​1        Purchases of Class A shares of $1 million or more may be subject to a 1.00% deferred sales charge on redemptions within 12 months of purchase.

​2        Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% deferred sales charge on redemptions within 12 months of purchase.

3        The Fund invests in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. “Other Expenses” include expenses of both the Fund and the wholly-owned subsidiary.

4        The Fund’s advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses (excluding any taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, acquired fund fees and expenses (as determined in accordance with SEC Form N-1A), professional fees related to services for the collection of foreign tax reclaims, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 1.55%, 2.30%, and 1.30% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares, respectively, of the Fund. This agreement is in effect through February 28, 2027, and it may be terminated before that date only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Fund’s advisor is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Fund, subject to certain limitations, of fees waived or payments made by the advisor to the Fund for a period ending three years after the date of the waiver or payment. Such reimbursement may be requested from the Fund if the reimbursement will not cause the Fund’s annual expense ratio to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limitation in effect at the time such fees were waived or payments made, or (b) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the reimbursement. Reimbursements of fees waived or payments made will be made on a “first in, first out” basis so that the oldest fees waived or payments are satisfied first.

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. The example reflects the Fund’s contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement only for the term of the contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the portfolio turnover rate for the Fund was 0% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks diverse exposure to macro trading opportunities such as significant price trends, both up and down, across asset classes, geographies and time horizons. The Fund may take long and/or short positions in asset classes, and the Fund’s advisor dynamically adjusts its exposure to individual asset classes utilizing trend-following and macro trading approaches. As a component of its overall investment process, the Fund’s advisor may utilize certain quantitative models and methodologies to guide its investment approach or security selection although the use of such models and methodologies may vary based on market factors and economic trends, as determined by the advisor.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing directly and/or indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”) in securities and derivative instruments including, but not limited to, equity index futures and options, swaps on equity index futures, equity swaps, interest rate futures and options, fixed income futures and options, swaps on fixed income futures, commodity and commodity index-linked futures and options, swaps on commodity and commodity index-linked futures, currency futures and options, swaps on currency futures, currency forwards and equity-, fixed income-, and commodity-notes. When used in this Prospectus, the term “Fund” includes the Subsidiary and the term “invest” includes investments the Fund makes directly and through the Subsidiary. There are no geographic limits on the Fund’s holdings and the Fund will have exposure to U.S. and non-U.S. securities and currencies.

In addition, the Fund may have exposure to issuers of any size and credit quality. The Fund also invests a significant portion of its assets in investment grade money market instruments, which may include, but are not limited to, U.S. government securities, U.S. government agency securities, short-term fixed income securities, repurchase agreements, money market mutual fund shares, and cash and cash equivalents. The Fund’s money market instrument holdings may serve as collateral for the Fund’s derivative positions and may also earn income for the fund. The Fund’s return is expected to be derived principally from changes in the value of securities and its portfolio is expected to consist principally of securities.

The Fund’s use of futures, forwards, swaps and certain other financial instruments will have the economic effect of financial leverage. Financial leverage magnifies the exposure to the swings in prices of an asset class underlying a financial instrument and results in increased volatility, which means that the Fund has the potential for greater gains and losses, than if the Fund did not use financial instruments with leverage. A decline in the Fund’s assets due to losses magnified by the financial instruments providing leveraged exposure may require the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations, to meet redemption requests or to meet the applicable requirements of the 1940 Act, and the rules thereunder.

The Fund will enter into short positions, and it may use futures and swaps or sell a security short to do so. For example, the Fund may enter into a futures contract pursuant to which it agrees to sell an asset (that it does not currently own) at a specified price at a specified point in the future. This gives the Fund a short position with respect to the asset. At times, the Fund may have significant short positions.

The Fund intends to make investments through the Subsidiary and may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Fund will invest in the Subsidiary primarily to gain exposure to the commodities markets and crypto assets within the limitations of the U.S. federal tax laws, rules and regulations that apply to regulated investment companies. Generally, the Subsidiary will invest in long and short commodity-linked futures and swaps, but it may also invest in other types of futures, swaps and options, as well as certain money market instruments, including U.S. government securities, money market fund shares, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term fixed income instruments. The primary purpose of the money market instruments held by the Subsidiary will be to serve as collateral for the Subsidiary’s derivative positions; however, these instruments may also earn income for the Subsidiary. In addition, the Subsidiary may also invest in exchange-traded products that are listed and traded on U.S. exchanges and primarily hold crypto assets (i.e., bitcoin, ether, or other cryptocurrencies) (“Crypto Asset ETPs”) and futures contracts linked to crypto assets (“Crypto Asset Futures”). Crypto assets (also referred to as “cryptocurrencies”, “virtual currencies”, and “digital currencies”) are digital assets that are designed to act as a medium of exchange. Crypto assets are not issued by a government, bank, or central organization, and they exist via online, peer-to-peer computer networks that host public transaction ledgers where transfers are recorded on a blockchain. The Fund, through the Subsidiary, may have exposure to crypto assets equal to up to 10% of the Fund’s net assets. The Subsidiary is managed by the advisor and has the same objective as the Fund.

The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that a relatively high percentage of its assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers of securities.

Performance

The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class A Shares and by showing how the average annual total returns of each class of the Fund compare with the average annual total returns of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index, a broad-based securities market index, and the Credit Suisse Managed Futures Liquid Index. Performance for classes other

than those shown may vary from the performance shown to the extent the expenses for those classes differ. Effective February 28, 2026, the Fund changed its principal investment strategies to reflect the utilization of trend-following and macro trading approaches, and to add exposure to certain crypto assets. Consequently, performance during periods prior to February 28, 2026, does not reflect the Fund’s current investment strategies, and the Fund’s performance may have differed if the Fund’s current investment strategies had been in place. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
