The Nasdaq-100 Index is a market-capitalization weighted index comprised of 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial companies (based on relative market-capitalization) listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Nasdaq-100 Index reflects companies across major industry groups but is heavily concentrated in the technology industry. Risk Management Strategy : The Funds Risk Management Strategy will primarily consist of establishing collars, which involve combining a written call option or call spread with a purchased put option or put spread on the same underlying security. To implement an options collar, the Fund will typically write a call option or call spread on the underlying security with a strike price above the current price of the underlying security and purchase a corresponding put option or put spread on the same underlying security with a strike price below the current price of that security. The written call option or call spread is designed to generate premium income, while the purchased put option or put spread provides downside protection against declines in the underlying security. A call or put spread involves buying one option and simultaneously writing another option on the same underlying security with the same expiration date but a different strike price. In the case of a call spread, the Fund purchases a call option with a lower strike price and writes a call option with a higher strike price. In the case of a put spread, the Fund purchases a put option with a higher strike price and writes a put option with a lower strike price. These spreads are designed to reduce the overall cost of implementing the collar strategy while still providing income generation and downside protection. The Fund may utilize these collar strategies across various maturities to manage risk over different time horizons. In some instances, the call options or call spreads may differ in expiration dates from the put options or put spreads. as part of a more flexible approach to risk management. By layering collars with different expiration dates, the Fund seeks to maintain continuous protection against significant market declines while also benefiting from premium income generated by the written options. Horizon will dynamically adjust the Funds options positions to reflect changes in Horizons assessment of market conditions and the Advisers outlook for the Nasdaq-100 Index. This may include modifying the strike prices, expiration dates, or spreads used in the collar strategy to maintain an appropriate balance between growth potential and downside protection. The Funds use of options may result in frequent trading activity as Horizon actively manages the portfolio to seek to achieve the Funds investment objective. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes, in options on the Nasdaq-100 Index and/or other securities that constitute the Nasdaq-100 Index. For the purpose of this 80% policy, securities that constitute the Nasdaq-100 Index include the common stock of companies comprising the Nasdaq-100 Index, ETFs and exchange traded notes (ETNs) that track the Nasdaq-100 Index, and options on the Nasdaq-100 Index. The Fund considers its investment in derivatives when determining its compliance with this policy. The Fund may engage in frequent trading to achieve its objective. The Fund will concentrate (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of identified industries to approximately the same extent that the Nasdaq-100 Index concentrates in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries. As of the date of this Prospectus, a significant portion the Nasdaq-100 Index was represented by securities of companies in the technology sector. The degree to which components of the Nasdaq-100 Index represent certain sectors or industries may change over time.
