Northern Lights Fund Trust 485BPOS false 0001314414 2012-04-30 2012-12-31 2012-12-31 2012-12-31 Pacific Financial Alternative Strategies Fund Portfolio Turnover:  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance.   Principal Risks: As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund.  Although the Fund will seek to meet its investment objective, there is no assurance that it will do so. · Commodities Risk:  The value of commodities related investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, and tariffs.  The prices of industrial metals, precious metals, agriculture, and livestock commodities may fluctuate widely due to factors such as changes in value, supply and demand, and governmental regulatory policies. · Company Risk:  The value of an individual company can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform worse than the market as a whole.  The value of a company can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. · Currency Risk:  The Fund's net asset value could decline as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Additionally, certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise.   · Derivatives Risk:  Derivative instruments derive their value from the value of an underlying security, currency, or index.  Derivative instruments involve risks different from direct investments in the underlying assets, including: imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the derivative instrument; risks that the transactions may result in losses of all or in excess of any gain in the portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. · Emerging Markets Risk:  In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in foreign securities, countries with emerging markets also may have relatively unstable governments, social and legal systems that do not protect shareholders, economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of issues. · <strike></strike>ETF and Underlying Fund Risk .   Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund.  As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds.  Each Underlying Fund is subject to specific risks, depending on its investments. · Foreign Risk:  The Fund's performance may depend on issues other than the performance of a particular company or U.S. market sector.  The values of foreign investments may be affected by changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws (including withholding tax) changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy (in this country or abroad) or changed circumstances in dealings between nations.  The value of foreign securities is also affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. · Fixed Income Risk:   Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of the bond owned by the Fund.  Other risk factors include credit risk, maturity risk, market risk, extension risk, illiquid security risks, foreign securities risk, and prepayment risk.  In addition, bond ETFs and mutual funds, may invest in what are sometimes referred to as "junk bonds." Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks and are more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher quality debt securities. · Futures and Options Risk.  The use of options, futures contracts or options on futures contracts for risk management or hedging purposes may not be successful, resulting in losses to the Fund.  In addition, the cost of hedging may reduce the Fund’s returns, and the use of futures and options for investment purposes increases the Fund’s potential for loss. · Hedging Risk:  Although derivative instruments may be used to offset or hedge against losses on an opposite position, such hedges can also potentially offset any gains on the opposite position. The Fund may also be exposed to the risk it may be required to segregate assets or enter into offsetting positions in connection with investments in derivatives, but such segregation will not limit the Fund's exposure to loss.  The Fund may also incur risk with respect to the segregated assets to the extent that, but for the applicable segregation requirement in connection with its investments in derivatives, the Fund would sell the segregated assets. · Leverage Risk :   The use of leverage may exaggerate changes in a Fund’s share price and the return on its investments.  Accordingly, the value of the Fund’s investments may be more volatile and all other risks, including the risk of loss of an investment, tend to be compounded or magnified.  Any losses suffered by a leveraged Underlying Fund or the Fund as a result of the use of leverage could adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value and an investor could incur a loss in their investment in the Fund.  Borrowing also leads to additional interest expense and other fees that increase the Fund’s expenses. · Limited History of Operations Risk :  The Fund is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operations. · Managed Futures Risk:  Investing in managed futures exposes the Fund to management risk, derivatives risk, leverage risk, as well as commodity, interest rate, equity and foreign currency risks depending on the particular strategy used.  A manager's judgments about the price appreciation of various futures contracts may prove incorrect and result in losses. The Fund's use of derivatives (including futures and options on futures) to enhance returns or hedge against market declines is subject to the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index.  Investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact.  Commodity, interest rate, equity and foreign currency futures are subject to unfavorable price movements as well as specific risks described more fully in paragraphs above. · Management Risk:  The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the adviser's investment model and the adviser's assessment of the attractiveness and potential appreciation of particular investments.  