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 Fund’s net asset value and performance.

 

The following risks may apply to the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 Fund’s per-share net asset value on the date of a distribution’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s combined long and short exposure creates leverage, which can magnify the Fund’s potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s 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, there’s 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 you’ll 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 advisor’s 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 adviser’s judgments about the allocation of Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s options strategy will be effective or that suitable transactions will be available. Volatility in the value of the Fund’s option positions could result in significant losses for the Fund. The Fund’s option strategy’s 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.
