An investment in the Tactical Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”) is subject to risks, and you could lose money on your investment. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Lower-quality bonds, known as high-yield bonds or “junk bonds,” present a significant risk for loss of principal and interest. These bonds offer the potential for higher return, but also involve greater risk than bonds of higher quality. The lower the credit rating of a security, the greater the risk is that the issuer will default on its obligation. The value of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities and derivatives will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities and derivatives owned by the Fund.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund. This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained by calling 800.766.2264. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