There is no guarantee that the adviser's investment strategy will produce the desired results. · Market Risk:  The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes. Stock prices in general may decline over short or even extended periods of time, and tend to be more volatile than other investment choices. · Portfolio Turnover Risk:  Portfolio turnover results in higher brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs and may result in taxable capital gains. Higher costs associated with increased portfolio turnover may offset gains in the Fund's performance. · Real Estate Risk: Real estate related investments are subject to risks related to possible declines in the value of real estate; general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes, and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; costs resulting from the clean-up of, and liability to third parties for damages resulting from, environmental problems; casualty or condemnation losses; uninsured damages from floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters; limitations on and variations in rents; and changes in interest rates.  · Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Securities Risk:  The Fund may invest in securities of small-cap and mid-cap companies, which involves greater volatility than investing in larger and more established companies.  Small-cap and mid-cap companies can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share price changes than larger, more established companies.  Securities of these types of companies have limited market liquidity, and their prices may be more volatile.  You should expect that the value of the Fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in large-capitalization companies. As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Principal Investment Strategies: The Fund pursues its investment objective by implementing the strategies detailed below.  Individual securities are purchased and sold based on the adviser's proprietary "Rational Analysis" process, which is described below under the heading "Investment Process."  The term "exchange traded fund" is abbreviated as "ETF" throughout this prospectus.    The Fund may invest in other <strike/>investment compan ies, including ETFs (“Underlying Funds”).  ETFs in which the Fund invests <strike/>typically <strike/>seek <strike/>to track the performance of an index by holding in its portfolio either the contents of the index or a representative sample of the securities in the index.    The Alternative Strategies Fund primarily invests in a variety of securities, including Underlying Funds <strike></strike>that are used to implement multiple alternative investment strategies in the Fund.  The Fund may take both long and short positions in equity securities, including common and preferred stock of U.S. companies, convertible securities, <strike></strike>foreign securities , and Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) .  The Fund may invest in fixed income securities of any credit quality or maturity.    The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in U.S. <strike></strike>securities.   The Fund may also have up to 100% of its assets invested in foreign securities, including, but not limited to, American depositary receipts (“ADRs”) and securities of foreign companies <strike></strike>, including <strike></strike>emerging markets securities .   The Fund may invest in companies of any size (from small-cap to mid-cap to large-cap) and in any style (from growth to value) or from any geographic location, as well as currency-related securities or strategies.   <strike></strike>The Fund may also invest in <strike></strike>leveraged ETFs or other Underlying Funds, <strike></strike>covered calls <strike></strike>managed futures or illiquid securities, including up to 10% in hedge funds <strike></strike>.   <strike></strike>The Fund may invest up to 10% of the Fund’s net assets in derivative securities of any kind.   <strike></strike>   The Fund’s investments in derivative securities are expected to consist primarily of future contracts on financial and commodity markets .   <strike></strike>The Fund uses derivative investments and leveraged Underlying Funds <strike></strike>to obtain <strike></strike>leverage in order <strike></strike>to increase the potential return on an investment.   The use of leverage generates returns that are more pronounced, both positively and negatively, than what would be generated on invested capital without leverage, thus changing small market movements into larger changes in the value of the investments.   In selecting the Alternative Strategies Fund's positions, the adviser will use its proprietary investment research "Rational Analysis" processes, as described below.  The particular allocation of positions will change from time to time as market forces and the Fund’s aggressive strategy dictates.   <strike></strike>  The adviser ’s Rational Analysis uses Fundamental Analysis, Technical Analysis, and Quantitative Studies in selecting the positions.  Rather than using one of the above methods exclusively, the adviser integrates the optimal elements of each method into a "Rational" decision-making model.  The adviser may engage in frequent buying and selling of securities to achieve the Fund's investment objective. · Technical Analysis is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume.  Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can suggest future activity.  Such analysis enables the adviser to identify relational situations and opportunities that are key considerations in buying and, even more importantly, in selling positions. · Fundamental Analysis is a method of evaluating a security by attempting to measure its intrinsic value by examining related economic, financial and other qualitative and quantitative factors.  Fundamental analysts attempt to study everything that can affect the security's value, including macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy and industry conditions) and individually specific factors (like the financial condition and management of companies). The adviser uses information from various sources to evaluate the fundamental position of the market, sectors, mutual funds, and stocks.  Such analysis is essential in making decisions to buy particular positions, as it can reveal weaknesses or flaws in investment positions that might appear positive in technical analyses or quantitative studies. · Quantitative Studies:  The adviser uses mathematic analytics and modeling of portfolios.  Such studies are useful in removing the emotion from the decision-making process, in furthering understanding of portfolio trends, and in developing decisive information for buying and selling positions.  The mathematical and statistical calculations involved in such studies include analysis of Beta, standard deviation, Sharpe ratios, among others.