Example: This
Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with
the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time
periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those
periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year
and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon
these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys
and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio
turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes
when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the
Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 74% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies:
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment
objectives by allocating its assets using two principal strategies:
•“Managed
Futures” Strategy
•“Fixed
Income” Strategy
The
Managed Futures strategy is designed to produce capital appreciation by
capturing returns related to the commodity and financial markets by investing
long or short in: (i) futures, (ii) forwards, (iii) options, (iv) spot
contracts, or (v) swaps, each of which may be tied to (a) currencies, (b)
interest rates, (c) stock market indices, (d) energy resources, (e) metals or
(f) agricultural products. These derivative instruments are used as substitutes
for securities, interest rates, currencies and commodities and for hedging. The
Fund may also invest in cash-settled Bitcoin and/or Ether futures contracts
traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME"). The Fund will allocate less
than 5% of Fund assets in these digital asset futures (also referred to as
crypto futures). To the extent the Fund uses swaps or structured notes under the
Managed Futures strategy, the investments will generally have payments linked to
commodity or financial derivatives. The Fund does not invest more than 25% of
its assets in contracts with any one counterparty. Managed futures
sub-strategies may include investment styles that rely upon buy and sell signals
generated from technical analysis systems such as trend-pattern recognition, as
well as from fundamental economic analysis and relative value comparisons.
Managed Futures strategy investments will be made without restriction as to
country.
The
Fund will execute its Managed Futures strategy primarily by directly investing
by the Fund or by investing up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time
of purchase) in a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). The
Fund and the Subsidiary will invest primarily in futures, forwards, options,
spot contracts, swaps, and other assets intended to serve as margin or
collateral for derivative positions. The Subsidiary is subject to the same
investment restrictions as the Fund.
The
Fund’s Adviser may delegate management of the Fund’s Managed Futures Strategy to
one or more sub-advisers.
The Adviser
anticipates that, based upon its analysis of long-term historical returns and
volatility of various asset classes, the Fund will allocate approximately 25% of
its assets to the Managed Futures strategy and approximately 75% of its assets
to the Fixed Income strategy. However, as market conditions change the portion
allocated may be higher or lower.
The
Fixed Income strategy is designed to generate interest income and preserve
principal by investing primarily in investment grade securities including: (1)
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities, (2) securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments,
their political subdivisions or agencies or instrumentalities, (3) bonds, notes,
or similar debt obligations issued by U.S. or foreign corporations or
special-purpose entities backed by corporate debt obligations, (4) U.S.
asset-backed securities (“ABS”), (5) U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities
(“MBS”), (6) U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), (7) interest
rate-related futures contracts, (8) interest rate-related or credit
default-related swap contracts and (9) money market funds. The Fund defines
investment grade fixed income securities as those that are rated, at the time
purchased, in the top four categories by a rating agency such as Moody’s
Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
(“S&P”), or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality. However,
the fixed income portion of the Fund’s portfolio will be invested without
restriction as to individual issuer country, type of entity, or capitalization
Futures and swap contracts are used for hedging purposes and as substitutes for
fixed income securities. The Fund’s Adviser delegates management of the Fund’s
Fixed Income strategy portfolio to a sub-adviser.
The
Fund seeks to achieve its secondary investment objective primarily by (1)
diversifying the Managed Futures strategy investments among asset classes and
sub-strategies that are not expected to have returns that are highly correlated
to each other or the equity markets and (2) by selecting Fixed Income strategy
investments that are short-term to medium-term interest income-generating
securities (those with maturities or average lives of less than 10 years) that
are expected to be less volatile than the equity
markets
in general and that are not expected to have returns that are highly correlated
to the equity markets or the Managed Futures strategy.
The
Adviser, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Fund and other Funds it
advises or may advise in the future that are each a series of LoCorr Investment
Trust, was granted an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") that permits the adviser, with Board of Trustees approval, to
enter into or amend sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisers without obtaining
shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified within 90 days of the
engagement of an additional sub-adviser or sub-advisers to manage a portion of
the Fund's portfolio.
ADVISER’S
INVESTMENT PROCESS
The
Adviser will pursue the Fund’s investment objectives, in part, by utilizing its
investment and risk management process.
•Sub-Adviser
Selection
represents the result of quantitative and qualitative reviews that will identify
a sub-adviser chosen for its managed futures expertise, historical performance,
management accessibility, commitment, investment strategy, as well as process
and methodology. Using this selection process, the Adviser believes it can
identify a sub-adviser that can produce positive, risk-adjusted returns. The
Adviser replaces a sub-adviser when its returns are below expectations or it
deviates from its traditional investment process.
•Risk
Management
represents the ongoing attention to the historical return performance of each
Underlying Fund as well as the interaction or correlation of returns between
Underlying Funds. Using this risk management process, the Adviser believes the
Fund, over time, will not be highly correlated to the equity markets and will
provide the potential for reducing volatility in investors’ portfolios.
SUB-ADVISER’S
INVESTMENT PROCESS
Graham
Capital Management, L.P.
Graham
Capital Management, L.P. (“GCM”) serves as a sub-adviser to the Fund. GCM
executes the strategy within the Macro Strategies Fund by employing
macro-oriented quantitative investment techniques to select long and short
positions in the global futures and foreign exchange markets. These techniques
are designed to produce attractive absolute and risk-adjusted returns while
maintaining low correlation to traditional asset classes. The strategy within
the Macro Strategies Fund is a quantitative trading system driven by
trend-following models. This program signals buy and sell orders based on a
number of factors, including price, volatility, and length of time a position
has been held in the portfolio. The strategy employs sophisticated techniques to
gradually enter and exit positions over the course of a trend in order to
maximize profit opportunities. It is expected that the average holding period of
instruments traded pursuant to the strategy within the Macro Strategies Fund
will be approximately six to eight weeks; however, that average may differ
depending on various factors and the system will make daily adjustments to
positions based on both price activity and market volatility. The program trades
a broad range of markets, including global interest rates, foreign exchange,
global stock indices and commodities.
Millburn
Ridgefield Corporation
Millburn
Ridgefield Corporation (“Millburn”) serves as a sub-adviser to the Fund.
Millburn’s Diversified Program invests in a diversified portfolio of futures,
forward and spot contracts (and may also invest in option and swap contracts) on
currencies, interest rate instruments, stock indices, metals, energy and
agricultural commodities. Millburn invests globally pursuant to its proprietary
quantitative and systematic trading methodology, based upon signals generated
from an analysis of price, price-derivatives, fundamental and other quantitative
data. Millburn’s Diversified Program generally seeks maximum diversification
subject to liquidity and sector concentration constraints. Each market is traded
using a diversified set of trading systems, which may be optimized for groups of
markets, sectors or specific markets. The following factors, among others, are
considered in constructing a universe of markets to
trade:
profitability, liquidity of markets, professional judgment, desired
diversification, transaction costs, exchange regulations and depth of market.
Revolution
Capital Management, LLC
Revolution
Capital Management, LLC (“Revolution”) serves as a sub-adviser to the Fund.
Revolution focuses on short-term, systematic and quantitative trading, applying
statistical analysis to all aspects of research, development, and operations.
The strategy seeks to provide superior risk-adjusted returns while maintaining
low correlations both to traditional equity and bond investments as well as the
trend-following strategies often employed by commodity trading
advisors.
R.G.
Niederhoffer Capital Management, Inc.
R.G.
Niederhoffer Capital Management, Inc. (“Niederhoffer”) serves as a sub-adviser
to the Fund. Niederhoffer provides asset management services for the Fund using
its Smart Alpha Program. The R.G. Niederhoffer Smart Alpha Program seeks to
achieve three key objectives: (1) Stable absolute returns regardless of market
environment, with zero correlation to Fixed Income, Equities and Hedge Funds;
(2) Strong, consistent downside and upside protection for portfolios containing
Global Bonds, Global Equities, Hedge Funds, and CTAs, and (3) Daily/monthly
liquidity and high transparency.
Nuveen
Asset Management, LLC
Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen”), serves as a sub-adviser to
the Fund, selects securities using a “top-down” approach that begins with the
formulation of Nuveen’s general economic outlook. Following this, various
sectors and industries are analyzed and selected for investment. Finally, Nuveen
selects individual securities within these sectors or industries that it
believes have above peer-group expected yield, potential for capital
preservation or appreciation. Nuveen selects futures and swaps to hedge interest
rate and credit risks and as substitutes for securities when it believes
derivatives provide a better return profile or when specific securities are
temporarily unavailable. Nuveen sells securities and derivatives to adjust
interest rate risk, adjust credit risk, when a price target is reached, or when
a security’s or derivative’s price outlook is deteriorating.
Principal Investment
Risks: As with all
mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your
investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Fund’s net asset
value and performance.
The
following risks apply to the Fund’s direct investments in securities and
derivatives as well as the Fund’s indirect risks through investing in Underlying
Funds and the Subsidiary. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical
order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other
funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a principal risk of investing in
the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. It is important to read
the provided risk disclosures in their entirety.
•ABS,
MBS and CMBS Risk: ABS, MBS and CMBS are subject to credit risk because underlying loan
borrowers may default. Additionally, these securities are subject to prepayment
risk because the underlying loans held by the issuers may be paid off prior to
maturity. The value of these securities may go down as a result of changes in
prepayment rates on the underlying mortgages or loans. During periods of
declining interest rates, prepayment rates usually increase and the Fund may
have to reinvest prepayment proceeds at a lower interest rate. CMBS are less
susceptible to this risk because underlying loans may have prepayment penalties
or prepayment lock out periods.
•Bitcoin
and Ether Futures Risk: The
market for Bitcoin and ether futures ("crypto futures") may be less developed,
and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures
markets. While the crypto futures market has grown substantially since the first
crypto futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth
will continue. The price for crypto futures contracts is based on a number of
factors, including the supply of and the demand for crypto futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, position limits, collateral requirements,
and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for crypto futures
contracts. Crypto futures may trade at a significant premium to the “spot” price
of the underlying digital asset. Additional demand, including demand resulting
from the purchase, or anticipated
purchase,
of crypto futures contracts by the Fund or other entities may increase that
premium, perhaps significantly. It is not possible to predict whether or for how
long such conditions will continue. To the extent the Fund purchases crypto
futures contracts at a premium and the premium declines, the value of an
investment in the Fund also should be expected to decline. The performance of
crypto futures contracts and the underlying digital asset may differ and they
may not be correlated with each other, over short or long periods of
time.
Crypto
may experience very high volatility and related investments, such as Bitcoin or
ether futures, may be affected by such volatility. As digital assets, Bitcoin
and ether operate without central authority and neither is backed by any
government. Large sales by a few holders of significant amounts of crypto
(commonly referred to as “whales”) could depress the price of the applicable
crypto. Federal, state or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange
of crypto, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing. Increased regulation
might tend to depress the price of crypto. Legal or regulatory changes may
negatively impact the operation of the crypto markets or restrict the use of
crypto. The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the
acceptance of bitcoin and/or ether and consequently a reduction in the value of
the respective crypto, crypto futures, and the
Fund.
•Commodity
Risk:
Investing
in
the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility
than investments in traditional securities. Commodity prices may be influenced
by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geologic and environmental
factors as well as changes in government regulation such as tariffs, embargoes
or burdensome production rules and restrictions.
•Credit
Risk: There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments
on securities and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the
Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the Fund may be
lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes.
•Derivatives
Risk: Derivatives are subject to tracking risk because they may not be
perfect substitutes for the instruments they are intended to hedge or replace.
Short positions are subject to potentially unlimited liability. Futures
positions held by the Fund may incur significant losses caused by unanticipated
market movements and such losses may be unlimited. Purchased options may expire
worthless. Over the counter derivatives, such as swaps, are subject to
counterparty default. Leverage inherent in derivatives will tend to magnify the
Fund’s losses.
•Fixed
Income Risk: Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of
fixed income securities owned by the Fund. The value of fixed income securities
typically falls when an issuer’s credit quality declines and may even become
worthless if an issuer defaults.
•Foreign
Currency Risk:
Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Market
risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates in the currencies the Fund
is long or short. Credit risk results because a currency-trade counterparty may
default. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with
transactions in its currency.
•Foreign
Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S.
investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse
political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility,
less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability and
differing auditing and legal standards. Investing in emerging markets imposes
risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed
countries.
•Interest
Rates and Bond Maturities Risk: Interest rate changes may adversely affect the market value of an
investment. Fixed-income securities typically decline in value when interest
rates rise. Fixed-income securities typically increase in value when interest
rates decline. The Fund may experience adverse exposure from either increasing
or declining rates. Bonds with longer maturities will be more affected by
interest rate changes than intermediate-term bonds.
•Issuer-Specific
Risk: The
value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and
can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of
securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than those of larger issuers.
The value of certain types of
securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to
adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic
developments.
•Leverage
Risk:
Using derivatives to increase the Fund’s combined long and short
exposure creates leverage, which can magnify the Fund’s potential for gain or
loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s
share price.
•Liquidity
Risk: Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would
be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such
illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the
Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to
satisfy its obligations.
•Management
Risk: The Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ judgments about the attractiveness,
value and potential appreciation of particular asset classes, securities and
derivatives in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and may not
produce the desired results. Additionally, the Adviser’s judgments about the
potential performance of the sub-adviser may also prove incorrect and may not
produce the desired results.
•Market
Risk: Overall securities and derivatives market risks may affect the value
of individual instruments in which the Fund invests. Factors such as domestic
and foreign economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and
political and social events affect the securities and derivatives markets.
Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and
conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely
impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks
may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the
global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect
companies worldwide. Recent examples include pandemic risks related to COVID-19
and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by governments. The effects
of COVID-19 have contributed to increased volatility in global markets and will
likely affect certain countries, companies, industries and market sectors more
dramatically than others. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and any other outbreak
of an infectious disease or other serious public health concern could have, a
significant negative impact on economic and market conditions and could trigger
a prolonged period of global economic slowdown. When the value of the Fund’s
investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you
could lose money.
•Portfolio
Turnover Risk: Active and frequent trading may lead to the realization and
distribution to shareholders of higher short-term capital gains, which would
increase their tax liability. Frequent trading also increases transaction costs,
which could detract from the Fund’s performance.
•Restricted
Securities Risk: Rule 144A securities, which are restricted securities, may not be
readily marketable in broad public markets. A Rule 144A restricted security
carries the risk that the Fund may not be able to sell a security when the
portfolio managers consider it desirable to do so and/or may have to sell the
security at a lower price. In addition, transaction costs may be higher for Rule
144A securities than for more liquid securities. Although there is a substantial
institutional market for Rule 144A securities, it is not possible to predict
exactly how the market for Rule 144A securities will develop. A restricted
security that when purchased was liquid in the institutional markets may
subsequently become illiquid.
•Short
Position Risk: The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the
price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of
the short position sale and the date on which an offsetting position is
purchased. The Fund is required to make a margin deposit in connection with such
short sales. The Fund may have to pay a fee to borrow particular securities and
will often be obligated to pay over any dividends and accrued interest on
borrowed securities. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions
and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the Adviser’s ability
to accurately anticipate the future value of a security or instrument. The
Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short position
transaction.
•Underlying
Funds Risk:
Underlying Funds are subject to management fees and other expenses, which will
be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund
will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund and may
be higher than other
mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Underlying
Funds are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the
fund.
•Wholly-Owned
Subsidiary Risk: The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and, unless otherwise noted in this
Prospectus, is not subject to all of 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 Subsidiary to operate as described in this
Prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. Your cost
of investing in the Fund will be higher because you indirectly bear the expenses
of the Subsidiary.
Who
Should Invest in the Fund?
The
Adviser believes the Fund is appropriate for investors seeking the
low-correlation benefits of managed futures investing, relative to traditional
stock portfolios.
Performance:
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of
the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the
Fund’s Class I shares from year to year and by showing how the one-year,
five-year, ten-year and since inception average annual total returns for the
Fund’s Class I shares compare with that of a broad-based securities index and a
secondary index The returns in the
bar chart and best/worst quarter are for Class I shares which do not have sales
charges. The performance of Class A and Class C Shares would be lower due to
differing expense structures and sales charges. The
returns in the table reflect the maximum applicable sales load of 5.75% on Class
A shares, and the maximum deferred sales load of 1.00% on Class C shares for the
one-year period. The Fund’s past
performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future and does not guarantee future
results. Net asset value (“NAV”) per share information and
updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at

The Fund offers three classes of shares. The Class I shares and
Class C shares commenced operations on March 24, 2011 and Class A shares
commenced operations on March 22, 2011. “Since
Inception” performance for Class A shares is shown as of March 22,
2011.
After-tax
returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal
income tax rates and does not reflect the impact of state and local
taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the individual
investor’s situation and may differ from those shown. Furthermore,
the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares
through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or Individual Retirement
Accounts (“IRAs”). After-tax
returns are shown for Class I shares only and will vary for Class A and Class C
shares. The Fund’s
return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares is greater than its
return after taxes on distributions because it includes a tax benefit resulting
from the capital losses that would have been incurred, and could be utilized
against other capital gains an investor may
have.

(3) "Other Expenses"
include both the expenses of the Fund's consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary
("Subsidiary") and the fee paid to the counterparty of the Fund's total return
swap ("Swap") and the Fund's commodity pool ("Commodity Pool"), which are the
primary ways the Fund seeks exposure to managers' (which are generally commodity
trading advisors ("CTAs")) trading vehicles (each, an "Underlying Fund"). The
Swap is designed to replicate the aggregate returns of the trading strategies of
the CTAs through a customized index. More information regarding the Subsidiary
and the investments made to pursue the Fund's Commodities strategy can be found
in the "Principal Investment Strategies" section of this Prospectus.
(4)
The cost of the Swap and
the Commodity Pool does not include the fees and expenses of the CTAs included
in the Swap and Commodity Pool. The returns of the Swap and the Commodity Pool
will be reduced and its losses increased by the costs associated with the Swap
and Commodity Pool, which are the fees and expenses deducted by the counterparty
in the calculation of the returns on the Swap and Commodity Pool, including the
management and performance fees of the CTAs. A performance fee for one or more
managers represented in the Swap and Commodity Pool may be deducted from the
return of the Swap and Commodity Pool even if the aggregate respective returns
of the Swap and Commodity Pool are negative. These fees, which are not reflected
in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table, are embedded in the returns of the
Swap and Commodity Pool and represent an indirect cost of investing in the Fund.
Generally, the management fees and performance fees of the CTAs included
in the Swap and Commodity Pool may range up to 1.50% of the Fund's allocated net
assets and up to 20% of the returns, respectively. Such fees are accrued daily
within the index and deducted from the Swap and Commodity Pool value quarterly.
Fees have been restated to reflect current
expenses.
Example:
This Example is intended to
help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in
other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment
has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses
remain the same. Although your actual
costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would
be:

Portfolio
Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys
and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio
turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes
when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal period ended December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 64% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies:
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment
objectives by allocating its assets using two principal strategies:
•“Commodities”
Strategy
•“Fixed
Income” Strategy
The
Commodities strategy is designed to produce capital appreciation by capturing
returns related to the commodities markets by investing primarily in securities
of one or more (1) limited partnerships, (2) corporations, (3) limited liability
companies and (4) other types of pooled investment vehicles, including commodity
pools (collectively, “Underlying Funds”) and derivative instruments, such as
swap contracts, structured notes or other securities or derivatives, that
provide exposure to the managers of Underlying Funds. Each Underlying Fund
invests according to its manager’s sub-strategy, long or short in one or a
combination of: (i) futures, (ii) forwards, (iii) options, (iv) spot contracts,
or (v) swaps, each of which may be tied to (a) energy resources, (b) metals or
(c) agricultural products. These derivative instruments are used as substitutes
for commodities and for hedging. The Fund may also invest in cash-settled
Bitcoin and/or Ether futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange
("CME"). The Fund will allocate less than 5% of Fund assets in these digital
asset futures (also referred to as crypto futures). To the extent the Fund uses
swaps or structured notes under the Commodities strategy, the investments will
generally have payments linked to commodity or financial derivatives that are
designed to produce returns similar to those of the Underlying Funds and their
respective sub-strategies. The Fund does not invest more than 25% of its assets
in contracts with any one counterparty. Commodities sub-strategies may include
investment styles that rely upon buy and sell signals generated from technical
analysis systems such as trend-pattern recognition, as well as from fundamental
economic analysis and relative value comparisons. Commodities strategy
investments are made without restriction as to the Underlying Fund’s country.
The
Fund executes its Commodities strategy primarily by investing up to 25% of its
total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in a wholly-owned and controlled
subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary invests the majority of its assets
in one or more Underlying Funds, swap contracts, structured notes and other
investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for derivative positions.
The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions as the Fund.
To
the extent the Adviser is utilizing derivatives to gain exposure to managers, it
is anticipated that the Fund uses a total return swap (the "Swap"), a type of
derivative instrument based on a customized index (the "Index") designed to
replicate the aggregate returns of the managers selected by the Adviser. The
Swap is based on a notional amount agreed upon by the Adviser and the
counterparty. The Adviser may add or remove managers from the Swap or adjust the
notional exposure between the managers within the Swap. Generally, the fees and
expenses of the Swap are based on the notional value. The Index is calculated by
the counterparty to the Swap and includes a deduction for fees of the
counterparty as well as management and performance fees of the managers. Because
the Index is designed to replicate the
returns
of managers selected by the Adviser, the performance of the Fund will depend on
the ability of the managers to generate returns in excess of the costs of the
Index.
The Adviser
anticipates that, based upon its analysis of long-term historical returns and
volatility of various asset classes, the Fund will allocate approximately 25% of
its assets to the Commodities strategy and approximately 75% of its assets to
the Fixed Income strategy. However, as market conditions change the portion
allocated may be higher or lower.
The
Fixed Income strategy is designed to generate interest income and preserve
principal by investing primarily in investment grade securities including: (1)
obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities, (2) securities issued or guaranteed by foreign
governments, their political subdivisions or agencies or instrumentalities, (3)
bonds, notes, or similar debt obligations issued by U.S. or foreign corporations
or special-purpose entities backed by corporate debt obligations, (4) U.S.
asset-backed securities (“ABS”), (5) U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities
(“MBS”), (6) U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), (7) interest
rate-related futures contracts, (8) interest rate-related or credit
default-related swap contracts and (9) money market funds. The Fund defines
investment grade fixed income securities as those that are rated, at the time
purchased, in the top four categories by a rating agency such as Moody’s
Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
(“S&P”), or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality. However,
the fixed income portion of the Fund’s portfolio will be invested without
restriction as to individual issuer country, type of entity, or capitalization.
Futures and swap contracts are used for hedging purposes and as substitutes for
fixed income securities. The Fund’s Adviser delegates management of the Fund’s
Fixed Income strategy portfolio to a sub-adviser.
The
Fund seeks to achieve its secondary investment objective primarily by (1)
diversifying the Commodities strategy investments among sub-strategies that are
not expected to have returns that are highly correlated to each other or the
commodities markets and (2) by selecting Fixed Income strategy investments that
are short-term to medium-term interest income-generating securities (those with
maturities or average lives of less than 10 years) that are expected to be less
volatile than the commodities markets in general and that are not expected to
have returns that are highly correlated to the commodities markets or the
Commodities strategy.
The
Adviser, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Fund and other Funds it
advises or may advise in the future that are each a series of LoCorr Investment
Trust, was granted an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") that permits the Adviser, with Board of Trustees
approval, to enter into or amend sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisers
without obtaining shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified within 90
days of the engagement of an additional sub-adviser or sub-advisers to manage a
portion of the Fund's portfolio.
ADVISER’S
INVESTMENT PROCESS
The
Adviser will pursue the Fund’s investment objectives, in part, by utilizing its
investment and risk management process.
•Underlying
Fund
selection by the Adviser, or including an Underlying Fund in a derivative
investment designed to replicate the returns of an Underlying Fund, represents
the result of quantitative and qualitative reviews that identify Underlying
Funds and their managers chosen for their alternative investment market niche
(investments other than stocks and bonds), historical performance, management
accessibility, commitment, investment strategy, as well as process and
methodology. Using this selection process, the Adviser believes it can identify
Underlying Funds with above-average expected returns and lower-than-average
volatility.
•Risk
Management
represents the ongoing attention to the historical return performance of each
Underlying Fund as well as the interaction or correlation of returns between
Underlying Funds. Using this risk management process, the adviser believes the
Fund, over time, will not be highly correlated to the commodities markets and
will provide the potential for reducing volatility in investors’ portfolios.
The
Adviser buys securities that it believes offer above-average expected returns
and lower-than-average volatility and sells them when it believes they have
reached their target price, to adjust asset allocation or when more attractive
investments are available.
SUB-ADVISER’S
INVESTMENT PROCESS
Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen”) serves as the Fund’s
sub-adviser for its Fixed Income Strategy. The sub-adviser selects securities
using a “bottom-up” approach that begins with fundamental analysis. The
portfolio construction process emphasizes income generation with risk control by
focusing on broad diversification across issuer and sector. The sub-adviser is
typically strategically over-weighted in non-Treasury sectors. Portfolios are
diversified among agency, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed, commercial
mortgage-backed, asset-backed, supranational, sovereign, and municipal
securities. The sub-adviser may select futures and swaps to hedge interest rate
and credit risks and as substitutes for securities when it believes derivatives
provide a better return profile or when specific securities are temporarily
unavailable. The sub-adviser may sell securities and derivatives to adjust
interest rate risk, adjust credit risk, when a price target is reached, or when
a security’s or derivative’s price outlook is deteriorating.
Principal Investment
Risks: As with all
mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your
investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Fund’s net asset
value and performance.
The
following risks apply to the Fund’s direct investments in securities and
derivatives as well as the Fund’s indirect risks through investing in Underlying
Funds and the Subsidiary. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical
order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other
funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a principal risk of investing in
the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. It is important to read
the provided risk disclosures in their entirety.
•ABS,
MBS and CMBS Risk: ABS, MBS and CMBS are subject to credit risk because underlying loan
borrowers may default. Additionally, these securities are subject to prepayment
risk because the underlying loans held by the issuers may be paid off prior to
maturity. The value of these securities may go down as a result of changes in
prepayment rates on the underlying mortgages or loans. During periods of
declining interest rates, prepayment rates usually increase and the Fund may
have to reinvest prepayment proceeds at a lower interest rate. CMBS are less
susceptible to this risk because underlying loans may have prepayment penalties
or prepayment lock out periods.
•Bitcoin
and Ether Futures Risk: The
market for Bitcoin and ether futures ("crypto futures") may be less developed,
and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures
markets. While the crypto futures market has grown substantially since the first
crypto futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth
will continue. The price for crypto futures contracts is based on a number of
factors, including the supply of and the demand for crypto futures contracts.
Market conditions and expectations, position limits, collateral requirements,
and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for crypto futures
contracts. Crypto futures may trade at a significant premium to the “spot” price
of the underlying digital asset. Additional demand, including demand resulting
from the purchase, or anticipated purchase, of crypto futures contracts by the
Fund or other entities may increase that premium, perhaps significantly. It is
not possible to predict whether or for how long such conditions will continue.
To the extent the Fund purchases crypto futures contracts at a premium and the
premium declines, the value of an investment in the Fund also should be expected
to decline. The performance of crypto futures contracts and the underlying
digital asset may differ and they may not be correlated with each other, over
short or long periods of time.
Crypto
may experience very high volatility and related investments, such as Bitcoin or
ether futures, may be affected by such volatility. As digital assets, Bitcoin
and ether operate without central authority and neither is backed by any
government. Large sales by a few holders of significant amounts of crypto
(commonly referred to as “whales”) could depress the price of the applicable
crypto. Federal, state or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange
of crypto, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing. Increased regulation
might tend to depress
the
price of crypto. Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation
of the crypto markets or restrict the use of crypto. The realization of any of
these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of bitcoin and/or ether
and consequently a reduction in the value of the respective crypto, crypto
futures, and the Fund.
•Commodity
Risk:
Investing
in
the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility
than investments in traditional securities. Commodity prices may be influenced
by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geologic and environmental
factors as well as changes in government regulation such as tariffs, embargoes
or burdensome production rules and restrictions.
•Commodity
Pool Risk:
Commodity Pools are privately offered investment vehicles that are not
registered under The Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) and will not be
subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Commodity pools may
incur a significant degree of leverage which can magnify the Fund’s potential
loss or gain. Commodity pools are also subject to investment advisory fees and
other expenses, including performance fees, which will be indirectly paid by the
Fund.
•Credit
Risk: There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make
payments on securities and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in
losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the
Fund may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition
changes.
•Derivatives
Risk:
Derivatives are subject to tracking risk because they may not be perfect
substitutes for the instruments they are intended to hedge or replace. Short
positions are subject to potentially unlimited liability. Futures positions held
by the Fund may incur significant losses caused by unanticipated market
movements and such losses may be unlimited. Purchased options may expire
worthless. Over the counter derivatives, such as swaps, are subject to
counterparty default. Leverage inherent in derivatives will tend to magnify the
Fund’s losses. The Fund may engage in transactions involving dealer options as
well as exchange-traded options. Certain additional risks are specific to dealer
options. While the Fund might look to a clearing corporation to exercise
exchange-traded options, if the Fund were to purchase a dealer option it would
need to rely on the dealer from which it purchased the option to perform if the
option were exercised. Failure by the dealer to do so would result in the loss
of the premium paid by the Fund as well as loss of the expected benefit of the
transaction.
•Fixed
Income Risk: Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of
fixed income securities owned by the Fund. The value of fixed income securities
typically falls when an issuer’s credit quality declines and may even become
worthless if an issuer defaults.
•Foreign
Currency Risk: Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country
risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates in the
currencies the Fund is long or short. Credit risk results because a
currency-trade counterparty may default. Country risk arises because a
government may interfere with transactions in its currency.
•Foreign
Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S.
investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse
political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility,
less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability and
differing auditing and legal standards. Investing in emerging markets imposes
risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed
countries.
•Interest
Rates and Bond Maturities Risk: Interest rate changes may adversely affect the market value of an
investment. Fixed-income securities typically decline in value when interest
rates rise. Fixed-income securities typically increase in value when interest
rates decline. The Fund may experience adverse exposure from either increasing
or declining rates. Bonds with longer maturities will be more affected by
interest rate changes than intermediate-term bonds.
•Issuer-Specific
Risk: The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market
as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than those of
larger issuers. The value of certain types of securities can be more volatile
due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market,
or economic developments.
•Leverage
Risk:
Using derivatives to increase the Fund’s combined long and short
exposure creates leverage, which can magnify the Fund’s potential for gain or
loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s
share price.
•Liquidity
Risk: Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would
be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such
illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the
Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to
satisfy its obligations.
•Management
Risk: The Adviser’s and sub-adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness,
value and potential appreciation of particular asset classes, securities and
derivatives in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and may not
produce the desired results. Additionally, the Adviser’s judgments about the
potential performance of the sub-adviser may also prove incorrect and may not
produce the desired results.
•Market
Risk: Overall securities and derivatives market risks may affect the value
of individual instruments in which the Fund invests. Factors such as domestic
and foreign economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and
political and social events affect the securities and derivatives markets.
Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and
conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely
impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks
may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the
global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect
companies worldwide. Recent examples include pandemic risks related to COVID-19
and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by governments. The effects
of COVID-19 have contributed to increased volatility in global markets and will
likely affect certain countries, companies, industries and market sectors more
dramatically than others. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and any other outbreak
of an infectious disease or other serious public health concern could have, a
significant negative impact on economic and market conditions and could trigger
a prolonged period of global economic slowdown. When the value of the Fund’s
investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you
could lose money.
•Portfolio
Turnover Risk: Active and frequent trading may lead to the realization and
distribution to shareholders of higher short-term capital gains, which would
increase their tax liability. Frequent trading also increases transaction costs,
which could detract from the Fund’s performance.
•Restricted
Securities Risk: Rule 144A securities, which are restricted securities, may not be
readily marketable in broad public markets. A Rule 144A restricted security
carries the risk that the Funds may not be able to sell a security when the
portfolio managers consider it desirable to do so and/or may have to sell the
security at a lower price. In addition, transaction costs may be higher for Rule
144A securities than for more liquid securities. Although there is a substantial
institutional market for Rule 144A securities, it is not possible to predict
exactly how the market for Rule 144A securities will develop. A restricted
security that when purchased was liquid in the institutional markets may
subsequently become illiquid.
•Short
Position Risk: The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the
price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of
the short position sale and the date on which an offsetting position is
purchased. The Fund is required to make a margin deposit in connection with such
short sales; The Fund may have to pay a fee to borrow particular securities and
will often be obligated to pay over any dividends and accrued interest on
borrowed securities. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions
and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the Adviser’s ability
to accurately anticipate the future value of a security or instrument. The
Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short position
transaction.
•Swap
Risk: Swap agreements are subject to the risk that the counterparty to
the swap will default on its obligation to pay the Fund and the risk that the
Fund will not be able to meet its obligations to pay the counterparty to the
swap. Swap agreements may also involve fees, commissions or other costs that may
reduce the Fund's gains from a swap agreement or may cause the Fund to lose
money.
•Underlying
Funds Risk:
Underlying Funds are subject to management fees and other expenses, which will
be indirectly paid by the Fund. In addition to management fees and other
expenses,
certain Underlying Fund assets may be subject to additional
performance-based fees based on a percentage of Underlying Fund profits. As a
result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of
investing directly in an Underlying Fund and may be higher than other mutual
funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each Underlying Fund may pay
performance-based fees to each manager without regard to the performance of
other managers and the Underlying Fund’s overall profitability. Underlying Funds
are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the
fund.
•Wholly-Owned
Subsidiary Risk: The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and, unless
otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all of 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 Subsidiary to
operate as described in this Prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and
its shareholders. Your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher because you
indirectly bear the expenses of the Subsidiary.
Who
Should Invest in the Fund?
The
Adviser believes the Fund is appropriate for investors seeking the
low-correlation benefits of commodities strategy investing, relative to
traditional stock portfolios.
Performance:
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of
the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the
Fund’s Class I shares from year to year and by showing how the one-year,
five-year, ten-year and since inception average annual total returns of the
Fund’s Class I shares compare with that of a broad-based securities index and a
secondary index. The returns in the
bar chart and best/worst quarter are for Class I shares which do not have sales
charges. The performance of Class A and Class C Shares would be lower due to
differing expense structures and sales charges. The
returns in the table reflect the maximum applicable sales load of 5.75% on Class
A shares, and the maximum deferred sales load of 1.00% on Class C shares for the
one-year period. The Fund’s past
performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future and does not guarantee future
results. Net asset value (“NAV”) per share information and
updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at

