General Risks. There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. The value of your investment in the Fund will go up and down with the prices of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Company Risk. The Fund may invest in securities that involve certain special circumstances that the Adviser believes offer the opportunity for long-term capital appreciation. These investments may involve greater risks of loss than investments in securities of well-established companies with a history of consistent operating patterns.

Underlying Fund Risk. None of the Underlying Funds are or will be affiliated with the Fund or the Adviser. Therefore, investment decisions by the investment advisers of the Underlying Funds are made independently of the Fund and the Fund’s Adviser. The investment adviser of one Underlying Fund may be purchasing securities of the same issuer whose securities are being sold by the investment adviser of another Underlying Fund. The result of this would be an indirect expense to the Fund without accomplishing any investment purpose. The risk that the Fund’s performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by underlying funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of underlying funds to achieve their respective investment objectives. The Fund bears Underlying Fund fees and expenses indirectly.

Business Development Companies Risk. Business Development Companies (“BDC’s”) are a specialized form of closed-end fund that invest generally in small developing companies and financially troubled businesses. BDC’s invest in private companies and thinly traded securities of public companies, including debt instruments. Generally, little public information exists for private and thinly traded companies and there is a risk that investors may not be able to make fully informed investment decisions. Many debt investments in which a BDC may invest will not be rated by a credit rating agency and will be below investment grade quality. Risks faced by BDC’s include: competition for limited BDC investment opportunities; the liquidity of a BDC’s private investments; uncertainty as to the value of a BDC’s private investments; risks associated with access to capital and leverage; and reliance on the management of a BDC. A Fund’s investments in BDC’s are similar and include portfolio company risk, leverage risk, market and valuation risk, price volatility risk and liquidity risk.

Debt Security Risk. The values of debt securities held by the Fund are affected by rising and declining interest rates. In general, debt securities with longer term maturities tend to fall more in value when interest rates rise than debt securities with shorter terms. A debt security is also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default, and therefore it may lose value if the issuer is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.

Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund’s direct or indirect investments in foreign securities, including depositary receipts, involve risks not associated with investing in U.S. securities that can adversely affect the Fund’s performance. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, may be less liquid, more volatile and subject to less government supervision than domestic markets. The value of the Fund’s investment may be negatively affected by changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. There may be difficulties enforcing contractual obligations, and it may take more time for trades to clear and settle.

Small-Cap Company Risk. The Fund’s investments in small-cap companies may involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established issuers. Smaller companies generally have narrower product lines, more limited financial resources and more limited trading markets for their stock, as compared with larger companies. Their securities may be less well-known and trade less frequently and in more limited volume than the securities of larger, more established companies.

Convertible Securities Risk. A convertible security is a bond, debenture, note, preferred stock or other security that may be converted into or exchanged for a prescribed amount of common stock of the same or a different issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. A convertible security entitles the holder to receive the interest paid or accrued on debt or the dividend paid on preferred stock until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion or exchange, such securities ordinarily provide a stream of income with generally higher yields than common stocks of the same or similar issuers, but lower than the yield on non-convertible debt. The value of a convertible security is a function of (1) its yield in comparison with the yields of other securities of comparable maturity and quality that do not have a conversion privilege and (2) its worth, at market value, if converted into or exchanged for the underlying common stock. Convertible securities are typically issued by smaller capitalized companies whose stock prices may be volatile. The price of a convertible security often reflects such variations in the price of the underlying common stock in a way that non-convertible debt does not.

General Risks. There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. The value of your investment in the Fund will go up and down with the prices of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Junk Bonds or High Yield, High Risk Securities Risk. Bonds rated below investment grade (i.e., BB or lower by S&P or Ba or lower by Moody’s) are speculative in nature, involve greater risk of default by the issuing entity and may be subject to greater market fluctuations than higher rated fixed income securities.

Equity Security Risk. Prices of equity securities generally fluctuate more than those of other securities, such as debt securities. Market risk, the risk that prices of securities will decrease because of the interplay of market forces, may affect a single issuer, industry or sector of the economy or may affect the market as a whole.

Investment Company Risk. Any investment in an open- end investment company involves the risk that the value of shares of the investment company will go up and down in response to changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. In addition, the Fund will indirectly bear the fees and expenses of the underlying investment company.

Closed-End Fund Risk. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a price per share that is less than the net asset value per share. There can be no assurance that the market discount on shares of any closed-end fund purchased by the Funds will ever decrease or that when the Fund seeks to sell shares of a closed-end fund it can receive the net asset value of those shares.

Debt Security Risk. The values of debt securities held by the Fund are affected by rising and declining interest rates. In general, debt securities with longer term maturities tend to fall more in value when interest rates rise than debt securities with shorter terms. A debt security is also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default, and therefore it may lose value if the issuer is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.

