changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s
ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are
greater for the Fund than most other mutual funds because the Fund will implement its investment strategy primarily through derivative instruments rather than direct investments in stocks and bonds.
Developing/Emerging Markets Securities Risk.
The prices of securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing/emerging markets countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction
costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed
countries.
Equity Risk
. Equity risk is the risk that the value of securities held by the Fund will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the Fund
participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Fund invests, either directly or through derivative instruments. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities held by
the Fund; the price of securities may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the securities held by the Fund. In addition, securities of an issuer in
the Fund's portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk.
An investment by the Fund in exchange-traded funds generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, an exchange-traded fund may be subject to the following: (1) a discount of the
exchange-traded fund’s shares to its net asset value; (2) failure to develop an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares; (3) the listing exchange halting trading of the exchange-traded fund’s shares; (4) failure
of the exchange-traded fund’s shares to track the referenced asset; and (5) holding troubled securities in the referenced index or basket of investments. Exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other
expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain of the exchange-traded funds in which the Fund may invest are leveraged. The more the Fund invests
in such leveraged exchange-traded funds, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.
Exchange-Traded Notes Risk.
Exchange-traded notes are subject to credit risk, including the credit risk of the issuer, and the value of the exchange-traded note may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit rating, despite the underlying
market benchmark or strategy remaining unchanged. The value of an exchange-traded note may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the exchange-traded note, volatility and lack of liquidity in the underlying market,
changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced underlying market or strategy. Exchange-traded notes are also subject to the risk
that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligations, which may cause losses or additional costs to the Fund.
Foreign Government Debt Risk.
Investments in foreign government debt obligations involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that
control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the defaulting government.
Without the approval
of debt holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been able
to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments.
Foreign Securities Risk.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country’s exchange rates, political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulties when enforcing
obligations, decreased liquidity, and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Interest Rate Risk.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their
individual characteristics, including duration. This risk may be magnified due to the Fund's use of derivatives that provide leveraged exposure to government bonds.
Liquidity Risk.
The
Fund may hold illiquid securities that it may be unable to sell at the preferred time or price and could lose its entire investment in such securities. The Fund's significant use of derivative instruments may cause liquidity risk to be greater than
other mutual funds that invest in more traditional assets such as stocks and bonds, which trade on markets with more market participants.
Management Risk.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results. Because the Fund's investment process relies heavily on its asset allocation process, market movements that are counter to
the portfolio managers’ expectations may have a significant adverse effect on the Fund's net asset value. Further, the portfolio managers’ use of short derivative positions and instruments that provide economic leverage increases the
volatility of the Fund's net asset value, which increases the potential of greater losses that may cause the Fund to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous to do so.
Market Risk.
The
prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate
fluctuations.
Non-Diversification Risk.
The Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in a small number of issuers or a single issuer. A change in the value of the issuer could affect the value of the Fund more than if it was a
diversified fund.
Subsidiary Risk.
By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940
Act), and, except as otherwise noted in this prospectus, is not subject to 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 the Subsidiary, respectively, are
organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus and the SAI, and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
U.S. Government Obligations Risk.
The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S.Government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund's ability to recover should they
default.
Volatility Risk.
The Fund may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause the Fund's net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value
over short periods of time.