(1) The Fund's inception date is December 31, 2011, the date to which
performance is measured. The Fund commenced operations on January 1,
2012.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest
individual federal marginal income tax rates and does not reflect the impact of
state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the
individual investor’s situation and may differ from those shown. Furthermore, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to
investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k)
plans or Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”). After-tax returns are shown for Class I shares only and will
vary for Class A and Class C shares. The Fund’s
return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares is greater than its
return after taxes on distributions because it includes a tax benefit resulting
from the capital losses that would have been incurred, and could be utilized
against other capital gains an investor may
have.

Portfolio
Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys
and sells financial instruments (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher
portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in
higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which
are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect
the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended December 31,
2023, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 77% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies: The
Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by allocating its assets using
two principal strategies:
•"Market
Trend" Strategy
•"Fixed
Income" Strategy
The
Market Trend strategy is a macro-oriented quantitative strategy that employs
various investment techniques to select long and short positions in the global
futures and foreign exchange markets. These techniques are designed to produce
attractive absolute and risk-adjusted returns while maintaining low correlation
to traditional asset classes. The Market Trend strategy is a quantitative
trading system driven by trend-following models. The program signals buy and
sell orders based on a number of factors, including price, volatility, and
length of time a position has been held in the portfolio, and employs
sophisticated techniques to gradually enter and exit positions over the course
of a trend in order to maximize profit opportunities. It is expected that the
average holding period of instruments traded pursuant to the Market Trend
strategy will be approximately 50 days; however, that average may differ
depending on various factors and the program will make daily adjustments to
positions based on both price activity and market volatility. The program trades
a broad range of markets, including global interest rates, foreign exchange,
global stock indices and commodities. LoCorr Fund Management, LLC, the Fund’s
adviser (the “Adviser”), delegates management of the Fund's Market Trend
strategy portfolio to a sub-adviser, Graham Capital Management, L.P. ("GCM").
The
Fund will execute a portion of its Market Trend strategy by directly investing
in the Fund or by investing up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time
of purchase) in a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary (the "Subsidiary"). The
Fund and the Subsidiary will invest the majority of its assets in futures
contracts and other investments (short to medium term investment grade
securities) intended to serve as margin or collateral for futures positions. The
Subsidiary is managed by the Adviser and sub-advised by GCM and is subject to
the same investment restrictions as the Fund, when viewed on a consolidated
basis.
The
Fixed Income strategy is designed to generate interest income and preserve
principal by investing primarily in investment grade securities including: (1)
obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities, (2) securities issued or guaranteed by foreign
governments, their political subdivisions or agencies or instrumentalities, (3)
bonds, notes, or similar debt obligations issued by U.S. or foreign corporations
or special-purpose entities backed by corporate debt obligations, (4) U.S.
asset-backed securities ("ABS"), (5) U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities
("MBS"), (6) U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), (7) interest
rate-related futures contracts, (8) interest rate-related or credit default swap
contracts and (9) money market funds. The Fund defines investment grade fixed
income securities as those that are rated, at the time purchased, in the top
four categories by a rating agency such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P"), or, if
unrated, determined to be of comparable quality. However, the fixed income
portion of the Fund's portfolio will be invested without restriction as to
individual issuer country, type of entity, or capitalization. Futures and swap
contracts are used for hedging purposes and as substitutes for fixed income
securities. The Fund's Adviser delegates management of the Fund's Fixed Income
strategy portfolio to a sub-adviser, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC ("Nuveen").
The Adviser
anticipates that, based upon its analysis of long-term historical returns and
volatility of various asset classes, the Fund will allocate approximately 25% of
its assets to the Market Trend strategy and approximately 75% of its assets to
the Fixed Income strategy. However, as market conditions change the portion
allocated may be higher or lower.
The
Fund seeks to achieve its secondary investment objective primarily by (1)
diversifying the Market Trend strategy investments among financial instruments
that are not expected to have returns that are highly correlated to each other
or the equity markets and (2) by selecting Fixed Income strategy investments
that are short-term to medium-term interest income-generating securities (those
with maturities or average lives of less than 10 years) that are expected to be
less volatile than the equity
markets
in general and that are not expected to have returns that are highly correlated
to the equity markets or the Market Trend strategy.
The
Adviser, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Fund and other Funds it
advises or may advise in the future that are each a series of LoCorr Investment
Trust, was granted an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") that permits the Adviser, with Board of Trustees
approval, to enter into or amend sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisers
without obtaining shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified within 90
days of the engagement of an additional sub-adviser or sub-advisers to manage a
portion of the Fund's portfolio.
The
Fund and the Subsidiary are each a "commodity pool" under the U.S. Commodity
Exchange Act and the Adviser is a "commodity pool operator" registered with and
regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"). As a result,
additional CFTC-mandated disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping obligations
apply with respect to the Fund and the Subsidiary under CFTC and SEC harmonized
regulations.
ADVISER'S
INVESTMENT PROCESS
The
Adviser will pursue the Fund's investment objectives, in part, by utilizing its
sub-adviser selection and risk management process.
•Sub-adviser
Selection.
The Adviser selects sub-advisers it believes can successfully execute the Fund's
overall investment strategies. The Adviser also monitors and evaluates the
performance of the sub-advisers and implements procedures to ensure each
sub-adviser complies with the Fund's investment policies and restrictions.
•Risk
Management.
The Adviser manages the expected volatility of the Fund's returns by monitoring
the interaction and correlation of the returns between the Market Trend and
Fixed Income strategies. Using this risk management process, the Adviser
believes the Fund's returns, over time, will not be highly correlated to the
equity markets and will provide the potential for reducing volatility in
investors' portfolios.
SUB-ADVISERS'
INVESTMENT PROCESS
Graham
Capital Management, L.P.
GCM
executes the Market Trend strategy by employing macro-oriented quantitative
investment techniques to select long and short positions in the global futures
and foreign exchange markets These techniques are designed to produce attractive
absolute and risk-adjusted returns while maintaining low correlation to
traditional asset classes. Futures contracts and foreign exchange forward
contracts have leverage inherent in their terms as the Fund need only post a
margin deposit and does not have to pay the full price of the contract.
The
Market Trend strategy is based on a quantitative investment program that has its
origins in GCM’s trend-following trading systems, dating as far back as 1995.
Such systems generally are based on computerized mathematical models and can
rely both on technical (i.e., historic price and volume data) and fundamental
(i.e., general economic, interest rate and industrial production data)
information as the basis for their trading decisions. GCM’s trend systems are
designed to participate selectively in potential profit opportunities that can
occur during periods of price trends in a diverse number of U.S. and
international markets. The trend systems establish positions in markets where
the price action of a particular market signals the computerized systems used by
GCM that a potential trend in prices is occurring. The trend systems are
designed to analyze, mathematically, the recent trading characteristics of each
market and statistically compare such characteristics to the historical trading
patterns of the particular market. The trend systems also employ proprietary
risk management and trade filter strategies that seek to benefit from sustained
price trends while reducing risk and volatility exposure. Positions are adjusted
to reflect changes in prices and trends and to manage
risk.
Nuveen
Asset Management, LLC
Nuveen
executes the Fixed Income strategy by selecting securities using a "top-down"
approach that begins with the formulation of its general economic outlook.
Following this, various sectors and industries are analyzed and selected for
investment. Finally, Nuveen selects individual securities within these sectors
or industries that it believes have above peer-group expected yield, potential
for capital preservation or appreciation. Nuveen also selects futures and swaps
to hedge interest rate and credit risks and as substitutes for securities when
it believes derivatives provide a better return profile or when specific
securities are temporarily unavailable. Nuveen sells securities and derivatives
to adjust interest rate risk, adjust credit risk, when a price target is
reached, or when a security's or derivative's price outlook is
deteriorating.
Principal Investment
Risks: As with all
mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your
investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Fund's net asset
value and performance.
The
following risks apply to the Fund's direct investments in securities and
derivatives as well as the Fund's indirect risks through investing in the
Subsidiary. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to
facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each
risk summarized below is considered a principal risk of investing in the Fund,
regardless of the order in which it appears. It is important to read the
provided risk disclosures in their entirety.
•ABS,
MBS and CMBS Risk: ABS, MBS and CMBS are subject to credit risk because underlying loan
borrowers may default. Additionally, these securities are subject to prepayment
risk because the underlying loans held by the issuers may be paid off prior to
maturity. The value of these securities may go down as a result of changes in
prepayment rates on the underlying mortgages or loans. During periods of
declining interest rates, prepayment rates usually increase and the Fund may
have to reinvest prepayment proceeds at a lower interest rate. CMBS are less
susceptible to this risk because underlying loans may have prepayment penalties
or prepayment lock out periods.
•Commodity
Risk: Investing in the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater
volatility than investments in traditional securities. Commodity prices may be
influenced by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geologic and
environmental factors as well as changes in government regulation such as
tariffs, embargoes or burdensome production rules and
restrictions.
•Convertible
Bond Risk: Convertible bonds are particularly sensitive to changes in interest
rates when their conversion to equity feature is small relative to the interest
and principal value of the bond. Convertible issuers may not be able to make
principal and interest payments on the bond as they become due. Convertible
bonds may also be subject to prepayment or redemption risk. If a convertible
bond held by the Fund is called for redemption, the Fund will be required to
surrender the security for redemption, convert it into the issuing company's
common stock or cash at a time that may be unfavorable to the Fund. When a
convertible bond's value is more closely tied to its conversion to stock
feature, it is sensitive to the underlying stock's price.
•Credit
Risk: There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make
payments on securities and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in
losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the
Fund may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition
changes.
•Derivatives
Risk: Derivatives are subject to tracking risk because they may not be
perfect substitutes for the instruments they are intended to hedge or replace.
Short positions are subject to potentially unlimited liability. Futures
positions held by the Fund may incur significant losses caused by unanticipated
market movements and such losses may be unlimited. Purchased options may expire
worthless. Over the counter derivatives, such as swaps, are subject to
counterparty default. Leverage inherent in derivatives such as futures will tend
to magnify the Fund’s losses.
•Fixed
Income Risk: Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of
fixed income securities owned by the Fund. The value of fixed income securities
typically falls when an issuer's credit quality declines and may even become
worthless if an issuer defaults.
•Foreign
Currency Risk: Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country
risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates in the
currencies the Fund is long or short. Credit risk results because a
currency-trade counterparty may default. Country risk arises because a
government may interfere with transactions in its currency.
•Foreign
Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S.
investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse
political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility,
less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability and
differing auditing and legal standards. Investing in emerging markets imposes
risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed
countries.
•Interest
Rates and Bond Maturities Risk: Interest rate changes may adversely affect the market value of an
investment. Fixed-income securities typically decline in value when interest
rates rise. Fixed-income securities typically increase in value when interest
rates decline. The Fund may experience adverse exposure from either increasing
or declining rates. Bonds with longer maturities will be more affected by
interest rate changes than intermediate-term bonds.
•Issuer-Specific
Risk: The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market
as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than those of
larger issuers. The value of certain types of securities can be more volatile
due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market,
or economic developments.
•Leverage
Risk: Using derivatives to increase the Fund's combined long and short
exposure creates leverage, which can magnify the Fund's potential for gain or
loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund's
share price.
•Liquidity
Risk: Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would
be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such
illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the
Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to
satisfy its obligations.
•Management
Risk: The Adviser's and each sub-adviser's judgments about the
attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular asset classes,
securities and derivatives in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect
and may not produce the desired results. Additionally, the Adviser's judgments
about the potential performance of the sub-advisers may also prove incorrect and
may not produce the desired results.
•Market
Risk: Overall securities and derivatives market risks may affect the value
of individual instruments in which the Fund invests. Factors such as domestic
and foreign economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and
political and social events affect the securities and derivatives markets.
Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and
conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely
impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks
may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the
global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect
companies worldwide. Recent examples include pandemic risks related to COVID-19
and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by governments. The effects
of COVID-19 have contributed to increased volatility in global markets and will
likely affect certain countries, companies, industries and market sectors more
dramatically than others. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and any other outbreak
of an infectious disease or other serious public health concern could have, a
significant negative impact on economic and market conditions and could trigger
a prolonged period of global economic slowdown. When the value of the Fund's
investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you
could lose money.
•Portfolio
Turnover Risk: Active and frequent trading may lead to the realization and
distribution to shareholders of higher short-term capital gains, which would
increase their tax liability. Frequent trading also increases transaction costs,
which could detract from the Fund’s performance.
•Restricted
Securities Risk: Rule 144A securities, which are restricted securities, may not be
readily marketable in broad public markets. A Rule 144A restricted security
carries the risk that the Funds may not be able to sell a security when the
portfolio managers consider it desirable to do so and/or may have to sell the
security at a lower price. In addition, transaction costs may be higher for Rule
144A securities than for more liquid securities. Although there is a substantial
institutional market for Rule 144A securities, it is not possible to predict
exactly how the market for Rule 144A securities will develop. A restricted
security that when purchased was liquid in the institutional markets may
subsequently become illiquid.
•Short
Position Risk: The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the
price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of
the short position sale and the date on which an offsetting position is
purchased. The Fund is required to make a margin deposit in connection with such
short sales; The Fund may have to pay a fee to borrow particular securities and
will often be obligated to pay over any dividends and accrued interest on
borrowed securities. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions
and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the Adviser's ability
to accurately anticipate the future value of a security or instrument. The
Fund's losses are potentially unlimited in a short position
transaction.
•Wholly-Owned
Subsidiary Risk:
The Subsidiary will not be registered under the 1940 Act and, unless otherwise
noted in this Prospectus, will not be subject to all of 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 Subsidiary to operate as
described in this Prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and its
shareholders. By investing in commodities indirectly through the Subsidiary, the
Fund will obtain exposure to the commodities markets within the federal tax
requirements that apply to the Fund. However, because the Subsidiary is a
controlled foreign corporation, any income received from its investments will be
passed through to the Fund as ordinary income, which may be taxed at less
favorable rates than capital gains. Additionally, losses at the subsidiary are
not available to be carried forward nor offset by gains at the Fund level. Your
cost of investing in the Fund will be higher because you indirectly bear the
expenses of the Subsidiary.
Who
Should Invest in the Fund?
The
Adviser believes the Fund is appropriate for investors seeking the
low-correlation benefits of Market Trend investing, relative to traditional
stock portfolios.
Performance:
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of
the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance
from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual total returns for
one-year, 5-years and since inception compare with that of a broad-based
securities index and a secondary index. The returns in the
bar chart and best/worst quarter are for Class I shares which do not have sales
charges. The performance of Class A and Class C Shares would be lower due to
differing expense structures and sales charges. The
returns in the table reflect the maximum applicable sales load of 5.75% on Class
A shares, and the maximum deferred sales load of 1.00% on Class C shares for the
one-year period. The Fund’s past
performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future and does not guarantee future
results. Updated performance information is available at no cost
to shareholders by visiting www.LoCorrFunds.com or by calling

Fund's inception date is June 30, 2014, the date to which performance is
measured. The Fund commenced operations on July 1,

After-tax
returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal
income tax rates and does not reflect the impact of state and local
taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the individual
investor’s situation and may differ from those shown. Furthermore, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to
investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k)
plans or Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”). After-tax returns are shown for Class I shares only and will
vary for Class A and Class C shares. The Fund’s
return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares is greater than its
return after taxes on distributions because it includes a tax benefit resulting
from the capital losses that would have been incurred, and could be utilized
against other capital gains an investor may
have.

