Strategy. The Alternative Energy Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly -traded equity securities of alternative energy companies (both U.S. and non -U .S.). The Fund will focus on a particular group of companies that the Adviser considers to be Sustainable Energy companies, which are companies that, in the Advisers view, generate, produce or provide alternative or renewable sources of energy (as compared to more traditional sources of energy that can be environmentally depletive, such as fossil fuels like oil or coal or other hydrocarbon -based fuels), or that produce, generate, transport, or deliver energy applications in a way that makes alternative or renewable energy more efficient or accessible or reduces … Show more… The Alternative Energy Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly -traded equity securities of alternative energy companies (both U.S. and non -U .S.). The Fund will focus on a particular group of companies that the Adviser considers to be Sustainable Energy companies, which are companies that, in the Advisers view, generate, produce or provide alternative or renewable sources of energy (as compared to more traditional sources of energy that can be environmentally depletive, such as fossil fuels like oil or coal or other hydrocarbon -based fuels), or that produce, generate, transport, or deliver energy applications in a way that makes alternative or renewable energy more efficient or accessible or reduces the use of environmentally depletive energy resources. The Fund will invest in alternative energy companies including companies that generate power through solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal wave, geothermal, biomass or biofuels and the various companies that provide the equipment and technologies that enable these sources to be tapped, used, stored or transported, including companies that create, facilitate or improve technologies that conserve or enable more efficient use of energy. The Fund will not change this policy unless it gives shareholders at least 60 days notice. In determining whether to buy or sell a portfolio position, the Adviser uses proprietary and independent research and applies traditional fundamental analysis to assess a companys business and business prospects, market capitalization, the valuation of the company, its dividend history, its ratio of debt to equity, as well as how the companys business relates to sustainable characteristics like growth or development of alternative or renewable energy. The Adviser conducts an independent assessment of each portfolio companys business. The Adviser categorizes the universe of companies it deems to be Sustainable Energy companies into four key areas related to the specific aspects of the energy business. Currently, these key areas are: Generation: companies involved in generating sustainable energy, either pure -play companies or companies working to transition from hydrocarbon -based fuels Installation: companies involved in manufacturing equipment for generation and consumption of sustainable energy Displacement: companies involved in the displacement or improved efficient usage of existing hydrocarbon -based energy Electrification: companies effectuating the switching from hydrocarbon -based fuel demand towards electricity or other renewal energy sources, especially for transportation The Fund holdings in each key area may vary and the Funds may invest in companies that do not fall within these key areas. The Fund holdings in each key area may vary and the Funds may invest in companies that do not fall within these key areas. Currently, the Adviser considers portfolio companies alignment with four of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy; Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities; and Goal 13: Climate Action. The Adviser may change these considerations at any time without notice to shareholders. Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. The Funds allocations may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria). The Fund may invest in companies economically tied to U.S. and to foreign countries, including, potentially, companies domiciled or traded in emerging markets, including China. For more information about how the Adviser determines that a company is economically tied to a foreign country, see More About The Funds Investment Strategies and Risks in this Prospectus. The Funds currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund will normally hold around 30 positions of approximately equal weight, but the portfolio may vary over time, and under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings, or may hold securities in 75 or more companies. The Fund will concentrate its investments (that is, invest more than 25% of its total assets) in the following group of industries: solar energy, wind energy, biofuels, hydrogen, geothermal energy, energy efficiency, and hydroelectricity. The Adviser will invest the Funds assets in securities of all market capitalization companies, but under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in companies with a minimum market capitalization of $500 million. Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. For temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Funds total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. The Fund is designed for investors who seek long -term capital appreciation through focused investment in equity securities of companies, wherever located, engaged in alternative or sustainable energy businesses.
