funds (“Underlying Funds”). During periods of equity market weakness, the Fund may hold significant investments in US Treasury securities and money market funds. While the Fund will normally hold a mix of equity Underlying Funds, commodities Underlying Funds and fixed income Underlying Funds, it is possible that the Fund, from time to time, may solely invest in either equity or fixed income Underlying Funds.

To determine equity market strength and the allocation of the Fund’s assets between equities and fixed income, the Adviser analyzes and evaluates the research data and market reports of multiple research providers selected by the Adviser. These reports and data include tactical research that focuses on specific asset classes, sectors, investment styles and other market exposures. The adviser may engage in frequent buying and selling of securities in seeking to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