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be: Pacific Financial Flexible Growth & Income Fund Portfolio Turnover:  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance.   Principal Risks: As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund.  Although the Fund will seek to meet its investment objective, there is no assurance that it will do so. · Commodities Risk:  The value of commodities related investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, and tariffs.  The prices of industrial metals, precious metals, agriculture, and livestock commodities may fluctuate widely due to factors such as changes in value, supply and demand, and governmental regulatory policies. · Company Risk:  The value of an individual company can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform worse than the market as a whole.  The value of a company can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. · Currency Risk:  The Fund's net asset value could decline as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Additionally, certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise.   · Derivatives Risk:  Derivative instruments derive their value from the value of an underlying security, currency, or index.  Derivative instruments involve risks different from direct investments in the underlying assets, including: imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the derivative instrument; risks that the transactions may result in losses of all or in excess of any gain in the portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. · Emerging Markets Risk:  In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in foreign securities, countries with emerging markets also may have relatively unstable governments, social and legal systems that do not protect shareholders, economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of issues. ·  ETF and Underlying Fund Risk .   Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund.  As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds.  Each Underlying Fund is subject to specific risks, depending on its investments. <strike></strike> · Fixed Income Risk:   Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of the bond owned by the Fund.  Other risk factors include credit risk, maturity risk, market risk, extension risk, illiquid security risks, foreign securities risk, and prepayment risk.  In addition, bond ETFs and mutual funds, may invest in what are sometimes referred to as "junk bonds." Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks and are more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher quality debt securities. · Futures and Options Risk.  The use of options, futures contracts or options on futures contracts for risk management or hedging purposes may not be successful, resulting in losses to the Fund.  In addition, the cost of hedging may reduce the Fund’s returns, and the use of futures and options for investment purposes increases the Fund’s potential for loss. · Foreign Risk:  The Fund's performance may depend on issues other than the performance of a particular company or U.S. market sector.  The values of foreign investments may be affected by changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws (including withholding tax) changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy (in this country or abroad) or changed circumstances in dealings between nations.  The value of foreign securities is also affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. · Hedging Risk:  Although derivative instruments may be used to offset or hedge against losses on an opposite position, such hedges can also potentially offset any gains on the opposite position. The Fund may also be exposed to the risk it may be required to segregate assets or enter into offsetting positions in connection with investments in derivatives, but such segregation will not limit the Fund's exposure to loss.  The Fund may also incur risk with respect to the segregated assets to the extent that, but for the applicable segregation requirement in connection with its investments in derivatives, the Fund would sell the segregated assets. · Leverage Risk:   The use of leverage may exaggerate changes in a Fund’s share price and the return on its investments.  Accordingly, the value of the Fund’s investments may be more volatile and all other risks, including the risk of loss of an investment, tend to be compounded or magnified.  Any losses suffered by leveraged Underlying Funds or <strike></strike>the Fund as a result of the use of leverage could adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value and an investor could incur a loss in their investment in the Fund.  Borrowing also leads to additional interest expense and other fees that increase the Fund’s expenses. •Limited History of Operations Risk <strike></strike>:  The Fund is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operations. · Managed Futures Risk:  Investing in managed futures exposes the Fund to management risk, derivatives risk, leverage risk, as well as commodity, interest rate, equity and foreign currency risks depending on the particular strategy used.  A manager's judgments about the price appreciation of various futures contracts may prove incorrect and result in losses. The Fund's use of derivatives (including futures and options on futures) to enhance returns or hedge against market declines is subject to the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index.  Investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact.  Commodity, interest rate, equity and foreign currency futures are subject to unfavorable price movements as well as specific risks described more fully in paragraphs above. · Management Risk:  The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the adviser's investment model and the adviser's assessment of the attractiveness and potential appreciation of particular investments.  