Investment Grade Securities Risk. Debt securities are rated by national bond ratings agencies. Securities rated BBB by S&P or Baa by Moody’s are considered investment grade securities, but are somewhat riskier than higher rated obligations because they are regarded as having only an adequate capacity to pay principal and interest, and are considered to lack outstanding investment characteristics.

Junk Bonds or High Yield, High Risk Securities Risk. Bonds rated below investment grade (i.e., BB or lower by S&P or Ba or lower by Moody’s) (“junk bonds”) are speculative in nature, involve greater risk of default by the issuing entity and may be subject to greater market fluctuations than higher rated fixed income securities. They are usually issued by companies without long track records of sales and earnings, or by those companies with questionable credit strength. The retail secondary market for these “junk bonds” may be less liquid than that of higher rated securities and adverse conditions could make it difficult at times to sell certain securities or could result in lower prices than those used in calculating the Fund’s net asset value. The Fund investing in “junk bonds” may also be subject to greater credit risk because it may invest in debt securities issued in connection with corporate restructuring by highly leveraged issuers or in debt securities not current in the payment of interest or principal or in default.

Emerging Market Risk. There are greater risks involved in investing in emerging market countries and/or their securities markets. Generally, economic structures in these countries are less diverse and mature than those in developed countries, and their political systems are less stable. Investments in emerging markets countries may be affected by national policies that restrict foreign investment in certain issuers or industries.

Convertible Securities Risk. A convertible security is a bond, debenture, note, preferred stock or other security that may be converted into or exchanged for a prescribed amount of common stock of the same or a different issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. A convertible security entitles the holder to receive the interest paid or accrued on debt or the dividend paid on preferred stock until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion or exchange, such securities ordinarily provide a stream of income with generally higher yields than common stocks of the same or similar issuers, but lower than the yield on non-convertible debt. The value of a convertible security is a function of (1) its yield in comparison with the yields of other securities of comparable maturity and quality that do not have a conversion privilege and (2) its worth, at market value, if converted into or exchanged for the underlying common stock. Convertible securities are typically issued by smaller capitalized companies whose stock prices may be volatile. The price of a convertible security often reflects such variations in the price of the underlying common stock in a way that non-convertible debt does not.

Real Estate Investment Trust Risk. Investments in real estate investment trusts and other issuers that invest, deal, or otherwise engage in transactions in or hold real estate or interests therein expose the Fund to risks similar to investing directly in real estate and the value of these investments may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying real estate, the creditworthiness of the issuer of the investments, and changes in property taxes, interest rates and the real estate regulatory environment.

Credit Liquidity and Volatility Risk. The markets for credit instruments have experienced periods of extreme illiquidity and volatility. General market uncertainty and consequent repricing risk have, in the past, led to market imbalances of sellers and buyers, which in turn resulted in significant valuation uncertainties in a variety of debt securities and significant and rapid value declines in certain instances. Under those kinds of conditions, valuation of some of the Funds’ fixed income securities could be uncertain and/or result in sudden and significant value declines in its holdings. In addition, future illiquidity and volatility in the credit markets may directly and adversely affect the setting of dividend rates.

The Fund’s main risks are listed below in alphabetical order, not in order of importance.

Debt Security Risk. The value of the debt securities held by the Fund are affected by rising and declining interest rates. In general, debt securities with longer-term maturities tend to fall more in value when interest rates rise than debt securities with shorter terms. A debt security is also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default, and therefore it may lose value if the issuer is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due.

Interest Rate Risk. There is a risk that bond prices will decline due to rising interest rates. Interest rate risk is expected to be low because the Fund invests primarily in short-term bonds whose prices are less sensitive to interest rate changes than are the prices of longer-term bonds.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is new and has limited performance history for investors to review.

Treasury STRIPS Risk. Treasury STRIPS are fixed income securities that are sold at a significant discount to face value and offer no interest payments because they mature at par. These securities are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than coupon-bearing securities with the same maturity date. We expect the Fund will be required to distribute income dividends to shareholders, however, because Treasury STRIPS do not pay interest and are purchased at an “original issue discount,” the Fund does not receive cash interest payments on the STRIPS in which it invests. As a result, the Fund may need to liquidate assets, at potentially inopportune times, to satisfy its income dividend distribution requirements.

Equity Security Risk. Prices of equity securities generally fluctuate more than those of other securities, such as debt securities. Market risk, the risk that prices of securities will decrease because of the interplay of market forces, may affect a single issuer, industry or sector of the economy or may affect the market as a whole.

Small Company Risk. Small company securities tend to be less liquid and more difficult to sell than those issued by larger companies. Small company stocks can be more volatile and may underperform the market or become out of favor with investors. Small company securities may be very sensitive to changing economic conditions and market downturns because the issuers often have narrow markets, fewer product lines, and limited managerial and financial resources, resulting in volatile stock prices and a limited ability to sell them at a desirable time or price.
