Strategy. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets, defined as net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in long and/or short positions in investment grade bonds or fixed income securities (?80% investment policy?). For purposes of the 80% investment policy, the Fund defines bonds or fixed income securities as including (i) bills, (ii) notes, (iii) structured notes, (iv) bonds, (v) preferred stocks, (vi) any other debt or debt-related securities of any maturities, whether issued by U.S. or non-U.S. governments, agencies or instrumentalities thereof or corporate entities, and having fixed, variable, floating or inverse floating rates, (vii) fixed income derivatives including options, financial futures, options … Show more… In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets, defined as net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in long and/or short positions in investment grade bonds or fixed income securities (?80% investment policy?). For purposes of the 80% investment policy, the Fund defines bonds or fixed income securities as including (i) bills, (ii) notes, (iii) structured notes, (iv) bonds, (v) preferred stocks, (vi) any other debt or debt-related securities of any maturities, whether issued by U.S. or non-U.S. governments, agencies or instrumentalities thereof or corporate entities, and having fixed, variable, floating or inverse floating rates, (vii) fixed income derivatives including options, financial futures, options on futures and swaps, and (viii) underlying funds (defined below) that invest primarily in fixed income securities, or (ix) other evidences of indebtedness. The Fund will invest primarily in investment grade bonds, rated by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) as investment grade, at the time of purchase. From time to time, the Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets directly or have exposure to high yield bonds (?junk bonds?) that are rated as below investment grade. The Fund may invest in underlying funds such as mutual funds (including money market funds), exchange traded funds (?ETFs?) and inverse ETFs (collectively, ?Underlying Funds?). The Fund may also purchase or write (sell) credit default swaps (?CDS?) or credit default swap indexes (?CDX?), which are credit derivatives used to hedge credit risk and/or take a position on a basket of credit entities. Unlike a credit default swap, which is an over the counter derivative, a CDX may be exchange traded, or sold over the counter. Each CDX is designed to track a basket of credit entities, which may be standard or customized. This means that it may be more liquid than a credit default swap, and it may be more efficient to hedge the Fund?s portfolio with a CDX than it would be to buy many single name credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. The Fund may also purchase or sell total return swaps or invest in inverse ETFs to hedge its long positions. The Fund?s investment strategy is primarily driven by a modeling process which measures the relative strength or momentum of various asset classes against one another. Specifically, using this momentum-based strategy, the Fund will tactically shift its asset class exposure across investment grade securities, intermediate to long-term Treasuries, and T bills and cash. That analysis assists the adviser to determine the preferred asset class, which in turn drives the underlying investment exposure. Under normal conditions, the Fund expects to invest in fixed income securities and derivatives. When the investment grade asset class is favored, the Fund will seek exposure to investment grade securities. When the treasury asset class is favored, the Fund will normally sell and/or hedge the Fund?s investment grade exposure by short-selling common stocks, entering into puts or put spreads on individual stocks, equity indices, and/or futures, selected to replicate the credit component of investment grade corporate bonds and increase the Fund?s exposure to Treasuries through bonds, notes, and money market funds which invest primarily in T-bills and/or ETFs. When the cash asset class is favored, the Fund will normally sell and/or hedge its investment grade security and/or treasury exposure and increase the Fund?s exposure to cash equivalents through securities and derivatives. The Fund may also use swaps or credit default swaps on individual securities or equity and fixed income indices for hedging purposes. The Fund may invest in affiliated mutual funds, and nonaffiliated mutual funds (including money market funds), exchange traded funds (?ETFs?) and inverse ETFs (collectively, ?Underlying Funds?). Due to the structure of the derivatives the Fund expects to use, the Fund will hold a portion of its assets in highly liquid securities as collateral for its derivatives transactions and still have excess cash to invest regardless of whether the favored asset class is investment grade securities, intermediate to long-term treasuries and T-Bills or cash (or a combination of these asset classes). The Fund will normally invest this excess cash in a mix of investment grade corporate bonds, treasury bills and notes, municipal bonds and other instruments for diversification, risk management, and to seek to obtain additional return. As a result, when the investment grade security asset class is favored, a portion of the Fund?s assets may be invested in non-investment grade investments. Similarly, when the treasury asset class is favored, the Fund may hold a portion of its assets in non-treasury investments, and when the cash asset class is favored, the Fund may hold a portion of its assets in non-cash investments. The Adviser may engage in frequent buying and selling of securities to achieve the Fund?s investment objective. Show less
