Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund and that the income you receive from your investment may vary. The value of your investment in the Fund will go up and down with the prices of the securities in which the Fund invests. The value of a security or other asset may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, exchange, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues like pandemics or epidemics, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments.

The long-term impact of COVID-19 and other pandemics and epidemics that may arise in the future, could affect the economies of many nations, individual companies and the market in general in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. In addition, the impact of infectious diseases in developing or emerging market countries may be greater due to less established health care systems. Similar health crises may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities has historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles. The value of equity securities purchased by the Fund could decline if the financial condition of the companies the Fund invests in declines or if overall market and economic conditions deteriorate.

Debt Securities Risk. Debt securities, such as bonds, involve interest rate risk, credit risk, call risk, income risk and extension risk.

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer will be unable to pay the interest or principal on its obligations when due. The degree of credit risk depends on both the financial condition of the issuer and the terms of the obligation. The price of fixed-income securities will generally fall if the issuer defaults on its obligation to pay principal or interest, the rating agencies downgrade the issuer’s credit ratings or other news affects the market’s perception of the issuer’s credit risk.

Extension Risk. When interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these obligations to fall.

Indexed Securities Risks. In addition to shares of index funds, the Fund may invest in indexed securities, whose value is linked to interest rates, commodities, indices, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e., their value may increase or decrease if the underlying instrument appreciates), and may have return characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying instrument or to one or more options on the underlying instrument. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instrument itself.

Tax Risks. The Fund intends to operate in a manner that will cause it to be exempt from Puerto Rico income and municipal license tax under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended (the “PR Code”), and the Puerto Rico Municipal Code, as amended (the “Municipal Code”), as a registered investment company.

Puerto Rico Income Tax Exemption. To be exempt from Puerto Rico income tax the Fund must meet certain requirements. In Puerto Rico Treasury Determination 19-04, the Puerto Rico Treasury Department held that an investment company that (i) is organized in Puerto Rico, (ii) has its principal office in Puerto Rico, and (iii) is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act, will be treated as a registered investment company under the Investment Companies Act of 2013 (“Act 93-2013”) and thus is entitled to the tax exemption and other tax benefits available under the PR Code to registered investment companies. If such determination is revoked by the Puerto Rico Treasury Department, (i) the Fund would be subject to a Puerto Rico income tax rate of up to 37.5% on its taxable interest income, its dividend income and its short term capital gains, and to a Puerto Rico income tax of up to 20% on its long term capital gains, and (ii) if the 15% Puerto Rico income tax had not been withheld on the Fund’s exempt dividends, and it is determined that that the failure to withhold was not due to reasonable cause, bona fide residents of Puerto Rico (the “Qualifying Individuals”) within the meaning of Sections 933 and 937 of the U.S. Code would be subject to a Puerto Rico income tax on the exempt dividends of up to 31.35%.

Municipal License Tax Exemption. Under Act 93-2013, Puerto Rico registered investment companies are exempt from the municipal license tax imposed by the Puerto Rico municipalities. Pursuant to Article 1.007 of the Municipal Code, Puerto Rico municipalities have the authority to impose taxes that are not incompatible with the taxes imposed by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The municipality of San Juan may disagree with the holding of PR Treasury Determination 19-04 and refuse to treat the Fund as a registered investment company under Act 93-2013, causing the imposition of municipal license taxes of 1.5% on the gross revenues of the Fund.

Conduit Rule. Shareholders who are bona fide residents of Puerto Rico should note that, pursuant to the Regulations issued under Section 937(b) of the U.S. Code, dividends treated as Puerto Rico sourced income (under the general sourcing rules otherwise applicable to dividends paid by Puerto Rico corporations) may be treated as income from sources outside of Puerto Rico subject to U.S. federal income tax, if the investment in the Fund is treated as made pursuant to a conduit plan or arrangement (“conduit arrangements”). See “Taxation”. We understand that said conduit regulations were not intended to apply to an actively managed investment company, such as the Fund, that is subject to regulation by governmental authorities and that, therefore, the general sourcing rules should apply to treat the dividends paid by the Fund as Puerto Rico sourced income excluded from U.S. federal income taxes by shareholders that are bona fide residents of Puerto Rico. However, the IRS or the courts may disagree with this interpretation and treat an investment in the Fund as a conduit arrangement, and, as a result, the dividends paid to shareholders who are bona fide residents of Puerto Rico would be treated as income from U.S. sources subject to U.S. federal income taxes of up to 37%.

U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. Sections 1471 through 1474 (commonly known as “FATCA”) of the U.S. Code impose a 30% withholding tax upon most payments of U.S. sourced income made to certain “foreign financial institutions” (“FFI”) or “non-financial foreign entities” (“NFFE”), unless certain certification and reporting requirements are satisfied by such entities, including providing information with respect to their respective investors. Pursuant to the final regulations issued by the U.S. Treasury and the IRS relating to FATCA, the Fund will be treated as a NFFE, but the Fund elected to register as a direct reporting NFFE with the IRS. Accordingly, the Fund will be required to provide to the IRS certain information with respect to its investors. If the Fund were to be unable to provide such investor information to the IRS or otherwise fail or be unable to comply with the legal and regulatory requirements of the U.S. Code with respect to FATCA, the Fund’s U.S. sourced income would be reduced, inasmuch as it would be subject to such 30% withholding tax. This reduction may negatively affect the Fund’s ability to fulfill its obligations. See the section entitled “Taxation” and consult your tax adviser.

Certificates of Deposit, Time Deposits and Bankers’ Acceptances Risks. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is an agency of the U.S. Government that insures the deposits of certain banks and savings and loan associations up to $250,000 per deposit. The interest on such deposits may not be insured if these limits are exceeded. Time deposits which may be held by the Fund will not benefit from Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance. Although maturities for acceptances can be as long as 270 days, most acceptances have maturities of six months or less.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements Risk. The Fund may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements in which the Fund purchases portfolio securities from the counterparty, coupled with an agreement to resell them to the counterparty at a specific date and price. The market value of securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements typically is greater than the cash paid for the purchase. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the counterparty of the securities purchased by the Fund might be unable to buy them back when the Fund seeks the repurchase. In the event the seller of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such seller or its trustee or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the counterparty obligation to repurchase the securities, and the counterparty use of the proceeds of the repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted pending such decision.

Zero Coupon Securities Risk. While interest payments are not made on such securities, holders of such securities are deemed to have received income (“phantom income”) annually, notwithstanding that cash may not be received currently. The effect of owning instruments that do not make current interest payments is that a fixed yield is earned not only on the original investment but also, in effect, on all discount accretion during the life of the obligations. This implicit reinvestment of earnings at a fixed rate eliminates the risk of being unable to invest distributions at a rate as high as the implicit yield on the zero coupon bond, but at the same time eliminates the holder’s ability to reinvest at higher rates in the future. For this reason, some of these securities may be subject to substantially greater price fluctuations during periods of changing market interest rates than are comparable securities that pay interest currently. Longer term zero coupon bonds are more exposed to interest rate risk than shorter term zero coupon bonds.
