Market risk is the possibility that, over short or long periods, security prices will decline. Because security prices tend to fluctuate, the value of your investment in the Fund may increase or decrease. The Fund's investment success depends on the skill of the Advisor in evaluating, selecting and monitoring the portfolio assets. If the Advisor's conclusions about growth rates or securities values are incorrect, the Fund may not perform as anticipated.</font></font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'><b><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Equity Risk —</font></b><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund’s equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests in small and mid-capitalization companies, the Fund will be subject to additional risks. The earnings and prospectus of smaller companies are more volatile than larger companies, and smaller companies may experience higher failure rates than do larger companies. The trading volume of securities of smaller companies is normally less than that of larger companies and, therefore, may disproportionately affect their market price, tending to make prices fall more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger companies. Smaller companies may also have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and may lack management experience. </font></font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'><b><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>ETF Risk —</font></b><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Since the Fund invests in ETFs, the Fund will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities comprising the index on which the ETF is based and the value of the Fund’s investment will fluctuate in response to the performance of the underlying index. ETFs typically incur fees that are separate from those of the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund’s investments in ETFs will result in the layering of expenses such that shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the ETFs’ operating expenses, in addition to paying Fund expenses. To the extent the Fund invests in enhanced ETFs, the Fund will indirectly be subject to the risk of the ETF’s ability to identify and apply a formula for securities selection. </font></font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'><strong>Inverse Correlation Risk —</strong><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> </font></font><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>To the extent the Fund invests in ETFs, including Inverse ETFs that seek to provide investment results that match a negative multiple of the performance of an underlying index, the Fund will indirectly be subject to the risk that the performance of such ETF will fall as the performance of that ETFs benchmark rises – a result that is the opposite from traditional mutual funds. During periods of higher index volatility, longer-term results for such ETFs may be more or less than twice the inverse of the return of the underlying index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Additionally, because these types of ETFs typically seek to obtain their objective on a daily basis, holding inverse ETFs for longer than a day may produce unexpected results particularly when the benchmark index experiences large ups and downs. </font></font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'><b><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Foreign Securities Risk — </font></b><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Investing in foreign investments carries potential risks not associated with domestic investments, which may include currency exchange rate fluctuations; political and financial instability; less liquidity and greater volatility; lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; less government regulation and supervision; increased price volatility; and delays in transaction settlement in some foreign markets. Investing in securities of companies located or operating in emerging markets generally also is riskier than investing in companies located or operating in developed countries. Emerging market countries may have unstable governments and/or economies that are subject to sudden change. These changes may be magnified by the countries emergent financial markets, resulting in significant volatility to investments in these countries. These countries may also lack the legal, business and social framework to support securities markets. </font></font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p> <p style='text-align:justify;line-height:12pt;margin:4.15pt 0in'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'><b><font style='font-size:11pt'>Short Sales Strategy Risk — </font></b><font style='font-size:11pt'>While the Fund does not directly engage in short selling, ETFs in which the Fund invests may engage in short selling. Short sales are transactions in which a fund sells a security it does not own. An underlying ETF must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The underlying ETF is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be higher or lower than the price at which the security was sold by the underlying ETF. If the underlying security goes down in price between the time the underlying ETF sells the security and buys it back, the ETF will realize a gain on the transaction. Conversely, if the underlying security goes up in price during the period, the underlying ETF will realize a loss on the transaction. Because the market price of the security sold short could increase without limit, an underlying ETF could be subject to a theoretically unlimited loss on these securities. The risk of such price increases is the principal risk of engaging in short sales.