About risk
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund
can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks
of investing in the Fund are:
Market Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and
therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or
section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of
the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market
conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as
real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general
outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency
rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters,
widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts
of terrorism, economic crisis or adverse investor sentiment generally. During
a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may
decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance
that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. In addition to the risks associated
with the underlying assets held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in
exchange-traded funds are subject to the following additional risks: (1) an
exchange-traded fund’s shares may trade above or below its net asset
value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares
may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded fund’s
shares may be halted by the listing exchange; (4) a passively managed
exchange-traded fund may not track the performance of the reference
asset; and (5) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may hold
troubled securities. Investment in exchange-traded funds may involve
duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund
indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the
exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded
funds in which the Fund may invest are leveraged, which may result in
economic leverage, permitting the Fund to gain exposure that is greater
than would be the case in an unlevered instrument and potentially resulting
in greater volatility.
Asset Allocation Risk. Because the Fund typically invests in a
combination of securities, the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment
objective depends largely upon selecting the best mix of investments. There
is the risk that the portfolio managers’ evaluations and assumptions
regarding market conditions may be incorrect. During periods of rapidly
rising stock prices, the Fund might not achieve growth in its share prices to
the same degree as funds focusing only on stocks. The Fund’s investments
in stocks may make it more difficult to preserve principal during periods of
stock market volatility. The Fund’s use of a particular investment style might
not be successful when that style is out of favor and the Fund’s
performance may be adversely affected by the asset allocation decisions.
Investing in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience
significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse
events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have
unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock
markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets
may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same
direction at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up
and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of
investments, such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the
price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include, but are not
limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the
company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or
industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its
industry. To the extent that securities of a particular type are emphasized (for
example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or
value stocks, or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share
values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Sector Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant
amount of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related
industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater
extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there
is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions
adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in
securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk
than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be
more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no
operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited
product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer
financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may
be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies.
They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings
expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements.
Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many
instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange,
where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is
typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities
exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject
to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of
its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Since small-
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings
in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if
they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize
a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is
realized at all.
Investment Companies Risk. Investing in other investment
companies could result in the duplication of certain fees, including
management and administrative fees, and may expose the Fund to the risks
of owning the underlying investments that the other investment company
holds.
Debt Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the
issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically
causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater
impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities.
Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt
securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling
interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because
interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will
decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the
issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments
and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial
strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of
the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The
Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could
result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a
debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases in the
federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary
policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened
volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments,
particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of
interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed
income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to
heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a
result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline.
Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal
redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s
portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
High Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high
yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will
subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered
to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and
principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market
value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of
high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be
adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or
taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or
increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible
seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in
which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and
the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange
controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent
regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements
and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more
susceptible to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information
available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult
to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its
foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of
negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of
securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments
through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in
value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short
periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always
successful.
Emerging Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred
to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility,
political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more
governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed
markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets may be
subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than
companies in more developed markets. Such countries’ economies may be
more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly
vulnerable to local and global changes. Companies in emerging market
countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure,
financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than
companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including
financial information, about such companies may be less available and
reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies.
Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many
emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably, and the
ability to bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory
taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on
foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets
from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share
blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such
actions, may be limited. In addition, the ability of foreign entities to
participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging
market countries may be limited by local law. Investments in emerging
market securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in
settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely
information.
European Investment Risk. The Economic and Monetary Union of
the European Union (the “EU”) requires compliance with restrictions on
inflation rates, deficits, interest rates, debt levels and fiscal and monetary
controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in Europe.
Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations
on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of
default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and recessions in
an EU member country may have a significant adverse effect on the
economies of EU member countries. Responses to financial problems by EU
countries may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and
economic recovery, or may result in social unrest or have other unintended
consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other
entities of their debt could have additional adverse effects on economies,
financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. A number of
countries in Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped and can be
particularly sensitive to political and economic developments. Separately, the
EU faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and
policies. The exit of one or more member states from the EU, such as the
recent departure of the United Kingdom (known as “Brexit”), would place its
currency and banking system in jeopardy. The exit by the United Kingdom or
other member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and
potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which will
adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
U.S. Government Obligations Risk. Obligations of U.S. Government
agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could
affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be
given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies
and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
Foreign Government Debt Risk. Investments in foreign government
debt securities (sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve
certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt
securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities
that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay
principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt,
and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the
defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some
governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or
restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments.
