A yield curve is a line that plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates. Earnings Growth is the annual compound annual growth rate of earnings from investments. Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) are payments made for goods or services that are recorded on a company’s balance sheet instead of expensed on the income statement.Free cash flow is earnings before depreciation, amortization, and non-cash charges minus maintenance capital expenditures. Price to sales ratio is a tool for calculating a stock’s valuation relative to other companies. It is calculated by dividing a stock’s current price by its revenue per share. Price-to-cash flow (P/CF) is a valuation multiple that compares a company’s its stock price per share to operating cash flow per share. The S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of 500 widely held common stocks. The 30-Day SEC yield is based on dividends accrued by the Fund’s investments over a 30-Day period, and not on the dividends paid by the fund, which may differ and are subject to change. Enterprise Value to Earnings Before Income, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EV/EBITDA) is the enterprise multiple and is used to determine the value of a company. Price to earnings is the market price per share divided by earnings per share.
Investors cannot invest directly in an index and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The Fund’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the Index. To the extent the Fund’s investments are concentrated in or have significant exposure to a particular issuer, industry or group of industries, or asset class, the Fund may be more vulnerable to adverse events affecting such issuer, industry or group of industries, or asset class than if the Fund’s investments were more broadly diversified. Issuer-specific events, including changes in the financial condition of an issuer, can have a negative impact on the value of the Fund.
The Fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small and medium capitalization companies. Small and medium cap companies may fall out of favor with investors; may have limited product lines, operating histories, markets or financial resources; or may be dependent upon a limited management group.
The prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies generally are more volatile than those of large capitalization companies. Diversification cannot assure a profit or protect against loss in a down market.
MVPL PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES: When the Fund is in a leveraged position, the Fund invests in Leveraged ETFs that seek daily leveraged exposure equal to 200% of the S&P 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index” or the “Index”). As a result, when the Fund is in a leveraged position, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the objective of the Leveraged ETFs in which the Fund invests is to magnify the daily performance of the Index.
When the Fund is in a leveraged position, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of the Leveraged ETFs’ return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund expects that it will be invested in a Leveraged ETF for periods greater than one day when the Adviser’s trading signals so indicate. As a result, the Fund will be subject to the risks of compounding that affect investments in Leveraged ETFs, and the Fund’s returns during such a period are consequently expected to differ from 200% of the daily return of the Leveraged ETF.
For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Underlying ETF’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the value of the Index rises. This effect can be magnified in volatile markets. Consequently, these investment vehicles may be extremely volatile and can potentially expose the Fund to complete loss of its investment. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of the Index, and leveraged exposure each increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods in which the Index experiences higher volatility, that volatility may affect the Leveraged ETFs’ returns, and the Fund’s return as a result, as much as or more than the return of the Index. Although the Fund, when in a leveraged position, invests in Leveraged ETFs that seek daily leveraged exposure equal to 200% of the Index, the Fund does not target a specific level of leverage over any time period that is more than a single day. Rather, the Fund opportunistically uses leverage in seeking to achieve its objective of capital appreciation over a multi-year horizon. On a daily basis, Investors may check the Fund’s holdings on this website to see whether the Fund is in a leveraged or unleveraged position.
Mutual funds, equities, bonds, and other asset classes have different risk profiles, which should be considered when investing. Investors cannot directly invest in an index. ETFs that the Fund may invest in are subject to market, economic, and business risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate. Shareholders will pay higher expenses than would be the case if making direct investments in the underlying ETFs. Because the Fund invests in ETFs, it is subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares.
Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. REITs are subject to illiquidity, credit and interest rate risks, and risks associated with small and mid-cap investments. Asset-backed, mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks. Investments in MLP securities are subject to unique risks, including the risks of MLPs and the energy sector, including the risks of declines in energy and commodity prices, decreases in energy demand, adverse weather conditions, natural or other disasters, changes in government regulation, and changes in tax laws.
A new or smaller fund is subject to the risk that its performance may not represent how the fund is expected to or may perform in the long term. In addition, new funds have limited operating histories for investors to evaluate and new and smaller funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies.