</font></font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>In addition, the Fund’s investment performance may suffer if an underlying ETF is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. This would occur if the securities lender required the underlying ETF to deliver the securities the underlying ETF borrowed at the commencement of the short sale and the underlying ETF was unable to borrow the securities from another securities lender or otherwise obtain the security by other means. Moreover, the Fund may be directly or indirectly subject to expenses related to short sales that are not typically associated with investing in securities directly, such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the underlying ETF’s open short positions. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund and underlying ETF. For example, when the underlying ETF short sells an equity security that pays a dividend, it is obligated to pay the dividend on the security it has sold. However, a dividend paid on a security sold short generally reduces the market value of the shorted security and thus, increases the underlying ETF’s unrealized gain or reduces the underlying ETF’s unrealized loss on its short sale transaction. To the extent that the dividend that the underlying ETF is obligated to pay is greater than the return earned by the underlying ETF on investments, the performance of the underlying ETF (and that of the Fund) will be negatively impacted. Furthermore, the underlying ETF may be required to pay a premium or interest to the lender of the security. The foregoing types of short sale expenses are sometimes referred to as the “negative cost of carry,” and will tend to cause the underlying ETF to lose money on a short sale even in instances where the price of the underlying security sold short does not change over the duration of the short sale. The underlying ETF is also required to segregate other assets on its books to cover its obligation to return the security to the lender which means that those other assets may not be available to meet its needs for immediate cash or other liquidity.</font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'><b><font style='font-size:11pt'>Derivatives Risk </font></b><b><font style='font-size:11pt'>—</font></b><i><font style='font-size:11pt'> </font></i><font style='font-size:11pt'>The Fund’s or an underlying ETF’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments, and could increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value per share and cause you to lose money. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the fund's performance. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value, and there is the risk that changes in the value of a derivative held by the Fund will not correlate with the underlying instruments or the Fund's other investments. Derivative instruments also involve the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the derivative instruments to make required payments or otherwise comply with the derivative instruments' terms. Certain types of derivatives involve greater risks than the underlying obligations because, in addition to general market risks, they are subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk, credit risk and pricing risk. Additionally, some derivatives involve economic leverage, which could increase the volatility of these investments as they may fluctuate in value more than the underlying instrument. The Fund may be required to segregate liquid assets in connection with the purchase of derivative instruments.</font></font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>An underlying ETF may invest in derivative instruments such as equity index swaps, futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. The use of swap agreements entails certain risks, which may be different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying asset for the swap agreement. Because a swap is an obligation of a counterparty rather than a direct investment in a security, an ETF may suffer losses potentially equal to, or greater than, the full value of the swap if the counterparty fails to perform its obligations under the swap as a result of bankruptcy or otherwise. Futures are contracts on commodities, currencies and stock market indices that attempt to predict the value of these securities at some date in the future. The futures markets are highly unpredictable and an ETF could lose its entire investment and, in certain cases, more than it invested. Additionally, an ETF may have trouble liquidating its investment in a futures contract, thus limited its access to cash. Options give the buyer (in this case, the ETF) the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell an underlying asset (such as a security, futures contract or stock index) at a specific price on or before a certain date. Options are subject to special risks and may not fully protect an ETF against declines in the value of its stocks. </font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'><b><font style='font-size:11pt'>Leverage Risk</font></b><font style='font-size:11pt'> <b>—</b> The use of leverage and the use of derivatives by the ETFs in which the Fund may invest, may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses.