exceed 1.99% of the Fund’s daily average net assets attributable to each class
of the Fund. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to
possible recoupment from the Fund within three years following the date on which
the fee waiver or expense reimbursement occurred, if the Fund is able to make
the repayment without exceeding its current expense limitations and the
repayment is approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be terminated
only by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, on 60 days’ written notice to the Adviser.
Example:
This Example is intended to
help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in
other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the
Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and reflects the
expense limitation in the first year only.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon
these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys
and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio
turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes
when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 932% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies:
Under normal market
conditions, the Fund invests in long or short positions in equity securities of
domestic and foreign companies. The Fund defines equity securities as (1) common
stocks, (2) preferred stocks and (3) debt securities that are convertible into
stock. The Fund invests in securities of issuers without restriction as to
capitalization or country, including emerging markets. The Fund invests in
convertible debt securities of any maturity or credit quality, including those
known as "junk bonds." Junk bonds are rated below Baa3 by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or equivalently by another nationally recognized
statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”). The Fund may invest a portion of its
assets in private placement offerings which may be illiquid.
The
Fund's Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund's primary investment objective of
long-term capital appreciation by using a "long/short equity" strategy that is
executed by allocating assets to a sub-adviser that has a long/short equity
investment strategy. The Adviser may also engage an additional sub-adviser or
additional sub-advisers if it believes they will enhance the Fund’s performance
or reduce volatility. The Adviser may also use one or more exchange-traded funds
("ETFs") to execute a portion of the long/short equity strategy rather than
allocate assets to a sub-adviser, when it believes that doing so will help the
Fund achieve its investment objective. The Fund anticipates reduced return
volatility when compared to traditional broad-based equity market indices
because the short element of its strategies is expected to produce a hedging
effect.
The
Adviser, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Fund and other Funds it
advises or may advise in the future that are each a series of LoCorr Investment
Trust, was granted an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") that permits the adviser, with Board of Trustees
approval, to enter into or amend sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisers
without obtaining shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified within 90
days of the engagement of an additional sub-adviser or sub-advisers to manage a
portion of the Fund's portfolio.
ADVISER’S
INVESTMENT PROCESS
The
Adviser will pursue the Fund’s investment objectives, in part, by utilizing its
sub-adviser selection and its risk management process to select the appropriate
sub-adviser(s) to help the Fund achieve its objectives.
•Sub-Adviser
Selection
represents the result of quantitative and qualitative reviews that will identify
a sub-adviser chosen for its long/short equity market niche, historical
performance, management accessibility, commitment, investment strategy, as well
as process and methodology. Using this selection process, the Adviser believes
it can identify a sub-adviser that can produce positive, risk-adjusted returns.
The Adviser replaces a sub-adviser when its returns are below expectations or it
deviates from its traditional investment process.
SUB-ADVISERS’
INVESTMENT PROCESS
Kettle
Hill Capital Management, LLC (“KHCM”) serves as a sub-adviser to the Fund.
KHCM’s investment strategy is a value-oriented, fundamentals- and
research-driven, bottom-up equity long/short approach. The strategy focuses on
unique risk-reward strategies within the small-cap universe, seeking to generate
superior absolute returns over the investment cycle and balancing return
potential of the portfolio against risks inherent in individual stocks, industry
selection, small-cap investing, and broader markets and economies. For both long
and short investments, KHCM selects companies ranked by relative value.
Millrace
Asset Group, Inc. (“Millrace”) serves as a sub-adviser to the Fund. Millrace
manages a long/short US equity strategy based on their fundamental, bottom-up
research of, predominantly, smaller companies. Their objective is to deliver
returns over the course of a full market cycle that exceed the US equity market
with less downside exposure during market downturns. The portfolio is
diversified by the number of holdings as well as the sector
exposure.
Principal Investment
Risks: As with all
mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your
investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Fund’s net asset
value and performance.
The
following risks apply to the Fund’s direct investments in securities and
derivatives as well as the Fund’s indirect risks through investing in Underlying
Funds and the Subsidiary. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical
order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other
funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a principal risk of investing in
the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. It is important to read
the provided risk disclosures in their entirety.
•Convertible
Securities Risk: A convertible security is a fixed-income security (a debt
instrument or a preferred stock) which may be converted at a stated price within
a specified period of time into a certain quantity of the common stock of the
same or a different issuer. The market value of a convertible security performs
like that of a regular debt security, that is, if market interest rates rise,
the value of the convertible security falls.
•Credit
Risk: There is a risk that convertible debt issuers will not make payments
on securities held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition,
the credit quality of convertible debt securities held by the Fund may be
lowered if an issuer's financial condition changes.
•Derivatives
Risk: Derivatives
are subject to tracking risk because they may not be perfect substitutes for the
instruments they are intended to hedge or replace. Short positions are subject
to potentially unlimited liability. Futures positions held by the Fund may incur
significant losses caused by unanticipated market movements and such losses may
be unlimited. Purchased options may expire worthless. Over the counter
derivatives, such as swaps, are subject to counterparty default. Leverage
inherent in derivatives will tend to magnify the Fund’s
losses.
•Emerging
Market Risk: Investments in securities of issuers in emerging markets will be
subject to risks of foreign securities in general and with those of emerging
markets as well. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable
governments, weaker economies, and less-developed legal systems with fewer
security holder rights. Emerging market economies may be based on only a few
industries and security issuers may be more susceptible to economic weakness and
more likely to default. Securities of issuers in emerging markets securities
also tend to be less liquid.
•Equity
Market Risk: Common and preferred stocks are susceptible to general stock market
fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market
confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. Convertible bonds may
decline in value if the price of a common stock falls below the conversion
price. Investor perceptions are based on various and unpredictable factors
including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal
policies; inflation and interest rates; economic expansion or contraction and
global or regional political, economic and banking crises.
•ETF
Risk:
ETFs are subject to investment advisory fees and other expenses, which will be
indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the 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. Each ETF is subject
to specific risks, depending on the nature of the
ETF.
•Foreign
Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S.
investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse
political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility,
less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability and
differing auditing and legal standards. Investing in emerging markets imposes
risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed
countries.
•High
Yield or Junk Bond Risk: Lower-quality convertible debt securities, known as "high yield" or
"junk" bonds, present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an
increased risk of default. An economic downturn or period of rising interest
rates could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the Fund's
ability to sell its bonds. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could
decrease the Fund's share price.
•Interest
Rates and Bond Maturities Risk: Interest rate changes may adversely affect the market value of an
investment. Fixed-income securities typically decline in value when interest
rates rise. Fixed-income securities typically increase in value when interest
rates decline. The Fund may experience adverse exposure from either increasing
or declining rates. Bonds with longer maturities will be more affected by
interest rate changes than intermediate-term bonds.
•Issuer-Specific
Risk: The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market
as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than those of
larger issuers. The value of certain types of securities can be more volatile
due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market,
or economic developments.
•Liquidity
Risk: Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would
be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such
illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the
Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to
satisfy its obligations.
•Management
Risk:
The Adviser's judgments about an investment or the investment expertise of a
sub-adviser may prove to be inaccurate and may not produce the desired results.
A sub-adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential
appreciation or depreciation of a particular security in which the Fund invests
or sells short may prove to be inaccurate and may not produce the desired
results.
•Market
Risk: Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual
instruments in which the Fund invests. Factors such as domestic and foreign
economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political and
social events affect the securities markets. Global economies and financial
markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one
country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different
country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain
events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and
other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. Recent
examples include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures
taken worldwide in response by governments. The effects of COVID-19 have
contributed to increased volatility in global markets and will likely affect
certain countries, companies, industries and market sectors more dramatically
than others. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and any other outbreak of an
infectious disease or other serious public health concern could have, a
significant negative impact on economic and market conditions and could trigger
a prolonged period of global economic slowdown. When the value of the Fund's
investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you
could lose money.
•Portfolio
Turnover Risk: Active and frequent trading may lead to the realization and
distribution to shareholders of higher short-term capital gains, which would
increase their tax liability. Frequent trading also increases transaction costs,
which could detract from the Fund’s performance.
•Preferred
Stock Risk:
Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of preferred
stock. Preferred stocks are also subject to credit and default risk, which is
the possibility that an issuer of preferred stock will fail to make its dividend
payments.
•REIT
Risk: Real estate values rise and fall in response to a variety of factors,
including local, regional and national economic conditions, interest rates and
tax considerations. An individual REIT's performance depends on the types and
locations of the rental properties it owns and on how well it manages those
properties.
•Short
Position Risk: The
Fund will engage in short selling, which is significantly different from the
investment activities commonly associated with long-only stock funds. Positions
in shorted securities are speculative and more risky than "long" positions
(purchases) because the cost of the replacement security is unknown. Therefore,
the potential loss on an uncovered short is unlimited, whereas the potential
loss on long positions is limited to the original purchase price. You should be
aware that any strategy that includes selling securities short could suffer
significant losses. Shorting will also result in higher transaction costs (such
as interest and dividends), which reduce the Fund's return, and may result in
higher taxes.
•Small
and Medium Capitalization Company Risk:
Small and mid-sized companies may have limited product lines, markets or
financial resources, and they may be dependent on a limited management group.
Equities of smaller companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market
movements than those of larger, more established companies or the market
averages in general.
•Underlying
Funds Risk:
Underlying Funds are subject to management fees and other expenses, which will
be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund
will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund and may
be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds.
Underlying Funds are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the
fund.
Who
Should Invest in the Fund?
The
Adviser believes the Fund is appropriate for investors seeking long-term capital
appreciation with reduced volatility.
Performance:
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of
the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the
Fund’s Class I shares from year to year and by showing how the one-year,
five-year, ten-year and since inception average annual total returns for the
Fund’s Class I shares compare with that of a broad-based securities index and a
secondary index. The returns in the
bar chart and best/worst quarter are for Class I shares which do not have sales
charges. The performance of Class A and Class C Shares would be lower due to
differing expense structures and sales charges. The
returns in the table reflect the maximum applicable sales load of 5.75% on Class
A shares, and the maximum deferred sales load of 1.00% on Class C shares for the
one-year period. The Fund’s past
performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future and does not guarantee future
results. Net asset value (“NAV”) per share information and
updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at

Portfolio Turnover: The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys
and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio
turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes
when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's
performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 38% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies: The
Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by allocating its assets
primarily among income-producing securities using an "Income" Strategy.
The Income
strategy employed by the Fund's sub-adviser attempts to produce current income
and capital appreciation. The primary focus of this portfolio is exchange traded
“pass-through” securities that distribute substantially all of their profits
directly to their shareholders. The main categories of such securities include
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Master Limited Partnerships (”MLPs”),
Closed End Funds (“CEFs”), Royalty Trusts, and Business Development Companies
(”BDCs”). In addition to such securities, the sub-adviser may include in the
portfolio exchange traded common stocks and bonds, including those issued by
foreign entities. These securities may be of any market capitalization or, in
the case of bonds, any maturity or credit quality. These may include bonds of
higher yield and higher risk, commonly called "junk bonds" that may be rated BB+
and below by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) or similarly
rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization
(“NRSRO”).
To
reduce overall portfolio market risk or security specific risk, the Adviser may
employ hedging strategies. These strategies attempt to mitigate potential losses
in value in certain Fund holdings. The Adviser attempts to hedge risks by
investing long and/or short in exchange-traded futures, ETFs and exchange-traded
and over-the-counter options, selling securities short and entering into swap
contracts. The Adviser takes short positions in equity or interest rate futures
contracts to protect against declines in the equity market and debt market,
respectively. The Adviser may also invest in inverse ETFs (those that are
designed to have price changes that move in the opposite direction of a market
index) to protect against declines in the equity market and debt market. The
Adviser may invest in protective put options that give the Fund the right to
sell a security at a specific price regardless of the decline in the market
price. The Adviser may also combine long and short (written) put and call
options in "spread" transactions that are designed to protect the Fund over a
range of price changes. Short selling is also used to hedge against overall
market or sector price declines. Similarly, swaps contracts (agreements to
exchange payments based on price changes in an index or specific security) are
used to hedge against overall market, sector or security-specific price
declines.
The
composition of the portfolio will vary over time according to the sub-adviser’s
evaluation of economic and market conditions, including prospects for growth and
inflation, as they affect the potential returns from different classes of
securities. This strategic evaluation is combined with fundamental research on
the individual securities considered for inclusion in the portfolio in order to
determine the composition of the portfolio at any point in time. Depending on
market conditions, the Fund’s assets may be solely allocated to its Income
Strategy for significant periods of time.
The
Adviser, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Fund and other funds it
advises or may advise in the future that are each a series of LoCorr Investment
Trust, was granted an exemptive order from the Securities Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) that permits the Adviser, with Board of Trustees approval, to enter
into or amend sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisers without obtaining
shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified within 90 days of the
engagement of an additional sub-adviser or sub-advisers to manage a portion of
the Fund's portfolio.
ADVISER'S
INVESTMENT PROCESS
The
Adviser will pursue the Fund's investment objectives, in part, by utilizing its
investment and risk management process.
The
Adviser buys securities that it believes offer above-average expected returns
and lower-than-average volatility and sells them when it believes they have
reached their target price, to adjust asset allocation or when more attractive
investments are available.
SUB-ADVISER'S
INVESTMENT PROCESS
Bramshill
Investments (“Bramshill”) serves as sub-adviser for the Spectrum Income Fund
with respect to the Fund’s Income strategy. The sub-adviser's approach towards
management of the Income Strategy involves both "top down" and "bottom up"
elements:
•Security
Selection: The
sub-adviser screens for securities with attractive yields, liquidity and
industry classification. The sub-adviser considers criteria including but not
limited to discount to book value, discounted cash flows, discount to the net
asset value, sustainability and/or growth of distributions; quality of
management; and the security’s consistency with the portfolio manager’s
macroeconomic views. High-yielding securities may include non-investment grade
securities.
•Sector
Selection: The
relative concentration of each category of assets is based on the sub-adviser’s
outlook on the economic and inflationary conditions. This evaluation is based on
macroeconomic data and forecasts, as well as technical analysis of market
performance of asset classes.
The totality of this process is intended to produce a portfolio that
offers current and projected yields meaningfully greater than those provided by
broad common stock or investment grade bond indexes. The sub-adviser believes
that its research processes make it likely that those yields will be sustained
or increased, and that there is a reasonable expectation that modest capital
gains can be achieved over a market cycle.
Principal Investment
Risks: As with all
mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your
investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Fund's net asset
value and performance.
The
following risks apply to the Fund's direct investments in securities as well as
the Fund's indirect risks through investing in Underlying Funds. The principal
risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks
and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a
principal risk of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it
appears. It is important to read the provided risk disclosures in their
entirety.
•BDC
Risk: BDCs may carry risks similar to those of a private equity or
venture capital fund. BDC company securities are not redeemable at the option of
the shareholder and they may trade in the market at a discount to their net
asset value. BDCs usually trade at a discount to their net asset value because
they invest in unlisted securities and have limited access to capital markets.
BDCs are subject to management and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid
by the Fund.
•Credit
Risk: There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make
payments on securities and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in
losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the
Fund may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition
changes.
•Derivatives
Risk: Derivatives
are subject to tracking risk because they may not be perfect substitutes for the
instruments they are intended to hedge or replace. Short positions are subject
to potentially unlimited liability. Futures positions held by the Fund may incur
significant losses caused by unanticipated market movements and such losses may
be unlimited. Purchased options may expire worthless. Over the counter
derivatives, such as swaps, are subject to counterparty default. Leverage
inherent in derivatives will tend to magnify the Fund’s
losses.
•Fixed
Income Risk: Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of
fixed income securities owned by the Fund. The value of fixed income securities
typically falls when an issuer's credit quality declines and may even become
worthless if an issuer defaults.
•Foreign
Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S.
investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse
political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility,
less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability and
differing auditing and legal standards. Investing in emerging markets imposes
risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed
countries.
•Hedging
Strategies Risk:
There is no assurance that the Fund will succeed in hedging the underlying
portfolio holdings because the value of the hedging vehicle may not correlate
perfectly with the underlying portfolio asset. The Adviser is not aware of any
security or combination of securities that would provide a perfect hedge to the
Fund's holdings. Each of the hedging strategies has inherent leverage risk that
may tend to magnify the Fund's losses. Derivative contracts, such as futures,
have leverage inherent in their terms because of low margin deposits normally
required. Consequently, a relatively small price movement in the futures
contract reference index may result in an immediate and substantial loss to the
Fund. Over-the-counter instruments, such as swaps and certain purchased options,
are subject to counterparty default risk and liquidity risk. Swap agreements
also involve fees, commissions or other costs that may reduce the Fund's gains
from a swap agreement or may cause the Fund to lose money. The Fund will incur a
loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position
instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and
the date on which an offsetting position is purchased. Short positions may be
considered speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater
reliance on the Adviser's ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a
security or instrument. The Fund's losses are potentially unlimited in a short
position transaction. The Adviser covers hedging positions (buys back, sells or
closes out positions) when it believes market price trends are no longer
unfavorable or security-specific risks are acceptable or when a different
hedging vehicle is more attractive.
•High-Yield
or Junk Bond Risk: Lower-quality convertible debt securities, known as "high yield" or
"junk" bonds, present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an
increased risk of default. These investments are considered speculative. An
economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the
market for these bonds and reduce the Fund's ability to sell its bonds. The lack
of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Fund's share
price.
•Interest
Rates and Bond Maturities Risk: Interest rate changes may adversely affect the market value of an
investment. Fixed-income securities typically decline in value when interest
rates rise. Fixed-income securities typically increase in value when interest
rates decline. The Fund may experience adverse exposure from either increasing
or declining rates. Bonds with longer maturities will be more affected by
interest rate changes than intermediate-term bonds.
•Issuer-Specific
Risk: The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market
as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than those of
larger issuers. The value of certain types of securities can be more volatile
due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market,
or economic developments.
•Liquidity
Risk: Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would
be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such
illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the
Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to
satisfy its obligations.
•Management
Risk: The Adviser's and sub-adviser's judgments about the attractiveness,
value and potential appreciation of particular asset classes and securities in
which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired
results. Additionally, the Adviser's judgments about the potential performance
of the sub-adviser may also prove incorrect and may not produce the desired
results.
•Market
Risk:
Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual instruments
in which the Fund invests. Factors such as domestic and foreign economic growth
and market
conditions, interest rate levels, and political and social events
affect the securities markets. Global economies and financial markets are
increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or
financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or
financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments
adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances,
such risks might affect companies worldwide. Recent examples include pandemic
risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by
governments. The effects of COVID-19 have contributed to increased volatility in
global markets and will likely affect certain countries, companies, industries
and market sectors more dramatically than others. The COVID-19 pandemic has had,
and any other outbreak of an infectious disease or other serious public health
concern could have, a significant negative impact on economic and market
conditions and could trigger a prolonged period of global economic slowdown.
When the value of the Fund's investments goes down, your investment in the Fund
decreases in value and you could lose money.
•Mutual
Fund Risk: Mutual funds are subject to investment advisory fees and other
expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. Mutual funds are subject to
specific risks, depending on the nature of the mutual fund's
strategy.
•Portfolio
Turnover Risk: Active and frequent trading may lead to the realization and
distribution to shareholders of higher short-term capital gains, which would
increase their tax liability. Frequent trading also increases transaction costs,
which could detract from the Fund’s performance.
•Real
Estate Industry Risk:
The Fund's portfolio will be significantly impacted by the performance of the
real estate market generally, and the Fund may be exposed to greater risk and
experience higher volatility than would a more economically diversified
portfolio. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining
rents resulting from economic, legal, cultural, or technological developments.
Real estate company prices also may drop because of the failure of borrowers to
pay their loans and poor management, and residential developers, in particular,
could be negatively impacted by falling home prices, slower mortgage
origination, and rising construction costs. Real estate loans are subject to
prepayment risk because the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the
amount of interest payments.
◦Mezzanine Loan Risk: The terms of
mezzanine loans may restrict transfer of the interests securing such loans,
including an involuntary transfer upon foreclosure, or may require the consent
of the senior lender or other members or partners of or equity holders in the
related real estate company, or may otherwise prohibit a change of control of
the related real estate company. These and other limitations on realization on
the collateral securing a mezzanine loan or the practical limitations on the
availability and effectiveness of such a remedy may affect the likelihood of
repayment in the event of a default.
•REIT
Risk: Real estate values rise and fall in response to a variety of factors,
including local, regional and national economic conditions, interest rates and
tax considerations. An individual REIT's performance depends on the types and
locations of the rental properties it owns and on how well it manages those
properties.
•Royalty
Trust Risk: Royalty trusts are subject to cash-flow fluctuations and revenue
decreases due to a sustained decline in demand for crude oil, natural gas and
refined petroleum products, risks related to economic conditions, higher taxes
or other regulatory actions that increase costs for royalty trusts. Also,
royalty trusts do not guarantee minimum distributions or even return of
capital.
•Small
and Medium Capitalization Stock Risk: The value of small or medium capitalization company common stocks
may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger,
more established companies or the market averages in general.
•Written
Call Option Risk:
Selling covered call options will limit the Fund's gain, if any, on its
underlying securities. The Fund continues to bear the risk of a decline in the
value of its underlying stocks. Option premiums are treated as short-term
capital gains and when distributed
to
shareholders, are usually taxable as ordinary income, which may have a higher
tax rate than long-term capital gains for shareholders holding Fund shares in a
taxable account. Call options involve risks different from, or possibly greater
than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other
traditional investments. These risks include risk of mispricing or improper
valuation and the risk that changes in the value of the call option may not
correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices
are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of
time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets,
including, but not limited to, changing supply and demand relationships;
government programs and policies; national and international political and
economic events, changes in interest rates, inflation and deflation and changes
in supply and demand relationships.
Who
Should Invest in the Fund?
The
Adviser believes the Fund is appropriate for investors seeking current income
and capital appreciation.
Performance:
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of
the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the
Fund’s Class I shares from year to year and by showing how the one-year,
five-year, ten-year and since inception average annual total returns for the
Fund’s Class I shares compare with that of a broad-based securities index and a
secondary index. The returns in the
bar chart and best/worst quarter are for Class I shares which do not have sales
charges. The performance of Class A and Class C Shares would be lower due to
differing expense structures and sales charges. The
returns in the table reflect the maximum applicable sales load of 5.75% on Class
A shares, and the maximum deferred sales load of 1.00% on Class C shares for the
one-year period. The Fund’s past
performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future and does not guarantee future
results. Net asset value (“NAV”) per share information and
updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at

The
Fund's inception date is December 31, 2013, the date to which performance is
measured. The Fund commenced operations on January 1, 2014.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest
individual federal marginal income tax rates and does not reflect the impact of
state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the
individual investor’s situation and may differ from those shown. Furthermore, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to
investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k)
plans or Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”). After-tax returns are shown for Class I shares only and will
vary for Class A and Class C shares. The Fund’s
return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares is greater than its
return after taxes on distributions because it includes a tax benefit resulting
from the capital losses that would have been incurred, and could be utilized
against other capital gains an investor may
have.

Principal
Investment Strategies:
Macro
Strategies Fund
The
Macro Strategies Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by allocating
assets using two principal strategies:
•Managed
Futures
•Fixed
Income
The
Managed Futures strategy is designed to produce capital appreciation by
capturing returns related to the commodity markets. The Managed Futures strategy
directly invests primarily in (i) futures, (ii) forwards, (iii) options, (iv)
spot contracts, and (v) swaps, each of which may be tied to currencies, interest
rates, stock market indices, energy resources, metals, or agricultural products.
The
Fund may also invest in exchange-traded Bitcoin and/or Ether Futures. Bitcoin
and Ether are digital assets, also known as crypto, that can be transferred on a
peer-to-peer basis. The
Fund does not invest directly in or hold Bitcoin or Ether. Unlike
traditional currencies, Crypto is decentralized, meaning that the supply of the
respective crypto is not determined by a central government, but rather by
software protocols that limit both the total amount that will be produced and
the rate at which such crypto is released into its respective market/network.
Each crypto network is a decentralized record of transactions that is kept in
multiple locations and updated by multiple contributors to the network. In
addition, the official ledger or record of who owns what crypto is not
maintained by any central entity, but rather, is maintained by multiple
different independent computers and entities simultaneously. Ownership and
transaction records for crypto are protected through public-key cryptography on
a “blockchain.” Public-key
cryptography
uses a pair of keys to encrypt and decrypt data — a public key and a private
key. The public key can be disclosed to others so that anyone can send encrypted
data to the holder, but that data can only be decrypted with the holder’s
private key.
The
crypto transactions are verified by “miners” for Bitcoin and “validators” for
Ether. These miners and validators operate via networks that connect multiple
computers that run open-source software which follows the rules and procedures
covering each crypto's separate network. With respect to Bitcoin, miners create
new Bitcoin by solving complex math problems that verify transactions in the
digital asset. Miners support the Bitcoin network by adding new blocks of data
on bitcoin transactions to the blockchain. To add bitcoin transactions to the
blockchain, miners’ computers must solve complex equations generated by the
blockchain system. Miners are rewarded with a certain amount of bitcoin
algorithmically determined by the blockchain system for supporting the Bitcoin
network. Similarly, validators, also known as stakers, are responsible for
processing ethereum transactions, storing data related to these transactions,
and adding new blocks of data to the chain. Validators will receive an interest
in the new blocks of chain.
Each
separate crypto network is collectively maintained by developers (who propose
improvements to the protocols) and users. Crypto is a relatively new asset class
and is subject to unique and substantial risks, including the risk that the
value of the Fund’s investments could decline rapidly, including to zero. Crypto
Futures have historically been more volatile than traditional asset
classes.
The
Fund will only invest in cash-settled Crypto Futures. “Cash-settled” means that
when the relevant futures contract expires, if the value of the underlying
digital asset exceeds the futures contract price, the seller pays to the
purchaser cash in the amount of that excess, and if the futures contract price
exceeds the value of the underlying asset, the purchaser pays to the seller cash
in the amount of that excess. For example, in a cash-settled futures contract on
bitcoin, the amount of cash to be paid is equal to the difference between the
value of the bitcoin underlying the futures contract at the close of the last
trading day of the contract and the futures contract price specified in the
agreement. Currently, the only such contracts are traded on, or subject to the
rules of, the CME, a commodity exchange registered with the CFTC.
The
Fund's investments in derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for
securities, interest rates, currencies and commodities and for hedging. To the
extent the Fund uses swaps or structured notes under the Managed Futures
strategy, the investments will generally have payments linked to commodity or
financial derivatives that are designed to produce returns similar to those of
the Underlying Funds and their respective sub-strategies. The Fund does not
invest more than 25% of its assets in contracts with any one counterparty.
Sub-strategies may include investment styles that rely upon buy and sell signals
generated from technical analysis systems such as trend-pattern recognition, as
well as from fundamental economic analysis and relative value comparisons.
Investments made according to the Fund’s strategy will be made without
restriction as to the country.
The
Macro Strategies Fund will execute a portion of its Managed Futures strategy by
directly investing in the Fund or by investing up to 25% of its total assets
(measured at the time of purchase) in the Subsidiary. The Fund or the Subsidiary
will invest the majority of its assets in futures contracts, forward contracts
and other investments (short to medium term investment grade securities)
intended to serve as margin or collateral for such contracts. The Subsidiary is
managed by the Adviser, which selects sub-advisers to assist in the Subsidiary’s
management. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions as the
Fund, when viewed on a consolidated basis. The Fund does not intend to create or
invest to gain primary control in an entity primarily engaged in investment
activities other than the Subsidiary.
The
Adviser anticipates that, based upon its analysis of long-term historical
returns and volatility of various asset classes, the Fund will allocate
approximately 25% of its assets to its Managed Futures strategy, as applicable,
and approximately 75% of its assets to the Fixed Income strategy. However, as
market conditions change, the portion allocated to each strategy may
change.
The
Fixed Income strategy is designed to generate interest income and preserve
principal by investing primarily in investment grade securities including: (1)
obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities, (2) securities issued or guaranteed by foreign
governments,
their political subdivisions or agencies or instrumentalities, (3) bonds, notes,
or similar debt obligations issued by U.S. or foreign corporations or
special-purpose entities backed by corporate debt obligations, (4) ABS, (5) MBS,
(6) CMBS, (7) interest rate-related futures contracts, (8) interest rate-related
or credit default-related swap contracts and (9) money market funds. Each Fund
defines investment grade fixed income securities as those that are rated, at the
time purchased, in the top four categories by a rating agency, such as Moody’s
or S&P, or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality. However, the
fixed income portion of each Fund’s portfolio will be invested without
restriction as to individual issuer country, type of entity, or capitalization.
Futures and swap contracts are used for hedging purposes and as substitutes for
fixed income securities. The Adviser delegates management of the Fund’s Fixed
Income strategy portfolio to a sub-adviser.
The
Fund seeks to achieve its secondary investment objective primarily by (1)
diversifying the Managed Futures strategy investments, as applicable, among
asset classes and sub-strategies that are not expected to have returns that are
highly correlated to each other or the equity or commodities markets, as
applicable, and (2) by selecting Fixed Income strategy investments that are
short-term to medium-term interest income-generating securities (those with
maturities or average lives of less than 10 years) that are expected to be less
volatile than and not highly correlated to the equity or commodities markets or
the Managed Futures strategy, as applicable.
Commodities
Fund
The
Commodities Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating assets
using two principal strategies:
•Commodities
•Fixed
Income
The
Commodities strategy is designed to produce capital appreciation by capturing
returns related to the commodity markets. The Commodities strategy invests
primarily in securities of one or more (1) limited partnerships, (2)
corporations, (3) limited liability companies and (4) other types of pooled
investment vehicles, including commodity pools (collectively, “Underlying
Funds”) and derivative instruments, such as swap contracts, structured notes or
other securities or derivatives, that provide exposure to the managers of
Underlying Funds. Each Underlying Fund invests according to its manager’s
sub-strategy, long or short in one or a combination of: (i) futures, (ii)
forwards, (iii) options, (iv) spot contracts, or (v) swaps, each of which may be
tied to energy resources, metals, and agricultural products. To the extent the
Fund uses swaps or structured notes under the Commodities strategy, the
investments will generally have payments linked to commodity or financial
derivatives that are designed to produce returns similar to those of the
Underlying Funds and their respective sub-strategies. The Fund does not invest
more than 25% of its assets in contracts with any one counterparty.
Sub-strategies may include investment styles that rely upon buy and sell signals
generated from technical analysis systems such as trend-pattern recognition, as
well as from fundamental economic analysis and relative value comparisons.
Investments made according to the Fund’s strategy will be made without
restriction as to the country.
The
Fund may also invest in exchange-traded Bitcoin and/or Ether Futures. Bitcoin
and Ether are digital assets, also known as crypto, that can be transferred on a
peer-to-peer basis. The
Fund does not invest directly in Bitcoin or Ether. Unlike
traditional currencies, Crypto is decentralized, meaning that the supply of the
respective crypto is not determined by a central government, but rather by
software protocols that limit both the total amount that will be produced and
the rate at which such crypto is released into its respective market/network.