There is no guarantee that the adviser's investment strategy will produce the desired results. · Market Risk:  The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes. Stock prices in general may decline over short or even extended periods of time, and tend to be more volatile than other investment choices. · Portfolio Turnover Risk:  Portfolio turnover results in higher brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs and may result in taxable capital gains. Higher costs associated with increased portfolio turnover may offset gains in the Fund's performance. · Real Estate Risk: Real estate related investments are subject to risks related to possible declines in the value of real estate; general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes, and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; costs resulting from the clean-up of, and liability to third parties for damages resulting from, environmental problems; casualty or condemnation losses; uninsured damages from floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters; limitations on and variations in rents; and changes in interest rates.  · Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Securities Risk:  The Fund may invest in securities of small-cap and mid-cap companies, which involves greater volatility than investing in larger and more established companies.  Small-cap and mid-cap companies can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share price changes than larger, more established companies.  Securities of these types of companies have limited market liquidity, and their prices may be more volatile.  You should expect that the value of the Fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in large-capitalization companies. As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Principal Investment Strategies: The Fund pursues its investment objective by implementing the strategies detailed below.  Individual securities are purchased and sold based on the adviser's proprietary "Rational Analysis" process, which is described below under the heading "Investment Process."  The term "exchange traded fund" is abbreviated as "ETF" throughout this prospectus.   The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including ETFs (“Underlying Funds”).  ETFs in which the Fund invests typically <strike/>seek <strike/>to track the performance of an index by holding in its portfolio either the contents of the index or a representative sample of the securities in the index.    The Flexible Growth & Income Fund invests in a balanced portfolio of equity and fixed income securities through a variety of alternative strategies that the adviser believes can achieve the Fund’s investment objective by generating above average portfolio income and growth.   Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in equity securities and at least 25% of its assets in fixed income securities.   This Fund is designed to have <strike></strike>an aggressive level of risk and may invest in <strike></strike>other open-end mutual funds, including ETFs, dividend producing closed-end mutual funds and listed securities (both equities and fixed income) of any capitalization-size or geographic location, as well as  mortgage backed securities, mortgage REITs and Mortgage Investment Corporations, option strategies, long/short positions, managed futures, hedge funds, commodity- and currency-related securities or strategies and illiquid securities, including <strike></strike>invest up to <strike></strike>10% of its net assets in hedge funds.  The Fund may also invest in leveraged Underlying Funds and up <strike></strike>to 10% of the Fund’s net assets in derivative securities of any kind.  The Fund’s investments in derivative securities are expected to consist primarily of future contracts on financial and commodity markets .   <strike></strike>The Fund uses derivative investments for leverage, to increase the potential return on an investment.   The use of leverage generates returns that are more pronounced, both positively and negatively, than what would be generated on invested capital without leverage, thus changing small market movements into larger changes in the value of the investments.  While the Fund typically seeks to invest in investment grade fixed income securities (rated “BBB-” or better by S&P), there is no minimum <strike></strike>credit quality or maturity and the Fund may invest in fixed income securities of any credit quality or maturity. In selecting the Flexible Growth & Income Fund’s positions, the adviser will use its proprietary investment research "Rational Analysis" processes, as described below.  The particular allocation of positions will change from time to time as market forces and the Fund’s aggressive strategy dictate.   <strike></strike>The adviser ’s Rational Analysis uses Fundamental Analysis, Technical Analysis, and Quantitative Studies in selecting the positions.  Rather than using one of the above methods exclusively, the adviser integrates the optimal elements of each method into a "Rational" decision-making model.  The adviser may engage in frequent buying and selling of securities to achieve the Fund's investment objective. · Technical Analysis is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume.  Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can suggest future activity.  Such analysis enables the adviser to identify relational situations and opportunities that are key considerations in buying and, even more importantly, in selling positions. · Fundamental Analysis is a method of evaluating a security by attempting to measure its intrinsic value by examining related economic, financial and other qualitative and quantitative factors.  Fundamental analysts attempt to study everything that can affect the security's value, including macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy and industry conditions) and individually specific factors (like the financial condition and management of companies). The adviser uses information from various sources to evaluate the fundamental position of the market, sectors, mutual funds, and stocks.  Such analysis is essential in making decisions to buy particular positions, as it can reveal weaknesses or flaws in investment positions that might appear positive in technical analyses or quantitative studies. · Quantitative Studies:  The adviser uses mathematic analytics and modeling of portfolios.  Such studies are useful in removing the emotion from the decision-making process, in furthering understanding of portfolio trends, and in developing decisive information for buying and selling positions.  The mathematical and statistical calculations involved in such studies include analysis of Beta, standard deviation, Sharpe ratios, among others.

