Strategy. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily by investing in the equity securities of dividend-paying U.S. large-capitalization companies and selling call options on broad-based securities indices (including, without limitation, the S&P 500). The Fund may invest in the equity securities of companies of any size capitalization, although it expects to primarily invest in large-capitalization companies (companies with a market capitalization of $10 billion or more at the time of investment).

The Fund may invest in the equity securities of companies of any size capitalization, although it expects to primarily invest in large-capitalization companies (companies with a market capitalization of $10 billion or more at the time of investment). The Equity Premium Income Funds investment adviser (Horizon) Horizon employs a flexible approach that combines active management with quantitative models to allocate the Funds portfolio with the goal of generating attractive potential returns for a given amount of risk. The Fund may consider industry and position constraints to ensure sufficient diversification, as determined by Horizon, and may, depending on market conditions, focus its investments in particular sectors or areas of the economy. Under normal circumstances, the Equity Premium Income Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a combination of equity securities and investments that produce premium income. For purposes of this policy, equity securities means common and preferred stock, convertible debt securities, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), real estate investment trusts (REITs), derivative instruments that provide exposure to or are otherwise related to such securities, and shares of other investment companies (including ETFs) that invest primarily in equity securities. Dividend-Paying Securities. Horizon selects and weights securities using a process that emphasizes diversification across dividend-paying securities that Horizon believes offer the opportunity for attractive potential return. Dividend-paying securities include equity securities that have paid a dividend in the prior 12 calendar months, or that Horizon believes are reasonably likely to pay a dividend in the 12 calendar months following the Funds acquisition of the security. In selecting securities for the Funds portfolio, Horizon seeks to diversify across dividend-paying securities that exhibit characteristics such as high profitability and stable earnings, low price variability, low fundamental valuation measures, and positive price trends. These characteristics may be adjusted as economic, market, and financial conditions change. Options. The Equity Premium Income Fund seeks to generate additional cash flow, and may reduce volatility, through the sale of call options on broad-based securities indices (including, without limitation, the S&P 500). The Equity Premium Income Fund expects that, under normal circumstances, it will sell call options on a portion of the value of the Funds portfolio. As a seller of call options, the Equity Premium Income Fund will receive a premium (cash) from the purchaser of the option, in exchange for which the purchaser of the call option has the right to participate in the underlying indexs gains above the predetermined strike price until the option expires. If the option is exercised, the Fund, as the seller of the call option, must pay the difference between the price of the index and the strike price of the option. During periods where the U.S. equity market is relatively stable, falling, or slightly rising such that the option premiums received by the Fund exceed the appreciation of the index and the strike price, the strategy may outperform an otherwise similar strategy that does not generate additional income from options premiums. Alternatively, during periods of rising markets where gains in the underlying indices exceed the premiums received, the strategy would be expected to underperform an otherwise similar strategy with no option overlay. The Equity Premium Income Fund expects that the underlying portfolio of securities, together with the option overlay, should in the aggregate result in a portfolio with a modest defensive tilt as compared to the S&P 500, designed to outperform in flat to down markets, and expected to underperform in large positive markets. In addition to the sale of call options discussed above, the Equity Premium Income Fund may also buy or write put and call options on individual securities (including ETFs) or securities indices for investment purposes, to hedge other investments, or to generate additional option premiums for the Fund. The Equity Premium Income Funds options investments may involve covered positions where the Fund may write a call option on an underlying position to generate income. The Equity Premium Income Fund may involve a collateralized strategy more generally, where the Fund may write put options on a security whose value is collateralized by cash (cash-secured puts) or otherwise collateralized by the Funds securities. The Equity Premium Income Fund may also write options on individual securities that it does not hold in its portfolio (i.e., naked options), which have the potential for unlimited loss. The Equity Premium Income Funds option strategies may also involve options combinations, such as spreads, straddles and collars. In spread transactions, the Equity Premium Income Fund buys and writes a put or buys and writes a call on the same underlying instrument with the options having different strike prices, expiration dates, or both. When the Equity Premium Income Fund engages in spread transactions, it seeks to profit from differences in the option premiums paid and received and in the market prices of the related options positions when they are closed out or sold. In straddles, the Equity Premium Income purchases a put option and a call option or writes a put option and a call option on the same instrument with the same expiration date and the same strike price. A collar position combines a put option purchased by the Equity Premium Income (the right of the Equity Premium Income Fund to sell a specific security within a specified period) with a call option that is written by the Equity Premium Income Fund (the right of the counterparty to buy the same security) in a single instrument, and the Equity Premium Income Funds right to sell the security is typically set at a price that is below the counterpartys right to buy the security. Thus, the combined position collars the performance of the underlying security, providing protection from depreciation below the price specified in the put option, and allowing for participation in any appreciation up to the price specified by the call option. In each case, the premium received for writing an option offsets, in part, the premium paid to purchase the corresponding option; however, downside protection may be limited as compared to just owning a single option. There is no limit on the number or size of the options transactions in which the Equity Premium Income Fund may engage. The Equity Premium Income Fund will typically sell portfolio securities to seek to secure gains or limit potential losses when Horizon believes that other more favorable opportunities exist or when Horizon otherwise believes it is in the best interest of the Equity Premium Income Fund.