The
Fund will only invest in cash-settled Crypto Futures. “Cash-settled” means that
when the relevant futures contract expires, if the value of the underlying
digital asset exceeds the futures contract price, the seller pays to the
purchaser cash in the amount of that excess, and if the futures contract price
exceeds the value of the underlying asset, the purchaser pays to the seller cash
in the amount of that excess. For example, in a cash-settled futures contract on
bitcoin, the amount of cash to be paid is equal to the difference between the
value of the bitcoin underlying the futures contract at the close of the last
trading day of the contract and the futures contract price specified in the
agreement. Currently, the only such contracts are traded on, or subject to the
rules of, the CME, a commodity exchange registered with the CFTC.
The
Commodities Fund will execute its Commodities strategy primarily by investing up
to 25% of the Fund’s total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in the
Subsidiary. The Subsidiary will invest the majority of its assets in one or more
Underlying Funds, swap contracts, structured notes and other investments
intended to serve as margin or collateral for derivative positions. The
Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions as the Fund.
The
Fund does not intend to create or invest to gain primary control in an entity
primarily engaged in investment activities other than the
Subsidiary.
To
the extent that the Adviser is utilizing derivatives to gain exposure to
managers, it is anticipated that the Commodities Fund will use a swap designed
to replicate the aggregate returns of the managers selected by the Adviser. The
swap is based on a notional amount agreed upon by the Adviser and the
counterparty. The Adviser may add or remove managers from the swap or adjust the
notional exposure between the managers within the swap. Generally, the fees and
expenses of the swap are based on the notional value. The Index is calculated by
the counterparty to the Swap and includes a deduction for fees of the
counterparty as well as management and performance fees of the managers. Because
the Index is designed to replicate the returns of managers selected by the
Adviser, the performance of the Fund will depend on the ability of the managers
to generate returns in excess of the costs of the Index.
The
Adviser anticipates that, based upon its analysis of long-term historical
returns and volatility of various asset classes, the Fund will allocate
approximately 25% of its assets to its Commodities strategy and approximately
75% of its assets to the Fixed Income strategy. However, as market conditions
change, the portion allocated to each strategy may change.
The
Fixed Income strategy is designed to generate interest income and preserve
principal by investing primarily in investment grade securities including: (1)
obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities, (2) securities issued or guaranteed by foreign
governments, their political subdivisions or agencies or instrumentalities, (3)
bonds, notes, or similar debt obligations issued by U.S. or foreign corporations
or special-purpose entities backed by corporate debt obligations, (4) ABS, (5)
MBS, (6) CMBS, (7) interest rate-related futures contracts, (8) interest
rate-related or credit default-related swap contracts and (9) money market
funds. Each Fund defines investment grade fixed income securities as those that
are rated, at the time purchased, in the top four categories by a rating agency,
such as Moody’s or S&P, or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable
quality. However, the fixed income portion of each Fund’s portfolio will be
invested without restriction as to
individual
issuer country, type of entity, or capitalization. Futures and swap contracts
are used for hedging purposes and as substitutes for fixed income securities.
The Adviser delegates management of the Fund’s Fixed Income strategy portfolio
to a sub-adviser.
The
Fund seeks to achieve its secondary investment objective primarily by (1)
diversifying the Commodities strategy investments among asset classes and
sub-strategies that are not expected to have returns that are highly correlated
to each other or the equity or commodities markets, as applicable, and (2) by
selecting Fixed Income strategy investments that are short-term to medium-term
interest income-generating securities (those with maturities or average lives of
less than 10 years) that are expected to be less volatile than and not highly
correlated to the equity or commodities markets or the Commodities strategy.
Market
Trend Fund
The
Market Trend Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by allocating its
assets using two principal strategies:
•"Market
Trend" Strategy
•"Fixed
Income" Strategy
The
Market Trend strategy is a macro-oriented quantitative strategy that employs
various investment techniques to select long and short positions in the global
futures and foreign exchange markets. These techniques are designed to produce
attractive absolute and risk-adjusted returns while maintaining low correlation
to traditional asset classes. The Market Trend strategy is a quantitative
trading system driven by trend-following models. The program signals buy and
sell orders based on a number of factors, including price, volatility, and
length of time a position has been held in the portfolio, and employs
sophisticated techniques to gradually enter and exit positions over the course
of a trend in order to maximize profit opportunities. It is expected that the
average holding period of instruments traded pursuant to the Market Trend
strategy will be approximately 50 days; however, that average may differ
depending on various factors and the program will make daily adjustments to
positions based on both price activity and market volatility. The Fund's Adviser
delegates management of the Fund's Market Trend strategy portfolio to a
sub-adviser, GCM.
The
program trades in a broad range of markets, including global interest rates,
foreign exchange, global stock indices and commodities. When trading derivative
instruments, such as futures or forward contracts, the Fund is only required to
post initial or variation margin with the exchange or clearing broker. The use
of margin in trading these instruments has the effect of creating leverage,
which can expose the Fund to substantial gains or losses occurring from
relatively small price changes in the value of the underlying instrument and can
increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. Volatility is a statistical
measure of the dispersion of returns of an investment, where higher volatility
generally indicates greater risk. GCM employs macro-oriented quantitative
investment techniques to select long and short positions in the global futures
and foreign exchange markets. These techniques are designed to produce
attractive absolute and risk-adjusted returns while maintaining low correlation
to traditional asset classes. GCM expects the average holding period of
instruments traded pursuant to the Market Trend strategy, will be approximately
50 days, although the daily adjustments will be made to positions based on both
price activity and market volatility.
The
Fund will execute a portion of its Market Trend strategy by directly investing
in the Fund or by investing up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time
of purchase) in the Subsidiary. The Fund or the Subsidiary will invest the
majority of its assets in futures contracts and forward contracts and other
investments (short to medium term investment grade securities) intended to serve
as margin or collateral for such contracts. The Subsidiary is managed by the
Adviser and sub-advised by GCM and is subject to the same investment
restrictions as the Fund, when viewed on a consolidated basis. The
Fund does not intend to create or invest to gain primary control in an entity
primarily engaged in investment activities other than the
Subsidiary.
The
Fixed Income strategy is designed to generate interest income and preserve
principal by investing primarily in investment grade securities including: (1)
obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities, (2) securities issued or guaranteed by foreign
governments, their political subdivisions or agencies or instrumentalities, (3)
bonds, notes, or similar debt obligations issued by U.S. or foreign corporations
or special-purpose entities backed by corporate debt obligations, (4) U.S. ABS,
(5) U.S. residential MBS, (6) U.S. CMBS, (7) interest rate-related futures
contracts, (8) interest rate-related or credit default swap contracts and (9)
money market funds. The Fund defines investment grade fixed income securities as
those that are rated, at the time purchased, in the top four categories by a
rating agency such as Moody's or S&P, or, if unrated, determined to be of
comparable quality. However, the fixed income portion of the Fund's portfolio
will be invested without restriction as to individual issuer country, type of
entity, or capitalization. Futures and swap contracts are used for hedging
purposes and as substitutes for fixed income securities. The Fund's Adviser
delegates management of the Fund's Fixed Income strategy portfolio to a
sub-adviser, Nuveen.
The
Fund seeks to achieve its secondary investment objective primarily by (1)
diversifying the Market Trend strategy investments, as applicable, among asset
classes and sub-strategies that are not expected to have returns that are highly
correlated to each other or the equity or commodities markets, as applicable,
and (2) by selecting Fixed Income strategy investments that are short-term to
medium-term interest income-generating securities (those with maturities or
average lives of less than 10 years) that are expected to be less volatile than
and not highly correlated to the equity or commodities markets or the Market
Trend strategy, as applicable.
The
Adviser anticipates that, based upon its analysis of long-term historical
returns and volatility of various asset classes, the Fund will allocate
approximately 25% of its assets to its Market Trend strategy, as applicable, and
approximately 75% of its assets to the Fixed Income strategy. However, as market
conditions change the portion allocated to each strategy may change.
Notwithstanding such allocation of assets, Fund returns are expected to
primarily reflect the returns of the Market Trend strategy given its higher
expected volatility.
The
Fund may invest in short-term investment grade fixed income securities and money
market funds for cash management purposes. The Fund defines investment grade
fixed income securities as those that are rated, at the time purchased, in the
top four categories by a rating agency such as Moody’s or S&P, or, if
unrated, determined to be of comparable quality.
The
Adviser and the LoCorr Funds were granted an exemptive order from the SEC that
permits the Adviser, with the Board of Trustees approval, to enter into or amend
sub-advisory agreements without obtaining shareholder approval. The order
eliminates the need for a shareholder meeting to approve sub-advisors.
Shareholders will be notified if a new sub-adviser is employed by the
Adviser.
It
is the responsibility of the sub-advisers, under the direction of the Adviser,
to make day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund. The sub-advisers also
place purchase and sell orders for portfolio transactions of the Fund in
accordance with the Fund's investment objective and policies.
Dynamic
Opportunity Fund
Under
normal market conditions, the Dynamic Opportunity Fund invests in long or short
positions in equity securities of domestic and foreign companies. The Fund
defines equity securities as (1) common stocks, (2) preferred stocks and (3)
debt securities that are convertible into stock. The Fund invests in securities
of issuers without restriction as to capitalization or country, including
emerging markets. The Fund invests in convertible debt securities of any
maturity or credit quality, including those known as "junk bonds." Junk bonds
are rated below Baa3 by Moody's or equivalently by another NRSRO. The Fund may
invest a portion of its assets in private placement offerings which may be
illiquid.
The
Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund's primary investment objective of long-term
capital appreciation by using a "long/short equity" strategy that is executed by
allocating assets to a sub-adviser that has a long/short equity investment
strategy. The Adviser may also engage an additional sub-adviser or sub-advisers
if it believes they will enhance the Fund’s performance or reduce volatility.
The Adviser will also use one or more ETFs to execute a portion of the
long/short equity strategy rather than allocate assets to a sub-
adviser,
when it believes that doing so will help the Fund achieve its investment
objective. The Fund anticipates reduced return volatility when compared to
traditional broad-based equity market indices because the short element of its
strategies is expected to produce a hedging effect.
Spectrum
Income Fund
The
Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by allocating assets primarily
among income-producing securities using an "income" strategy.
The
Income strategy employed by the Fund's sub-adviser attempts to produce current
income and capital appreciation. The primary focus of this portfolio is exchange
traded "pass-through" securities that distribute substantially all of their
profits directly to their shareholders. The main categories of such securities
include REITs, MLPs, CEFs, Royalty Trusts, and BDCs. In addition to such
securities, the sub-adviser may include in the portfolio exchange traded common
stocks and bonds, including those issued by foreign entities. These securities
may be of any market capitalization or, in the case of bonds, any maturity or
credit quality. These may include bonds of higher yield and higher risk,
commonly called "junk bonds" that may be rated BB+ and below by S&P or
similarly rated by another NRSRO.
To
reduce overall portfolio market risk or security specific risk, the Adviser may
employ hedging strategies. These strategies attempt to mitigate potential losses
in value in certain Fund holdings. The Adviser attempts to hedge risks by
investing long and/or short in exchange-traded futures, ETFs and exchange-traded
and over-the-counter options, selling securities short and entering into swap
contracts. The Adviser takes short positions in equity or interest rate futures
contracts to protect against declines in the equity market and debt market,
respectively. The Adviser may also invest in inverse ETFs (those that are
designed to have price changes that move in the opposite direction of a market
index) to protect against declines in the equity market and debt market. The
Adviser may invest in protective put options that give the Fund the right to
sell a security at a specific price regardless of the decline in the market
price. The Adviser may also combine long and short (written) put and call
options in "spread" transactions that are designed to protect the Fund over a
range of price changes. Short selling is also used to hedge against overall
market or sector price declines. Similarly, swaps contracts (agreements to
exchange payments based on price changes in an index or specific security) are
used to hedge against overall market, sector or security-specific price
declines.
The
composition of the portfolio will vary over time according to the sub-adviser’s
evaluation of economic and market conditions, including prospects for growth and
inflation, as they affect the potential returns from different classes of
securities. This strategic evaluation is combined with fundamental research on
the individual securities considered for inclusion in the portfolio in order to
determine the composition of the portfolio at any point in time. Depending on
market conditions, the Fund’s assets may be solely allocated to its Income
Strategy for significant periods of time.
Non-Principal
Investment Strategy.
As a non-principal investment strategy, the Adviser may employ a loan investment
strategy (the “Loan Investment Strategy”). The Loan Investment Strategy is
designed to produce current income and capital appreciation through investment
in Underlying Funds including (1) limited partnerships, (2) corporations, (3)
limited liability companies and (4) other types of pooled investment vehicles
focused on the origination, funding and structuring of real estate-related
loans, including mezzanine loans, first and second mortgage loans, subordinated
mortgage loans, bridge loans, and other loans related to high quality commercial
real estate in the U.S., as well as through the acquisition of equity
participations in the real estate, which serves as underlying collateral of such
loans, and preferred equity investments. Underlying Funds may hold loans of any
maturity or quality.
The
Adviser will seek to invest in Underlying Funds that generate a low volatility
income stream of attractive and consistent cash distributions. The Adviser's
focus on Underlying Funds that originate and acquire debt and debt-like
instruments will emphasize the payment of current returns to investors and the
preservation of invested capital. The Adviser also believes that the investments
made under the Loan Investment Strategy may offer the potential for capital
appreciation.
The
Adviser will invest in Underlying Funds that mainly aim to:
•focus
on the origination of new loans;
•invest
in fixed rate rather than floating rate loans;
•invest
in loans expected to be realized within one to five years;
•maximize
current income;
•lend
to creditworthy borrowers;
•lend
on properties leased to high-quality tenants;
•maximize
diversification by property type, geographic location, tenancy and
borrower;
•source
investments in existing loans;
•focus
on small to mid-sized loans of approximately $3 million to $20
million;
•invest
in loans not exceeding 80% of the current value of the underlying property;
and
•hold
investments until maturity unless, in the manager's judgment, market conditions
warrant earlier disposition.
All
Funds
The
Funds may invest in short-term investment grade fixed income securities and
money market funds for cash management purposes. The Funds define investment
grade fixed income securities as those that are rated, at the time purchased, in
the top four categories by a rating agency such as Moody’s or S&P, or, if
unrated, determined to be of comparable quality.
The
Adviser and the LoCorr Funds were granted an exemptive order from the Securities
and Exchange Commission that permits the Adviser, with the Board’s approval, to
enter into or amend sub-advisory agreements without obtaining shareholder
approval. The order eliminates the need for a shareholder meeting to approve
sub-advisors. Shareholders will be notified if a new sub-adviser is employed by
the Adviser.
It
is the responsibility of the sub-advisers, under the direction of the Adviser,
to make the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund. The sub-advisers also
place purchase and sell orders for portfolio transactions of the Fund in
accordance with the Fund's investment objective and policies.
ADVISER’S
INVESTMENT PROCESS
Macro
Strategies Fund
The
Adviser will pursue the Macro Strategies Fund’s investment objectives, in part,
by utilizing its investment and risk management process.
•Sub-adviser
Selection
represents the process through which the Adviser selects sub-advisers it
believes can successfully execute the Fund's overall investment strategies. The
Adviser also monitors and evaluates the performance of the sub-advisers; and
implements procedures to ensure each sub-adviser complies with the Fund's
investment policies and restrictions.
•Risk
Management
represents the ongoing attention to the historical return performance of each
Underlying Fund as well as the interaction or correlation of returns between
Underlying Funds. Using this risk management process, the Adviser believes each
Fund, over time, will not be highly correlated to the equity or commodities
markets, as applicable, and will provide the potential for reducing volatility
in investors’ portfolios.
Commodities
Fund
The
Adviser will pursue the Commodities Fund’s investment objectives, in part, by
utilizing its investment and risk management process.
•Underlying
Fund Selection
by the Adviser, or including an Underlying Fund in a derivative investment
designed to replicate the returns of an Underlying Fund, represents the result
of quantitative and qualitative reviews that identify Underlying Funds and their
managers chosen for their alternative investment market niche (investments other
than stocks and bonds), historical performance, management accessibility,
commitment, investment strategy, as well as process and methodology. Using this
selection process, the Adviser believes it can identify Underlying Funds with
above-average expected returns and lower-than-average volatility.
•Risk
Management
represents the ongoing attention to the historical return performance of each
Underlying Fund as well as the interaction or correlation of returns between
Underlying Funds. Using this risk management process, the Adviser believes each
Fund, over time, will not be highly correlated to the equity or commodities
markets, as applicable, and will provide the potential for reducing volatility
in investors’ portfolios.
The
Adviser buys securities that it believes offer above-average expected returns
and lower-than-average volatility and sells them when it believes they have
reached their target price, to adjust asset allocation or when more attractive
investments are available.
Market
Trend Fund
The
Adviser will pursue the Fund's investment objectives, in part, by utilizing its
sub-adviser selection and risk management process.
•Sub-adviser
Selection.
The Adviser selects sub-advisers it believes can successfully execute the Fund's
overall investment strategies. The Adviser also monitors and evaluates the
performance of the sub-advisers; and implements procedures to ensure each
sub-adviser complies with the Fund's investment policies and
restrictions.
•Risk
Management.
The Adviser manages the expected volatility of the Fund's returns by monitoring
the interaction and correlation of the returns between the Market Trend and
Fixed Income strategies. Using this risk management process, the Adviser
believes the Fund's returns, over time, will not be highly correlated to the
equity markets and will provide the potential for reducing volatility in
investors' portfolios. The Adviser may also conduct further analysis to assess
securities and investments. The Adviser's quantitative analysis utilizes
historical market price data and forecasts to assess correlation of returns and
volatility.
Dynamic
Opportunity Fund
The
Adviser will pursue the Dynamic Opportunity Fund’s investment objectives, in
part, by utilizing its investment and risk management process.
Sub-adviser
Selection
represents the result of quantitative and qualitative reviews that identify a
sub-adviser chosen for its long/short equity market niche, historical
performance, management accessibility, commitment, investment strategy, as well
as process and methodology. Using this selection process, the Adviser believes
it can identify a sub-adviser or sub-advisers that can produce above-average
expected returns. The Adviser replaces a sub-adviser when its returns are below
expectations or it deviates from its traditional investment
process.
These
equity long/short strategies are designed to take long and short positions by
trading in equity securities of U.S. and foreign issuers in an attempt to
achieve capital appreciation. These long/short strategies include the
following:
•Generalist.
Generalist strategies maintain positions both long and short in equity
securities of any industry sector or country.
•Sector-Focused.
Sector-focused strategies employ investment processes designed to identify long
and short opportunities in securities in specific niche areas of the market in
which the sub-adviser maintains a level of expertise which exceeds that of a
market generalist in identifying companies
engaged
in the production and procurement of inputs to industrial processes, and
implicitly sensitive to the direction of price trends as determined by shifts in
supply and demand factors, and implicitly sensitive to the direction of broader
economic trends.
•International.
International strategies employ investment processes designed to identify long
and short opportunities in securities in specific niche areas of the global
non-U.S. market, in which the sub-adviser maintains a level of expertise which
exceeds that of a market generalist in identifying companies engaged in the
production and procurement of inputs to industrial processes, and implicitly
sensitive to the direction of price trends as determined by shifts in supply and
demand factors, and implicitly sensitive to the direction of broader economic
trends.
Variable Biased Strategies.
Variable Biased strategies may vary the investment level or the level of long
and/or short exposure over market cycles, but the primary distinguishing
characteristic is that the sub-adviser seeks to drive performance through
tactical adjustments to gross and net market exposures.
Risk
Management represents the ongoing attention to the historical return performance
of a long/short equity sub-adviser as well as the interaction or correlation of
returns between long/short equity strategies. The Adviser believes that
selecting a sub-adviser through this process may mitigate losses in generally
declining markets because the Fund will be invested utilizing strategies that
are not correlated to general market trends. However, there can be no assurance
that losses will be avoided. Investment strategies that have historically been
non-correlated to general market trends or have demonstrated low correlations to
general market trends may become correlated at certain times, such as during a
liquidity crisis in global financial markets. During such periods, certain
hedging strategies may cease to function as anticipated.

