Equity Investing Risk: The market prices of equity securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that may directly relate to the issuer and also may decline due to general industry or market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk: The Fund's assets will be concentrated in the consumer discretionary sector, which
means the Fund will be more affected by the performance of the consumer discretionary sector than a fund that is more diversified. The success of consumer product manufacturers and retailers is tied closely to the performance of the overall domestic and global economy, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence. Success depends heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending. Also, companies in the consumer discretionary sector may be subject to severe competition, which may have an adverse impact on their respective profitability. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes can also affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products and services in the marketplace.
Call Writing Options Strategy Risk: The Fund's use of call options involves speculation and can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying stock, index, or other asset, which may be magnified by certain features of the options. The Fund's successful use of call options depends on the ability of the Adviser to forecast market movements correctly. For example, if the Fund were to write (sell) a call option on an index or security based on the Adviser's expectation that the price of an index or security would fall, but the price were to rise instead, the Fund could be required to sell the underlying asset upon exercise at a price below the current market price. When selling a call option, the Fund will receive a premium; however, this premium may not be enough to offset a loss incurred by the Fund if the price of the underlying asset is above the strike price by an amount equal to or greater than the premium. The value of an option may be adversely affected if the market for the option becomes less liquid or smaller, and will be affected by changes in the value or yield of the option's underlying asset, an increase in interest rates, a change in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market or the underlying asset and the remaining time to expiration. Additionally, the value of an option does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the underlying asset(s). In addition, if the price of the underlying asset of an option is above the strike price of a written call, the value of the option, and consequently of the Fund, may decline significantly more than if the Fund invested directly in the underlying asset instead of using options. The Fund could experience a loss if its options do not perform as anticipated, or are not correlated with the performance of their underlying asset or if the Fund is unable to purchase or liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market. As an option on an underlying asset held by the Fund nears expiration, they are generally closed out and replaced by another option with a later expiration (commonly referred to as “rolling the option”). There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to roll the option or effect a
different closing transaction at any particular time or at an acceptable price. The sale of call options by the Fund may create investment leverage.
Frequent selling of call options may result in higher Fund expenses and may result in increased distributions to investors, including potentially increased
distributions that are taxable to individuals as ordinary income.
FLEX Options: The Fund may utilize FLEX Options guaranteed for
settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”). Although unlikely, it is possible the OCC
is unable to meet its settlement obligations, which could result in substantial loss for the Fund. FLEX Options may be less liquid than more traditional
exchange-traded option contracts. Upon expiration, the FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the expiration date may vary due to factors other than the value of underlying asset, such as interest rate changes, changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, a change in the actual and perceived volatility of the
stock market and underlying asset, and the remaining time to expiration.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk: The Fund is subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities represented by an underlying ETF in which it invests. In addition, the shares of an underlying ETF may trade at a premium or discount to their intrinsic value (i.e., the market value may differ from the net asset value (“NAV”) of an
ETF's shares) for a number of reasons. For example, supply and demand for shares of an underlying ETF or market disruptions may cause the market price of the underlying ETF to deviate from the value of the underlying ETF's investments, which may be exacerbated in less liquid markets.
Affiliated ETF Risk: The Fund invests in an
affiliated underlying ETF and, as a result, the Fund's investment performance and risks are directly related to the investment performance and risks
of the affiliated ETF. In addition, the Adviser may have an incentive to take into account the effect on an affiliated ETF in which the Fund may
invest in determining whether, and under what circumstances, to purchase or sell shares in that affiliated ETF. Although the Adviser takes steps to
address the conflicts of interest, it is possible that the conflicts could impact the Fund.
