| Risk [Text Block] |
As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Many factors
affect the Funds net asset value and performance.
| ● | Market
and Geopolitical Risk: The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and
financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial
market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities
in the Funds portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation),
interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics,
epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental
actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as worldwide
pandemic, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises
and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects
global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting global
financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those
effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk
profile of the Fund. For example, COVID-19 global pandemic had negative impacts, and in many
cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long the impacts
of the significant events described above, will last, but there could be a prolonged period
of global economic slowdown, which may impact your Fund investment. Therefore, the Fund could
lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods
during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset
classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have
the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions,
you could lose your entire investment. The Advisers specialized research helps to
mitigate this risk. In the event, activists have a period of significant underperformance,
the Funds may also experience a period of underperformance. The Adviser endeavors to address
this risk through diversification across several activists, activist styles, and strategies. |
| ● | Equity
Securities Risk: The prices of equity and preferred securities fluctuate based on changes
in a companys financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. The
value of equity securities purchased by the Fund could decline if the financial condition
of the companies the Fund invests in decline or if overall market and economic conditions
deteriorate. |
| ● | Foreign
Risk: Foreign
markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer,
political, regulatory, market, economic developments or currency exchange rates and can perform
differently from the U.S. market. The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate based on
changes in the value of the foreign securities held by any Underlying Funds that invest in
such securities. |
| ● | Non-Diversification
Risk: The Fund is a non-diversified investment company, which makes the value of the
Funds shares more susceptible to certain risks than shares of a diversified investment
company. The Fund has a greater potential to realize losses upon the occurrence of adverse
events affecting a particular issuer. |
| ● | Small
and Medium Capitalization Company Risk: The value of small or medium capitalization company
stocks may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more
established companies or the market averages in general. |
| ● | Currency
Forwards Risk: The Fund may enter into currency forward transactions to hedge the exposure
of portfolio holdings that are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency forward
transactions involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately
predicted and that the Funds hedging strategies will be ineffective. |
| ● | Conflicts
of Interest Risk: The
Adviser has conflicts of interest that could interfere with their management of the Fund,
which are described in more detail in the Funds Statement of Additional Information
(SAI). The principal owner of the Adviser
also operates an institutional research firm which is under common control of the Adviser.
The Advisers affiliate publishes reports on all material Fund filings to subscribers.
The affiliate is not a registered investment adviser and the information contained in the
reports is not organized or presented in a manner that suggests the holding, purchase or
sale of any security. The subscribers to the reports are a variety of organizations including
investment banks and law firms, many long/short hedge funds, large institutional investors,
activist hedge funds, investor relations companies and proxy solicitors. Although the securities
of companies described in the reports may be eligible for the Funds portfolio, the
reports do not indicate whether or not securities of such companies will be bought or sold
by the Fund. In addition, subscribers receive no nonpublic information regarding holdings
of the Funds portfolio. However, subscribers may make their own investment decisions
using information contained in the reports. If subscribers buy or sell securities that are
described in the reports, this could positively or negatively impact the price of securities
bought or sold by the Fund. |
| ● | Management
Risk: The Advisers dependence on its activist strategy and objective judgments
about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular securities in which
the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect as there is no guarantee that the Advisers
investment strategy will produce the desired results. |
| ● | Regulatory
Risk: Legal, tax, and regulatory developments may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory
environment for the Fund is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment funds and
other financial institutions or products, and their trading activities and capital markets,
or a regulators disagreement with the Funds interpretation of the application
of certain regulations, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment
strategy. |
| ● | Shareholder
Concentration Risk: The Fund is used as an investment in certain model portfolios or
other asset allocation programs sponsored by financial intermediaries and may have a large
percentage of its shares held in such programs. The Fund may experience large redemptions
or large purchases if any of these programs reduce or increase their targeted allocations
to the Fund. Other large investors also may have a significant ownership stake in the Fund.
Large redemption or purchase activity could have adverse effects on performance to the extent
that the Fund incurs additional costs or is required to sell securities, invest cash, or
hold a relatively large amount of cash at times when it would not otherwise do so. |