Higher costs associated with increased portfolio turnover may offset gains in the Fund's performance. · Real Estate Risk:   Real estate related investments are subject to risks related to possible declines in the value of real estate; general and local economic conditions; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes, and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; costs resulting from the clean-up of, and liability to third parties for damages resulting from, environmental problems; casualty or condemnation losses; uninsured damages from floods, earthquakes, or other natural disasters; limitations on and variations in rents; and changes in interest rates. · Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Securities Risk:  The Fund may invest in securities of small-cap and mid-cap companies, which involves greater volatility than investing in larger and more established companies.  Small-cap and mid-cap companies can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share price changes than larger, more established companies.  Securities of these types of companies have limited market liquidity, and their prices may be more volatile.  You should expect that the value of the Fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in large-capitalization companies. As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Principal Investment Strategies: The Fund pursues its investment objective by implementing the strategies detailed below.  Individual securities are purchased and sold based on the adviser's proprietary "Rational Analysis" process, which is described below under the heading "Investment Process."  The term "exchange traded fund" is abbreviated as "ETF" throughout this prospectus.   The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including ETFs (“Underlying Funds”).  ETFs in which the Fund invests typically <strike/>seek <strike/>to track the performance of an index by holding in its portfolio either the contents of the index or a representative sample of the securities in the index. The Foundational Asset Allocation Fund invests U.S. and International fixed income and equity securities, as determined by the sector allocation portfolio the adviser has designed to produce long-term capital appreciation.   The Fund may invest up to 40% of its net assets in foreign securities, including ADRs or securities issued by foreign companies, including emerging market securities.   The adviser seeks diversity across those sectors <strike></strike>it believes a re positioned to provide consistent returns over the long term.  Under normal circumstances the Fund expects to invest in 6 to 12 sectors at any time, with investments in 20 to 75 positions.  The Fund’s  asset allocation is expected to be developed annually, but reviewed at least quarterly for style consistency and performance.  The Fund may invest in equity securities of any kind <strike></strike>and any capitalization, sector or geographic location , including REITs and commodity-related securities or strategies, directly or through Underlying Funds <strike></strike>, including ETFs.   While the Fund typically seeks to invest in investment grade fixed income securities (rated “BBB-” or better by S&P), there is no minimum credit quality or maturity and the Fund may invest in fixed income securities of any credit quality or maturity directly or through Underlying Funds. <strike></strike> The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its net assets in derivative securities of any kind.   The Fund may also invest in leveraged ETFs or other Underlying Funds.    The Fund’s investments in derivative securities are expected to consist primarily of options, futures contracts or options on futures contracts.  The Fund uses derivative investments for leverage, to increase the potential return on an investment .   <strike></strike>The use of leverage generates returns that are more pronounced, both positively and negatively, than what would be generated on invested capital without leverage, thus changing small market movements into larger changes in the value of the investments. In selecting the Foundational Asset Allocation's positions, the adviser will use its proprietary investment research "Rational Analysis" processes, as described below.  The particular allocation of positions will change from time to time as market forces and the Fund’s moderate strategy dictate.   <strike></strike>  <strike></strike>The adviser’s <strike></strike>“Rational Analysis” uses Fundamental Analysis, Technical Analysis, and Quantitative Studies in selecting the positions.  Rather than using one of the above methods exclusively, the adviser integrates the optimal elements of each method into a "Rational" decision-making model.  The adviser may engage in frequent buying and selling of securities to achieve the Fund's investment objective. · Technical Analysis is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume.  Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can suggest future activity.  Such analysis enables the adviser to identify relational situations and opportunities that are key considerations in buying and, even more importantly, in selling positions. · Fundamental Analysis is a method of evaluating a security by attempting to measure its intrinsic value by examining related economic, financial and other qualitative and quantitative factors.  Fundamental analysts attempt to study everything that can affect the security's value, including macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy and industry conditions) and individually specific factors (like the financial condition and management of companies). The adviser uses information from various sources to evaluate the fundamental position of the market, sectors, mutual funds, and stocks.  Such analysis is essential in making decisions to buy particular positions, as it can reveal weaknesses or flaws in investment positions that might appear positive in technical analyses or quantitative studies. · Quantitative Studies:  The adviser uses mathematic analytics and modeling of portfolios.  Such studies are useful in removing the emotion from the decision-making process, in furthering understanding of portfolio trends, and in developing decisive information for buying and selling positions.  The mathematical and statistical calculations involved in such studies include analysis of Beta, standard deviation, Sharpe ratios, among others.

