Fund Documents
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.
Correlation Risk. Because the Fund’s investment strategy seeks to
balance risk across three asset classes and, within each asset class, across
different countries and investments, to the extent either the asset classes or
the selected countries and investments become correlated in a way not
anticipated by the Adviser, the Fund’s risk allocation process may result in
magnified risks and loss instead of balancing (reducing) the risk of loss.
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. These risks are
greater for the Fund than most other mutual funds because the Fund will
implement its investment strategy primarily through derivative instruments
rather than direct investments in stocks/bonds.
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.
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.
Commodity Risk. The Fund may have investment exposure to the
commodities markets and/or a particular sector of the commodities
markets, which may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments
in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Volatility in the
commodities markets may be caused by changes in overall market
movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and
policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates
and/or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign
inflation rates, investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge
funds and commodities funds, and factors such as drought, floods, weather,
livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments or
supply and demand disruptions. Because the Fund’s performance may be
linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be
willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value
of the Fund’s shares.
Commodities Tax Risk. The tax treatment of commodity-linked
derivative instruments may be adversely affected by changes in legislation,
regulations or other legally binding authority. If, as a result of any such
adverse action, the income of the Fund from certain commodity-linked
derivatives was treated as non-qualifying income, the Fund might fail to
qualify as a regulated investment company and be subject to federal income
tax at the Fund level. As a result of an announcement by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS), the Fund intends to invest in commodity-linked
notes: (a) directly, relying on an opinion of counsel confirming that income
from such investments should be qualifying income because such
commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36) of the
1940 Act or (b) indirectly through the Subsidiary. Should the IRS issue
further guidance, or Congress enact legislation, that adversely affects the
tax treatment of the Fund’s use of commodity-linked notes or the Subsidiary
(which guidance might be applied to the Fund retroactively), it could, among
other consequences, limit the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment
strategy.
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.
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.
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.
LIBOR Transition Risk. The Fund may have investments in financial
instruments that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the
reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. LIBOR is
intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow
from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured basis.
Regulators and financial industry working groups in several jurisdictions
have worked over the past several years to identify alternative reference
rates (“ARRs”) to replace LIBOR and to assist with the transition to the new
ARRs. For example, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has identified the
Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the intended replacement to
USD LIBOR and foreign regulators have proposed other interbank offered
rates, such as the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) and other
replacement rates, which could also be adopted. Consequently, the
publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021, but a selection
of widely used USD LIBOR rates continues to be published until June 2023
to allow for an orderly transition away from these rates. Additionally, key
regulators have instructed banking institutions to cease entering into new
contracts that reference these USD LIBOR settings after December 31,
2021, subject to certain limited exceptions.
There remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR
transition and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund
invests. For example, there can be no assurance that the composition or
characteristics of any ARRs or financial instruments in which the Fund
invests that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the same value or
economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the
same volume or liquidity. Additionally, although regulators have generally
prohibited banking institutions from entering into new contracts that
reference those USD LIBOR settings that continue to exist, there remains
uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments
that were issued or entered into before December 31, 2021 and the
process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and
implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR is ultimately
discontinued. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD
LIBOR instruments held by the Fund could result in losses to the Fund.
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.
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.
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.
Exchange-Traded Notes Risk. Exchange-traded notes are subject to
credit risk, counterparty risk, and the risk that the value of the
exchange-traded note may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit
rating. The value of an exchange-traded note may also be influenced by
time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the exchange-traded note,
volatility and lack of liquidity in the underlying market, changes in the
applicable interest rates, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events
that affect the referenced underlying market or assets. The Fund will bear its
proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by an exchange-traded
note in which it invests. For certain exchange-traded notes, there may be
restrictions on the Fund’s right to redeem its investment, which is meant to
be held until maturity.
Factor-Based Strategy Risk. Although the Fund may have
investments that track equity indices that emphasize exposure to companies
associated with certain characteristics, known as style factors, there is no
guarantee that this strategy will be successful.
Quantitative Models Risk. Quantitative models are based upon
many factors that measure individual securities relative to each other.
Quantitative models may be highly reliant on the gathering, cleaning, culling
and analysis of large amounts of data from third parties and other external
sources. Any errors or imperfections in the factors, or the data on which
measurements of those factors are based, could adversely affect the use of
the quantitative models. The factors used in models may not identify
securities that perform well in the future, and the securities selected may
perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected
performance.
Volatility Risk. Certain of the Fund’s investments may appreciate or
decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause
the Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant increases or
declines in value over short periods of time.
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.
Money Market Fund Risk. Although money market funds generally
seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, the Fund
may lose money by investing in money market funds. A money market
fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the
money market fund. The credit quality of a money market fund’s holdings
can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding
could have an adverse impact on the money market fund’s share price. A
money market fund’s share price can also be negatively affected during
periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets and/or significant
market volatility.
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.
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. Because the Fund’s
investment process relies heavily on its asset allocation process, market
movements that are counter to the portfolio managers’ expectations may
have a significant adverse effect on the Fund’s net asset value. 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.