SUB-ADVISER’S
INVESTMENT PROCESS
Macro
Strategies Fund
GCM
serves as a sub-adviser to the Macro Strategies Fund. GCM executes the strategy
within the Macro Strategies Fund by employing macro-oriented quantitative
investment techniques to select long and short positions in the global futures
and foreign exchange markets. These techniques are designed to produce
attractive absolute and risk-adjusted returns while maintaining low correlation
to traditional asset classes. The strategy within the Macro Strategies Fund is a
quantitative trading system driven by trend-following models. This program
signals buy and sell orders based on a number of factors, including price,
volatility, and length of time a position has been held in the portfolio. The
strategy employs sophisticated techniques to gradually enter and exit positions
over the course of a trend in order to maximize profit opportunities. It is
expected that the average holding period of instruments traded pursuant to the
strategy within the Macro Strategies Fund will be approximately six to eight
weeks; however, that average may differ depending on various factors and the
system will make daily adjustments to positions based on both price activity and
market volatility. The program trades a broad range of markets, including global
interest rates, foreign exchange, global stock indices and
commodities.
The
strategy executed by GCM within the Macro Strategies Fund utilizes a risk
overlay model to better control exposure across individual markets and sectors
and avoid excessive concentration of investments
in
a particular market or sector. The overlay model applies sophisticated risk
management techniques to the trading signals generated by the sub-models of the
strategy within the Macro Strategies Fund to enhance the returns of a
conventional momentum model. The risk overlay model is designed to diversify
risk across markets and sectors, smooth the volatility of the portfolio and
lower execution costs by reducing excessive trading.
Millburn
serves as a sub-adviser to the Macro Strategies Fund. Millburn invests in a
diversified portfolio of futures, forward and spot contracts (and may also
invest in option and swap contracts) on currencies, interest rate instruments,
stock indices, metals, energy and agricultural commodities. Millburn invests
globally pursuant to its proprietary quantitative and systematic trading
methodology, based upon signals generated from an analysis of price,
price-derivatives, fundamental and other quantitative data. Millburn’s trading
methods include technical trend analysis, certain non-traditional technical
systems (i.e., systems falling outside of traditional technical trend analysis)
and money management principles, each of which may be revised from time to time.
The objective of Millburn’s investment and trading methods is to consider
multiple data inputs, or “factors,” in order to arrive at relatively near-term
return forecasts for each traded instrument, and take appropriate, risk-managed
positions. Millburn’s approach employs models that analyze data inputs over a
time spectrum from several minutes to multiple years.
Millburn
manages its allocated Fund assets by seeking to construct maximum
diversification subject to liquidity and sector concentration constraints. Each
market is traded using a diversified set of trading systems, which may be
optimized for groups of markets, sectors or specific markets. The following
factors, among others, are considered in constructing a universe of markets to
trade: profitability, liquidity of markets, professional judgment, desired
diversification, transaction costs, exchange regulations and depth of market.
Risk
management also plays an integral role in portfolio design and construction.
Millburn sizes the position in each market traded, taking into account its
measurement of risk based on price level and volatility in that market. Market
exposure is then managed by position-sizing models, which measure the risk in
the portfolio’s position in each market. In the event the model determines that
the risk has changed beyond an acceptable threshold, it will signal a change in
the position — a decrease in position size when risk increases and an increase
in position size when risk decreases. Utilizing its position-sizing models,
Millburn seeks to maintain overall portfolio risk and distribution of risk
across markets within designated ranges.
Revolution
serves as a sub-adviser to the Macro Strategies Fund. Revolution focuses on
short-term, systematic and quantitative trading, applying rigorous statistical
analysis to all aspects of research, development, and operations. The systems
are designed in order to provide superior risk-adjusted returns while
maintaining low correlations both to traditional equity and bond investments as
well as the trend-following strategies often employed by commodity trading
advisors. Revolution manages its allocated Fund assets by seeking to implement a
fully-diversified, short- to medium-term, multi-strategy program, utilizing
pattern-recognition methodology. Trade durations range from hours to weeks, with
an average six-day holding period. The diversified market set includes equity
indices, interest rates, currencies, energies, metals, and agricultural
instruments, and return volatility is targeted to 12% on an annualized
basis.
Due
to the short-term nature of the trading, signal generation and trade execution
are performed on a fully-automated basis throughout each trading day, but with
full human oversight. Sophisticated execution algorithms have been designed to
minimize transactional costs, and execution efficiency is continually monitored
and improved when possible.
Niederhoffer
serves as one of the Fund’s sub-advisers. Niederhoffer provides asset management
services for the Fund using its Smart Alpha Program. The R.G. Niederhoffer Smart
Alpha Program seeks to achieve three key objectives: (1) Stable absolute returns
regardless of market environment, with zero correlation to Fixed Income,
Equities and Hedge Funds; (2) Strong, consistent downside and upside protection
for portfolios containing Global Bonds, Global Equities, Hedge Funds, and CTAs,
and (3) Daily/monthly liquidity and high transparency.
The
manager's 30 years of research into how behavioral biases affect financial
markets has identified over 60 situations in which markets are predictable. To
extract these unique sources of alpha, the firm's trading systems
algorithmically generate investments, 24 hours a day, on both the long and short
side, in the world's most liquid futures and F/X markets, with trade durations
averaging 1.5 days. The strategy has performed particularly well in volatile
market conditions when investors are most susceptible to biased, predictable
behavior. Because of this, historically, the strategy has typically performed
better during periods of heightened market volatility.
Nuveen,
serves as a sub-adviser to the Macro Strategies Fund, selects securities for the
Fund’s Fixed Income strategy using a “top-down” approach that begins with the
formulation of Nuveen’s general economic outlook. Following this, various
sectors and industries are analyzed and selected for investment. Finally, Nuveen
selects individual securities within these sectors or industries that it
believes have above peer-group expected yield, potential for capital
preservation or appreciation. In addition to selecting more traditional
investments such as government and corporate bonds, Nuveen also selects ABS,
MBS, CMBS and derivatives when it believes these investments offer higher yield
or better prospects for capital preservation or appreciation than competing
investments.
MBS
in which the Macro Strategies Fund may invest represent participation interests
in pools of one-to-four family residential mortgage loans originated by private
mortgage originators, as well as multi-family residential loans. CMBS represent
participation interests in pools of commercial property mortgage loans
originated by private mortgage originators. ABS represent interests in pools of
loans originated by private lenders, some of which may be government approved or
affiliated lenders. Typically, an asset-backed security is issued by a special
purpose vehicle (“SPV”), such as a business trust or limited liability company,
whose value and income payments are derived from and collateralized (i.e.
backed) by a specified pool of underlying loans. The pool of loans is usually a
group of small-dollar amount loans taken for the same or similar purpose, such
as student loans, car loans, or credit card loans, but could include cash flows
from loans on aircraft, royalty payments and movie revenues.
Nuveen
will use credit default swaps (“CDS”) as part of a replication tactic whereby
the Macro Strategies Fund combines a credit default swap on a portfolio of bonds
or a single bond with investments in high quality securities, such as U.S.
Treasury bills, as an economic substitute for a portfolio of bonds or an
individual bond. The sub-adviser may also use CDS to protect against the
economic effect of an issuer’s default. A CDS is typically a two-party
(bilateral) financial contract that transfers credit risk exposure between the
two parties. The Macro Strategies Fund will enter into a CDS by executing an
International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreement, which
provides globally-accepted standardized legal documentation for a variety of
swap transactions including CDS. One party to a CDS (referred to as the credit
protection “buyer”) receives credit protection or sheds credit risk, whereas the
other party to a CDS (referred to as the credit protection “seller”) is selling
credit protection or taking on credit risk. The seller typically receives
pre-determined periodic payments from the other party. These payments are in
consideration for agreeing to make compensating specific payments to the buyer
should a negative credit event occur, such as (1) bankruptcy or (2) failure to
pay interest or principal on a reference debt instrument or one of the reference
issuers in a CDS portfolio. In general, CDS may be used by the Macro Strategies
Fund to obtain credit risk exposure similar to that of a direct investment in
bonds.
Nuveen
uses futures contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge or manage the Fund’s
interest rate risk exposure. To reduce interest rate risk, the Fund will take a
short position in an interest rate-related futures contract or a similar
position in an interest rate swap contract whereby the Macro Strategies Fund
agrees to make fixed payments in exchange for receiving floating rate payments
that reset according to a reference index such as the London Interbank Offered
Rate (“LIBOR”). The Macro Strategies Fund may also take long positions in
futures or swaps to fine-tune or adjust its portfolio interest rate risk
profile.
Generally,
Nuveen selects futures and swaps to hedge interest rate and credit risks and as
substitutes for securities when it believes derivatives provide a better return
profile or when specific securities are temporarily unavailable. Nuveen sells
securities and derivatives to adjust interest rate risk, adjust credit risk,
when a price target is reached, or when a security’s or derivative’s price
outlook is deteriorating.
Macro
Strategies Fund Subsidiary
The
Macro Strategies Fund will execute its Managed Futures strategy, primarily, by
investing up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in
the Managed Futures strategy, part of which will be invested by the Fund’s
sub-advisers and part of which will be invested in a wholly-owned and controlled
Subsidiary. The Subsidiary will invest the majority of its assets in futures,
forwards, options, spot contracts, swap contracts, structured notes and other
investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for derivative positions.
However, the Fund may also make Managed Futures investments outside of the
Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions as the
Fund. By investing in commodities indirectly through the Subsidiary, the Fund
will obtain exposure to the commodities markets within the federal tax
requirements that apply to the Fund. Specifically, the Subsidiary is expected to
provide the Fund with exposure to the commodities markets within the limitations
of the federal tax requirements of Subchapter M of the Code. Subchapter M
requires, among other things, that at least 90% of the Fund's income be derived
from securities or derived with respect to its business of investing in
securities (typically referred to as "qualifying income"). The Fund will make
investments in certain commodity-linked derivatives through the Subsidiary
because income from these derivatives is not treated as "qualifying income" for
purposes of the 90% income requirement if the Fund invests in the derivative
directly.
The
IRS has issued a number of private letter rulings to other mutual funds
(including the Macro Strategies Fund and mutual funds unrelated to the Fund),
which indicate that certain income from a fund's investment in a wholly-owned
foreign subsidiary will constitute "qualifying income" for purposes of
Subchapter M. The Macro Strategies Fund is relying on a private letter ruling
from the IRS, which indicates that income from the Fund’s investment in the
Subsidiary will constitute “qualifying income” for purposes of Subchapter M. To
satisfy the 90% income requirement, the Subsidiary will, no less than annually,
declare and distribute a dividend to the Fund, as the sole shareholder of the
Subsidiary, in an amount approximately equal to the total amount of “Subpart F”
income (as defined in Section 951 of the Code) generated by or expected to be
generated by the Subsidiary’s investments during the fiscal year. Such dividend
distributions are “qualifying income” pursuant to Subchapter M (Section 851(b))
of the Code.
The
IRS has proposed regulations signaling its intent to stop issuing further
private letter rulings regarding qualifying income from wholly-owned foreign
subsidiaries and, if these regulations are passed in substantially the form as
proposed, the IRS may revoke all outstanding private letter rulings on this
issue. As a result, the IRS may no longer consider the income from the Fund’s
investment in the Subsidiary to be qualifying income, and the Fund may not
qualify as a registered investment company for one or more years. However, the
Fund intends to take the position that income from its investments in the
Subsidiary will constitute “qualifying income,” and the Fund will take care to
ensure that the Subsidiary distributes all of its Subpart F income to the Fund
each year so as to preserve its status as a registered investment company. In
addition, future legislation, Treasury Regulations or IRS guidance could
adversely affect the ability of the Fund or the Subsidiary to operate as
described in this Prospectus.
Because
the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in the Subsidiary, which
may hold some of the investments described in this Prospectus, the Fund may be
considered to be investing indirectly in some of those investments through its
Subsidiary. For that reason, references to the Fund may also include the
Subsidiary. The Subsidiary will be subject to the same investment restrictions
and limitations, and follow the same compliance policies and procedures, as the
Fund.
The
Fund and the Subsidiary are “commodity pools” under the U.S. Commodity Exchange
Act, and the advisor is a “commodity pool operator” registered with and
regulated by the CFTC. As a result, additional CFTC-mandated disclosure,
reporting and recordkeeping obligations apply with respect to the Fund and the
Subsidiary under CFTC and SEC harmonized regulations.
Commodities
Fund
Nuveen
also serves as a sub-adviser to the Commodities Fund using the same investment
strategy described above for the Macro Strategies Fund.
Commodities
Fund Subsidiary
The
Commodities Fund will execute its Commodities strategy, primarily, by investing
up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in a
wholly-owned and controlled Subsidiary. The Subsidiary will invest the majority
of its assets in one or more Underlying Funds, swap contracts, structured notes
and other investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for derivative
positions. However, the Fund may also make Commodities strategy investments
outside of the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment
restrictions as the Fund. By investing in commodities indirectly through the
Subsidiary, the Fund will obtain exposure to the commodities markets within the
federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. Specifically, the Subsidiary is
expected to provide the Fund with exposure to the commodities markets within the
limitations of the federal tax requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.
Sub-chapter M requires, among other things, that at least 90% of the Fund's
income be derived from securities or derived with respect to its business of
investing in securities (typically referred to as "qualifying income"). The Fund
will make investments in certain commodity-linked derivatives through the
Subsidiary because income from these derivatives is not treated as "qualifying
income" for purposes of the 90% income requirement if the Fund invests in the
derivative directly.
The
IRS has issued a number of private letter rulings to other mutual funds
(including the Macro Strategies Fund and mutual funds unrelated to the Fund),
which indicate that certain income from a fund's investment in a wholly-owned
foreign subsidiary will constitute "qualifying income" for purposes of
Subchapter M. The Fund does not have a private letter ruling, but fully intends
to comply with the IRS’ rules if the IRS were to change its position. To satisfy
the 90% income requirement, the Subsidiary will, no less than annually, declare
and distribute a dividend to the Fund, as the sole shareholder of the
Subsidiary, in an amount approximately equal to the total amount of “Subpart F”
income (as defined in Section 951 of the Code) generated by or expected to be
generated by the Subsidiary’s investments during the fiscal year. Such dividend
distributions are “qualifying income” pursuant to Subchapter M (Section 851(b))
of the Code.
The
IRS has proposed regulations signaling its intent to stop issuing further
private letter rulings regarding qualifying income from wholly-owned foreign
subsidiaries and, if these regulations are passed in substantially the form as
proposed, the IRS may revoke all outstanding private letter rulings on this
issue. As a result, the IRS may no longer consider the income from the Fund’s
investment in the Subsidiary to be qualifying income, and the Fund may not
qualify as a registered investment company for one or more years. However, the
Fund intends to take the position that income from its investments in the
Subsidiary will constitute “qualifying income,” and the Fund will take care to
ensure that the Subsidiary distributes all of its Subpart F income to the Fund
each year so as to preserve its status as a registered investment company. In
addition, future legislation, Treasury Regulations or IRS guidance could
adversely affect the ability of the Fund or the Subsidiary to operate as
described in this Prospectus.
Because
the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in the Subsidiary, which
may hold some of the investments described in this Prospectus, the Fund may be
considered to be investing indirectly in some of those investments through its
Subsidiary. For that reason, references to the Fund may also include the
Subsidiary. The Subsidiary will be subject to the same investment restrictions
and limitations, and follow the same compliance policies and procedures, as the
Fund.
The
Fund and the Subsidiary are “commodity pools” under the U.S. Commodity Exchange
Act, and the Adviser is a “commodity pool operator” registered with and
regulated by the CFTC. As a result, additional CFTC-mandated disclosure,
reporting and recordkeeping obligations apply with respect to the Fund and the
Subsidiary under CFTC and SEC harmonized regulations.
Market
Trend Fund
Graham
Capital Management, L.P.
GCM
executes the Market Trend strategy by employing macro-oriented quantitative
investment techniques to select long and short positions in the global futures
and foreign exchange markets. These techniques are designed to produce
attractive absolute and risk-adjusted returns while maintaining low
correlation
to traditional asset classes. The Market Trend strategy is a quantitative
trading system driven by trend-following models. This program signals buy and
sell orders based on a number of factors, including price, volatility, and
length of time a position has been held in the portfolio. The strategy employs
sophisticated techniques to gradually enter and exit positions over the course
of a trend in order to maximize profit opportunities. It is expected that the
average holding period of instruments traded pursuant to the Market Trend
strategy will be approximately 50 days; however, that average may differ
depending on various factors and the system will make daily adjustments to
positions based on both price activity and market volatility. The program trades
a broad range of markets, including global interest rates, foreign exchange,
global stock indices and commodities.
The
Market Trend strategy utilizes a risk overlay model to better control exposure
across individual markets and sectors and avoid excessive concentration of
investments in a particular market or sector. The overlay model applies
sophisticated risk management techniques to the trading signals generated by the
sub-models of the Market Trend strategy to enhance the returns of a conventional
momentum model. The risk overlay model is designed to diversify risk across
markets and sectors, smooth the volatility of the portfolio and lower execution
costs by reducing excessive trading.
Nuveen
Asset Management, LLC
Nuveen
selects securities for the Fund's Fixed Income strategy using a "top-down"
approach that begins with the formulation of its general economic outlook.
Following this, various sectors and industries are analyzed and selected for
investment. Finally, Nuveen selects individual securities within these sectors
or industries that it believes have above peer-group expected yield, potential
for capital preservation or appreciation. In addition to selecting more
traditional investments such as government and corporate bonds, Nuveen also
selects ABS, MBS, CMBS and derivatives when it believes these investments offer
higher yield or better prospects for capital preservation or appreciation than
competing investments.
MBS
in which the Fund may invest represent participation interests in pools of
one-to-four family residential mortgage loans originated by private mortgage
originators, as well as multi-family residential loans. CMBS represent
participation interests in pools of commercial property mortgage loans
originated by private mortgage originators. ABS represent interests in pools of
loans originated by private lenders, some of which may be government approved or
affiliated lenders. Typically, an asset-backed security is issued by a SPV, such
as a business trust or limited liability company, whose value and income
payments are derived from and collateralized (i.e. backed) by a specified pool
of underlying loans. The pool of loans is usually a group of small-dollar amount
loans taken for the same or similar purpose, such as student loans, car loans,
or credit card loans, but could include cash flows from loans on aircraft,
royalty payments and movie revenues.
Nuveen
will use CDS as part of a replication tactic whereby the Fund combines a (1) CDS
on a portfolio of bonds or a single bond with investments in (2) high quality
securities, such as U.S. Treasury bills, as an economic substitute for a
portfolio of bonds or an individual bond. Nuveen may also use CDS to protect
against the economic effect of an issuer's default. A CDS is typically a
two-party (bilateral) financial contract that transfers credit risk exposure
between the two parties. The Fund will enter into a CDS by executing an
International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreement, which
provides globally-accepted standardized legal documentation for a variety of
swap transactions including a CDS. One party to a CDS (referred to as the credit
protection "buyer") receives credit protection or sheds credit risk, whereas the
other party to a CDS (referred to as the credit protection "seller") is selling
credit protection or taking on credit risk. The seller typically receives
pre-determined periodic payments from the other party. These payments are in
consideration for agreeing to make compensating specific payments to the buyer
should a negative credit event occur, such as (1) bankruptcy or (2) failure to
pay interest or principal on a reference debt instrument or one of the reference
issuers in a CDS portfolio. In general, CDS may be used by the Fund to obtain
credit risk exposure similar to that of a direct investment in
bonds.
Nuveen
uses futures contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge or manage the Fund's
interest rate risk exposure. To reduce interest rate risk, the Fund will take a
short position in an interest rate-related futures contract or a similar
position in an interest rate swap contract whereby the Fund agrees to make fixed
payments in exchange for receiving floating rate payments that reset according
to a reference index such
as
the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The Fund may also take long positions
in futures or swaps to fine-tune or adjust its portfolio interest rate risk
profile.
Generally,
Nuveen selects futures and swaps to hedge interest rate and credit risks and as
substitutes for securities when it believes derivatives provide a better return
profile or when specific securities are temporarily unavailable. Nuveen sells
securities and derivatives to adjust interest rate risk, adjust credit risk,
when a price target is reached, or when a security's or derivative's price
outlook is deteriorating.
Market
Trend Fund Subsidiary
The
Fund will execute its Market Trend strategy, in part, by directly investing in
the Fund or by investing up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time of
purchase) in a wholly-owned and controlled Subsidiary. The Fund or the
Subsidiary will invest the majority of its assets in futures contracts, forward
contracts and other investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for
futures positions. However, the Fund expects to make Market Trend investments
outside of the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment
restrictions as the Fund, when viewed on a consolidated basis. By investing in
commodities indirectly, via futures, through the Subsidiary, the Fund will
obtain exposure to the commodities markets within the federal tax requirements
that apply to the Fund. Specifically, the Subsidiary is expected to provide the
Fund with exposure to the commodities markets within the limitations of the
federal tax requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"). Subchapter M requires, among other things, that at
least 90% of the Fund's income be derived from securities or derived with
respect to its business of investing in securities (typically referred to as
"qualifying income"). The Fund will make investments in commodity futures
through the Subsidiary because income from these derivatives is not treated as
"qualifying income" for purposes of the 90% income requirement if the Fund
invests in the derivative directly. The IRS has issued a number of private
letter rulings to other mutual funds (including another fund in the LoCorr
Investment Trust), which indicate that certain income from a fund's investment
in a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary will constitute "qualifying income" for
purposes of Subchapter M. The Fund does not have a private letter ruling. Since
the Fund does not have a private letter ruling, to satisfy the 90% income
requirement, the Subsidiary will, no less than annually, declare and distribute
a dividend to the Fund, as the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary, in an amount
approximately equal to the total amount of "Subpart F" income (as defined in
Section 951 of the Code) generated by or expected to be generated by the
Subsidiary's investments during the fiscal year. Such dividend distributions are
"qualifying income" pursuant to Subchapter M (Section 851(b)) of the
Code.
Because
the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in the Subsidiary, which
may hold some of the investments described in this Prospectus, the Fund may be
considered to be investing indirectly in some of those investments through its
Subsidiary. For that reason, references to the Fund may also include the
Subsidiary. The Subsidiary will be subject to the same investment restrictions
and limitations, and follow the same compliance policies and procedures, as the
Fund when viewed on a consolidated basis.
The
Fund and the Subsidiary are each a "commodity pool" under the U.S. Commodity
Exchange Act, and the Adviser is a "commodity pool operator" registered with and
regulated by the CFTC. As a result, additional CFTC-mandated disclosure,
reporting and recordkeeping obligations apply with respect to the Fund and the
Subsidiary under CFTC and SEC harmonized regulations.
Dynamic
Opportunity Fund
KHCM
serves as one of the Fund’s sub-advisers. KHCM’s investment strategy is a
value-oriented, fundamentals- and research-driven, bottom-up equity long/short
approach. The strategy focuses on unique risk-reward strategies within the
small-cap equity universe, seeking to generate superior absolute returns over
the investment cycle and balancing the return potential of the portfolio against
risks inherent in individual stocks, industry selection, small-cap investing,
and broader markets and economies. KHCM’s strategy focuses the sub-adviser’s
attention on the small-capitalization stock universe (companies with $100mm -
$5B in market capitalization). From these companies, KHCM identifies stocks with
powerful, non-consensus catalysts and evaluates their risk-reward discipline,
searching for ideas with 50% upside/10% downside characteristics within an
appropriate time horizon. The sub-adviser then performs due diligence through
proprietary research and surveys, interviewing multiple industry sources. From
this due diligence, KCHM builds financial models based on expectations and
initializes its investment thesis and price target for the investment.
Throughout the life of the position, KHCM consistently monitors business trends,
competitors, and current market expectations. The sub-adviser manages positions
based on achievement of its target, changes—if any—in the investment thesis,
possible stop-loss triggers, net-exposure management, and short-term trading
opportunities.
Millrace
serves as one of the Fund’s sub-advisers. Millrace manages a long/short US
equity strategy based on their fundamental, bottom-up research of,
predominantly, smaller companies. Their objective is to deliver returns over the
course of a full market cycle that exceed the US equity market with less
downside exposure during market downturns. The portfolio is diversified by the
number of holdings as well as the sector exposure.
Spectrum
Income Fund
Bramshill
serves as sub-adviser for the Spectrum Income Fund with respect to the Fund’s
Income strategy. Bramshill's approach towards management of the Fund’s Income
strategy involves both "top down" and "bottom up" elements:
•Security
Selection: Bramshill
screens for securities with attractive yields, liquidity, and industry
classification. Bramshill considers criteria including but not limited to
discount to book value, discounted cash flows, discount to the net asset value,
sustainability and/or growth of distributions; quality of management; and the
security’s consistency with the portfolio manager’s macroeconomic views.
High-yielding securities may include non-investment grade
securities.
•Sector
Selection: The
relative concentration of each category of assets is based on Bramshill’s
outlook on the economic and inflationary conditions. This evaluation is based on
macroeconomic data and forecasts, as well as technical analysis of market
performance of asset classes.
The
totality of this process is intended to produce a portfolio that offers current
and projected yields meaningfully greater than those provided by broad common
stock or investment grade bond indexes. Bramshill believes that its research
processes make it likely that those yields will be sustained or increased, and
that there is a reasonable expectation that modest capital gains can be achieved
over a market cycle.
Principal
Investment Risks:
The
following risks apply to each Fund’s direct investments in securities and
derivatives, as indicated below, as well as the Commodities Fund’s and the
Spectrum Income Fund’s indirect risks through investing in Underlying Funds, and
the Macro Strategies Fund’s, the Market Trend Fund's and the Commodities Fund’s
indirect risks through investing in their respective Subsidiary. The principal
risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks
and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a
principal risk of investing in a Fund, regardless of the order in which it
appears.
•ABS,
MBS and CMBS Risk (Macro Strategies Fund, Commodities Fund and Market Trend
Fund): ABS,
MBS and CMBS are subject to credit risk because underlying loan borrowers may
default. Because ABS are typically backed by consumer loans, their default rates
tend to be sensitive to the unemployment rate and overall economic conditions.
MBS default rates tend to be sensitive to these conditions and to home prices.
CMBS default rates tend to be sensitive to overall economic conditions and to
localized commercial property vacancy rates and prices. Certain individual
securities may be more sensitive to default rates because payments may be
subordinated to other securities of the same issuer. Additionally, ABS, MBS and
CMBS are subject to prepayment risk because the underlying loans held by the
issuers may be paid off prior to maturity. The value of these securities may go
down as a result of changes in prepayment rates on the underlying mortgages or
loans. During periods of declining interest rates, prepayment rates usually
increase and the Funds may have to reinvest prepayment proceeds at a lower
interest rate. CMBS are less susceptible to this risk because underlying loans
may have prepayment penalties or prepayment lock out periods.
•BDC
Risk (Spectrum Income Fund): BDCs
may carry risks similar to those of a private equity or venture capital fund.
BDC company securities are not redeemable at the option of the shareholder and
they may trade in the market at a discount to their net asset value. A BDC is a
form of investment company that is required to invest at least 70% of its total
assets in securities (typically debt) of private companies, thinly traded U.S.
public companies, or short-term high quality debt securities. BDCs usually trade
at a discount to their net asset value because they invest in unlisted
securities and have limited access to capital markets. BDCs held by the Fund may
leverage their portfolios through borrowings or the issuance of preferred stock.
While leverage often serves to increase the yield of a BDC, this leverage also
subjects a BDC to increased risks, including the likelihood of increased
volatility and the possibility that a BDC's common share income will fall if the
dividend rate of the preferred shares or the interest rate on any borrowings
rises. BDCs are subject to management and other expenses, which will be
indirectly paid by the Fund.
•Bitcoin
and Ether Futures Risk (Macro Strategies Fund and Commodities Fund):
The market for Bitcoin and Ether futures ("crypto futures") may be less
developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established
futures markets. While the crypto futures market has grown substantially since
the first crypto futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this
growth will continue. The price for crypto futures contracts is based on a
number of factors, including the supply of and the demand for crypto futures
contracts. Market conditions and expectations, position limits, collateral
requirements, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for
crypto futures contracts. To the extent the Fund purchases crypto futures
contracts at a premium and the premium declines, the value of an investment in
the Fund also should be expected to decline. The performance of crypto futures
contracts and the underlying crypto may differ and may not be correlated with
each other, over short or long periods of time.
Bitcoin
and ether are both digital assets that are designed to be alternative forms of
payment. Although these digital assets are designed to be alternative forms of
payment they have not widely been accepted as such. The ownership
and operation of both Bitcoin and ether are determined by
participants in online, peer-to-peer networks - the Bitcoin
Network and the Ethereum Network, respectively. These networks
connect computers running open-source software that follows the rules
and procedures governing each network’s protocol.
The
value of both bitcoin and ether is not backed by any
government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead,
their values are determined by the supply and demand in
markets created to facilitate their trading. Ownership and
transaction records for bitcoin and ether are protected through
public-key cryptography. The supply of bitcoin and ether is
determined by their respective protocols, and no single entity owns
or operates either network. They are collectively maintained
by decentralized groups of participants who run computer software that
records and validates transactions (miners for bitcoin and validators for
ether), developers who propose improvements to the protocols and the
software that enforces them, and users who choose which version of the
software to run.
Crypto
may experience very high volatility and related investments, such as crypto
futures, may be affected by such volatility. Crypto is a relatively new
innovation and the market for crypto is subject to
rapid
price swings, changes and uncertainty. The further development of the each
crypto's network and the acceptance and use of crypto are subject to a variety
of factors that are difficult to evaluate.
Each
digital asset operates without central authority and is not backed by any
government. Large sales by a few holders of significant amounts of a crypto
(commonly referred to as “whales”) could depress the price. Federal, state or
foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of crypto, and regulation
in the U.S. is still developing. Increased regulation might tend to depress the
price of crypto. Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation
of a crypto's network or restrict the use of crypto. The realization of any of
these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of crypto and
consequently a reduction in the value of crypto, crypto futures, and the
Fund.
•Crypto
Adoption Risk.
The further development and acceptance of the Bitcoin and/or Ether network,
which is part of a new and rapidly changing industry, is subject to a variety of
factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of
the development or acceptance of a crypto's network may adversely affect the
price of the underlying crypto and therefore cause the Fund to suffer losses.
The growth of this industry is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and the
factors affecting its further development, include, but are not limited to, the
continued growth or possible reversal in the adoption of crypto, government
regulation over crypto, the maintenance and development of the crypto's network,
the availability and popularity of other mediums of exchange for buying and
selling goods and services and consumer or public perception of crypto
specifically or other digital assets generally. Currently, there is relatively
limited use of crypto in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to
relatively extensive use as a store of value, thus contributing to price
volatility (meaning prices may fluctuate widely) that could adversely affect the
Fund’s investment in crypto futures.
•Crypto
Cybersecurity Risk.
Cybersecurity exploitations or attacks against a crypto's protocol and of
entities that custody or facilitate the transfers or trading of crypto could
result in a significant theft and a loss of public confidence in crypto, which
could lead to a decline in the value of crypto and, as a result, adversely
impact the Fund’s investment in crypto futures. Additionally, if a malicious
actor or botnet (i.e., a volunteer or hacked collection of computers controlled
by networked software coordinating the actions of the computers) obtains control
of more than 50% of the processing power of the Bitcoin network, such actor or
botnet could alter the blockchain and adversely affect the value of bitcoin,
which would adversely affect the Fund’s investment in Bitcoin Futures.
Similarly, if a malicious actor or botnet obtains control of more than 33 1/3%
of the processing power of the Ether network, such actor or botnet could alter
the blockchain and adversely affect the value of ether, which would adversely
affect the Fund's investment in Ether Futures.
•Commodity
Risk (Macro Strategies Fund, Commodities Fund and Market Trend
Fund):
The
Funds’ exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Funds to greater
volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of
commodity-linked derivative instruments, commodity-based exchange traded trusts
and commodity-based exchange traded funds and notes may be affected by changes
in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest
rates, or sectors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought,
floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs, and international
economic, political and regulatory developments.
•Commodity
Pool Risk (Commodities Fund): Commodity
Pools are privately offered investment vehicles that are not registered under
the 1940 Act and will not be subject to all of the investor protections of the
1940 Act. Commodity pools may incur a significant degree of leverage which can
magnify the Fund’s potential loss or gain. Commodity pools are also subject to
investment advisory fees and other expenses, including performance fees, which
will be indirectly paid by the Fund.
•Convertible
Securities Risk (Market Trend Fund and Dynamic Opportunity Fund): Convertible
securities are hybrid securities that have characteristics of both bonds and
common stocks and are subject to debt security risk and conversion value-related
equity risk. Convertible securities are similar to other fixed-income securities
because they usually pay a fixed interest rate and are obligated to repay
principal on a given date in the future. The market value of fixed-income
securities tends to
decline
as interest rates increase. Convertible securities are particularly sensitive to
changes in interest rates when their conversion to equity feature is small
relative to the interest and principal value of the bond. Convertible issuers
may not be able to make principal and interest payments on the bond as they
become due. Convertible securities may also be subject to prepayment or
redemption risk. If a convertible security held by the Fund is called for
redemption, the Fund will be required to surrender the security for redemption,
convert it into the issuing company's common stock or cash at a time that may be
unfavorable to the Fund. Convertible securities have characteristics similar to
common stocks especially when their conversion value is greater than the
interest and principal value of the bond. The price of equity securities may
rise or fall because of economic or political changes. Stock prices in general
may decline over short or even extended periods of time. Market prices of equity
securities in broad market segments may be adversely affected by a prominent
issuer having experienced losses or by the lack of earnings or such an issuer's
failure to meet the market's expectations with respect to new products or
services, or even by factors wholly unrelated to the value or condition of the
issuer, such as changes in interest rates. When a convertible security’s value
is more closely tied to its conversion to stock feature, it is sensitive to the
underlying stock's price.
•Credit
Risk (All Funds): There
is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities
and other investments held by the Funds, resulting in losses to the Funds. In
addition, the credit quality of securities held by the Funds may be lowered if
an issuer’s financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to
greater volatility in the price of a security and in shares of the Funds. Lower
credit quality also may affect liquidity and make it difficult for the Funds to
sell the security. Default, or the market’s perception that an issuer is likely
to default, could reduce the value and liquidity of securities held by the
Funds, thereby reducing the value of your investment in Fund’s shares. In
addition, default may cause the Funds to incur expenses in seeking recovery of
principal or interest on its portfolio holdings.
Credit
risk also exists whenever the Funds enter into a foreign exchange or derivative
contract, because the counterparty may not be able or may choose not to perform
under the contract. When the Funds invest in foreign currency contracts, or
other over-the-counter derivative instruments (including options), it is
assuming a credit risk with regard to the party with which it trades and also
bears the risk of settlement default. These risks may differ materially from
risks associated with transactions effected on an exchange, which generally are
backed by clearing organization guarantees, daily mark-to-market and settlement,
segregation and minimum capital requirements applicable to intermediaries.
Transactions entered into directly between two counterparties generally do not
benefit from such protections. Relying on a counterparty exposes the Funds to
the risk that a counterparty will not settle a transaction in accordance with
its terms and conditions because of a dispute over the terms of the contract
(whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem, thus
causing the Funds to suffer a loss. If a counterparty defaults on its payment
obligations to the Funds, this default will cause the value of an investment in
the Funds to decrease. In addition, to the extent the Funds deal with a limited
number of counterparties, it will be more susceptible to the credit risks
associated with those counterparties. The Funds are neither restricted from
dealing with any particular counterparty nor from concentrating any or all of
its transactions with one counterparty. The ability of the Funds to transact
business with any one or number of counterparties and the absence of a regulated
market to facilitate settlement may increase the potential for losses by the
Funds.
•Digital
Asset Futures Risk (Macro Strategies Fund and Commodities Fund): The
market for Bitcoin and Ether futures may be less developed, and potentially less
liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the
Bitcoin and Ether futures market has grown substantially since Bitcoin and Ether
futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will
continue. The price for Bitcoin and Ether futures contracts is based on a number
of factors, including the supply of and the demand for Bitcoin and Ether futures
contracts. Market conditions and expectations, position limits, collateral
requirements, and other factors each can impact the supply of and demand for
Bitcoin and Ether futures contracts. Recently increased demand paired with
supply constraints and other factors have caused Bitcoin futures to trade at a
significant premium to the “spot” price of Bitcoin and Ether. Additional demand,
including demand resulting from the purchase, or anticipated purchase, of
Bitcoin and Ether futures contracts by the Funds or other entities may increase
that premium, perhaps significantly. It is not possible to predict whether or
for how long such conditions will continue. To the extent the Funds purchases
futures contracts at a premium and the
premium
declines, the value of an investment in the Funds also should be expected to
decline. The performance of Bitcoin and Ether futures contracts and Bitcoin and
Ether, respectively, may differ and may not be correlated with each other, over
short or long periods of time. While the performance of digital asset futures
contracts, in general, has historically been highly correlated to the
performance of the corresponding spot digital asset, there can be no guarantee
that this will continue. The performance of the Funds' digital asset futures
contracts should not be expected to match the performance of the corresponding
spot digital asset.
Bitcoin
and Ether have been subject to high volatility and related investments, such as
Bitcoin and Ether futures, may be affected by such volatility. Bitcoin and Ether
are each a relatively new innovation and the market for Bitcoin and Ether is
subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty, which is also dependent
on significant speculation. The further development of the Bitcoin and Ethereum
networks and the acceptance and use of Bitcoin and Ether are subject to a
variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate.
As
a digital asset, Bitcoin and Ether operate without central authority and is not
backed by any government. Large sales by a few holders of significant amounts of
Bitcoin and Ether (commonly referred to as “whales”) could depress the price of
Bitcoin or Ether. Federal, state or foreign governments may restrict the use and
exchange of Bitcoin and Ether, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing.
Increased regulation might tend to depress the price of Bitcoin and Ether. Legal
or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Bitcoin and
Ethereum Networks or restrict the use of Bitcoin and Ether. The realization of
any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of Bitcoin and
Ether and consequently a reduction in the value of Bitcoin and Ethereum, Bitcoin
and Ether futures, and the Funds.
It
is possible that Ether may be determined to be a security for the purposes of
federal or state securities laws. If Ether is determined or is expected to be
determined to be a security under the federal securities laws, that could
materially and adversely affect the trading of Ether futures contracts held by
the Funds.
◦Digital
Asset Adoption Risk.
The further development and acceptance of digital asset networks, which is part
of a new and rapidly changing industry, is subject to a variety of factors that
are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development
or acceptance of digital asset networks may adversely affect the price of
Bitcoin and therefore cause the Funds to suffer losses. The growth of this
industry is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and the factors affecting
its further development, include, but are not limited to, the continued growth
or possible reversal in the adoption of Bitcoin, government regulation over
digital assets, the maintenance and development of digital asset networks, the
availability and popularity of other mediums of exchange for buying and selling
goods and services and consumer or public perception of digital assets
specifically or other digital assets generally. Currently, there is relatively
limited use of Bitcoin in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to
relatively extensive use as a store of value, thus contributing to price
volatility (meaning prices may fluctuate widely) that could adversely affect the
Funds' investment in digital asset futures.
◦Digital
Asset Cybersecurity Risk.
Cybersecurity exploitations or attacks against a digital asset protocol and of
entities that custody or facilitate the transfers or trading of digital assets
could result in a significant theft of digital asset and a loss of public
confidence in digital assets, which could lead to a decline in the value of
Bitcoin and, as a result, adversely impact the Funds' investment in digital
asset futures. Additionally, if a malicious actor or botnet (i.e., a volunteer
or hacked collection of computers controlled by networked software coordinating
the actions of the computers) obtains control of more than 50% of the processing
power of a digital asset network, such actor or botnet could alter the protocol
and adversely affect the value of digital assets, which would adversely affect
the Funds' investment in digital asset futures.
•Derivatives
Risk (All Funds):
The Funds may use derivatives (including futures, options and options on
futures) to enhance returns or hedge against market declines. The Funds’ use of
derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than,
the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional
investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a
derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of
mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value
of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or
index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially
during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors
that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: changing supply and
demand relationships; government programs and policies; national and
international political and economic events, changes in interest rates,
inflation and deflation and changes in supply and demand relationships. Futures
positions held by a Fund may incur significant losses caused by unanticipated
market movements and such losses may be unlimited. Trading derivative
instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks
associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts such as
futures ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms. The low margin
deposits normally required in trading derivatives, including futures contracts,
permit a high degree of leverage. Accordingly, a relatively small price movement
may result in an immediate and substantial loss to the Funds. The use of
leverage may also cause the Funds to liquidate portfolio positions when it would
not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations or to meet
collateral segregation requirements. The use of leveraged derivatives can
magnify the Funds’ potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the
effects of market volatility on the Funds’ share price. Because option premiums
paid or received are small in relation to the market value of the investments
underlying the options, buying and selling put and call options can be more
speculative than investing directly in securities.
◦Dealer
Options (Commodities
Fund only):
The Fund may engage in transactions involving dealer options as well as
exchange-traded options. Certain additional risks are specific to dealer
options. While the Fund might look to a clearing corporation to exercise
exchange-traded options, if the Fund were to purchase a dealer option it would
need to rely on the dealer from which it purchased the option to perform if the
option were exercised. Failure by the dealer to do so would result in the loss
of the premium paid by the Fund as well as loss of the expected benefit of the
transaction.
◦Futures
and Forwards Risk (Macro Strategies Fund, Commodities Fund and Market Trend
Fund).
The primary risks associated with the use of forward and futures contracts,
which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and total return,
are (a) the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the
instruments held by the Fund or an Underlying Fund and the price of the forward
or futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a
forward or futures contract and the resulting inability to close a forward or
futures contract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market
movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the inability to predict
correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange
rates and other economic factors; (e) the possibility that the counterparty will
default in the performance of its obligations; and (f) if the Fund or Underlying
Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio to
meet daily variation margin requirements, and the Fund or Underlying Fund may
have to sell securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do
so.
◦Options
Risk (Macro Strategies Fund, Commodities Fund and Market Trend Fund).
There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options.
As the buyer of a put or call option, the Fund risks losing the entire premium
invested in the option if the Fund does not exercise the option. Because option
premiums paid by the Fund indirectly through Underlying Funds are small in
relation to the market value of the investments underlying the options, buying
and selling put and call options can be more speculative than investing directly
in securities. Purchased put options may decline in value due to changes in
value of the underlying reference asset.
◦Swap
Risk (Commodities Fund).
Swap agreements are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will
default on its obligation to pay the Fund and the risk that the
Fund
will not be able to meet its obligations to pay the counterparty to the swap. In
addition, there is the risk that a swap may be terminated by the Fund or the
counterparty in accordance with its terms. If a swap were to terminate, the Fund
may be unable to implement its investment strategies and the Fund may not be
able to seek to achieve its investment objective.
•Emerging
Market Risk (Dynamic Opportunity Fund): The
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in issuers from countries with newly
organized or less developed securities markets. There are typically greater
risks involved in investing in emerging markets securities. Generally, economic
structures in these countries are less diverse and mature than those in
developed countries and their political systems tend to be less stable. Emerging
market economies may be based on only a few industries; therefore, security
issuers, including governments, may be more susceptible to economic weakness and
more likely to default. Emerging market countries also may have relatively
unstable governments, weaker economies, and less-developed legal systems with
fewer security holder rights. Investments in emerging markets countries may be
affected by government policies that restrict foreign investment in certain
issuers or industries. The potentially smaller size of their securities markets
and lower trading volumes can make investments relatively illiquid and
potentially more volatile than investments in developed countries, and such
securities may be subject to abrupt and severe price declines. Due to this
relative lack of liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price or may not
be able to sell a portfolio security at all. An inability to sell a portfolio
position can adversely affect the Fund's value or prevent the Fund from being
able to meet cash obligations or take advantage of other investment
opportunities.
•Equity
Market Risk (Dynamic Opportunity Fund): The
Fund will invest primarily in equity securities, including common stock which is
susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and
decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers
change. An equity security, or stock, represents a proportionate share of the
ownership of a company; its value is based on the success of the company's
business, any income paid to stockholders, the value of its assets and general
market conditions. Common stocks and preferred stocks are examples of equity
securities. While both represent proportional share ownership of a company,
preferred stocks often pay dividends at a specific rate and have a preference
over common stocks in dividend payments and liquidation of assets.
•ETF
Risk (Dynamic Opportunity Fund): ETFs
are subject to investment advisory fees and other expenses, which will be
indirectly paid by a Fund. As a result, your cost of investing in a 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 other
trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to a Fund. Because the
value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Adviser may not be
able to liquidate a Fund's holdings at the most optimal time, adversely
affecting performance.
•Fixed
Income Risk (Macro Strategies Fund, Commodities Fund, Market Trend Fund and
Spectrum Income Fund):
When
the Funds invest in fixed income securities or derivatives, the value of your
investment in the Funds will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed
income securities or derivatives owned by the Funds. In general, the market
price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more
in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other
risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default) and prepayment risk
(the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest
payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment by the
Funds, possibly causing the Funds’ share price and total return to be reduced
and fluctuate more than other types of investments.
•Foreign
Currency Risk (Macro Strategies Fund, Commodities Fund, Market Trend Fund and
Dynamic Opportunity Fund): Currency
trading involves significant risks, including market risk, interest rate risk,
country risk, counterparty credit risk and short sale risk. Market risk results
from the price movement of foreign currency values in response to shifting
market supply and demand. Since exchange rate
changes
can readily move in one direction, a currency position carried overnight or over
a number of days may involve greater risk than one carried a few minutes or
hours. Interest rate risk arises whenever a country changes its stated interest
rate target associated with its currency. Country risk arises because virtually
every country has interfered with international transactions in its currency.
Interference has taken the form of regulation of the local exchange market,
restrictions on foreign investment by residents or limits on inflows of
investment funds from abroad. Restrictions on the exchange market or on
international transactions are intended to affect the level or movement of the
exchange rate. This risk could include the country issuing a new currency,
effectively making the “old” currency worthless.
The
Fund may also take short positions, through derivatives, if the Adviser believes
the value of a currency is likely to depreciate in value. A “short” position is,
in effect, similar to a sale in which the Fund sells a currency it does not own
but, has borrowed in anticipation that the market price of the currency will
decline. The Fund must replace a short currency position by purchasing it at the
market price at the time of replacement, which may be more or less than the
price at which the Fund took a short position in the currency.
•Foreign
Investment Risk (All Funds): Foreign
investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments,
including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political,
social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, less
developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability and differing
auditing and legal standards. Investing in emerging markets imposes risks
different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed
countries.
◦Foreign
Exchanges Risk: A
portion of the derivatives trades made by a Fund may be take place on foreign
markets. Neither existing CFTC regulations nor regulations of any other U.S.
governmental agency apply to transactions on foreign markets. Some of these
foreign markets, in contrast to U.S. exchanges, are so-called principals’
markets in which performance is the responsibility only of the individual
counterparty with whom the trader has entered into a commodity interest
transaction and not of the exchange or clearing corporation. In these kinds of
markets, there is risk of bankruptcy or other failure or refusal to perform by
the counterparty.
•Hedging
Strategies Risk: (Spectrum Income Fund) There
is no assurance that the Fund will succeed in hedging the underlying portfolio
holdings because the value of the hedging vehicle may not correlate perfectly
with the underlying portfolio asset. The Adviser is not aware of any security or
combination of securities that would provide a perfect hedge to the Fund's
holdings. Each of the hedging strategies has inherent leverage risk that may
tend to magnify the Fund's losses. Derivative contracts, such as futures, have
leverage inherent in their terms because of low margin deposits normally
required. Consequently, a relatively small price movement in the futures
contract reference index may result in an immediate and substantial loss to the
Fund. Over-the-counter instruments, such as swaps and certain purchased options,
are subject to counterparty default risk and liquidity risk. Swap agreements
also involve fees, commissions or other costs that may reduce the Fund's gains
from a swap agreement or may cause the Fund to lose money. The Fund will incur a
loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position
instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and
the date on which an offsetting position is purchased. Short positions may be
considered speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater
reliance on the Adviser's ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a
security or instrument. The Fund's losses are potentially unlimited in a short
position transaction. The Adviser covers hedging positions (buys back, sells or
closes out positions) when it believes market price trends are no longer
unfavorable or security-specific risks are acceptable or when a different
hedging vehicle is more attractive.
•High
Yield or Junk Bond Risk (Dynamic Opportunity Fund and Spectrum Income Fund):
Lower-quality
fixed income securities, known as "high yield" or "junk" bonds, present a
significant risk for loss of principal and interest. These bonds offer the
potential for higher return, but also involve greater risk than bonds of higher
quality, including an increased possibility that the bond's issuer, obligor or
guarantor may not be able to make its payments of interest and principal (credit
quality risk). If that happens, the value of the bond may decrease, and the
Funds’ share price may decrease and its income distribution may be reduced.
These investments are considered speculative. An economic downturn or period of
rising interest rates (interest rate risk) could adversely affect the market for
these
bonds and reduce the Funds’ ability to sell its bonds (liquidity risk). Such
securities may also include “Rule 144A” securities, which are subject to resale
restrictions. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the
Fund's share price.
•Interest
Rates and Bond Maturities Risk (All Funds): Interest
rate changes may adversely affect the market value of an investment.
Fixed-income securities typically decline in value when interest rates rise.
Fixed-income securities typically increase in value when interest rates decline.
The Funds may experience adverse exposure from either increasing or declining
rates. Bonds with longer maturities will be more affected by interest rate
changes than intermediate-term bonds.
•Issuer-Specific
Risk (All Funds): The
value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and
can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of
securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than those of larger issuers.
The value of certain types of securities can be more volatile due to increased
sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic
developments.
•Leverage
Risk (All Funds): Using
derivatives to increase the Funds’ combined long and short position exposure
creates leverage, which can amplify the effects of market volatility on the
Funds’ share price and make the Funds’ returns more volatile. The use of
leverage may cause the Funds to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not
be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. The use of
leverage may also cause the Funds to have higher expenses than those of mutual
funds that do not use such techniques.
•Limited
Partnership Risk
(Spectrum
Income Fund):
Investments in Limited Partnerships (including master limited partnerships)
involve risks different from those of investing in common stock including risks
related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the
Limited Partnership, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between
the Limited Partnership and its general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks
and risks related to the general partner's limited call right. Limited
Partnerships are generally considered interest-rate sensitive investments.
During periods of interest rate volatility, these investments may not provide
attractive returns. Depending on the state of interest rates in general, the use
of Limited Partnerships could enhance or harm the overall performance of the
Fund.
◦Limited
Partnership Tax Risk:
Limited Partnerships typically do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the
partnership level. Instead, each partner is allocated a share of the
partnership's income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in
current tax law or in the underlying business mix of a given Limited Partnership
could result in a Limited Partnership being treated as a corporation for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, which would result in such Limited Partnership
being required to pay U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. The
classification of a Limited Partnership as a corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for
distribution by the Limited Partnership. Thus, if any of the Limited
Partnerships owned by the Fund were treated as corporations for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, it could result in a reduction of the value of your
investment in the Fund and lower income, as compared to a Limited Partnership
that is not taxed as a corporation.
◦The
Funds may invest in publicly traded MLPs. MLPs are businesses organized as
limited partnerships that trade their proportionate shares of the partnership
(units) on a public exchange. MLPs are required to pay out most or all of their
earnings in distributions. Generally speaking, MLP investment returns are
enhanced during periods of declining or low interest rates and tend to be
negatively influenced when interest rates are rising. As an income vehicle, the
unit price may be influenced by general interest rate trends independent of
specific underlying fundamentals. In addition, most MLPs are fairly leveraged
and typically carry a portion of “floating” rate debt. As such, a significant
upward swing in interest rates would drive interest expense higher. Furthermore,
most MLPs grow by acquisitions partly financed by debt, and higher interest
rates could make it more difficult to make acquisitions.
•Liquidity
Risk (All Funds):
The Funds are subject to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular
investments of the Funds would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly
preventing the Funds from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous
time or price, or possibly requiring the Funds to dispose of other investments
at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations. Funds with
principal investment strategies that involve securities of companies with
smaller market capitalizations, non-U.S. securities, Rule 144A securities,
derivatives or
securities
with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to
liquidity risk.
•Management
Risk (All Funds):
The
net asset values of the Funds change daily based on the performance of the
securities and, for the Macro Strategies Fund and Commodities Fund, derivatives
in which it invests. The Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ judgments about the
attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular asset classes,
securities and derivatives in which the Funds invest may prove to be incorrect
and may not produce the desired results. Additionally, the Adviser’s judgments
about the potential performance of the sub-advisers may also prove incorrect and
may not produce the desired results. The profitability of the Macro Strategies
Fund and the Commodities Fund will also depend upon the ability of the Adviser
to successfully allocate the Fund’s assets. There can be no assurance that
either the securities selected by the Adviser or the sub-advisers will produce
positive returns.
•Market
Risk (All Funds):
The net asset value of the Funds will fluctuate based on changes in the value of
the securities and derivatives in which the Funds invest. The Funds invest in
securities and derivatives, which may be more volatile and carry more risk than
some other forms of investment. The price of securities and derivatives may rise
or fall because of economic, political or social changes. Security and
derivative prices in general may decline over short or even extended periods of
time. Market prices of securities and derivatives in broad market segments may
be adversely affected by price trends in commodities, interest rates, exchange
rates or other factors wholly unrelated to the value or condition of an issuer.
Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and
conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely
impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks
may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the
global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect
companies worldwide. Recent examples include pandemic risks related to COVID-19
and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by governments, including
closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the
imposition of prolonged quarantines of large populations, and by businesses,
including changes to operations and reducing staff. The effects of COVID-19 have
contributed to increased volatility in global markets and will likely affect
certain countries, companies, industries and market sectors more dramatically
than others. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and any other outbreak of an
infectious disease or other serious public health concern could have, a
significant negative impact on economic and market conditions and could trigger
a prolonged period of global economic slowdown. To the extent the fund may
overweight its investments in certain countries, companies, industries or market
sectors, such positions will increase the fund's exposure to risk of loss from
adverse developments affecting those countries, companies, industries or
sectors.
•Mutual
Fund Risk
(Spectrum
Income Fund): Mutual
funds are subject to investment advisory fees and other expenses, which will be
indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will
be higher than the cost of investing directly in mutual funds and may be higher
than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each mutual
fund is dependent on its manager to achieve its investment objective and is also
subject to strategy-related risks such as credit, interest rate and leverage
risks.
•Portfolio
Turnover Risk (Macro Strategies Fund, Commodities Fund, Market Trend Fund,
Dynamic Opportunity Fund, and Spectrum Income Fund): Active
and frequent trading may lead to the realization and distribution to
shareholders of higher short-term capital gains, which would increase their tax
liability. Frequent trading also increases transaction costs, which could
detract from the Fund’s performance.
•Preferred
Stock Risk (Dynamic Opportunity Fund):
The value of preferred stocks will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of preferred
stock.
Preferred stocks are also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that
an issuer of preferred stock will fail to make its dividend payments. Preferred
stock prices tend to move more slowly upwards than common stock
prices.
•Real
Estate Industry Risk (Spectrum Income Fund):
The Fund's portfolio will be significantly impacted by the performance of the
real estate market generally, and the Fund may be exposed to greater risk and
experience higher volatility than would a more economically diversified
portfolio. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining
rents resulting from economic, legal, cultural, or technological developments.
Real estate company prices also may drop because of the failure of borrowers to
pay their loans and poor management, and residential developers, in particular,
could be negatively impacted by falling home prices, slower mortgage
origination, and rising construction costs. Real estate loans are subject to
prepayment risk because the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the
amount of interest payments.
◦Mezzanine
Loan Risk (Spectrum
Income Fund):
The terms of mezzanine loans may restrict transfer of the interests securing
such loans, including an involuntary transfer upon foreclosure, or may require
the consent of the senior lender or other members or partners of or equity
holders in the related real estate company, or may otherwise prohibit a change
of control of the related real estate company. These and other limitations on
realization on the collateral securing a mezzanine loan or the practical
limitations on the availability and effectiveness of such a remedy may affect
the likelihood of repayment in the event of a default.
•REIT
Risk (Dynamic Opportunity Fund and Spectrum Income Fund): In
addition to the general risks associated with investments in the real estate
industry, investing in REITs will subject the Fund to various risks. REITs can
be classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs, and hybrid REITs. Equity REITs
invest primarily in real property and earn rental income from leasing those
properties. They may also realize gains or losses from the sale of properties.
Equity REITs will be affected by conditions in the real estate rental market and
by changes in the value of the properties they own. Mortgage REITs invest
primarily in mortgages and similar real estate interests and receive interest
payments from the owners of the mortgaged properties. Mortgage REITs will be
affected by changes in creditworthiness of borrowers and changes in interest
rates. Hybrid REITs invest both in real property and in mortgages. REITs are
dependent upon management skills, may not be diversified, and are subject to the
risks of financing projects. Changes in interest rates may make REIT shares less
attractive than other income-producing investments. REITs are also subject to
heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, and self-liquidation. To the
extent the Fund invests in REITs, the Fund’s distributions may be taxable as
ordinary income to investors because most REIT distributions come from mortgage
interest and rents. For this reason, the Fund’s distributions may be taxed at a
higher ordinary income rate, rather than qualifying for lower rates on qualified
dividends.
Purchasing
affiliated REITs may present certain actual or potential conflicts of interest.
For example, the Fund may come into possession of non-public information
regarding affiliated REITs and may use that information in connection with
transactions made on behalf of the Fund. However, the Fund is prohibited by
legal and regulatory constraints, and internal policies and procedures, from
using insider information in its trading. The Fund may also be able to pump up
the short-term financial performance of poorly-performing affiliated REITs by
purchasing the REITs.
•Restricted
Securities Risk (Macro Strategies Fund, Commodities Fund and Market Trend
Fund):
Rule 144A securities, which are restricted securities, may not be readily
marketable in broad public markets. A Rule 144A restricted security carries the
risk that the Funds may not be able to sell a security when the portfolio
managers consider it desirable to do so and/or may have to sell the security at
a lower price. In addition, transaction costs may be higher for Rule 144A
securities than for more liquid securities. Although there is a substantial
institutional market for Rule 144A securities, it is not possible to predict
exactly how the market for Rule 144A securities will develop. A restricted
security that when purchased was liquid in the institutional markets may
subsequently become illiquid.
•Royalty
Trust Risk (Spectrum Income Fund):
Royalty trusts are subject to cash-flow fluctuations and revenue decreases due
to a sustained decline in demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined
petroleum products, risks related to economic conditions, higher taxes or other
regulatory actions that
increase
costs for royalty trusts. Also, royalty trusts do not guarantee minimum
distributions or even return of capital. If the assets underlying a royalty
trust do not perform as expected, the royalty trust may reduce or even eliminate
distributions. The declaration of such distributions generally depends upon
various factors, including the operating performance and financial condition of
the royalty trust and general economic conditions.
•Short
Position Risk (All Funds):
The
Funds’ long positions could decline in value at the same time that the value of
the short positions increases, thereby increasing the Funds’ overall potential
for loss. The Funds’ short positions may result in a loss if the price of the
short position instruments rise and it costs more to replace the short
positions. In contrast to the Funds’ long positions, for which the risk of loss
is typically limited to the amount invested, the potential loss on the Funds’
short positions is unlimited; however, the Funds will be in compliance with
Section 18(f) of the 1940 Act to ensure that a Fund shareholder will not lose
more than the amount he/she invested in that Fund. Market factors may prevent
the Funds from closing out a short position at the most desirable time or at a
favorable price.
•Small
and Medium Capitalization Company Risk (Dynamic Opportunity Fund and Spectrum
Income Fund): The
value of small or medium capitalization company securities may be subject to
more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established
companies or the market in general. These companies may have narrower markets,
limited product lines, fewer financial resources, and they may be dependent on a
limited management group. Investing in lesser-known, small and medium
capitalization companies involves greater risk of volatility of the Funds’ net
asset value than is customarily associated with larger, more established
companies.
•Swap
Risk (Commodities Fund and Spectrum Income Fund):
Swap agreements are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will
default on its obligation to pay the Funds and the risk that the Funds will not
be able to meet their obligations to pay the counterparty to the swap.
Swap agreements may also involve fees, commissions or other costs that may
reduce the Funds’ gains from a swap agreement or may cause the Funds to lose
money.
•Underlying
Funds Risk: Your
cost of investing in the Funds will be higher than the cost of investing
directly in Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that
invest directly in stocks and bonds. You will indirectly bear fees and expenses
charged by the Underlying Funds in addition to the Fund's direct fees and
expenses. Each Underlying Fund is subject to specific risks, depending on the
nature of the fund. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, as
well as risks associated with fixed income securities. The strategy of investing
in Underlying Funds could affect the timing, amount and character of
distributions to you, and therefore, may increase the amount of taxes you pay.
The Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest may not be able to replicate
exactly the performance of the indices they track, due to transactions costs and
other expenses of the Underlying Funds. The shares of closed-end funds
frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value. There can be no
assurance that the market discount on shares of any closed-end fund purchased by
the Fund will ever decrease, and it is possible that the discount may
increase.
◦(Commodities
Fund) In
addition to management fees and other expenses, certain Underlying Fund assets
may be subject to additional performance-based fees based on a percentage of
Underlying Fund profits. Each Underlying Fund may pay performance-based
fees to each manager without regard to the performance of other managers and the
Underlying Fund’s overall profitability.
•Wholly-Owned
Subsidiary Risk (Macro Strategies Fund, Commodities Fund and Market Trend
Fund):
The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and, unless otherwise noted
in this Prospectus, is not subject to all of the investor protections of the
1940 Act. The Funds, by investing in the Subsidiary, will not have all of the
protections offered to investors in registered investment companies. However,
the Funds wholly own and control the Subsidiary. The investments of the Funds
and Subsidiary are both managed by the Adviser, making it unlikely that the
Subsidiary will take action contrary to the interests of the Funds or their
shareholders. The Funds’ Board has oversight responsibility for the investment
activities of the Funds, including its investment in the Subsidiary, and the
Funds’ role as the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary. Also, the Adviser, in
managing the Subsidiary’s portfolios, will
be
subject to the same investment restrictions and operational guidelines that
apply to the management of the Funds when viewed on a consolidated
basis.
By
investing in commodities indirectly through the Subsidiary, the Funds will
obtain exposure to the commodities markets within the federal tax requirements
that apply to the Funds. There is a risk that the IRS will deem the income of
such commodities investments not to be “qualifying income” despite the
Subsidiary’s distribution of such income through dividends to the Funds
resulting in significant tax penalties to the Funds, and indirectly to
investors. The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation for
US tax purposes. Typically, any gains/losses from trading in 1256 futures
contracts, such as exchange-traded commodity futures contracts, are taxed 60% as
long-term capital gains/losses and 40% short term capital gains/losses. However,
because the Subsidiary is controlled foreign corporations, any income received
from its investments will be passed through to the Funds as ordinary income and
reflected on shareholders' tax Forms 1099 as such. Additionally, losses at the
subsidiary level are not available to be carried forward nor offset by gains at
the fund level. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman
Islands, under which the Funds and Subsidiary, respectively, are organized,
could result in the inability of the Fund and/or Subsidiary to operate as
described in this Prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and its
shareholders. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any
income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax
or withholding tax on the Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that
the Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands taxes, Fund shareholders would likely
suffer decreased investment returns.
•Written
Call Option Risk (Spectrum Income Fund):
Selling covered call options will limit the Fund's gain, if any, on its
underlying securities. The Fund continues to bear the risk of a decline in the
value of its underlying stocks. Option premiums are treated as short-term
capital gains and when distributed to shareholders, are usually taxable as
ordinary income, which may have a higher tax rate than long-term capital gains
for shareholders holding Fund shares in a taxable account. Call options involve
risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with
investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks
include risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in
the value of the call option may not correlate perfectly with the underlying
asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate
substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by
numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to,
changing supply and demand relationships; government programs and policies;
national and international political and economic events, changes in interest
rates, inflation and deflation and changes in supply and demand
relationships.

