The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio
in the Fund's financial highlights because the financial statements include only
the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund.
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, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 76% 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 futures contracts traded on the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME"). The Fund will allocate less than 5% of Fund
assets in Bitcoin 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
Futures Risk: The
market for Bitcoin futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid
and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the Bitcoin
futures market has grown substantially since Bitcoin futures commenced trading,
there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. The price for Bitcoin
futures contracts is based on a number of factors, including the supply of and
the demand for Bitcoin futures contracts. Market conditions and expectations,
position limits, collateral requirements, and other factors each can impact the
supply of and demand for Bitcoin 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. Additional demand, including demand resulting from
the purchase, or anticipated purchase, of Bitcoin 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 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 Bitcoin futures contracts and Bitcoin may differ and
may not be correlated with each other, over short or long periods of
time.
Bitcoin
may experience very high volatility and related investments, such as Bitcoin
futures, may be affected by such volatility. As a cryptocurrency, Bitcoin
operates without central authority and is not backed by any government. Large
sales by a few holders of significant amounts of Bitcoin (commonly referred to
as “whales”) could depress the price of Bitcoin. Federal, state or foreign
governments may restrict the use and exchange of Bitcoin, and regulation in the
U.S. is still developing. Increased regulation might tend to depress the price
of Bitcoin. Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of
the Bitcoin Network or restrict the use of Bitcoin. The realization of any of
these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of bitcoin and
consequently a reduction in the value of Bitcoin, Bitcoin 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 www.LoCorrFunds.com.

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 range up to 1.50% of 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.
(5) Acquired Fund Fees
and Expenses are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies.
The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio
in the Fund's financial highlights because the financial statements include only
the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund.
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, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was
90% 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. 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.
•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 www.LoCorrFunds.com.

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, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio
turnover rate was 100% 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.

Information: Dividends
and capital gain distributions you receive from the Fund, whether you reinvest
your distributions in additional Fund shares or receive them in cash, are
taxable to you at either ordinary income or capital gains tax rates unless you
are investing through a tax-deferred plan such as an IRA or 401(k) plan.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries: If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary
for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a
conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.

expenses incurred by the Fund in the normal course of operations together with
recoupment of management fees previously reimbursed to the Fund. Such expenses
are borne by the Fund separately from the management fees paid to the Advisor.
(4) Acquired Fund Fees

(5) The Fund's Adviser has
contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund,
until at least April 30,
2024, to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After
Fee Waiver and/or Reimbursement (exclusive of any Rule 12b-1 distribution and/or
servicing fees, taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in
connection with any merger or reorganization, dividend expenses on short sales,
swap fees, indirect expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which
the Fund may invest, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses and
inclusive of offering and organizational costs incurred prior to the
commencement of operations) will not 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, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was
686% 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 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 www.LoCorrFunds.com.

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, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was
50% 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 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 www.LoCorrFunds.com.

(1) 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 Futures. Bitcoin is a digital
asset, also as known as a cryptocurrency, that can be transferred on a
peer-to-peer basis. Unlike traditional currencies, bitcoin is decentralized,
meaning that the supply of bitcoin is not determined by a central government,
but rather by software protocols that limit both the total amount of bitcoin
that will be produced and the rate at which such bitcoin are released into the
Bitcoin network. The Bitcoin network is a decentralized record of bitcoin
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 bitcoin is not maintained by any central entity, but rather, is
maintained by multiple different independent computers and entities
simultaneously. Ownership and transaction records for bitcoin 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
transactions on the bitcoin blockchain are verified by “miners.” Bitcoin
“miners” are people or companies who create new bitcoin by solving complex math
problems that verify transactions in the currency. 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. In addition to miners, the Bitcoin network
is collectively maintained by developers (who propose improvements to the
protocols) and users. Bitcoin and Bitcoin Futures are a relatively new asset
class and are subject to unique and substantial risks, including the risk that
the value of the Fund’s investments could decline rapidly, including to zero.
Bitcoin and Bitcoin Futures have historically been more volatile than
traditional asset classes.
The
Fund will only invest in cash-settled Bitcoin Futures. “Cash-settled” means that
when the relevant futures contract expires, if the value of the underlying 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. 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 value of Bitcoin Futures is
determined by reference to the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, which provides an
indication of the price of bitcoin across certain cash bitcoin
exchanges.
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
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
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.
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
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
pric
