Investment objective & strategy
As of Dec. 29, 2025 · prospectusObjective. Investment Objective: The Fund seeks to provide current income that is exempt from federal personal income tax.
Strategy. The Fund is a diversified multi-strategy fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily by implementing a market-based factor approach to fixed income that the Funds investment adviser, Symmetry, believes has the potential to produce positive returns before fees over time. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will, directly or indirectly, invest at least 80% of its assets in, or derive at least 80% of its income from, securities that are exempt from regular federal income tax and may subject the investors to alternative minimum tax. The Fund may invest in securities and other instruments either directly or by investing in shares of registered, open-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (collectively, Underlying Funds). The Fund will invest in long-term, … The Fund is a diversified multi-strategy fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily by implementing a market-based factor approach to fixed income that the Funds investment adviser, Symmetry, believes has the potential to produce positive returns before fees over time. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will, directly or indirectly, invest at least 80% of its assets in, or derive at least 80% of its income from, securities that are exempt from regular federal income tax and may subject the investors to alternative minimum tax. The Fund may invest in securities and other instruments either directly or by investing in shares of registered, open-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (collectively, Underlying Funds). The Fund will invest in long-term, intermediate and short-term municipal bonds. The Fund may also invest in short-term municipal money market fund securities. The Fund also may invest in obligations of the U.S. government and of U.S. government agencies. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in high-yield (lower rated) municipal debt instruments, which may be investment grade or below investment grade (also known as junk bonds, which are considered speculative). The Fund does not seek to maintain any particular weighted average maturity or duration, and may invest in fixed income instruments of any maturity or duration. Certain Underlying Funds also may engage in strategies that require heightened turnover, and the Adviser may not consider portfolio turnover a limiting factor in making decisions for the Fund. The Adviser seeks to manage a multi-factor fund that provides exposure to different managers that in the Advisers view are best able to deliver certain factor exposures as identified by the Adviser. The Adviser will generally access these investment managers either through Underlying Funds, or through a direct sub-advisory relationship with an investment manager. The Adviser will make a determination for each investment manager as to which type of access it believes is most advantageous to the Fund, and will make changes at its discretion. The Adviser may look for Underlying Funds or sub-advisory mandates that will feature characteristics associated with investment style factors that have been identified in certain academic research papers and that, although there is no guarantee of future results, the Adviser has identified as having historically shown the potential to deliver greater returns over time. Under normal market conditions, the Adviser expects to invest in the securities of Underlying Funds selected based on having characteristics associated with factors targeted by the Adviser. Such factors may include consideration to credit risk, interest rate risk, and other factors that, in the opinion of the Adviser, are appropriate for achieving the Funds investment objective. The Fund will diversify its investments by investing in Underlying Funds that focus on different factors in the fixed income securities market. The Adviser manages the allocation with a goal of prudently capturing returns of the municipal markets, which the Adviser expects will have low sensitivity to returns of the U.S. stock market. There is no limit in the number of Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest, and the Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in one Underlying Fund. The Adviser sets an overall asset allocation within the municipal bond market based on long-term strategic considerations and monitors this allocation on an ongoing basis. The Adviser will periodically rebalance the portfolio and may change managers and/or exposures over time based on its evolving investment views amid changing market and economic conditions. Periodically, the Funds Adviser will review certain factors in each Underlying Fund and may add or remove Underlying Funds without notice to shareholders. The Adviser may also temporarily over or under-weight certain exposures for tax management purposes, which may include selling Fund investments to offset gains. To the extent that this activity causes the Fund to deviate from its typical exposures, it may not meet its investment objective. The Adviser may also temporarily alter its investments if market, economic or other signals warrant doing so in the view of the Adviser. The Trust and the Adviser were granted an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that permits Symmetry, subject to certain conditions, and without the approval of shareholders, to hire and terminate sub-advisers (Sub-Advisers). At this time, there are no sub-advisers to the Fund. The Adviser may add sub-advisers at its discretion. With respect to any portion of assets managed directly by a sub-adviser, the Fund utilizes a multi-manager approach whereby the Funds assets will be allocated to one or more sub-advisers, in percentages determined at the discretion of the Adviser. Each sub-adviser acts independently from the others and utilizes its own distinct investment style in investing in selecting securities. However, each sub-adviser must operate within the constraints of the Funds investment objective, strategies and restrictions. The Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests may also use a variety of derivative instruments, including futures and option contracts and swaps. Underlying index-based ETFs may use derivatives, including futures contracts, options on futures contracts, options and swaps to help the ETF track its underlying index. In addition, the Fund also may invest directly in derivatives, including but not limited to futures contracts and options on futures contracts, to adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Fund. The Adviser has engaged Vident Asset Management (Vident) to serve as a trading sub-adviser for the Fund. Vident is responsible for trading portfolio securities for the Fund, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions or in connection with any rebalancing or reconstitution of the portfolio, as well as performing pre- and post-trade compliance and monitoring trading activity for the Fund, all subject to the oversight of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees.
