| Risk [Text Block] | As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose all or part of your investment in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the Funds net asset value (NAV) and performance.
The following is a summary description of principal risks of investing in the Fund that apply to the Funds direct or indirect investments in or exposure to securities or commodity interests, including futures, options and swap contracts. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its NAV and total return, include those described below.
Commodity Risk: Investing in commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Commodity prices may be influenced by various external factors such as unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geologic and environmental factors as well as changes in government regulation such as tariffs, embargoes or burdensome production rules and restrictions.
Counterparty Risk: The risk that a party upon whom the Fund relies to consummate a transaction will default.
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.
Currency Risk: Currency trading involves significant risks, including market risk, interest rate risk, country risk, counterparty credit risk and short sale risk. Market risk results from the price movement of foreign currency values in response to shifting market supply and demand. Interest rate risk arises whenever a country changes its stated interest rate target associated with its currency. Country risk arises because virtually every country has interfered with international transactions in its currency.
Derivatives Risk: Futures, forwards, options and swaps involve risks different from, or possibly greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities including market risk, liquidity risk, leverage risk, tracking risk and counterparty default risk in the case of over the counter derivatives. Option positions may expire worthless exposing the Fund to potentially significant losses.
Derivatives Tax Risk: The federal income tax treatment of a derivative may not be as favorable as a direct investment in an underlying asset and may adversely affect the timing, character and amount of income the Fund realizes from its investments. As a result, a larger portion of the Funds distributions may be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains. In addition, certain derivatives are subject to mark-to-market or straddle provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). If such provisions are applicable, there could be an increase (or decrease) in the amount of taxable dividends paid by the Fund. Further, the Funds derivative strategy may limit its ability to distribute dividends eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income and to distribute dividends eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. In addition, the tax treatment of certain derivatives, such as swaps, is unsettled and can be subject to future legislation, regulation or administrative pronouncements issued by the Internal Revenue Service (the Service).
Emerging Markets Risk: Countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, social and legal systems that do not protect shareholders, economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of issues.
Equity Risk: The NAV of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the equity securities in which it invests. Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.
Exchange Traded Fund Risk: The cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the ETFs in which it invests and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each ETF is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the ETF. Shares of ETFs and closed end funds may trade at a discount or premium to their NAV per share.
Fixed Income Risk: When the Fund invests in fixed income securities or derivatives, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities or derivatives owned by the Fund.
Foreign (Non-US) Currency Risk: Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates in the currencies the Fund is long or short. Credit risk results because a currency-trade counterparty may default. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.
Foreign (Non-US) Exchanges Risk: A portion of the derivatives trades made by the Fund may take place on foreign markets. Neither existing CFTC regulations nor regulations of any other U.S. governmental agency apply to transactions on foreign markets. Some of these foreign markets, in contrast to U.S. exchanges, are so-called principals markets in which performance is the responsibility only of the individual counterparty with whom the trader has entered into a commodity interest transaction and not of the exchange or clearing corporation. In these kinds of markets, there is risk of bankruptcy or other failure or refusal to perform by the counterparty.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Investing in emerging markets imposes risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed countries.
Forward Contracts Risk: There are no limits on daily price fluctuations of forward contracts. Changes in foreign exchange regulations by governmental authorities might limit the trading of forward contracts on currencies. There have been periods during which certain counterparties have refused to continue to quote prices for forward contracts or have quoted prices with an unusually wide spread (i.e., the difference between the price at which the counterparty is prepared to buy and the price at which it is prepared to sell).
Futures Risk: The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts, which may adversely affect the Funds NAV and total return, are (a) the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held by the Fund and the price of the futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a futures contract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the inability to predict correctly the direction of investment prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors; (e) the possibility that the counterparty will default in the performance of its obligations; and (f) if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell investments from its portfolio to meet daily variation margin requirements, and the Fund may have to sell investments at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.
Interest Rate Risk: Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. The value of fixed income securities typically falls when an issuers credit quality declines and may even become worthless if an issuer defaults.
Leverage Risk: Using derivatives 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 exists when particular investments are difficult to sell. Although the Funds investments must be liquid at the time of investment, investments may become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly during periods of market turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, the Funds investments may be harder to value, especially in changing markets, and if the Fund is forced to sell these investments to meet redemptions or for other cash needs, the Fund may suffer a loss. In addition, when there is illiquidity in the market for certain investments, the Fund, due to limitations on investments in illiquid investments, may be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector.
Management Risk: The Advisers judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular asset classes and investments in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results. The Fund utilizes the Advisers investment strategy, which is based on research into historical data and the application of that research to the development of mathematical models that attempt to forecast returns, risk, correlation and transaction costs. This process can be incomplete and/or flawed and there is an inherent risk that any forecasts derived from them may be inaccurate, particularly if the research or models are based on, or incorporate, inaccurate assumptions or data. Assumptions or data could be inaccurate from the outset or may become inaccurate as a result of many factors such as changes in market structure, increased government intervention in markets or growth in assets managed in accordance with similar investment strategies. In particular, such factors may make the investment strategy less effective because they may lessen the prospect of identified trends occurring or continuing in the future. As a result, the investment strategy may not generate profitable signals and the Fund may suffer loss.
Market Risk: Overall securities and derivatives market risks may affect the value of individual instruments in which the Fund invests. 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 Funds investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.
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. Investments in the Funds portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as 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. For example, the COVID-19 global pandemic had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long any future impacts of the significant events described above would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your Fund 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.
Options Risk: There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. As a seller (writer) of a put option, the Fund will tend to lose money if the value of the reference index or security falls below the strike price. As the seller (writer) of a call option, the Fund will tend to lose money if the value of the reference index or security rises above the strike price. As the buyer of a put or call option, the Fund risks losing the entire premium invested in the option if the Fund does not exercise the option.
Portfolio Turnover Risk: The higher portfolio turnover will result in higher transactional and brokerage costs.
Short Position Risk: The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which an offsetting position is purchased. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the Advisers ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security or instrument. The Funds losses are potentially unlimited in a short position transaction.
Swap Risk: The risk of loss with respect to swaps generally is limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make or, in the case of the other party to a swap defaulting, the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. If the Fund sells a credit default swap, however, the risk of loss may be the entire notional amount of the swap.
Some swaps are now executed through an organized exchange or regulated facility and cleared through a regulated clearing organization. The absence of an organized exchange or market for swap transactions may result in difficulties in trading and valuation, especially in the event of market disruptions. The use of an organized exchange or market for swap transactions is expected to result in swaps being easier to trade or value, but this may not always be the case
Taxation Risk: By investing in commodities indirectly through the Subsidiary, the Fund obtains exposure to the commodities markets while complying with the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Typically, any gains/losses from trading in certain futures contracts subject to Section 1256 of the Code, such as exchange-traded commodity futures contracts, are taxed 60% as long-term capital gains/losses and 40% as short-term capital gains/losses. However, because the Subsidiary is a controlled foreign corporation, any income derived from its investments will be included in the Funds income as ordinary income and reflected on shareholders applicable Forms 1099.
Volatility Risk: The Fund may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly in value of short periods of time. This may cause the Funds NAV per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time, however, all investments long- or short-term are subject to risk of loss.
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Risk: For so long as the Fund utilizes a Subsidiary to make certain portfolio investments, the Subsidiary will not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, will not be subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and its Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or Subsidiary to operate as described in this Prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. Your cost of investing in the Fund would be higher because you would indirectly bear the expenses of a Subsidiary. |
