DYNAMIC GROWTH FUND

Risk Definitions

Principal Investment Risks: As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the Fund’s Net Asset Value and performance. The following risks apply to the Fund directly and indirectly through the Fund’s investment in ETFs and mutual funds.

  • Management Risk: The Adviser’s reliance on its Dynamic Growth Model, its strategies and judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular assets may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.
  • Equity Risk: The NAV of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the equity securities (common and preferred stocks) in which it invests. Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions. Preferred stocks typically decline in value when interest rates rise. Preferred stocks are also subject to credit risk because of the possibility that an issuer fail to make its preferred stock dividend payments.
  • ETF Risk: ETFs are subject to investment advisory or management and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in ETFs and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. ETFs are listed on national stock exchanges and are traded like stocks listed on an exchange. ETF shares may trade at a discount or a premium in market price if there is a limited market in such shares. ETFs are also subject to brokerage and/or other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund. Because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Sub-Adviser may not be able to liquidate the Fund’s holdings at the most optimal time, adversely affecting performance.
  • Interest Rate Risk: Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of bonds. Current conditions may result in a rise in interest rates, which in turn may result in a decline in the value of the fixed income investments held by the Fund. As a result, interest rate risk may be heightened.
  • Limited History of Operations Risk: The Fund has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate. The Fund may fail to attract sufficient assets to operate efficiently.
  • Market Risk: Overall investment market risks affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the U.S. and international investment markets. Additionally, unexpected local, regional or global events, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)); and recessions and depressions could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and may impair market liquidity. Such events can cause investor fear, which can adversely affect the economies of nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen.
  • Mutual Fund Risk: Investments in mutual funds involve duplication of investment advisory fees and certain other expenses. Each mutual fund is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of its investment strategy. The manager of a mutual fund may not be successful in implementing its strategy.
  • Non-Diversification Risk: As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers. The Fund also invests in ETFs and mutual funds that are non-diversified. The Fund’s performance may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified investment company.
  • Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Investing in the securities of small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risks and the possibility of greater price volatility than investing in larger capitalization and more-established companies. Investments in mid-cap companies involve less risk than investing in small-cap companies. Smaller companies may have limited operating history, product lines, and financial resources, and the securities of these companies may lack sufficient market liquidity. mid-cap companies often have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial resources than larger, more established companies.
  • Turnover Risk: A higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage costs. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is expected to be above 100% annually.