Except
with respect to the Spectrum Income Fund for which it is a principal investment
strategy, as a non-principal investment strategy, to reduce overall portfolio
market risk or security specific risk, the Adviser may employ hedging
strategies. These strategies attempt to mitigate potential losses in value in
certain Fund holdings. The Adviser attempts to hedge risks by investing long
and/or short in exchange-traded futures, ETFs and exchange-traded and
over-the-counter options, selling securities short and entering into swap
contracts. The Adviser takes short positions in equity or interest rate futures
contracts to protect against declines in the equity market and debt market,
respectively. The Adviser may also invest in inverse ETFs (those that are
designed to have price changes that move in the opposite direction of a market
index) to protect against declines in the equity market and debt market. The
Adviser may invest in protective put options that give the Fund the right to
sell a security at a specific price regardless of the decline in the market
price. The Adviser may also combine long and short (written) put and call
options in "spread" transactions that are designed to protect the Fund over a
range of price changes. Short selling is also used to hedge against overall
market or sector price declines. Similarly, swaps contracts (agreements to
exchange payments based on price changes in an index or specific security) are
used to hedge against overall market, sector or security-specific price
declines.
There
is no assurance that the Fund will succeed in hedging the underlying portfolio
holdings because the value of the hedging vehicle may not correlate perfectly
with the underlying portfolio asset. The Adviser is not aware of any security or
combination of securities that would provide a perfect hedge to the Fund's
holdings. Each of the hedging strategies has inherent leverage risk that may
tend to magnify the Fund's losses. Derivative contracts, such as futures, have
leverage inherent in their terms because of low margin deposits normally
required. Consequently, a relatively small price movement in the futures
contract
reference
index may result in an immediate and substantial loss to the Fund.
Over-the-counter instruments, such as swaps and certain purchased options, are
subject to counterparty default risk and liquidity risk. Swap agreements also
involve fees, commissions or other costs that may reduce the Fund's gains from a
swap agreement or may cause the Fund to lose money. The Fund will incur a loss
as a result of a short position if the price of the short position instrument
increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on
which an offsetting position is purchased. Short positions may be considered
speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance
on the Adviser's ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security
or instrument. The Fund's losses are potentially unlimited in a short position
transaction. The Adviser covers hedging positions (buys back, sells or closes
out positions) when it believes market price trends are no longer unfavorable or
security-specific risks are acceptable or when a different hedging vehicle is
more attractive.
Temporary
Investments: To
respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, each Fund
may invest 100% of its respective total assets, without limitation, in
high-quality short-term debt securities and money market instruments. These
short-term debt securities and money market instruments include: shares of money
market mutual funds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’
acceptances, U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements. Investing
primarily in such instruments for temporary defensive purposes would be
inconsistent with the Fund’s investment objective under normal circumstances.
While a Fund is in a defensive position, the opportunity to achieve its
investment objective will be limited. Furthermore, to the extent that a Fund
invests in money market mutual funds for cash positions, there will be some
duplication of expenses because each Fund pays its pro-rata portion of such
money market funds’ advisory fees and operational fees. Each Fund may also
invest a substantial portion of its assets in such instruments at any time to
maintain liquidity or pending selection of investments in accordance with its
policies.
Portfolio
Holdings Disclosure: A
description of each Fund's policies regarding the release of portfolio holdings
information is available in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information
("SAI"). Shareholders may request portfolio holdings schedules at no charge by

