MUTUAL FUND RISK DISCLOSURE – LONGX LONAX

Mutual funds involve risk including possible loss of principal.

There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payment on securities and other investments held by the fund, resulting in loss. The fund’s use of derivatives (including futures, forward contracts and swap agreements) involves risks different from and possibly greater than those associated with investing directly in securities including leverage risk, counterparty default risk, tracking risk and liquidity. The price of equity security fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. Investments in ETFs may involve extra expenses and may not perform as expected and may not replicate the performance of the underlying index.

Fixed income securities could lose value due to interest rate changes. ADRs are subject to fluctuations in foreign currencies, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, security regulation, trading and taxation issues. The successful used of forward and futures contracts draws on the Adviser’s skill and experience in predicting market movement. Risks include imperfect correlation, illiquid secondary markets, unanticipated market movements, counterparty default, and potentially selling securities when disadvantageous to do so. The success of the fund’s hedging strategy is subject to the Advisor’s ability to correctly assess market performance and correlation of the instruments used in the hedging strategy and the investments in the portfolio.

The fund may trade more, incurring higher brokerage fees and tax liability to shareholders. Large Cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in consumer tastes. Small Cap and Mid-Cap companies may be volatile and vulnerable to adverse business or economic events. The fund is ‘non-diversified’ and changes in the value of a single security may have a significant effect on the fund’s value. The fund may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly over short periods. The value of REIT securities may be adversely affected by changes in the value of the underlying property the REIT holds. Short positions may be considered speculative and losses are potentially unlimited.