The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be: Pacific Financial Faith & Values Based Conservative Fund Portfolio Turnover:  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance.   Principal Risks: As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund.  Although the Fund will seek to meet its investment objective, there is no assurance that it will do so. · Company Risk:  The value of an individual company can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform worse than the market as a whole.  The value of a company can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. · Derivatives Risk:  Derivative instruments derive their value from the value of an underlying security, currency, or index.  Derivative instruments involve risks different from direct investments in the underlying assets, including: imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the derivative instrument; risks that the transactions may result in losses of all or in excess of any gain in the portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. ·   <strike></strike>ETF and Underlying Fund Risk .   Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund.  As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds.  Each Underlying Fund is subject to specific risks, depending on its investments. <strike></strike> · Ethical Investing Risk.  The Fund’s social and moral governance criteria limit the available investments compared to funds with no such criteria.  Under certain economic conditions, this could cause the Fund’s investment performance to be worse or better than similar funds with no such criteria. · Fixed Income Risk:   Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of the bond owned by the Fund.  Other risk factors include credit risk, maturity risk, market risk, extension risk, illiquid security risks, foreign securities risk, and prepayment risk.  In addition, bond ETFs and mutual funds, may invest in what are sometimes referred to as "junk bonds." Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks and are more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher quality debt securities. · Futures and Options Risk.  The use of options, futures contracts or options on futures contracts for risk management or hedging purposes may not be successful, resulting in losses to the Fund.  In addition, the cost of hedging may reduce the Fund’s returns, and the use of futures and options for investment purposes increases the Fund’s potential for loss. · Hedging Risk:  Although derivative instruments may be used to offset or hedge against losses on an opposite position, such hedges can also potentially offset any gains on the opposite position. The Fund may also be exposed to the risk it may be required to segregate assets or enter into offsetting positions in connection with investments in derivatives, but such segregation will not limit the Fund's exposure to loss.  The Fund may also incur risk with respect to the segregated assets to the extent that, but for the applicable segregation requirement in connection with its investments in derivatives, the Fund would sell the segregated assets. · Leverage Risk :   The use of leverage may exaggerate changes in a Fund’s share price and the return on its investments.  Accordingly, the value of the Fund’s investments may be more volatile and all other risks, including the risk of loss of an investment, tend to be compounded or magnified.  Any losses suffered by a leveraged Underlying Fund or the <strike></strike>Fund as a result of the use of leverage could adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value and an investor could incur a loss in their investment in the Fund.  Borrowing also leads to additional interest expense and other fees that increase the Fund’s expenses. •Limited History of Operations Risk :  The Fund is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operations. · Management Risk:  The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the adviser's investment model and the adviser's assessment of the attractiveness and potential appreciation of particular investments.  There is no guarantee that the adviser's investment strategy will produce the desired results. · Market Risk:  The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes.

Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks and are more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher quality debt securities. · Foreign Risk :  The Fund's performance may depend on issues other than the performance of a particular company or U.S. market sector.  The values of foreign investments may be affected by changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws (including withholding tax) changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy (in this country or abroad) or changed circumstances in dealings between nations.  The value of foreign securities is also affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. · Futures and Options Risk .  The use of options, futures contracts or options on futures contracts for risk management or hedging purposes may not be successful, resulting in losses to the Fund.  In addition, the cost of hedging may reduce the Fund’s returns, and the use of futures and options for investment purposes increases the Fund’s potential for loss. · Hedging Risk :  Although derivative instruments may be used to offset or hedge against losses on an opposite position, such hedges can also potentially offset any gains on the opposite position.