Alternative Investment Strategies Risk. The Fund utilizes
alternative investment strategies, which are strategies that the portfolio
manager expects to result in investment performance that does not
correlate with the performance of traditional asset classes, such as equity
and fixed-income investments. The Fund also seeks to utilize a diverse mix
of alternative investment strategies, in the hope that individual strategies
yield low performance correlation to other alternative investment strategies
used by the Fund. However, alternative investments may be more volatile or
illiquid, particularly during periods of market instability, and the Fund cannot
guarantee that diverse alternative investment strategies will yield
uncorrelated performance under all market conditions. In addition, the
particular mix of alternative investments in the Fund’s portfolio may not be
sufficiently diversified. The Fund is subject to the risk that its alternative
investments may undergo a correlation shift, resulting in returns that are
correlated with the broader market and/or with the Fund’s other alternative
investments.
Derivatives Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency,
commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the
use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including
counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that
the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay
the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative
contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require
payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a
position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the
underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is
substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the
anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s
returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments
may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may
be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or
price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during
which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions.
Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to
changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use
certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be
successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit
exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected
benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Commodity-Linked Notes Risk. In addition to risks associated with
the underlying commodities, investments in commodity-linked notes may be
subject to additional risks, such as non-payment of interest and loss of
principal, counterparty risk, lack of a secondary market and risk of greater
volatility than traditional equity and debt securities. The value of the
commodity-linked notes the Fund buys may fluctuate significantly because
the values of the underlying investments to which they are linked are
themselves volatile. Additionally, certain commodity-linked notes employ
“economic” leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that
is a multiple of the price increase or decrease of the underlying commodity,
commodity index, or other economic variable. Such economic leverage will
increase the volatility of the value of these commodity-linked notes and the
Fund to the extent it invests in such notes.
Subsidiary Risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly
exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The
Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (1940 Act), and, except as otherwise noted in this prospectus, is
not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws
of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and
the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the
Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus and
the SAI, and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
Short Position Risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short
position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund
will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the
price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The
counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the
Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may
reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the
Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall
market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both
long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the
short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of
the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage,
which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of
the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns.
REIT Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related
instruments may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural,
environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or
occupancies. Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be
small- and mid-cap companies, may be more volatile and less liquid than
larger companies. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types
of debt obligations held by the Fund, the Fund may acquire real estate
directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities;
difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory
changes.
Investments in Mining, Minerals and Metal Industry Securities
Risk. Investments in mining, minerals and metal industry companies may
be speculative and may be subject to greater price volatility than
investments in other types of companies. The special risks of mining,
minerals and metal industry investments include:
- changes in international monetary policies or economic and political conditions can affect the supply of gold and precious metals and consequently the value of mining, minerals and metal company investments;
- the United States or foreign governments may pass laws or regulations limiting metal investments for strategic or other policy reasons;
- the principal supplies of gold are concentrated in the following countries or territories, including but not limited to China, Australia, Russia and certain other former Soviet Union countries, Canada, the United States and South Africa, the governments of which may pass laws or regulations limiting metal investments for strategic or other policy reasons; and
- increased environmental or labor costs may depress the value of mining, minerals and metal investments.
Event-Linked Securities Risk. Event-linked securities (including “catastrophe” bonds and other insurance-linked securities) are fixed income securities for which the return of principal and payment of interest is contingent on the non-occurrence of a trigger event, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or other catastrophe or series of catastrophe events that leads to physical or economic loss(es). If the trigger event occurs prior to maturity, the Fund may lose all or a portion of its principal and additional interest. Event-linked securities may expose the Fund to certain other risks, including issuer default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations, liquidity risk and adverse tax consequences.
Rule 144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk. The market for Rule 144A and other securities exempt from certain registration requirements typically is less active than the market for publicly-traded securities. Rule 144A and other exempt securities, which are also known as privately issued securities, carry the risk that their liquidity may become impaired and the Fund may be unable to dispose of the securities at a desirable time or price.
Active Trading Risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.
Financial Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
