Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund
(the "Fund")


Supplement dated May 29, 2014
to the Class A Shares Prospectus (the "Prospectus") dated January 31, 2014


This Supplement provides new and additional information beyond that contained in the Prospectus and should be read in conjunction with such Prospectus.

Change in Portfolio Management


Under the heading "Principal Investment Strategies" in the Fund Summary for the Fund, the third paragraph is hereby deleted and replaced with the following text:
