Q.
|
What is the attached document and why are we sending it to you?
|
A.
|
The attached document is a Proxy Statement and is being provided to you by the FundX Upgrader Funds (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”), which are currently series of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies to vote on the proposal (the “Proposal”).
Proposal 1 relates to a proposal to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization under which all of the assets of each Fund will be transferred to a corresponding newly formed series (each a “New Fund” and together the “New Funds”) of FundX Investment Trust (the “New Trust”), in exchange solely for (1) shares of the New Fund having equal value, which will be distributed proportionately to the shareholders of the Fund as indicated below, and (2) the New Fund’s assumption of the Fund’s liabilities (each a “Proposed Reorganization” and collectively the “Proposed Reorganizations”).
The Proxy Statement contains the information that shareholders of the Funds should know before voting on the Proposal at the special meeting of shareholders (“Special Meeting”).
Approval for the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with respect to each Fund requires an affirmative vote of the lesser of: (a) 67% or more of the Fund’s shares represented at the Special Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding shares.
|
Q.
|
What are the Proposed Reorganizations under Proposal 1?
|
A.
|
It is proposed that each Fund be reorganized into a corresponding New Fund, which is a newly created series of the New Trust. The New Trust has been recently established as a Delaware statutory trust and is overseen by its own Board. The chart below shows how the Funds will be reorganized as a result of the Proposed Reorganizations:

Q.
|
What will happen to the Funds if Proposal 1 is approved by shareholders?
|
A.
|
Subject to the approval of shareholders as described below, each Fund will be reorganized into a corresponding New Fund. All of the assets and liabilities of each Fund will be transferred to and assumed by the corresponding New Fund, and you, as a shareholder of a Fund, will receive exactly the same number and dollar amount of shares of the New Fund as you held in the corresponding Fund on the effective date of the Proposed Reorganization. Subsequently, each Fund will be liquidated and terminated. Each Proposed Reorganization requires approval by the participating Fund’s shareholders. Notwithstanding any differences in the fundamental investment restrictions, there will be no material effect on the way the Funds are managed.
|
Q.
|
Why are the Funds reorganizing into the New Funds?
|
A.
|
As noted above, the Funds are currently series of the Trust, which is a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is organized as a “multiple-series trust” or ”MST,” whereby a common Board of Trustees provides oversight to, and a common set of service providers provide non-investment management services to, a number of different funds managed by a number of different unaffiliated investment managers. The Funds form only a part of the Trust and FundX Investment Group, LLC (“FundX” or the “Advisor”), the Funds’ investment advisor, is one of a number of investment advisors that provide investment management services to various funds in the Trust. The Board of the Trust believes that the MST structure can often provide for significant benefits and efficiencies to funds and their shareholders.
The Board of the Trust understands, however, that the benefits of the MST structure may be less pronounced in certain circumstances than in others. As a result of FundX’s focused growth strategy for its businesses, FundX expects to continue to grow the Funds and to expand the number of fund offerings it provides. While FundX believes that the Board of the Trust has served the Funds and their shareholders well, FundX also believes that given this growth strategy, it would be appropriate at this time to restructure the Funds into the more traditional format. Under this structure, the Board of the New Trust will oversee the New Funds, and any newly created series of the New Trust, each of which will be advised by FundX.
|
Q.
|
What should I know about the New Funds?
|
A.
|
FundX currently serves as the investment advisor to the Funds and, if the Proposed Reorganizations are approved, FundX will continue to be the investment advisor to the New Funds.
The Proposed Reorganizations will not result in a change to the Funds’ investment objective, principal investment strategies, risks, fundamental limitations (except with respect to the FundX Aggressive Upgrader Fund and the FundX Conservative Upgrader Fund where they are substantially similar to the fundamental investment restrictions of the corresponding New Funds), non-fundamental limitations, investment advisor and other key service providers. The, Proposed Reorganizations are not expected to result in an increase in the total annual fund operating expenses of the Funds, In addition, FundX has agreed to maintain the Funds’ current fee caps set forth in the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement for the New Funds until January 31, 2016 following the completion of the Proposed Reorganizations. FundX will be entitled to recoup any expenses paid or advisory fees waived prior to the Proposed Reorganizations under the same conditions as are currently in effect.
It is important to note that, if the Proposed Reorganizations are approved, you will receive New Fund shares equal in value as of the Proposed Reorganizations’ closing date to shares of the corresponding Fund you hold as of such date. A Proposed Reorganization will not affect the value of your investment at the time of the Proposed Reorganization, and your interest in a Fund will not be diluted. The Proposed Reorganizations are expected to be tax-free to each Fund and its shareholders.
|
Q.
|
What happens if a Proposed Reorganization is not approved?
|
A.
|
The consummation of any Proposed Reorganization is not contingent on the consummation of any other Proposed Reorganization. Thus, if any Fund’s shareholders do not approve the Proposed Reorganization involving that Fund, that Reorganization will not be effected, but the Reorganizations of the other Funds will not be affected thereby. In such a case, the Fund will continue its operations beyond the date of the Proposed Reorganization.
|
Q.
|
Will I be able to purchase and redeem shares and receive distributions the same way?
|
A.
|
The Proposed Reorganizations will not affect your right to purchase and redeem shares and to receive distributions.
|
Q.
|
What action has the Board taken?
|
A.
|
After careful consideration, the Board of the Trust, including a majority of its members who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”)) (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Proposal and authorized the solicitation by the Funds of proxies voting “FOR” the Proposal.
|
Q.
|
Who bears the expenses associated with the Proposal?
|
A.
|
FundX will bear expenses associated with the Proposal. The expenses include costs relating to preparation, printing and distribution of the Proxy Statement and the legal fees and accounting fees with respect to the Proposal and Proxy Statement and expenses of holding the Special Meeting and soliciting shareholder votes. The Funds will not incur any expenses in connection with the Proposal.
|
Q.
|
Who is AST Fund Solutions?
|
A.
|
AST Fund Solutions is a third party proxy vendor that FundX has engaged to contact shareholders and record proxy votes. In order to hold the Special Meeting, a quorum must be reached. If a quorum is not attained, the meeting must adjourn to a future date. Voting your shares immediately will help to prevent the need to call you to solicit your vote.
|
Q.
|
Who is eligible to vote?
|
A.
|
Shareholders of record of each Fund as of the close of business on May 23, 2014 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to be present and to vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Those shareholders will be entitled to cast one vote for each full share and a fractional vote for each fractional share they hold on the Proposal affecting their Fund presented at the Special Meeting.
|
Q.
|
I am a small investor. Why should I bother to vote?
|
A.
|
Your vote is needed to ensure that a quorum is present at the Special Meeting so that the Proposal can be acted upon. Your immediate response on the enclosed proxy card will help prevent the need for any further solicitations for a shareholder vote. We encourage all shareholders to participate, including small investors. If other shareholders like you do not vote, the Funds may not receive enough votes to go forward with the Special Meeting. If this happens, the Proposal would be delayed, and we may need to solicit votes again, which increases costs.
|
Q.
|
How do I place my vote?
|
A.
|
You may vote your shares by any of the following methods: (1) call the telephone number provided on the enclosed proxy card; (2) log on to the Internet as directed on the proxy card and vote electronically; (3) if you are unable to vote by telephone or on the Internet, fill out your proxy card and return it to us; or (4) attend the Special Meeting on August 1, 2014 and vote in person. Please refer to your proxy card for further instructions on how to vote.

FundX Investment Group (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay the Upgrader Fund’s expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, interest expense in connection with investment activities, taxes and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reduction/Reimbursement for shares of the Upgrader Fund to 1.25% of the Fund’s average net assets (the “Expense Cap”). The Expense Cap will remain in effect at least until January 31, 2016. A reimbursement may be requested by the Advisor for fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three fiscal years if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account any reimbursement) does not exceed the Expense Cap. The Expense Cap may be terminated at any time after January 31, 2016, by the New Trust’s Board of Trustees upon 60-day notice to the Advisor, or by the Advisor with the consent of the Board. If the Fund has expenses that are excluded from the Expense Cap, the Fund’s expenses could be higher.

Additionally, U.S. Bank rebates a portion of fees from certain Underlying Funds for processing transactions.

FundX Investment Group (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay the Tactical Upgrader Fund’s expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, interest expense in connection with investment activities, taxes and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reduction/Reimbursement for shares of the Tactical Upgrader Fund to 1.25% of the Fund’s average net assets (the “Expense Cap”). The Expense Cap will remain in effect at least until January 31, 2016. A reimbursement may be requested by the Advisor for fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three fiscal years if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account any reimbursement) does not exceed the Expense Cap. The Expense Cap may be terminated at any time after January 31, 2016, by the New Trust’s Board of Trustees upon 60-day notice to the Advisor, or by the Advisor with the consent of the Board. If the Fund has expenses that are excluded from the Expense Cap, the Fund’s expenses could be higher.

Investment
Objective
|
The FundX Upgrader Fund (“Upgrader Fund”) seeks to maximize capital appreciation over the long term without regard to income.
|
Principal
Investment
Strategies
|
The Upgrader Fund is a fund-of-funds and as such invests primarily in no-load and load-waived mutual funds, including ETFs (“Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds, in turn, invest primarily in individual securities such as common stocks.
Because markets change, the Advisor actively manages the Fund’s portfolio using a proprietary investment strategy called Upgrading, which seeks to capture global market trends. The Advisor invests in the Underlying Funds that it considers to be in synch with current market leadership. The Advisor sells an Underlying Fund when it believes that the Underlying Fund is no longer performing in synch with current market leadership or if a new Underlying Fund is judged more attractive than a current holding.
Under normal market conditions, the Upgrader Fund will invest predominantly in Core Equity Underlying Funds, which generally invest in diversified portfolios of equity securities of well-established U.S. and foreign companies with a wide range of market capitalizations. Core Equity Underlying Funds may also invest in fixed income securities. Core Equity Underlying Funds allow the Fund to participate in broad market leadership trends, such as the rotation between growth and value stocks, large- and small-cap stocks, and international and domestic stocks. The Upgrader Fund may purchase, without limit, shares of Underlying Funds that invest in domestic, international and global securities.
To a lesser extent the Upgrader Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in Aggressive Equity Underlying Funds, which may invest in more concentrated portfolios or in small-cap, mid-cap or less-seasoned companies, or may make significant use of complex investment techniques, such as leverage, short sales and margin. Aggressive Equity Underlying Funds may be riskier than Core Equity Underlying Funds, but may hold the potential for higher reward. Aggressive Equity Funds allow the Fund to participate in more specialized stock market leadership trends, such as rotations between specific sectors or within emerging markets. The Upgrader Fund may hold up to 50% of its assets in Underlying Funds that focus on emerging markets.
For temporary defensive purposes under abnormal market or economic conditions, the Fund may hold all or a portion of its assets in money market instruments, money market funds or U.S. government repurchase agreements. To the extent the Fund is invested in such defensive investment, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

FundX Flexible Income Fund
|
|
Investment Objective
|
The FundX Flexible Income Fund (“Flexible Income Fund”) seeks to generate total return, which is capital appreciation plus current income.
|
Principal
Investment Strategies
|
The Flexible Income Fund is a fund-of-funds and as such invests primarily in no-load and load-waived mutual funds, including ETFs (“Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds, in turn, invest primarily in individual securities such as common stocks and corporate or government bonds.
Because markets change, the Advisor actively manages the Fund’s portfolio using a proprietary investment strategy called Upgrading, which seeks to capture global market trends. The Advisor invests in the Underlying Funds that it considers to be in synch with current market leadership. The Advisor sells an Underlying Fund when it believes that the Underlying Fund is no longer performing in synch with current market leadership or if a new Underlying Fund is judged more attractive than a current holding.
Under normal market conditions, the Flexible Income Fund will invest predominately in Bond Underlying Funds of varying maturity, credit quality (including high-yield securities, or “junk bonds”) and regional exposure. The Fund attempts to take advantage of bond market leadership trends by targeting those areas of the bond market that are excelling in the current market environment. The Fund aims to control downside risk by limiting exposure to more volatile areas of the bond market. The Flexible Income Fund may purchase, without limit, shares of Underlying Funds that invest in domestic and international corporate or government bonds. Additionally, the Flexible Income Fund may hold up to 50% of its assets in Underlying Funds that focus on emerging markets.
To a lesser extent the Flexible Income Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in Total Return Underlying Funds, which may employ a wide variety of investment strategies, including blending equity securities with fixed income instruments, and techniques designed to provide steady returns with dampened volatility, such as market neutral, long/short, arbitrage or other approaches. Because Total Return Underlying Funds are not fully invested in bonds, these funds typically have less credit and interest rate risk.
For temporary defensive purposes under abnormal market or economic conditions, the Fund may hold all or a portion of its assets in money market instruments, money market funds or U.S. government repurchase agreements. To the extent the Fund is invested in such defensive investment, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

FundX Conservative Upgrader Fund
|
|
Investment Objective
|
The FundX Conservative Upgrader Fund (“Conservative Fund”) seeks to obtain capital appreciation over the long term while at times providing a low level of current income to reduce portfolio volatility.
|
Principal
Investment Strategies
|
The Conservative Fund is a fund-of-funds and as such invests primarily in no-load and load-waived mutual funds, including ETFs (“Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds, in turn, invest primarily in individual securities such as common stocks and corporate or government bonds.
Because markets change, the Advisor actively manages the Fund’s portfolio using a proprietary investment strategy called Upgrading, which seeks to capture global market trends. The Advisor invests in the Underlying Funds that it considers to be in synch with current market leadership. The Advisor sells an Underlying Fund when it believes that the Underlying Fund is no longer performing in synch with current market leadership or if a new Underlying Fund is judged more attractive than a current holding.
Under normal market conditions, the Conservative Fund will invest predominantly in Core Equity Underlying Funds, which generally invest in diversified portfolios of equity securities of well-established U.S. and foreign companies with a wide range of market capitalizations. Core Equity Underlying Funds may also invest in fixed income securities. Core Equity Underlying Funds allow the Fund to participate in broad stock market leadership trends, such as the rotation between growth and value stocks, large- and small-cap stocks, and international and domestic stocks. The Conservative Fund may purchase, without limit, shares of Underlying Funds that invest in domestic, international and global securities. Additionally, the Conservative Fund may hold up to 50% of its assets in Underlying Funds that focus on emerging markets.
|
The Conservative Fund may also invest in Total Return and Bond Underlying Funds which are less aggressive and may involve investment in more balanced portfolio and fixed income securities. By investing in Bond Underlying Funds of varying maturity, credit quality (including high-yield securities, or “junk bonds”) and regional exposure, the Fund attempts to take advantage of bond market leadership trends by targeting those areas of the bond market that are excelling in the current market environment. The Conservative Fund aims to control downside risk by limiting exposure to more volatile areas of the bond market and/or hedging its bond market exposure. Bond Underlying Funds attempt to cushion stock market volatility. It is possible that the Fund will, at times, gain some low to modest level of capital appreciation from its investments in equity funds. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in Total Return Underlying Funds, which may employ a wide variety of investment strategies, including blending equity securities with fixed income instruments, and techniques designed to provide steady returns with dampened volatility, such as market neutral, long/short, arbitrage or other approaches. Because Total Return Underlying Funds are not fully invested in bonds, these funds typically have less credit and interest rate risk.
For temporary defensive purposes under abnormal market or economic conditions, the Fund may hold all or a portion of its assets in money market instruments, money market funds or U.S. government repurchase agreements.

|
|
Investment Objective
|
The FundX Tactical Upgrader Fund (“Tactical Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation with less volatility than the broad equity market; capital preservation is a secondary consideration.

Principal
Investment Strategies
|
The Tactical Fund is a fund-of-funds and as such invests in no-load and load waived mutual funds, but primarily in ETFs (“Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds, in turn, invest primarily in individual securities such as common stocks.
Because markets change, the Advisor actively manages the Fund’s equity portfolio using a proprietary investment strategy called Upgrading, which seeks to capture global market trends. The Advisor invests in the Underlying Funds that it considers to be in synch with current market leadership. The Advisor sells an Underlying Fund when it believes that the Underlying Fund is no longer performing in synch with current market leadership or if a new Underlying Fund is judged to be more attractive than a current holding.
Under normal market conditions, the Tactical Fund will have a substantial holding in Core Equity Underlying Funds, which generally invest in diversified portfolios of equity securities of well-established U.S. and foreign companies with a wide range of market capitalizations. Core Equity Underlying Funds holdings will typically be offset to some extent by hedges designed to reduce volatility. Core Equity Underlying Funds may also invest in fixed income securities. These positions allow the Tactical Fund to participate in broad stock market leadership trends, such as the rotation between growth and value stocks, large- and small-cap stocks, and international and domestic stocks. The Tactical Fund may purchase, without limit, shares of Underlying Funds that invest in domestic, international and global securities.
|
To a lesser extent the Tactical Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in Aggressive Equity Underlying Funds, which may invest in more concentrated portfolios or in small-cap, mid-cap or less-seasoned companies, or may make significant use of complex investment techniques, such as leverage, short sales and margin.

Aggressive Equity Underlying Funds allow the Fund to participate in more specialized stock market leadership trends, such as rotations between specific sectors or within emerging markets. The Tactical Fund may hold up to 50% of its assets in Underlying Funds that focus on emerging markets.
In an attempt to balance the risk inherent in equity-based mutual funds, the Tactical Fund will attempt to buffer its stock market exposure with a variety of hedging techniques, such as raising cash and using options. The level at which the portfolio is hedges will vary depending on the Advisor’s perception of the market’s level of risk at any given time.

Aggressive
Equity
Funds
|
Aggressive Equity Underlying Funds include equity funds invested in small- or mid-sized companies. These funds may focus on special investments, industries or market sectors. Many of these funds may lack diversification by focusing on a few industry sectors or concentrating their portfolios in a few individual holdings, in the hopes of achieving above-average returns. International funds may concentrate in a particular country or region, including emerging markets or economies not considered mature. These funds mostly hold common stocks, but may contain convertible bonds or other instruments. These funds may use investing techniques such as leveraging, margin, short positions or use of derivative instruments such as options or futures in ways that may likely to increase volatility.
|
Core Equity Funds
|
Core Equity Underlying Funds are generally comprised of diversified equity portfolios invested in well-established companies. Such portfolios may include some fixed-income instruments such as bonds, convertibles, preferred stock or cash and may have flexibility to move to large cash positions. International (foreign) or global (foreign and domestic) funds tend to invest in larger companies in mature economies (e.g., Europe & Japan).
|
Total Return (or Balanced) Funds
|
Total Return Underlying Funds may employ a wide variety of investment strategies, including blending equity securities with fixed income instruments, and techniques designed to provide steady returns with dampened volatility, such as market neutral long/short, arbitrage or other approaches. Because Total Return Underlying Funds are not fully invested in bonds, these funds typically have less credit and interest rate risk. Often these funds hold income-generating instruments, such as bonds, to lower portfolio volatility. Some of these funds may use derivative instruments such as futures, put options or short selling to a limited extent to lessen volatility.
|
Bond/Fixed-Income Funds
|
Bond Underlying Funds have a primary objective of current income and preservation of capital. These funds are divided into sub-categories of fixed-income securities based on credit quality, duration and maturity. It is not the Advisor’s intention to purchase funds to achieve a particular tax result.
|
FundX Upgrader Fund – Principal Risks
|
·
|
General Market Risk – General market risk is the risk that the value of a Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the securities held by the Underlying Funds it owns. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than its cost when originally purchased or less than it was worth at an earlier time.
|
·
|
Management Risk – Management risk describes the Upgrader Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective based on the Advisor’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Upgrader Fund.
|
·
|
Foreign Securities Risk – The Underlying Funds held by the Upgrader Fund may have significant investments in foreign securities. Foreign securities risk entails risk relating to political, social and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices.
|
·
|
Emerging Markets Risk – In addition to the foreign securities risks mentioned above, emerging markets are generally more volatile and less liquid.
|
·
|
Derivative Risk – Some Underlying Funds may use derivative instruments which derive their value from the value of an underlying asset, currency or index. The value of derivatives may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments and it is possible to lose more than the initial amount invested.
|
·
|
Leverage Risk – Some Underlying Funds may borrow money for leveraging and will incur interest expense.
|
·
|
Short Sales Risk – The Underlying Funds may engage in short sales which could cause an Underlying Fund’s investment performance to suffer if it is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended.
|
·
|
Small Company Risk – The Underlying Funds may invest in securities of small companies, which involves greater volatility than investing in larger and more established companies.
|
·
|
Sector Emphasis Risk – Some of the Underlying Funds may have particular emphasis in one or more sectors, subjecting that Underlying Fund to sector emphasis risk. Sector emphasis risk is the possibility that a certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole.
|
·
|
ETF Trading Risk – Because the Upgrader Fund invests in ETFs, it is subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which the ETFs trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares of an ETF.
|
·
|
Portfolio Turnover Risk – To the extent the Upgrader Fund invests in ETFs, it may be subject to the risks of having a high portfolio turnover rate. High portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater expenses to a Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities.
|
·
|
Upgrading Strategy Risk – The Upgrader Fund employs an Upgrading strategy whereby it continually seeks to invest in the top-performing securities at a given time. When investment decisions are based on near-term performance, however, the Upgrader Fund may be exposed to the risk of buying Underlying Funds immediately following a sudden, brief surge in performance that may be followed by a subsequent drop in market value.
|
·
|
Underlying Funds Risk – The risks associated with the Upgrader Fund include the risks related to each Underlying Fund in which the Upgrader Fund invests. Although the Upgrader Fund seeks to reduce the risk of your investment by diversifying among mutual funds and ETFs that invest in stocks and, in some cases, bonds, there are inherent risks of investing in various asset classes. The Fund must also pay its pro rata portion of an investment company’s fees and expenses.
|
FundX Flexible Income Fund – Principal Risks
|
·
|
General Market Risk – General market risk is the risk that the value of a Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the securities held by the Underlying Funds it owns. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than its cost when originally purchased or less than it was worth at an earlier time.
|
·
|
Management Risk – Management risk describes the Flexible Income Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective based on the Advisor’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Flexible Income Fund.
|
·
|
Foreign Securities Risk – The Underlying Funds held by the Flexible Income Fund may have significant investments in foreign securities. Foreign securities risk entails risk relating to political, social and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices.
|
·
|
Emerging Markets Risk – In addition to the foreign securities risks mentioned above, emerging markets are generally more volatile and less liquid.
|
·
|
Derivative Risk – Some Underlying Funds may use derivative instruments which derive their value from the value of an underlying asset, currency or index. The value of derivatives may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments and it is possible to lose more than the initial amount invested.
|
·
|
Leverage Risk – Some Underlying Funds may borrow money for leveraging and will incur interest expense.
|
·
|
Interest Rate and Credit Risk – Interest rates may rise resulting in a decrease in the value of the securities held by the Underlying Funds or may fall resulting in an increase in the value of such securities.
|
·
|
High-Yield Securities (Junk Bond) Risk – The value of fixed-income securities held by the Underlying Funds that are rated below investment grade are subject to additional risk factors such as increased possibility of default, illiquidity of the security and changes in value based on public perception of the issuer.
|
·
|
ETF Trading Risk – Because the Flexible Income Fund invests in ETFs, it is subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which the ETFs trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares of an ETF.

FundX Conservative Upgrader Fund – Principal Risks
|
·
|
General Market Risk – General market risk is the risk that the value of a Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the securities held by the Underlying Funds it owns. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than its cost when originally purchased or less than it was worth at an earlier time.
|
·
|
Management Risk – Management risk describes the Conservative Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective based on the Advisor’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Conservative Fund.
|
·
|
Foreign Securities Risk – The Underlying Funds held by the Conservative Fund may have significant investments in foreign securities. Foreign securities risk entails risk relating to political, social and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices.
|
·
|
Emerging Markets Risk – In addition to the foreign securities risks mentioned above, emerging markets are generally more volatile and less liquid.
|

Sector Emphasis Risk – Some of the Underlying Funds may have particular emphasis in one or more sectors, subjecting that Underlying Fund to sector emphasis risk. Sector emphasis risk is the possibility that a certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole.
|
·
|
Interest Rate and Credit Risk – Interest rates may rise resulting in a decrease in the value of the securities held by the Underlying Funds or may fall resulting in an increase in the value of such securities.
|
·
|
High-Yield Securities (Junk Bond) Risk – The value of fixed-income securities held by the Underlying Funds that are rated below investment grade are subject to additional risk factors such as increased possibility of default, illiquidity of the security and changes in value based on public perception of the issuer.
|
·
|
ETF Trading Risk – Because the Conservative Fund invests in ETFs, it is subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which the ETFs trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares of an ETF.
|
·
|
Portfolio Turnover Risk – To the extent the Conservative Fund invests in ETFs, it may be subject to the risks of having a high portfolio turnover rate. High portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater expenses to a Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities.
|
·
|
Upgrading Strategy Risk – The Conservative Fund employs an Upgrading strategy whereby it continually seeks to invest in the top-performing securities at a given time. When investment decisions are based on near-term performance, however, the Conservative Fund may be exposed to the risk of buying Underlying Funds immediately following a sudden, brief surge in performance that may be followed by a subsequent drop in market value.
|
·
|
Underlying Funds Risk – The risks associated with the Conservative Fund include the risks related to each Underlying Fund in which the Conservative Fund invests. Although the Conservative Fund seeks to reduce the risk of your investment by diversifying among mutual funds and ETFs that invest in stocks and, in some cases, bonds, there are inherent risks of investing in various asset classes. The Fund must also pay its pro rata portion of an investment company’s fees and expenses.

|
·
|
Options Risk – Selling call options can reduce the risk of owing equity funds or ETFs, but it limits the opportunity to profit from a rise in the stock market in exchange for the cash received for selling the call option. The Fund also risks losing all or part of the cash paid for purchasing put options. The effectiveness of the Fund’s options-based risk management strategy may be lessened if the Underlying Funds held do not correlate to the performance of the indexes or ETFs underlying its option positions.
