The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily by implementing a market-based factor approach to fixed income that the Fund’s investment adviser, Symmetry, believes has the potential to produce income and capital appreciation before fees over time. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest, directly or indirectly, at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. fixed income securities. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in foreign issuers.

The Fund generally will invest in U.S. treasury obligations, other U.S. government and agency obligations, bank obligations, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, and other debt obligations and cash and cash equivalents. Mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage pass-through securities and mortgage TBAs (“to-be-announced”). The Fund may invest in fixed income instruments with fixed or adjustable (floating) rates. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in high-yield (lower rated) debt instruments (also known as “below investment grade” or “junk bonds”, which are considered speculative). The Fund

does not seek to maintain any particular weighted average maturity or duration, and may invest in fixed income instruments of any maturity or duration. The Fund may also invest in debt obligations, denominated in U.S. dollars, that are issued by a non U.S. corporation or a U.S. affiliate of a non U.S. corporation or a non U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities.

The Trust and the Adviser were granted an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that permits Symmetry, subject to certain conditions, and without the approval of shareholders, to hire and terminate sub-advisers (“Sub-Advisers”). At this time, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”) is the sole sub-adviser to the Fund. The Adviser may add sub-advisers at its discretion. The sub-adviser must operate within the constraints of the Fund’s investment objective, strategies and restrictions.

Currently, JPMIM manages the entirety of the assets in the Fund. JPMIM generally invests in fixed income securities of global issuers, which typically includes, but is not limited to, those securities in the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index is designed to measure the performance of the investment grade fixed income universe in the U.S. JPMIM may also invest in short maturity high-yield fixed income securities rated BB (or the unrated equivalent) at the time of purchase. JPMIM’s factor-based strategy in corporate fixed income securities combines multiple investment styles, including value, momentum and quality, using an integrated multi-factor approach. In managing the Fund, JPMIM intends to overweight corporate bonds relative to their market value weight in the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index. JPMIM seeks to invest in attractively valued corporate fixed income securities with positive momentum characteristics and of companies with stable business operations and practices. A fixed income security may be considered to be a value investment if it appears inexpensive based on market based measures of value relative to fundamental measures. In assessing momentum, JPMIM generally favors corporate fixed income securities with positive performance relative to other fixed income securities within its investment universe and also considers the equity momentum of the issuer. JPMIM also generally favors the fixed income securities issued by companies exhibiting consistent business health and stability, and may include those with strong profitability and balance sheet debt ratios. These factor characteristics are generally evaluated at the time of purchase, and may change throughout the holding period. JPMIM may add to or modify the economic factors employed in selecting securities. JPMIM may also implement a credit steepener strategy both using cash bonds (i.e., overweighting shorter maturity bonds while simultaneously underweighting longer maturity bonds) and credit default swaps (i.e., selling protection and buying protection) to pursue perceived opportunities.

JPMIM determines the weight of each security in its allocated portion of the Fund using a combination of the liquidity of the security, JPMIM’s assessment of attractiveness of the security based on the factors described above, or using additional criteria that form part of JPMIM’s systematic security selection process. JPMIM utilizes portfolio optimization techniques, which incorporate anticipated transaction costs and turnover, to determine portfolio composition and trading activity.

JPMIM may use a variety of derivative instruments including futures and option contracts, forward contracts for currency hedging, interest rate swaps, and credit default swaps. JPMIM may also enter into short positions in derivatives for hedging purposes or to enhance returns. In addition, JPMIM also may invest in derivatives, including but not limited to futures contracts and options on futures contracts, to adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Fund, or to hedge currency risk.
