Fund Correlation Matrix
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Futures prices may be very volatile. The small margin required for futures contracts magnifies the effect of market volatility and allows the loss from a contract potentially to exceed the Fund’s initial investment. With short contracts, the loss is theoretically unlimited since the appreciation of the underlying asset also is theoretically unlimited. Fund assets not invested in futures are invested primarily in investment-grade bonds. Bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise. Frequent trading by the Fund may reduce returns and increase the number of taxable transactions. Concentration of its portfolio in relatively few issuers may make the Fund more volatile than a diversified fund.
You should consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.

Commentary
Within the wide variety of programs in the category, our strategy is one of two single manager, short-term counter trend funds. Our models seek to exploit overreactions in equity markets and profit from the short-term mean reversion often observed following outsized moves (up or down). We expect the Fund to perform well in choppy or ‘noisy’ markets, while being more muted in steadilyrising markets. With the VIX again below its long-term average, and noise at low levels for most of the quarter, the Fund performed in line with expectations.
