Risk [Text Block] |
As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. The Fund
is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the Funds net asset value and performance.
The
following risks may apply to the Funds investments:
| ● | Credit
Risk: There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities
and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the
credit quality of securities held by the Fund may be lowered if an issuers financial
condition changes. |
| ● | Derivatives
Risk: The Fund uses an options strategy. Options involve risks possibly greater
than the risks associated with investing directly in securities including leverage risk,
tracking risk (the derivatives may not track the underlying securities) and certain options
involve counterparty default risk. |
| ● | Distribution
Policy Risk: The Fund pays quarterly distributions on Fund shares at a target rate
that represents an annualized payout of approximately 2.0% on the Funds per-share
net asset value on the date of a distributions declaration. Shareholders receiving
periodic payments from the Fund may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits.
However, all or a portion of a distribution may consist of a return of capital. Return of
capital is the portion of distribution that is a return of your original investment dollars
in the Fund. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund
is net profit. Shareholders should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis
of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their
shares. The Fund will provide disclosures, with each monthly distribution, that estimate
the percentages of the current and year-to-date distributions that represent (1) net investment
income, (2) capital gains and (3) return of capital. At the end of the year, the Fund may
be required under applicable law to re-characterize distributions made previously during
that year among (1) ordinary income, (2) capital gains and (3) return of capital for tax
purposes. |
| ● | Fixed
Income Risk: The Fund may invest directly in fixed income securities, or indirectly through
ETFs, money market funds, or mutual funds which invest primarily in fixed income securities.
The value of the Funds investments in fixed income securities, whether via direct
investment or through Underlying Funds, will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. Other
risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the Fund later than
expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount
of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment by the
Fund, possibly causing the Funds share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate
more than other types of investments. |
| ● | Hedging
Risk: Because the Fund hedges certain investments, the Fund may not benefit from upswings
in the market to the same extent it would if it utilized a different investment strategy.
The Fund does not expect to participate fully in positive markets because its premium collection
options strategy is not designed to track the market. |
| ● | Leverage
Risk: Using options to increase the Funds combined long and short exposure creates
leverage, which can magnify the Funds potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify
the effects of market volatility on the Funds share price. |
| ● | Liquidity
Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that you might not be able to buy or sell investments
quickly for a price that is close to the true underlying value of the asset. When a bond
is said to be liquid, theres generally an active market of investors buying and selling
that type of bond. Treasury bonds and larger issues by well known corporations are generally
very liquid. But not all bonds are liquid; some trade very infrequently, which can present
a problem if you try to sell before maturity—the fewer people that are interested in
buying the bond you want to sell, the more likely it is youll have to sell for a lower
price, possibly incurring a loss on your investment. Liquidity risk exists when particular
investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund
from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring
the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy
its obligations. Liquidity risk can be greater for bonds that have lower credit ratings (or
were recently downgraded), or bonds that were part of a small issue or sold by an infrequent
issuer. |
| ● | Market
and Geopolitical Risk: The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and
financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial
market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities
in the Fund may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates,
global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change or
climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory
events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar
to those in recent years, such as a worldwide pandemic, terrorist attacks, natural disasters,
social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market
volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets
may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such
event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund.
The COVID-19 global pandemic had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts,
on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other
significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period
of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, the Fund could
lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods
during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset
classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have
the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions
you could lose your entire investment. |
| ● | Management
Risk: The advisors judgments about the long-term returns the Fund may generate
through its principal investment strategies may prove to be incorrect and may not produce
the desired results. Additionally, the advisers judgments about the allocation of
Funds assets between the principal investment strategies and potential performance
of each may also prove incorrect and may not produce the desired results. The Fund is not
designed to participate in or be correlated to overall movements of the markets; therefore,
the Fund may not benefit from positive equity markets, or experience the same type of positive
returns as some other funds in a positive equity market environment. The Fund may also experience
losses in a negative equity market, and such losses may be amplified if the options strategy
is not successful. The Funds principal investment strategies may not achieve their
intended results and each strategy could negatively impact the Fund. |
| ● | Market
Volatility Risk: Overall equity, fixed income, and derivatives market risks may affect
the value of the Fund. While the Fund is not designed to be correlated with the markets in
general, dramatic or abrupt volatility within the market would negatively impact the Funds
premium collection options strategy, causing significant losses for the Fund. Factors such
as domestic and foreign economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and
political events affect the securities and derivatives markets. When the value of the Fund
goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money. |
| ● | Non-Correlation
Risk: Although the Fund will invest in options on the S&P 500 Index, the Fund is
not designed to track the returns of such index. The Funds return may not match the
return of the S&P 500 Index because it is not investing directly in the equity securities
that comprise such index. Also, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the
index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities. |
| ● | Options
Risk: Options are subject to changes in the underlying securities or index of securities
on which such instruments are based. There is no guarantee that the Funds options
strategy will be effective or that suitable transactions will be available. Volatility in
the value of the Funds option positions could result in significant losses for the
Fund. The Funds option strategys profit potential is limited to the net premium
received when entering the trades. The potential for loss is an amount equal to the 1) difference
between the strike price of the long put and the strike price of the short put, plus 2) any
commissions paid. Maximum loss under the option strategy occurs from the put trade, when
the underlying price is less than or equal to the strike price of the short put. A portion
of any option premiums may be treated as short-term capital gains and when distributed to
shareholders are usually taxable as ordinary income, which may have a higher tax rate than
long-term capital gains for shareholders holding Fund shares in a taxable account. |
| ● | Underlying
Funds Risk: The Fund may invest in ETFs, money market funds, or mutual funds that invest
primarily in fixed income securities. Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory
and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing
in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund and
may be higher than other mutual funds that only invest directly in stocks and bonds. ETFs
in which the Fund invests will not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the indices
they track because the total return generated by the securities will be reduced by transaction
costs incurred in adjusting the actual balance of the securities. The market value of the
ETF shares may differ from their net asset value. Underlying Funds in which the Fund may
invest may be subject to different risks, investment strategies and policies than those of
the Fund. |