Rapid portfolio turnover also exposes shareholders to a higher current realization of short-term capital gains taxed at ordinary income rates.</font></font></p>

<!--egx--><p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>To achieve its investment objective, the Fund applies proprietary methodologies to take advantage of potential short-term, intermediate term and long-term moves that seem to play out in various markets – the Fund’s investment advisor, Sherwood Forest Capital Management (the “Advisor”) refers to this management approach as Trend Following. In implementing this Trend Following, the Fund will invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs) which represent various major indices. These indices include: U.S. and overseas equity markets; U.S. fixed income markets; broad commodity indices; and, various currency indices.</font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The goal of the Fund is to capture profits from rising and declining periods of the equities markets and to a lesser degree, commodities, currency and fixed income markets. The Advisor’s top-down strategies and methodologies are designed to profit from market trends in both directions in broad asset classes, with little regard for fundamental research and/or analysis of individual equity or debt securities. The Advisor seeks investment opportunities for the Fund in ETFs as potential trends are identified. An ETF is an open-end investment company that holds a portfolio of investments designed to track a particular market segment or underlying index. The Fund may invest in ETFs designed to provide investment results that match the performance of an underlying index. The Fund may also invest in ETFs designed to provide investment results that match a positive or negative multiple of the performance of an underlying index, or that are designed to track a particular index but which apply a formula to reduce the number of securities held by the ETF according to the view of the advisor to the ETF as to which securities have the greatest potential for growth (generally, these are referred to as “Enhanced ETFs”). Where the Fund seeks to invest in ETFs that are designed to provide investment results that provide the opposite result as the underlying index, the ETF is described as an Inverse ETF. In seeking to provide such results, an ETF, in particular, an Enhanced Inverse ETF, may engage in short sales of securities included in the underlying index and may invest in derivatives instruments, such as equity index swaps, futures contracts, and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. The Fund may also invest in ETFs that invest in Treasury bond securities which range in their effective duration of 10-20 years and weighted average maturity that will range between 20-30 years. The Fund may also invest in ETFs which aim to provide “Inverse” exposure to long equivalent securities of the same Treasury Bond index securities. The expenses associated with investing in ETFs are typically lower than the expenses associated with investing in all of the underlying securities which comprise the indices that the ETFs track. The Fund’s assets may be allocated among the different types of ETFs at the Advisor’s discretion.</font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>When the Advisor identifies potential rising trends in the market, ETFs which hold traditional equity holdings are purchased. When the Advisor identifies potential falling trends in the market, Inverse ETFs which move in an inverse relationship to the market are purchased. The Advisor seeks to invest in short term trends, intermediate term trends, and long term trends, where such trend are quantified in length based on the following; 1-4 weeks for a short term trend, 3-6 months for intermediate term trends, and 6-24 months for long term trends. The Advisor’s strategy for the Fund is not biased towards ETFs which represent long investments or short investments - each opportunity is independently evaluated. The Advisor invests primarily in ETFs based on equity indices, but allocations in other asset classes are made as well. The Advisor also purchases ETFs that cover the following asset classes: commodities, currencies and fixed income. The Advisor also actively employs the use of cash and cash equivalents and, in particular, shares of money market funds. As a result the broad diversification and the advisor’s ability to invest both long (utilizing ETFs) or short (utilizing inverse and/or enhanced ETFs) across these asset classes, the strategy may offer low volatility compared to traditional investment strategies. Furthermore, the Advisor’s methodology is designed to provide returns that are un-correlated with the broad investment market over a long-term time frame. The Advisor may utilize inverse and/or enhanced ETFs without limitation other than those imposed by applicable law.</font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:12pt 0in 0pt'><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Under normal market conditions, the Fund may allocate up to 100% of its assets among ETFs representing various regions and countries, including the United States. The Fund may invest up to 75% in ETFs that have underlying securities that are domestic and international equities, and up to 25% in ETFs that invest in commodity indices or instruments. The Fund will generally limit investment in ETFs that are based on international equity holdings to 50% net long. Generally, the Fund will limit the allocation to ETFs that provide inverse exposure to 50%, net. The Fund generally limits investment in currency-based ETFs and fixed-income based ETFs to 5% each. As conditions warrant, the Fund may deviate from this strategy. The Fund may invest directly in the securities which comprise the ETFs discussed above, such as individual equities and U.S. Government obligations. In addition to ETFs, the Fund’s investments in U.S. fixed income markets may include other investment companies such as money market funds. Other than the foregoing limitations and other limitations imposed by law, the Fund may invest without limitation in EFs, including Enhanced ETFs and Inverse ETFs (and combinations thereof). </font></p> <p style='text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 0pt'> </p><font style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The Fund will engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities. </font>
