The adviser utilizes rules-based, quantitative methodology to determine which Underlying ETF to invest the Funds assets in. The advisers quantitative methodology considers exponential averages (measurement of trend directions over a specific time period or data set), price discovery data (process by which buyers and sellers interact to determine the fair market price of an asset or a new established price), volatility, and probability when determining to buy, sell, or hold a security. The advisers methodology identifies three types of trends: (1) positive, (2) negative, or (3) neutral. A positive trend occurs when the exponential average increases. When the advisers methodology signals a positive trend, the adviser will invest the Funds assets in an Underlying ETF that seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index. A neutral trend occurs when either an existing positive or negative signal changes or a stop-loss is triggered. When the advisers methodology signals a neutral trend, the adviser will invest the Funds assets in Short Term U.S. Treasury ETFs. A negative trend occurs when the exponential average decreases or a stop-loss is triggered. When the advisers methodology signals a negative trend, the adviser will invest the Funds assets in an Underlying ETF that seeks to provide the inverse daily return of the S&P 500 Index. The adviser will sell an Underlying ETF when the Underlying ETFs net asset value increases/decreases three percent from its purchase price (stop-loss). A stop-loss is an order placed with a broker to buy/sell a specific security once the security reaches a certain price. A stop-loss is designed to limit an investors loss on a security.