located at 1700 Broadway, 39th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Niederhoffer
serves as a sub-adviser to the Macro Strategies Fund. Subject to the authority
of the Board and oversight by the Adviser, this sub-adviser is responsible for
management of a portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio according to the
Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions. The sub-adviser is paid
by the Adviser not the Fund. Niederhoffer was established in 1993 and is a
quantitative trading advisor that employs a short-term, primarily contrarian
strategy to trade the world’s largest and most liquid markets. As of December
31, 2023, Niederhoffer had approximately $817 million in assets under
management.
Niederhoffer
Portfolio Manager:
Roy
Niederhoffer, President, Founder,
founded Niederhoffer in 1993. Mr. Niederhoffer leads the Management Committee
and brings nearly 30 years of experience in the hedge fund
industry.
The
SAI provides additional information about each portfolio manager's compensation,
other accounts managed by the portfolio managers and each portfolio manager's
ownership of Fund shares.
Prior
Performance of GCM
GCM
manages the Graham Tactical Trend Strategy ("Tactical Trend"), an investment
strategy with substantially similar objectives and strategies to those it uses
to manage the portion of the Fund's assets allocated to it.
The
following tables set forth performance data relating to the historical
performance of Tactical Trend, which represents the performance of various
accounts managed by GCM with investment objectives, policies, strategies and
risks substantially similar to those employed by the sub-adviser in the
management of its allocated portion of the Fund. These accounts include a
proprietary account of GCM, which is the longest running account included in the
performance data shown below, and other client accounts. The data, which has
been provided by the sub-adviser, is provided to illustrate the past performance
of the sub-adviser in managing an investment strategy with substantially similar
investment strategies measured against the Barclay CTA Index and the Bank of
America Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill Index and does not represent the
performance of the Fund. The performance data of Tactical Trend is presented on
a pro-forma basis to reflect the fees and expenses applicable to Class I Shares
of the Fund, subject to the Fee Waiver and/or Reimbursement but exclusive of the
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, rather than those applicable to the strategy.
Tactical Trend is not subject to the diversification requirements, specific tax
restrictions and investment limitations imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act, or
Subchapter M of the Code. In particular, in order to comply with asset
segregation rules under the 1940 Act, the Fund will be subject to limitations on
the amount of exposure it may maintain in respect of certain futures, primarily
commodity based and fixed income futures, which limitation does not apply to the
trading of Tactical Trend in the chart. Consequently, the performance results
for Tactical Trend could have been adversely affected if the strategy had been
operated as a registered investment company. Tactical Trend was valued on a
monthly basis, which differs from the Securities and Exchange Commission's
standardized method of calculating performance that employs daily valuation and
may produce different results. You
should not consider the past performance of Tactical Trend as indicative of
future performance of the Fund.
The
fees and expenses associated with an investment in Tactical Trend are different
from the fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Fund;
accordingly, the performance of Tactical Trend shown here has been adjusted to
reflect the estimated fees and expenses of Class I shares of the Fund, as
detailed in the preceding paragraph. If returns had been calculated based on the
estimated fees and expenses of Class A or Class C shares of the Fund, returns
would have been lower.
The
performance presented below for the similarly managed accounts is shown on a net
basis. Results include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. For
those Tactical Trend accounts that are traded on a notionally-funded basis,
unlike the Fund which is fully funded, the performance for such accounts is
adjusted to include interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents
calculated for each month in the reporting period by multiplying the then
applicable Treasury Bill rate by a factor of 0.90, which represents the average
rate of free cash for the portfolio.
The
chart below shows the net annual returns for the Tactical Trend accounts for the
calendar years shown, adjusted to reflect the fees, expenses and interest income
as described above. Rates of return are asset-weighted and are calculated as the
change in total capital, as adjusted for subscriptions and redemptions during
the period.

Prior
Performance of Kettle Hill
KHCM
manages a private investment fund, the Kettle Hill Partners, LP (“LP”), with
substantially similar objectives and strategies as it will use to manage the
portion of the Fund's assets allocated to it. You should not consider the past
performance of the LP as indicative of the future performance of the Fund.
The
following tables set forth performance data relating to the historical
performance of the LP, which represents all of the accounts and funds managed by
KHCM for the periods indicated that have investment objectives, policies,
strategies and risks substantially similar to those employed by the sub-adviser
in the management of its allocated portion of the Fund. The data, which has been
provided by the sub-adviser, is provided to illustrate the past performance of
the sub-adviser in managing a fund with substantially similar investment
strategies, as measured against the Morningstar Global Long/Short Equity Index
and the S&P 500®
Total Return Index and does not represent the performance of the
Fund.
The
LP is not subject to the same types of expenses to which the Fund is subject,
nor to the diversification requirements, specific tax restrictions and
investment limitations imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act, or Subchapter M of
the Code. Consequently, the performance results for the LP could have been
adversely affected if the LP had been regulated as an investment company under
the federal securities laws. The method used to calculate the LP’s performance
differs from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s standardized method of
calculating performance because the LP has not been priced daily and may produce
different results.
The
fees and expenses associated with an investment in the LP are different from the
fees and expenses (after taking into account the expense limitation agreement)
associated with an investment in the Dynamic Opportunity Fund, so that if the
results of the LP were adjusted for expenses of the Dynamic Opportunity Fund,
net returns would have been higher.
The
performance presented below for the LP is shown on a net basis. The net
performance results are net of standard management and performance fees for the
LP. Results include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Returns
from cash and cash equivalents in the LP are included in the performance
calculations, and the cash and cash equivalents are included in the total assets
on which the performance is calculated. The LP was valued on a monthly basis,
which differs from the SEC return calculation method that employs daily
valuation.
The
chart below shows the net annual returns for the LP for the prior ten calendar
years. The LP receives a 1.5% management fee and 20% incentive compensation.

Prior
Performance of Millburn
Millburn
manages the Millburn Diversified Program ("MDP"), an investment strategy with
substantially similar objectives and strategies to those it uses to manage the
portion of the Fund's assets allocated to it.
The
following tables set forth performance data relating to the historical
performance of MDP, which represents the performance of various accounts managed
by Millburn with investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks
substantially similar to those employed by the sub-adviser in the management of
its allocated portion of the Fund. The data, which has been provided by the
sub-adviser, is provided to illustrate the past performance of the sub-adviser
in managing an investment strategy with substantially similar investment
strategies measured against the Barclay CTA Index and the Bank of America
Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill Index and does not represent the performance
of the Fund. The performance data of MDP is presented on a proforma basis to
reflect the fees and expenses applicable to a Millburn offering which provides
for an annual management fee of 2.0% plus a performance-based fee or allocation
of 20%. MDP is not subject to the diversification requirements, specific tax
restrictions and investment limitations imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act, or
Subchapter M of the Code. Consequently, the performance results for MDP could
have been adversely affected if the strategy had been operated as a registered
investment company. MDP was valued on a monthly basis, which differs from the
Securities and Exchange Commission's standardized method of calculating
performance that employs daily valuation and may produce different results.
You
should not consider the past performance of MDP as indicative of future
performance of the Fund.
The
fees and expenses associated with an investment in MDP are different from the
fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Fund; the performance of
MDP shown here has been adjusted as described in the preceding
paragraph.

The
following tables set forth performance data relating to the historical
performance of Alpha, which represents the performance of a limited partnership
managed by Revolution with investment objectives, policies, strategies and risks
substantially similar to those employed by the sub-adviser in the management of
its allocated portion of the Fund. The data, which has been provided by the
sub-adviser,
is
provided to illustrate the past performance of the sub-adviser in managing an

and expenses applicable for the fees charged by the limited partnership which
were 0% annual management fee plus 25% incentive fee (during the period from
inception to December 2013) and an annual management fee of 2% plus 20%
incentive fee thereafter. Alpha is not subject to the diversification
requirements, specific tax restrictions and investment limitations imposed on

Performance of Niederhoffer
Niederhoffer
manages the Niederhoffer Smart Alpha Program ("Smart Alpha"), an investment
strategy with substantially similar objectives and strategies to those it uses
to manage the portion of the Fund's assets allocated to it.
The
following tables set forth performance data relating to the historical
performance of Smart Alpha, which represents the performance of various accounts
managed by Niederhoffer with investment objectives, policies, strategies and
risks substantially similar to those employed by the sub-adviser in the
management of its allocated portion of the Fund. The data, which has been
provided by the sub-adviser, is provided to illustrate the past performance of
the sub-adviser in managing an investment strategy with substantially similar
investment strategies measured against the Barclay CTA Index and the Bank of
America Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill Index and does not represent the
performance of the Fund. The Smart Alpha Program is a carve-out of R.G.
Niederhoffer Diversified Program which has traded since 1993. The performance
data of Smart Alpha is presented on a proforma basis to reflect the fees and
expenses applicable to Smart Alpha Offshore Fund, L.P. which provides for an
annual management fee of 0.9% plus a performance-based fee of 18%. Smart Alpha
is not subject to the diversification requirements, specific tax restrictions
and investment limitations imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act, or
Subchapter
M of the Code. Consequently, the performance results for Smart Alpha could have
been adversely affected if the strategy had been operated as a registered
investment company. Smart Alpha was valued on a monthly basis, which differs
from the Securities and Exchange Commission's standardized method of calculating
performance that employs daily valuation and may produce different results.
You
should not consider the past performance of Smart Alpha as indicative of future
performance of the Fund.
The
fees and expenses associated with an investment in Smart Alpha are different
from the fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Fund; the
performance of Smart Alpha shown here has been adjusted as described in the
preceding paragraph.
The
chart below shows the net annual returns for the Smart Alpha accounts for the

income as described above.

Prior
Performance of Bramshill
Bramshill
Investments, the parent company of Trust and Fiduciary Income Partners LLC,
became the sub-adviser to the Spectrum Income Fund effective September 30, 2020,
prior to which Trust and Fiduciary Income partners LLC served as the adviser.
Trust and Fiduciary Income Partners LLC formed in 2016 from a merger of
Bramshill Investments and Trust and Fiduciary Management Services, Inc.
(“TFMS”). Prior to the merger, TFMS operated as a sub-adviser to the Spectrum
Income Fund. TFIP has previously managed similarly managed accounts and other
accounts, including a registered investment company, with substantially similar
objectives and strategies as those it uses to manage the Income Strategy portion
of the Spectrum Income Fund’s assets allocated to it. The Income Strategy
portion of each Fund only represents one of the strategies utilized by the
Adviser in pursuing the Fund’s investment objective. You
should not consider the past performance of these accounts as indicative of the
future performance of the Fund.
The
following tables set forth performance data relating to the historical
performance of Bramshill's All Weather composite of each similarly managed
account which represents all such client assets managed by Bramshill for the
periods indicated that have investment objectives, policies, strategies and
risks substantially similar to those employed by Bramshill in the management of
its Income Strategy allocated portion of the respective Fund’s assets. The data,
which has been provided by Bramshill, is provided to illustrate the past
performance of the Sub-Adviser in managing accounts with substantially similar
investment strategies, as measured against the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond
Index and the Morningstar Allocation - 70% to 85% Equity, and does not represent
the performance of the Funds.
Bramshill's
All Weather composite is not subject to the same types of expenses to which the
Funds are subject nor to the diversification requirements, specific tax
restrictions and investment limitations imposed on the Funds by the 1940 Act, or
Subchapter M of the Code. Consequently, the performance results for certain
similarly managed accounts could have been adversely affected if they had been
regulated as investment companies under the federal securities laws. The method
used to calculate each account's performance differs from the Securities and
Exchange Commission's standardized method of calculating performance, because
they are not priced daily, and may produce different results. Bramshill's
similarly managed accounts were subject to expenses that are most similar to the
expenses of the Funds’ Class I shares.

the prior ten calendar years shown.

Investment
Subsidiaries – Macro Strategies Fund, Commodities Fund and Market Trend
Fund
The
Macro Strategies Fund, the Commodities Fund and the Market Trend Fund may invest
up to 25% of each Fund’s respective total assets (measured at the time of
purchase) in a Subsidiary. On behalf of the Macro Strategies Fund, the
Subsidiary will invest the majority of its assets in futures contracts and other
investments intended to serves as margin or collateral for futures positions. On
behalf of the Commodities Fund, the Fund’s Subsidiary will invest the majority
of its assets in Underlying Funds, swap contracts, structured notes and other
investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for derivative positions.
On behalf of the Market Trend Fund, the Subsidiary will invest the majority of
its assets in futures contracts and other investments intended to serve as
margin or collateral for futures positions. Each Subsidiary is organized under
the laws of the Cayman Islands, and is overseen by its own board of directors.
Each Fund is the sole shareholder of its respective Subsidiary. It is not
currently expected that shares of a Subsidiary will be sold or offered to other
investors. If, at any time, the Subsidiary proposes to offer or sell its shares
to any investor other than the applicable Fund, you will receive 60 days’ prior
notice of such offer or sale.
As
with the Funds, the Adviser is responsible for each Subsidiary’s day-to-day
business pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with each Subsidiary.
Under this agreement, the Adviser provides the Subsidiaries with the same type
of management services, under the same terms, as are provided to the Funds.
Additionally, for the Macro Strategies Fund’s Subsidiary, the Adviser delegates
execution of investment management to GCM, Millburn, and Revolution, pursuant to
the respective sub-advisory agreements with each sub-adviser, which provide the
Subsidiary with the same type of management services, under the same terms, as
are provided to the Fund. For the Market Trend Fund's Subsidiary, The Adviser
delegates execution of investment management to GCM, pursuant to a sub-advisory
agreement. The advisory agreement with each Subsidiary provides for automatic
termination upon the termination of the investment advisory agreement with
respect to the applicable Fund. The Subsidiaries have also entered into separate
contracts for the provision of custody services with the same service provider
that provides those services to the Funds.
Each
Fund pays the Adviser a fee for its services. The Adviser has contractually
agreed to waive the management fee it receives from each Fund’s Subsidiary, so
long as the Subsidiary is wholly-owned by its respective Fund. This undertaking
will continue in effect for so long as the Funds invest in the Subsidiary, and
may not be terminated by the Adviser unless it first obtains the prior approval
of the Funds’ Board of Trustees for such termination. The Subsidiaries will also
bear the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the custody services that
they receive. Each Fund expects that the expenses borne by its Subsidiary will
not be material in relation to the value of the Fund's assets. It is also
anticipated that the Fund's own expenses will be reduced to some extent as a
result of the payment of such expenses at the Subsidiary level.
The
Subsidiaries will be managed pursuant to compliance policies and procedures that
are the same, in all material respects, as the policies and procedures adopted
by the Funds. As a result, the Adviser is subject to the same investment
policies and restrictions that apply to the management of the Funds, and, in
particular, to the requirements relating to portfolio leverage, liquidity,
brokerage, and the timing and method of the valuation of the Subsidiary’s
portfolio investments. These policies and restrictions are described in detail
in the SAI. The Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer oversees implementation of the
Subsidiary’s policies and procedures and makes periodic reports to the Funds’
Board regarding the Subsidiary's compliance with its policies and procedures.
The
financial statements of the Subsidiaries will be consolidated in the respective
Fund's financial statements, which are included in the Funds’ annual and
semi-annual reports. The Funds’ annual and semi-annual reports are distributed
to shareholders, and copies of the reports are provided without charge
upon
request as indicated on the back cover of this Prospectus. Please refer to the
SAI for additional information about the organization and management of the
Subsidiaries.
HOW
SHARES ARE PRICED
The
NAV and offering price (NAV plus any applicable sales charges) of each class of
shares is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)
(normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open for business.
NAV is computed by determining, on a per class basis, the aggregate market value
of all assets of a Fund, less its liabilities, divided by the total number of
shares outstanding ((assets-liabilities)/number of shares = NAV). The NYSE is
closed on weekends and New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington’s
Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The NAV takes
into account, on a per class basis, the expenses and fees of the Fund, including
management, administration, and distribution fees (if any), which are accrued
daily. The determination of NAV for a share class for a particular day is
applicable to all applications for the purchase of shares, as well as all
requests for the redemption of shares, received by the Fund (or an authorized
broker or agent, or its authorized designee) before the close of trading on the
NYSE on that day.
Generally,
the Funds’ investments are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on
each investment’s primary exchange. Investments traded or dealt in upon one or
more exchanges (whether domestic or foreign) for which market quotations are
readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale shall be valued
at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a
sale on the primary exchange, at the last bid on the primary exchange.
Investments primarily traded in the National Association of Securities Dealers’
Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) National Market System for which market
quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official
Closing Price. If market quotations are not readily available, investments will
be valued at their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Adviser
in accordance with procedures approved by the Board and subject to the overall
oversight of the Board. In these cases, the Fund's NAV will reflect certain
portfolio investments’ fair value rather than their market price. Fair value
pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value
determined for an investment is materially different than the value that could
be realized upon the sale of that investment. The fair value prices can differ
from market prices when they become available or when a price becomes available.
Each
Fund may use independent pricing services to assist in calculating the value of
the Fund's investments. In addition, market prices for foreign investments are
not determined at the same time of day as the NAV for the Funds. Because the
Funds may invest in Underlying Funds which hold portfolio investments primarily
listed on foreign exchanges and these exchanges may trade on weekends or other
days when the Underlying Funds do not price their shares, the value of some of a
Fund's portfolio investments may change on days when you may not be able to buy
or sell Fund shares. In computing the NAV, each Fund values foreign investments
held by the Fund at the latest closing price on the exchange in which they are
traded immediately prior to closing of the NYSE. Prices of foreign investments
quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates.
If events materially affecting the value of an investment in a Fund’s portfolio,
particularly foreign investments, occur after the close of trading on a foreign
market but before the Fund prices its shares, the investment will be valued at
fair value. For example, if trading in a portfolio investment is halted and does
not resume before a Fund calculates its NAV, the Adviser may need to price the
investment using the Fund’s fair value pricing guidelines. Without a fair value
price, short-term traders could take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity and
dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Fair valuation of a Fund’s portfolio
investments can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term
traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent
dilution of the Fund’s NAV by short-term traders. The determination of fair
value involves subjective judgments. As a result, using fair value to price an
investment may result in a price materially different from the prices used by
other mutual funds to determine net asset value or from the price that may be
realized upon the actual sale of the investment.
With
respect to any portion of a Fund's assets that are invested in one or more
open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, each
Fund’s net asset value is calculated based upon the net asset values of those
open-end management investment companies, and the prospectuses
for
these companies explain the circumstances under which those companies will use
fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
HOW
TO PURCHASE SHARES
Share
Classes
This
Prospectus describes three classes of shares offered by the Funds: Class A,
Class C and Class I. The Funds offers these classes of shares so that you can
choose the class that best suits your investment needs. The main differences
between each class are sales charges, ongoing fees and minimum investment
requirements. For information on ongoing distribution fees, see Distribution
Fees
on page 88 of this Prospectus. Each class of shares in a Fund represents an
interest in the same portfolio of investments within that Fund. There is no
investment minimum on reinvested distributions and the Funds may change
investment minimums at any time.
The
Funds reserve the right to waive sales charges and investment minimums. The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on
whether you purchase your shares directly from the Funds or through a financial
intermediary. Intermediaries may have different policies and procedures
regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent
deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”) waivers, which are discussed below. In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Funds or the
purchaser’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship
or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts.
For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary,
shareholders will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the Funds or
through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts. Please see
“Intermediary-Defined Sales Charge Waiver Policies” in Appendix
A
to this Prospectus for more information.
Class
A Shares: Class
A shares are offered at their public offering price, which is the NAV plus the
applicable sales charge and are subject to a distribution plan pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the 1940 Act, under which Class A shares are charged 12b-1
distribution fees of an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net
assets of Class A shares. Over time, fees paid under this distribution plan will
increase the cost of a Class A shareholder’s investment and may cost more than
other types of sales charges. The minimum initial investment in Class A shares
of a Fund is $2,500 for all accounts. The minimum subsequent investment in Class
A shares of a Fund is $500 for all accounts. The sales charge varies, depending
on how much you invest. There are no sales charges on reinvested distributions.
Because of rounding in the calculation of the “offering price”, the actual sales
charge you pay may be more or less than that calculated using the percentages
shown below. The following sales charges apply to your purchases of Class A
shares of a Fund:

