Investment objective & strategy

As of Oct. 22, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Fund seeks current income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.

Strategy. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek current income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by (1) creating an actively managed portfolio of equity securities comprised significantly of those included in the Funds primary benchmark, the Nasdaq-100 Index (the Benchmark), and (2) through equity-linked notes (ELNs), selling call options with exposure to the Benchmark. The resulting Fund is designed to provide investors with performance that captures a majority of the returns associated with the Benchmark, while exposing investors to lower volatility than the Benchmark and also providing incremental income. The Fund is managed in a way that seeks, under normal circumstances, to provide monthly distributions at a relatively stable level. Under … The investment objective of the Fund is to seek current income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by (1) creating an actively managed portfolio of equity securities comprised significantly of those included in the Funds primary benchmark, the Nasdaq-100 Index (the Benchmark), and (2) through equity-linked notes (ELNs), selling call options with exposure to the Benchmark. The resulting Fund is designed to provide investors with performance that captures a majority of the returns associated with the Benchmark, while exposing investors to lower volatility than the Benchmark and also providing incremental income. The Fund is managed in a way that seeks, under normal circumstances, to provide monthly distributions at a relatively stable level. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities (80% Policy). Assets means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. In calculating the 80% Policy, the Funds equity investments will include common stocks and ELNs, as well as other equity securities. In implementing the Funds strategy, the Fund invests significantly in the equity securities of companies included in the Benchmark (which includes both large cap and mid cap companies). The Fund may also invest in other equity securities not included in the Benchmark. The Fund may receive income to the extent it invests in equity securities of companies that pay dividends; however, securities are not selected based on anticipated dividend payments. Currently, many of the equity securities in the Funds portfolio will be technology companies or companies that rely heavily on technological advances. The Fund seeks a lower volatility level than the Benchmark. Volatility is one way to measure risk and refers to the variability of the Funds or the markets returns. If the Fund is successful in providing lower volatility, then the value of the Funds portfolio will fluctuate less than the Benchmark over a full market cycle (typically, a 3-5 year time horizon). In order to generate income, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in ELNs. ELNs are structured as notes that are issued by counterparties, including banks, broker-dealers or their affiliates, and that are designed to offer a return linked to the underlying instruments within the ELN. ELNs in which the Fund invests are derivative instruments that are specially designed to combine the economic characteristics of the Benchmark and written call options in a single note form and are not traded on an exchange. The options underlying the ELNs will be based on the Benchmark or on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that replicate the Benchmark. Selling a call option entitles the seller to a premium equal to the value of the option at the time of trade. The ELNs owned by the Fund are structured to use a covered call strategy and have short call positions embedded within them. When the Fund purchases the ELN from the issuing counterparty, the Fund is entitled to the premium generated by the short call position within the ELN. Therefore, the ELNs provide recurring cash flow to the Fund based on the premiums received from selling the call options and are an important source of the Funds return. When the Fund sells call options within an ELN, it receives a premium but limits its opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of either the underlying Benchmark or ETF to the exercise price (plus the premium received). The maximum potential gain on an underlying instrument will be equal to the difference between the exercise price and the purchase price of the underlying Benchmark or ETF at the time the option is written, plus the premium received. Investing in ELNs may also reduce the Funds volatility because the income from the ELNs would reduce potential losses incurred by the Funds equity portfolio. The ELNs are reset periodically to seek to better capitalize on current market conditions and opportunities; these resets assist the Fund in seeking to provide relatively stable returns. The Fund invests in a non-diversified portfolio of securities. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in the securities of companies conducting their principal business activities in the same industry, except that, to the extent that an industry represents 20% or more of the Funds benchmark at the time of investment, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in that industry. Investment Process: In managing the equity portion of the Funds portfolio, the adviser employs a fundamental data science enabled investment approach that combines research, data insights, and risk management. The adviser defines data science as the discipline of extracting useful insights from collections of information, and the adviser utilizes the insights as a part of its investment process. The adviser also utilizes proprietary techniques to process, analyze, and combine a wide variety of data sources, including the advisers multi-decade history of proprietary fundamental research, company financial statements, and a variety of other data sources that the adviser finds relevant to conducting fundamental analysis. The adviser combines insights derived from these sources to forecast the financial prospects of each security, also known as fundamental analysis. Alongside its own insights, the Funds portfolio management team uses the forecasts developed through data science techniques to help to identify securities with attractive valuations that are priced favorably relative to their associated levels of risk. The Funds portfolio management team then constructs a portfolio that seeks to maximize expected future financial performance while controlling for key risks to the underlying companies businesses identified by the advisers analysis. The adviser assesses key risks by analyzing potential events or conditions that may have a negative impact on the advisers valuation of a particular security. Such key risks may include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in macroeconomic conditions, competitive risks from existing companies or new entrants, and operational risks related to the companies business models. The adviser regularly evaluates the efficacy of the sources of information included within the investment process, and seeks to identify new data sources that will be additive to the advisers forecasts and portfolio construction, assessing the validity of its models and assumptions as new information becomes available and market conditions change. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The advisers assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Funds investments in securities and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the companys fundaments or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued relative to its associated levels of risk. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity. The Funds investment strategies may involve active and frequent trading resulting in high portfolio turnover.