Principal Investment Strategies: The Fund pursues its investment objective by implementing the strategies detailed below.  Individual securities are purchased and sold based on the adviser's proprietary "Rational Analysis" process, which is described below under the heading "Investment Process."  The term "exchange traded fund" is abbreviated as "ETF" throughout this prospectus.  The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including ETFs (“Underlying Funds”).  ETFs in which the Fund invests typically <strike/>seek <strike/>to track the performance of an index by holding in its portfolio either the contents of the index or a representative sample of the securities in the index.    The Faith Based Moderate Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a  balanced portfolio of fixed income and equity securities.  Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in equity securities and at least 25% of its assets in fixed income securities.  The Fund will invest the fixed income portion of the portfolio directly or in other Underlying Funds (including ETFs) that invest primarily in fixed income and income producing securities such as government bonds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and dividend-paying equity securities.  While the Fund typically seeks to invest in investment grade fixed income securities (rated “BBB-” or better by S&P), there is no minimum credit quality or maturity and the Fund may invest in fixed income securities of any credit quality or maturity. <strike></strike> The Fund will also invest in equity securities directly or through other investment companies (including ETFs) that invest primarily in common stock of U.S. or foreign companies of any capitalization, or geographic location.  The Fund may also invest in REITs.  In selecting securities for the Fund, the adviser will apply an ethical screening, and exclude from the Fund any company that derives more than 20% of its revenues from abortion, pornography, liquor or tobacco, or is otherwise determined <strike></strike>to be involved in promoting abortion, pornography, liquor or tobacco.  Ethical screening is provided by a third party research firm which will be utilized to apply the Fund’s ethical screens and provide the adviser a list of securities that do not satisfy the ethical screening criteria and therefore are not eligible for investment.  The Fund may invest in leveraged Underlying Funds and up to 10% of the Fund’s net assets in derivative securities of any kind.  The Fund’s investments in leveraged funds and derivative securities are expected to consist primarily of options, future contracts, or options on futures contracts.  The Fund uses leveraged Underlying Funds and derivative investments for leverage, to increase the potential return on an investment.   The use of leverage generates returns that are more pronounced, both positively and negatively, than what would be generated on invested capital without leverage, thus changing small market movements into larger changes in the value of the investments. <strike></strike>  In selecting the Faith & Values Based Moderate Fund’s positions, the adviser will use its proprietary investment research "Rational Analysis" processes, as described below, but excludes the securities of any companies that are not eligible for investment under the <strike></strike>ethical screening criteria described above.  The particular allocation of positions will change from time to time as market forces dictate. <strike></strike>  <strike></strike>The adviser’s “Rational Analysis” <strike></strike>uses Fundamental Analysis, Technical Analysis, and Quantitative Studies in selecting the positions.  Rather than using one of the above methods exclusively, the adviser integrates the optimal elements of each method into a "Rational" decision-making model.  The adviser may engage in frequent buying and selling of securities to achieve the Fund's investment objective. · Technical Analysis is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume.  Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can suggest future activity.  Such analysis enables the adviser to identify relational situations and opportunities that are key considerations in buying and, even more importantly, in selling positions. · Fundamental Analysis is a method of evaluating a security by attempting to measure its intrinsic value by examining related economic, financial and other qualitative and quantitative factors.  Fundamental analysts attempt to study everything that can affect the security's value, including macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy and industry conditions) and individually specific factors (like the financial condition and management of companies). The adviser uses information from various sources to evaluate the fundamental position of the market, sectors, mutual funds, and stocks.  Such analysis is essential in making decisions to buy particular positions, as it can reveal weaknesses or flaws in investment positions that might appear positive in technical analyses or quantitative studies. · Quantitative Studies :  The adviser uses mathematic analytics and modeling of portfolios.  Such studies are useful in removing the emotion from the decision-making process, in furthering understanding of portfolio trends, and in developing decisive information for buying and selling positions.  The mathematical and statistical calculations involved in such studies include analysis of Beta, standard deviation, Sharpe ratios, among others.

