falsefalse18false0rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlockrrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1falsefalsefalse00<p>The Fund invests, under normal conditions, in derivatives and other financially-linked instruments whose performance is expected to correspond to U.S. and international fixed income, equity and commodity markets. The Fund may invest in derivatives and other financially-linked instruments such as futures, swap agreements, including total return swaps, and may also invest in U.S. and foreign government debt securities and other securities such as exchange-traded funds and commodity linked notes. The Fund’s international investments will generally be in developed countries, but may also include emerging market countries. The Fund’s fixed income investments are generally considered to be investment grade while the Fund’s commodity markets exposure will generally be in the precious metals, agriculture, energy and industrial metals sectors. The Fund will also invest in the Subsidiary and exchange traded funds (ETFs) to gain exposure to commodity markets. The Subsidiary, in turn, will invest in futures, exchange traded notes (ETNs) and other securities and financially-linked instruments. ETNs are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities whose returns are linked to the performance of a particular market benchmark or strategy, minus applicable fees. ETNs are traded on an exchange (e.g., the New York Stock Exchange) during normal trading hours; however, investors can also hold an ETN until maturity. The Fund will generally maintain 60% of its assets in cash and cash equivalent instruments including affiliated money market funds. Some of the cash holdings will serve as margin or collateral for the Fund’s obligations under derivative transactions. The Fund’s investments in certain derivatives may create significant leveraged exposure to certain equity, fixed income and commodity markets. Leverage occurs when the investments in derivatives create greater economic exposure than the amount invested. This means that the Fund could lose more than originally invested in the derivative.</p> <p>The Subsidiary is advised by the Adviser and has the same investment objective as the Fund and generally employs the same investment strategy but limits its investments to commodity derivatives, ETNs, cash and cash equivalent instruments, including affiliated money market funds. The Subsidiary, unlike the Fund, may invest without limitation in commodities, commodity-linked derivatives and other securities, such as ETNs, that may provide leverage and non-leveraged exposure to commodity markets. The Subsidiary also may hold cash and invest in cash equivalent instruments, including affiliated money market funds, some of which may serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary’s derivative positions. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Fund will be subject to the risks associated with any investment by the Subsidiary to the extent of the Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary.</p>
<p>The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund can. </p> <p>Relative to traditional balanced portfolios, the Fund will seek to provide greater capital loss protection during down markets. The portfolio’s management team will accomplish this through a three-step investment process. </p> <p>The first step involves asset selection. The management team selects representative assets to gain exposure to equity, fixed income and commodity markets. The selection process (1) evaluates a particular asset’s theoretical case for long-term excess returns relative to cash; (2) screens the identified assets to meet minimum liquidity criteria; and (3) reviews the expected correlation among the assets and the expected risk for each asset to determine whether the selected assets are likely to improve the expected risk adjusted return of the Fund.</p> <p>The second step involves portfolio construction. Proprietary estimates for risk and correlation are used by the management team to create a portfolio. The team re-estimates the risk contributed by each asset and re-optimizes the portfolio periodically or when new assets are introduced to the Fund.</p> <p>The final step involves active positioning. The management team actively adjusts portfolio positions to reflect the near-term market environment, while remaining consistent with the optimized long-term portfolio structure described in step two above. The management team balances these two competing ideas—opportunity for excess return from active positioning and the need to maintain asset class exposure set forth in the optimized portfolio structure—by setting controlled tactical ranges around the long-term asset allocation. The resulting asset allocation is then implemented by investing in derivatives, other financially-linked instruments, U.S. and foreign government debt securities, other securities, cash and cash equivalent instruments, including affiliated money market funds. By using derivatives, the Fund is able to gain greater exposure to assets within each class than would be possible using cash instruments, and thus seeks to balance the amount of risk each asset class contributes to the portfolio.</p> <p>The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective.</p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

falsefalse20false0rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlockrrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1falsefalsefalse00<p>As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing.</p> <p>An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.</p> <p>The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are: </p> <p><i>Active Trading Risk.</i> The Fund may engage in frequent trading of portfolio securities. Active trading results in added expenses and may result in a lower return. </p> <p><i>Commodity-Linked Notes Risk.</i> The Fund’s investments in commodity-linked notes may involve substantial risks, including risk of loss of a significant portion of their principal value. In addition to risks associated with the underlying commodities, they may be subject to additional special risks, such as the lack of a secondary trading market and temporary price distortions due to speculators and/or the continuous rolling over of futures contracts underlying the notes. Commodity-linked notes are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. </p> <p><i>Commodity Risk.</i> The Fund’s and the Subsidiary’s significant investment exposure to the commodities markets and/or a particular sector of the commodities markets, may subject the Fund and the Subsidiary to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. The commodities markets may fluctuate widely based on a variety of factors, including changes in overall market movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates and investment and trading activities of
mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds. Prices of various commodities may also be affected by factors such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments. The prices of commodities can also fluctuate widely due to supply and demand disruptions in major producing or consuming regions. Because the Fund’s and the Subsidiary’s performance is linked to the performance of potentially volatile commodities,
investors be willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s shares. </p>
<p><i>Counterparty Risk.</i> Many of the instruments that the Fund expects to hold may be subject to the risk that the other party to a contract will not fulfill its contractual obligations. </p>
<p><i>Credit Risk. </i> The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating. </p>
<p><i>Currency/Exchange Rate Risk.</i> The dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. </p>
<p><i>Derivatives Risk.</i> Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. A fund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. </p>
<p>The derivative instruments and techniques that the Fund and the Subsidiary may principally use include: </p>
<p><i>Swaps. </i> A swap contract is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, currencies or other instruments. Swaps are subject to credit risk and counterparty risk. </p>
<p><i>Futures. </i> A decision as to whether, when and how to use futures involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well conceived futures transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. </p>
<p><i>Developing Markets Securities Risk. </i> Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed countries. </p>
<p><i>Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. </i> An investment by the Fund in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: (1) a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; (2) failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; (3) the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; (4) failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and (5) holding troubled
securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which the Fund may invest are leveraged. The more a Fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. </p>
<p><i>Foreign Securities Risk. </i> The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies. </p>
<p><i>Interest Rate Risk. </i> Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration. </p>
<p><i>Leverage Risk. </i>Leverage exists when the Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction and the Fund could lose more than it invested. Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective. </p>
<p><i>Limited Number of Holdings Risk. </i> The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities or other instruments, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund. </p>
<p><i>Liquidity Risk. </i> The Fund may hold illiquid securities that it is unable to sell at the preferred time or price and could lose its entire investment in such securities. </p>
<p><i>Management Risk. </i>The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s and the underlying funds’ portfolio managers may not produce the desired results. </p>
<p><i>Market Risk. </i> The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations. </p><p><i>Non-Diversification Risk. </i> The Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in a single issuer. A change in the value of the issuer could affect the value of the Fund more than if it was a diversified fund. </p>
<p><i>Subsidiary Risk. </i> By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments, including derivatives and commodities. Because the Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), the Fund, as the sole investor in the Subsidiary, will not have the protections offered to investors in U.S. registered investment companies. Changes in the laws of the United
States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information, and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. </p>
<p><i>Tax Risk. </i> If the Internal Revenue Service were to change its position, as set out in a number of private letter rulings (which the Fund may not cite as precedent), such that the Fund’s income from the Subsidiary and commodity-linked notes is not “qualifying income,” the Fund may be unable to qualify as a regulated investment company for one or more years. In this event, the Fund’s Board may authorize a significant change in investment strategy or Fund liquidation. </p>
<p><i>U.S. Government Obligations Risk.</i> The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. </p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.