"Dealer
reallowance" is the portion of the sales charge deducted from a mutual fund
investment that is paid as a commission to the authorized broker-dealer
responsible for assisting you with your investment in Class A shares of the
Funds. In the case of investments of $1,000,000 or more, no sale charge is
deducted from the cost of your purchase. In that case, the Adviser shall
reimburse the Funds in connection with the Dealer reallowance retained by the
authorized broker-dealer calculated as follows: 1.00% on purchases between $1
million and $3 million, 0.50% on amounts over $3 million but less than $5
million, and 0.25% on amounts over $5 million (except in certain situations
where there are systems
limitations
that result in a slightly different calculation). The dealer reallowance rate is
determined based on the purchase amount combined with the current market value
of existing investments in Class A shares.
As
shown, investors that purchase $1,000,000 or more of a Fund’s Class A shares
will not pay any initial sales charge on the purchase. However, purchases of
$1,000,000 or more of Class A shares are subject to a CDSC on shares redeemed
within 12 months after their purchase in the amount of the dealer reallowance
paid on the shares redeemed. Any applicable CDSC will be based on the original
cost of the shares redeemed. Shares will be aged on the first day of each month
regardless of when in the month they were purchased.
How
to Reduce Your Sales Charge
You
may be eligible to purchase Class A shares at a reduced sales charge. To qualify
for these reductions, you must notify the Funds’ Transfer Agent in writing and
supply your account number at the time of purchase. You may combine your
purchase with those of your “immediate family” (your spouse and your children
under the age of 21) for purposes of determining eligibility. If applicable, you
will need to provide the account numbers of your spouse and your children as
well as the ages of your children.
Rights
of Accumulation:
To
qualify for the lower sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases of Class
A shares, you may combine your new purchases of Class A shares with Class A
shares and Class C shares of the Fund that you already own. The applicable
initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current
purchase and the current value of all other Class A shares and Class C shares
that you own based on the Fund’s current public offering price. The reduced
sales charge will apply only to current purchases and must be requested in
writing when you buy your shares.
Shares
of a Fund held as follows cannot be combined with your current purchase for
purposes of reduced sales charges:
•Shares
held indirectly through financial intermediaries other than your current
purchase broker-dealer (for example, a different broker-dealer, a bank, a
separate insurance company account or an investment advisor);
•Shares
held through an administrator or trustee/custodian of an Employer Sponsored
Retirement Plan (for example, a 401(k) plan) other than employer-sponsored
IRAs;
•Shares
held directly in the Fund account on which the broker-dealer (financial advisor)
of record is different than your current purchase broker-dealer.
Letter
of Intent:
Under
a Letter of Intent (“LOI”), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of
Class A shares of a Fund, with a minimum of $25,000, during a 13-month period.
Any shares purchased within 90 days prior to the date you sign the letter of
intent will be used as credit toward completion, but the reduced sales charge
will only apply to new purchases made on or after that date. At your written
request, Class A share purchases made during the previous 90 days may be
included. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge
you pay. If the full-face amount of the LOI is not invested by the end of the
13-month period, your account will be adjusted to the higher initial sales
charge level for the amount actually invested. You are not legally bound by the
terms of your LOI to purchase the amount of your shares stated in the LOI. The
LOI does, however, authorize the Fund to hold in escrow 5% of the total amount
you intend to purchase. If you do not complete the total intended purchase at
the end of the 13 month period, the Fund's transfer agent will redeem the
necessary portion of the escrowed shares to make up the difference between the
reduced rate sales
charge
(based on the amount you intended to purchase) and the sales charge
that
would normally apply (based on the actual amount you purchased).
Repurchase
of Class A Shares:
If you have redeemed Class A shares of a Fund within the past 120 days, you may
repurchase an equivalent amount of Class A shares of the Fund at NAV without the
normal front-end sales charge. In effect, this allows you to reacquire shares
that you may have had to redeem without repaying the front-end sales charge. You
must notify the Fund that you intend to do so in writing. The Fund must receive
your purchase order within 120 days of your redemption.
Sales
Charge Waivers
The
sales charge on purchases of Class A shares is waived for certain types of
investors, including:
•Current
and retired trustees and officers of the Funds sponsored by the Adviser or any
of its subsidiaries, their families (e.g.,
spouse, children, mother or father) and any purchases referred through the
Adviser.
•Employees
of the Adviser and the sub-advisers and their families, or any full-time
employee or registered representative of the distributor or of broker-dealers
having dealer agreements with the distributor (a “Selling Broker”) and their
immediate families (or any trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan
for the benefit of such persons).
•Any
full-time employee of a bank, savings and loan, credit union or other financial
institution that utilizes a Selling Broker to clear purchases of the Funds’
shares and their immediate families.
•Participants
in certain “wrap-fee” or asset allocation programs or other fee-based
arrangements sponsored by broker-dealers and other financial institutions that
have entered into agreements with the distributor.
•Clients
of financial intermediaries that have entered into arrangements with the
distributor providing for the shares to be used in particular investment
products made available to such clients and for which such registered investment
advisors may charge a separate fee.
•Institutional
investors (which may include bank trust departments and registered investment
advisors).
•Any
accounts established on behalf of registered investment advisors or their
clients by broker-dealers that charge a transaction fee and that have entered
into agreements with the distributor.
•Separate
accounts used to fund certain unregistered variable annuity contracts or Section
403(b) or 401(a) or (k) accounts.
•Employer-sponsored
retirement or benefit plans with total plan assets in excess of $5 million where
the plan’s investments in a Fund are part of an omnibus account. A minimum
initial investment of $1 million in a Fund is required. The distributor in its
sole discretion may waive these minimum dollar requirements.
The
Funds do not waive sales charges for the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale
of shares of a different fund where those shares were subject to a front-end
sales charge (sometimes called an “NAV transfer”).
Investors
may need to provide their financial intermediary with the information necessary
to take full advantage of reduced or waived Class A sales charges. Certain
intermediaries may provide different sales charge waivers or discounts. These
waivers and/or discounts and the applicable intermediaries are described under
“Intermediary-Defined Sales Charge Waiver Policies” in Appendix
A
to this prospectus.
Class
C Shares: If
you select Class C shares, you do not pay an initial sales charge at the time of
purchase. However, the distributor compensates the selling dealer or other
financial intermediary. If you redeem your Class C shares within one year after
purchase, you may be required to pay a CDSC. You will also pay distribution and
service fees of 1.00% each year under a distribution plan that the Funds have
adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Because these fees are paid
out of a Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees increase the
cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales
charges. The distributor uses the money that it receives from the distribution
fees primarily to compensate financial consultants, selected securities brokers
or other financial intermediaries who assist you in purchasing Fund shares and
also to cover the costs of marketing and advertising. The service fees pay for
personal services provided to shareholders and the maintenance of shareholder
accounts. Proceeds from the CDSC and the 1.00% Distribution Plan payments made
in the first year after purchase are paid to the Distributor and are used in
whole or in part by the distributor to pay the Adviser for financing the 1.00%
up-front commission to dealers who sell Class C shares. If you redeem Class C
shares within one year after purchase, you may be charged a CDSC of 1.00%.
Shares acquired through reinvestment of distributions are not subject to a CDSC.
Your CDSC will be based on the original cost of the shares being redeemed. If
you sell only some of your shares, shares not subject to a CDSC are sold
first.
Class
I Shares:
Class I shares of each Fund are sold at NAV without an initial sales charge and
are not subject to Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, but have a higher minimum
initial investment than Class A and
Class
C shares. This means that 100% of your initial investment is placed into shares
of the applicable Fund. Class I shares require a minimum initial investment of
$100,000 and the minimum subsequent investment is $500.
Factors
to Consider When Choosing a Share Class
When
deciding which class of shares of a Fund to purchase, you should consider your
investment goals, present and future amounts you may invest in the Fund, and the
length of time you intend to hold your shares. To help you make a determination
as to which class of shares to buy, please refer back to the examples of the
Funds’ expenses over time in the Fees
and Expenses of the Fund
section for each Fund in this Prospectus. You also may wish to consult with your
financial adviser for advice with regard to which share class would be most
appropriate for you.

Neither
the Funds nor the Transfer Agent consider the U.S. Postal Service or other
independent delivery services to be their agents. Therefore, deposit in the mail
or with such services, or receipt at the U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC post
office box of applications, orders or redemptions requests, does not constitute
receipt by the transfer agent of the Funds. Receipt of purchase orders or
redemption requests is based on when the order is received at the Transfer
Agent’s offices.
The
USA PATRIOT Act requires financial institutions, including the Funds, to adopt
certain policies and programs to prevent money-laundering activities, including
procedures to verify the identity of customers opening new accounts. As
requested on the application, you must supply your full name, date of birth,
social security number and permanent street address. If you are opening an
account in the name of a legal entity (e.g.,
partnership, limited liability company, business trust, corporation, etc.), you
must also supply the identity of the beneficial owners of the legal entity.
Mailing addresses containing only a P.O. Box will not be accepted. This
information will assist the Funds in verifying your identity. Until such
verification is made, the Funds may temporarily limit additional share
purchases. In addition, the Funds may limit additional share purchases or close
an account if they are unable to verify a shareholder’s identity. As required by
law, the Funds may employ various procedures, such as comparing the information
to fraud databases or requesting additional information or documentation from
you, to ensure that the information supplied by you is correct.
Purchase
through Brokers:
You
may invest in the Funds through brokers or agents who have entered into selling
agreements with the Funds’ distributor. The brokers and agents are authorized to
receive purchase and redemption orders on behalf of the Funds. A Fund will be
deemed to have received a purchase when an authorized broker or its designee
receives the order. The broker or agent may set their own initial and subsequent
investment minimums. You may be charged a fee if you use a broker or agent to
buy or redeem shares of a Fund. In addition, Class I Shares may also be
available on certain brokerage platforms. An investor transacting in Class I
Shares through a broker acting as an agent for the investor may be required to
pay a commission and/or other forms of compensation to the broker. Finally,
various servicing agents use procedures and impose restrictions that may be in
addition to, or different
from
those applicable to investors purchasing shares directly from the Funds. You
should carefully read the program materials provided to you by your servicing
agent.
Telephone
Purchases: Investors
may purchase additional shares of the Funds by calling 1-855-523-8637. Unless
you declined telephone options on your account application, and your account has
been open for at least 7 business days, telephone orders will be accepted via
electronic funds transfer from your bank account through the Automated Clearing
House (“ACH”) network. You must have banking information established on your
account prior to making a purchase. If you order is received prior to 4 p.m.
Eastern time, your shares will be purchased at the net asset value calculated on
the day your order is placed.
Telephone
trades must be received by or prior to market close. During periods of high
market activity, shareholders may encounter higher than usual call waits. Please
allow sufficient time to place your telephone transaction.
Purchase
by Wire:
If
you wish to wire money to make an investment in a Fund, please call the Funds at
1-855-523-8637. If you are making your first investment in the LoCorr Funds,
before you wire funds, the transfer agent must have a completed application. You
may mail or overnight deliver your application to the transfer agent. Upon
receipt of your completed application, the transfer agent will establish an
account for you. The account number assigned will be required as part of the
instruction that should be provided to your bank to send the wire. Your bank
must include both the name of the Fund you are purchasing, the account number,
and your name so that your wire is correctly applied. Wired funds must be
received prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time to be eligible for same day pricing.
The Funds and U.S. Bank, N.A. are not responsible for the consequences of delays
resulting from the banking or Federal Reserve wire system, or from incomplete
wiring instructions.
Automatic
Investment Plan:
You
may participate in the LoCorr Funds’ Automatic Investment Plan, an investment
plan that automatically moves money from your bank account and invests it in a
Fund through the use of electronic funds transfers or automatic bank drafts. You
may elect to make subsequent investments by transfers of a minimum of $500 on
specified days of each month into your established Fund account. Please contact
the Funds at 1-855-523-8637 for more information about the Automatic Investment
Plan.
Each
Fund, however, reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any
application to purchase shares. Applications will not be accepted unless they
are accompanied by a check drawn on a U.S. bank, thrift institutions, or credit
union in U.S. funds for the full amount of the shares to be purchased. After you
open an account, you may purchase additional shares by sending a check together
with written instructions stating the name(s) on the account and the account
number, to the above address. Make all checks payable to the Fund in which you
would like to invest. All checks must be in U.S. dollars. The Funds will not
accept payment in cash or money orders. The Funds also do not accept post-dated
checks or any conditional order or payment. To prevent check fraud, the Funds
will not accept third party checks, Treasury checks, credit card checks,
traveler’s checks or starter checks for the purchase of shares.
Note:
U.S.
Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent, will charge a $25 fee
against a shareholder’s account, in addition to any loss sustained by a Fund,
for any purchases that do not clear.
When
Order is Processed
All
shares will be purchased at the NAV per share (plus applicable sales charges, if
any) next determined after a Fund receives your application or request in good
order. All requests received in good order by a Fund before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern
Time) will be processed on that same day. Requests received after 4:00 p.m. will
be processed on the next business day.
|
| |
Good

When making a purchase request, make sure your request is in good order.
“Good order” means your purchase request includes:

disclosure documentation on how to open a retirement account.
Exchange
Privilege
You
can exchange your shares of a Fund for the corresponding class of shares in
another Fund in the LoCorr Investment Trust (if available). Any exchange is
subject to the same minimums as an initial or subsequent investment, as
applicable. You can request your exchange in writing or by calling the transfer
agent at 1-855-523-8637. Be sure to read the current Prospectus for the Fund
into which you are exchanging. Exchanges may only be made on days when both
affected Funds are open for business. Any new account established through an
exchange will have the same registration as the account from which you are
exchanging and will have the same privileges as your original account (as long
as they are available). In addition, the Trust reserves the right to change or
discontinue its exchange privilege, or temporarily suspend this privilege during
unusual market conditions, to the extent permitted under applicable SEC rules.
Conversion
Feature
Class
C shares purchased directly from the Funds or through a financial intermediary,
except as otherwise disclosed in this prospectus, automatically convert to Class
A shares in the month of the 8-year anniversary date of the purchase of the
Class C shares, based on the relative NAV of each such class without the
imposition of any sales charge, fee or other charge.
HOW
TO REDEEM SHARES

Shares: You
may redeem all or any portion of the shares credited to your account by
submitting a written request for redemption to:

Redemptions
by Telephone:
To redeem by telephone, call 1-855-523-8637. The telephone redemption privilege
is automatically available to all new accounts. If you do not want the telephone
redemption privilege, you must indicate this in the appropriate area on your
account application or you must write to the Funds and instruct them to remove
this privilege from your account. You may redeem up to $50,000 using the
telephone redemption privilege.
The
Funds reserve the right to suspend the telephone redemption privileges with
respect to your account if the name(s) or the address on the account has been
changed within the previous 30 days. The Funds, the transfer agent, and their
respective affiliates will not be liable for complying with telephone
instructions they reasonably believe to be genuine or for any loss, damage, cost
or expenses in acting on such telephone instructions and you will be required to
bear the risk of any such loss. If an account has more than one owner or
authorized person, the Fund will accept telephone instructions from any one
owner or authorized person. The Fund or the transfer agent, or both, will employ
reasonable procedures to determine that telephone instructions are genuine. If
the Funds and/or the transfer agent do not employ these procedures, they may be
liable to you for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. These
procedures may include, among others, requiring forms of personal identification
prior to acting upon telephone instructions, providing written confirmation of
the transactions and/or tape recording telephone instructions.
Telephone
trades must be received by or prior to market close. During periods of high
market activity, shareholders may encounter higher than usual call waits. Please
allow sufficient time to place your telephone transaction. Once a telephone
transaction has been placed, it cannot be canceled or modified after the close
of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time).
Redemptions
through Broker:
Broker-dealers
are authorized to receive redemption orders on behalf of the Funds. A Fund will
be deemed to have received a redemption when an authorized broker or its
designee receives the order. If shares of a Fund are held by a broker-dealer,
financial institution or other servicing agent, you must contact that servicing
agent to redeem shares of the Fund. The servicing agent may charge a fee for
this service.
Redemptions
by Wire:
You
may request that your redemption proceeds be wired directly to your bank
account. If you submitted a voided check with your application in order to
establish bank instructions on the account, you may have your redemption
proceeds wire to the predetermined bank account or funds may be sent via
electronic funds transfer through the ACH network, also to the bank account
previously designated. The Funds’ transfer agent imposes a $15 fee for each wire
redemption. This fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds from a complete or
share specific redemption. For partial redemptions, the fee will be deducted
from the account. Your bank may also impose a fee for the incoming wire. You do
not incur any charge when proceeds are sent via the ACH system and credit is
typically available within 2-3 days.
Redemption
Fee and Waiver: The
Spectrum Income Fund charges a redemption fee of 2.00% of the amount redeemed or
exchanged if shares are redeemed or exchanged within 60 days of their
purchase.
The
Spectrum Income Fund has elected not to impose the redemption fee
for:
◦redemptions
and exchanges of Spectrum Income Fund shares acquired through the reinvestment
of dividends and distributions;
◦certain
types of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares owned through
participant-directed retirement plans;
◦redemptions
or exchanges in discretionary asset allocation, fee based or wrap programs
(“wrap programs”) that are initiated by the sponsor/financial advisor as part of
a periodic rebalancing;
◦redemptions
or exchanges in a fee based or wrap program that are made as a result of a full
withdrawal from the wrap program or as part of a systematic withdrawal plan
including the Spectrum Income Fund’s systematic withdrawal plan;
◦involuntary
redemptions, such as those resulting from a shareholder’s failure to maintain a
minimum investment in the Spectrum Income Fund, or
◦other
types of redemptions as the Adviser or the Trust may determine in special
situations and approved by the Trust’s or the Adviser’s Chief Compliance
Officer.
The
Funds typically send redemption proceeds on the next business day (a day when
the NYSE is open for normal business) after the redemption request is received,
regardless of whether the request is made in writing, by telephone, wire, or an
ACH transfer. Under unusual circumstances, the Funds may suspend redemptions, or
postpone payment for up to seven days, as permitted by federal securities law.
Shares purchased by check or electronic funds transfer through the ACH network,
may be sold only after the purchase amount clears, which may take up to seven
calendar days. This delay will not apply if you purchased your shares via wire
payment. Under normal circumstances, the Funds expect to meet redemption
requests through the sale of investments held in cash or cash
equivalents.
The
Funds may also choose to sell portfolio assets for the purpose of meeting such
requests. In situations in which investment holdings in cash or cash equivalents
are not sufficient to meet redemption requests, a Fund may also borrow money
through a bank line-of-credit. Each Fund further reserves the right to
distribute “in kind” securities from the Fund’s portfolio in lieu (in whole or
in part) of cash under certain circumstances, including under stressed market
conditions.
Redemptions
in Kind: Under
normal or stressed market conditions, each Fund reserves the right to honor
requests for redemption or repurchase orders by making payment in whole or in
part in readily marketable securities (“redemption in kind”) if the amount is
greater than (the lesser of) $250,000 or 1% of a Fund’s assets. The securities
will be chosen by the Fund and valued at the Fund’s net asset value. A
shareholder will be exposed to market risk until these securities are converted
to cash and may incur transaction expenses in converting these securities to
cash.
When
You Need Signature Guarantees: If
you wish to change the bank or brokerage account that you have designated on
your account, you may do so at any time by writing to the Funds with your
signature guaranteed. Account transfers. You will need your signature
guaranteed, from either a Medallion program member or a non-Medallion program
member:
•If
ownership is being changed on your account;
•When
redemption proceeds are payable or sent to any person, address or bank account
not on record;
•When
a redemption request is received by the Transfer Agent and the account address
has changed within the last 30 calendar days;
•For
all redemptions in excess of $50,000 from any shareholder account
Signature
guarantees will generally be accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers,
credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities
associations, clearing agencies and savings associations, as well as from
participants in the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program and the
Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”).
A notary public cannot guarantee signatures.
In
addition to the situations described above, the Funds and/or the transfer agent
reserve the right to require a signature guarantee in other instances based on
the circumstances relative to the particular situation. The Funds reserve the
right to waive any signature requirement at their discretion. Non-financial
transactions including establishing or modifying certain services on an account
may require a signature guarantee, signature verification from a Signature
Validation Program member or other acceptable form of authentication from a
financial institution source.
Additional
documents are required for certain type of redemptions such as redemptions from
corporations, partnerships, or from accounts with executors, trustees,
administrations or guardians.
Retirement
Plans: If
you own an IRA or other retirement plan, you must indicate on your written
redemption request whether the Funds should withhold federal income tax. Unless
you elect in your redemption request that you do not want to have federal tax
withheld, the redemption will be subject to withholding. Shares held in IRA and
other retirement plan accounts may be redeemed by telephone at 1-855-523-8637.
Investors will be asked whether or not to withhold taxes from any
distribution.
Low
Balances: If
at any time your account balance in a Fund falls below the amounts per share
class listed in the table below, the Fund may notify you that, unless the
account is brought up to at least the per-class minimum within 60 days of the
notice, your account could be closed.

if the account balance drops below the per-class minimum due to a decline in
NAV.
FREQUENT
PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF FUND SHARES
The
Funds discourage and do not accommodate market timing. Frequent trading into and
out of the Funds can harm all Fund shareholders by disrupting the Funds’
investment strategies, increasing Fund expenses, decreasing tax efficiency and
diluting the value of shares held by long-term shareholders. The Funds are
designed for long-term investors and are not intended for market timing or other
disruptive trading activities. Accordingly, the Funds’ Board has approved
policies that seek to curb these disruptive activities while recognizing that
shareholders may have a legitimate need to adjust their Fund investments as
their financial needs or circumstances change. The Funds currently use several
methods to reduce the risk of market timing. These methods include:
•Committing
staff to review, on a continuing basis, recent trading activity in order to
identify trading activity that may be contrary to the Funds’ “Market Timing
Trading Policy;”
•Rejecting
or limiting specific purchase requests;
•Rejecting
purchase requests from certain investors; and
•Assessing
a redemption fee for short-term trading (for Spectrum Income Fund
only).
Though
these methods involve judgments that are inherently subjective and involve some
selectivity in their application, the Funds seek to make judgments and
applications that are consistent with the interests of the Funds’ shareholders.
Based
on the frequency of redemptions in your account, the Adviser or the Funds may in
the sole discretion of each determine that your trading activity is detrimental
to the Funds as described in the Funds’ Market Timing Trading Policy and elect
to: (i) reject or limit the amount, number, frequency or method for requesting
future purchases into the Funds; and/or (ii) reject or limit the amount, number,
frequency or method for requesting future exchanges or redemptions out of the
Funds.
The
Funds reserve the right to reject or restrict purchase requests for any reason,
particularly when the shareholder’s trading activity suggests that the
shareholder may be engaged in market timing or other disruptive trading
activities. Neither the Funds nor the Adviser will be liable for any losses
resulting from rejected purchase orders. The Adviser may also bar an investor
who has violated these policies (and the investor’s financial advisor) from
opening new accounts with the Funds.
Although
the Funds attempt to limit disruptive trading activities, some investors use a
variety of strategies to hide their identities and their trading practices.
There can be no guarantee that the Funds will be able to identify or limit these
activities. Omnibus account arrangements are common forms of holding shares of
the Funds. While the Funds will encourage financial intermediaries to apply the
Funds’ Market Timing Trading Policy to their customers who invest indirectly in
the Funds, the Funds are limited in their ability to monitor the trading
activity or enforce the Market Timing Trading Policy with respect to customers
of financial intermediaries. For example, should it occur, the Funds may not be
able to detect market timing that may be facilitated by financial intermediaries
or made difficult to identify in the omnibus accounts
used
by those intermediaries for aggregated purchases, exchanges and redemptions on
behalf of all their customers. More specifically, unless the financial
intermediaries have the ability to apply the Funds’ Market Timing Trading Policy
to their customers through such methods as implementing short-term trading
limitations or restrictions and monitoring trading activity for what might be
market timing, the Funds may not be able to determine whether trading by
customers of financial intermediaries is contrary to the Market Timing Trading
Policy. Brokers maintaining omnibus accounts with the Funds have agreed to
provide shareholder transaction information to the extent known to the broker to
the Funds upon request. If the Funds or their transfer agent or shareholder
servicing agent suspect there is market timing activity in the account, the
Funds will seek full cooperation from the service provider maintaining the
account to identify the underlying participant. At the request of the Fund or
the Adviser, the service providers may take immediate action to stop any further
short-term trading by such participants.
TAX
STATUS, DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Any
sale or exchange of the Funds’ shares may generate tax liability (unless you are
a tax-exempt investor or your investment is in a qualified retirement account).
When you redeem your shares you may realize a taxable gain or loss. This is
measured by the difference between the proceeds of the sale and the tax basis
for the shares you sold. (To aid in computing your tax basis, you generally
should retain your account statements for the period that you hold shares in the
Funds.)
Each
Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income at
least annually and net capital gains annually. Both types of distributions will
be reinvested in shares of the Fund unless you elect to receive cash. If you
would like to change your distribution options, you may write or call the
transfer agent in advance of the next distribution. Dividends from net
investment income (including any excess of net short-term capital gain over net
long-term capital loss) are taxable to investors as ordinary income, while
distributions of net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over
net short-term capital loss) are generally taxable as long-term capital gain,
regardless of your holding period for the shares. Any dividends or capital gain
distributions you receive from a Fund will normally be taxable to you when made,
regardless of whether you reinvest dividends or capital gain distributions or
receive them in cash. Certain dividends or distributions declared in October,
November or December will be taxed to shareholders as if received in December if
they are paid during the following January. Each year the Funds will inform you
of the amount and type of your distributions. IRAs and other qualified
retirement plans are exempt from federal income taxation until retirement
proceeds are paid out to the participant.
If
you elect to receive distributions and/or capital gains paid in cash, and the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the check, or if a check remains outstanding
for six months, the Fund reserves the right to reinvest the distribution check
in your account, at the Fund's current net asset value, and to reinvest all
subsequent distributions. You can change the distribution option on your account
at any time by writing or calling the transfer agents. Any request to change
your option should be submitted five days prior to the record date of the next
distribution.
Your
redemptions, including exchanges, may result in a capital gain or loss for
federal tax purposes. A capital gain or loss on your investment is the
difference between the cost of your shares, including any sales charges, and the
amount you receive when you sell them.
Beginning
in 2013, pursuant to provisions of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act, a 3.8% Medicare tax on net investment income (including capital gains and
dividends) will also be imposed on individuals, estates and trusts, subject to
certain income thresholds.
On
the application, you will be asked to certify that your social security number
or taxpayer identification number is correct and that you are not subject to
backup withholding for failing to report income to the IRS. If you are subject
to backup withholding or you did not certify your taxpayer identification
number, the IRS requires the Funds to withhold a percentage of any dividend,
redemption or exchange proceeds.
The
Funds reserve the right to reject any application that does not include a
certified social security or taxpayer identification number.
This
summary is not intended to be and should not be construed to be legal or tax
advice. You should consult your own tax advisors to determine the tax
consequences of owning the Funds’ shares.
DISTRIBUTION
OF SHARES
Distributor:
Quasar
Distributors, LLC, Three Canal Plaza, Suite 100, Portland, Maine 04101, is the
principal underwriter/distributor for the shares of the Funds. The distributor
is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Shares of the Funds are offered on a continuous
basis.
Distribution
Fees: The
Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (“12b-1 Plan” or “Plan”), for Class A and
Class C shares pursuant to which each Fund pays the Fund's distributor an annual
fee for distribution and shareholder servicing expenses as indicated in the
following table of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to the
respective class of shares.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Class |
A |
C |
12b-1
Fee |
up
to 0.25% |
up
to 1.00% |
The
1.00% fee for Class C shares consists of a 0.75% distribution fee and a 0.25%
shareholder servicing fee. The Funds’ distributor and other entities are paid
under the Plan for services provided and the expenses borne by the distributor
and others in the distribution of Fund shares, including the payment of
commissions for sales of the shares and incentive compensation to and expenses
of dealers and others who engage in or support distribution of shares or who
service shareholder accounts, including overhead and telephone expenses;
printing and distribution of prospectuses and reports used in connection with
the offering of the Fund's shares to other than current shareholders; and
preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature and advertising
materials. In addition, the distributor or other entities may utilize fees paid
pursuant to the Plan to compensate dealers or other entities for their
opportunity costs in advancing such amounts, which compensation would be in the
form of a carrying charge on any un-reimbursed expenses. Over time, 12b-1 fees
paid under this distribution and service plan will increase the cost of a Class
A or Class C shareholder's investment and may cost more than other types of
sales charges.
Additional
Compensation to Financial Intermediaries: The
Funds’ distributor, its affiliates, and the Funds’ Adviser and its affiliates
may, at their own expense and out of their own assets, including their
legitimate profits from Fund-related activities, provide additional cash
payments to financial intermediaries who sell shares of the Funds. Financial
intermediaries include brokers, financial planners, banks, insurance companies,
retirement or 401(k) plan administrators and others. These payments may be in
addition to the Rule 12b-1 fees and any sales charges that are disclosed
elsewhere in this Prospectus.
These
payments are generally made to financial intermediaries that provide shareholder
or administrative services, or marketing support. Marketing support may include
access to sales meetings, sales representatives and financial intermediary
management representatives, inclusion of the Funds on a sales list, including a
preferred or select sales list, or other sales programs. These payments also may
be made as an expense reimbursement in cases where the financial intermediary
provides shareholder services to Fund shareholders. The distributor may, from
time to time, provide promotional incentives to certain investment firms. Such
incentives may, at the distributor’s discretion, be limited to investment firms
who allow their individual selling representatives to participate in such
additional compensation.
Householding:
To
reduce expenses, the Funds mail only one copy of the prospectus to those
addresses shared by two or more accounts. If you wish to receive individual
copies of these documents, please call the Funds at 1-855-523-8637 on days the
Funds are open for business or contact your financial institution. The Funds
will begin sending you individual copies thirty days after receiving your
request.
Lost
Shareholders, Inactive Accounts and Unclaimed Property: It
is important that the Funds maintain a correct address for each investor. An
incorrect address may cause an investor’s account statements and other mailings
to be returned to the Funds. Based upon statutory requirements for returned
mail, the Funds will attempt to locate the investor or rightful owner of the
account. If the Funds are unable to locate the investor, then they will
determine whether the investor’s account can legally be
considered
abandoned. Your mutual fund account may be transferred to the state government
of your state of residence if no activity occurs within your account during the
“inactivity period” specified in your state’s abandoned property laws, which
varies by state. The Funds are legally obligated to escheat (or transfer)
abandoned property to the appropriate state’s unclaimed property administrator
in accordance with statutory requirements. The investor’s last known address of
record determines which state has jurisdiction. To help protect their accounts,
shareholders should keep their accounts up-to-date and active, which may include
calling the Funds at 1-855-523-8637 to generate shareholder initiated activity
such as completing an account transaction. Investors who are residents of the
state of Texas may designate a representative to receive legislatively required
unclaimed property due diligence notifications. Please contact the Fund to
complete a Texas Designation of Representative form.