The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be: Pacific Financial Faith & Values Based Aggressive Fund Portfolio Turnover:  The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance.   Principal Risks: As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund.  Although the Fund will seek to meet its investment objective, there is no assurance that it will do so. · Company Risk:  The value of an individual company can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform worse than the market as a whole.  The value of a company can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. · Derivatives Risk:  Derivative instruments derive their value from the value of an underlying security, currency, or index.  Derivative instruments involve risks different from direct investments in the underlying assets, including: imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the derivative instrument; risks that the transactions may result in losses of all or in excess of any gain in the portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. · Emerging Markets Risk :  In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in foreign securities, countries with emerging markets also may have relatively unstable governments, social and legal systems that do not protect shareholders, economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of issues. ·   <strike></strike>ETF and Underlying Fund Risk .   Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund.  As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds.  Each Underlying Fund is subject to specific risks, depending on its investments. <strike></strike> · Ethical Investing Risk.  The Fund’s social and moral governance criteria limit the available investments compared to funds with no such criteria.  Under certain economic conditions, this could cause the Fund’s investment performance to be worse or better than similar funds with no such criteria. · Foreign Risk:  The Fund's performance may depend on issues other than the performance of a particular company or U.S. market sector.  The values of foreign investments may be affected by changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws (including withholding tax) changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy (in this country or abroad) or changed circumstances in dealings between nations.  The value of foreign securities is also affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. · Futures and Options Risk.  The use of options, futures contracts or options on futures contracts for risk management or hedging purposes may not be successful, resulting in losses to the Fund.  In addition, the cost of hedging may reduce the Fund’s returns, and the use of futures and options for investment purposes increases the Fund’s potential for loss. · Hedging Risk:  Although derivative instruments may be used to offset or hedge against losses on an opposite position, such hedges can also potentially offset any gains on the opposite position. The Fund may also be exposed to the risk it may be required to segregate assets or enter into offsetting positions in connection with investments in derivatives, but such segregation will not limit the Fund's exposure to loss.  The Fund may also incur risk with respect to the segregated assets to the extent that, but for the applicable segregation requirement in connection with its investments in derivatives, the Fund would sell the segregated assets. · Leverage Risk :   The use of leverage may exaggerate changes in a Fund’s share price and the return on its investments.  Accordingly, the value of the Fund’s investments may be more volatile and all other risks, including the risk of loss of an investment, tend to be compounded or magnified.  Any losses suffered by a leveraged Underlying Fund or the Fund as a result of the use of leverage could adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value and an investor could incur a loss in their investment in the Fund.  Borrowing also leads to additional interest expense and other fees that increase the Fund’s expenses. •Limited History of Operations Risk :  The Fund is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operations. · Management Risk:  The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the adviser's investment model and the adviser's assessment of the attractiveness and potential appreciation of particular investments.  There is no guarantee that the adviser's investment strategy will produce the desired results. · Market Risk:  The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes. Stock prices in general may decline over short or even extended periods of time, and tend to be more volatile than other investment choices. · Portfolio Turnover Risk:  Portfolio turnover results in higher brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs and may result in taxable capital gains. Higher costs associated with increased portfolio turnover may offset gains in the Fund's performance. · Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Securities Risk:  The Fund may invest in securities of small-cap and mid-cap companies, which involves greater volatility than investing in larger and more established companies.  Small-cap and mid-cap companies can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share price changes than larger, more established companies.  Securities of these types of companies have limited market liquidity, and their prices may be more volatile.  You should expect that the value of the Fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in large-capitalization companies. As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund.

The Faith & Values Based Aggressive Fund invests primarily in equity securities.  These equity securities will consist primarily of securities issued by U.S. entities or other investment companies (including ETFs) that invest primarily in U.S. common stock.  However, the Fund may also invest up to 40% of its net assets in foreign securities or Underlying Funds that invest in foreign securities, of any capitalization or geographic location (including emerging markets) .   <strike></strike>In selecting securities for the Fund, the adviser will apply an ethical screening, and exclude from the Fund any company that derives more than 20% of its revenues from abortion, pornography, liquor or tobacco, or is otherwise determined <strike></strike>to be involved in promoting abortion, pornography, liquor or tobacco .  The Fund’s ethical screening is provided by a third party research firm which will be utilized to apply the Fund’s ethical screens and provide the adviser a list of securities that do not satisfy the ethical screening criteria and therefore are not eligible for investment .   The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities of any credit quality or maturity directly or through <strike></strike>Underlying Funds <strike></strike>(including ETFs).  It may invest in leveraged Underlying Funds and up to 10% of its net assets in derivative securities of any kind.  The Fund’s investments in leveraged funds and derivative securities are expected to consist primarily of options, futures contracts, or options on futures contracts.  The Fund uses derivative investments for leverage, to increase the potential return on an investment.   The use of leverage generates returns that are more pronounced, both positively and negatively, than what would be generated on invested capital without leverage, thus changing small market movements into larger changes in the value of the investments.
