IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND - The Government Long Bond 1.2x Strategy
Fund (the "Fund") is very different from most other mutual funds in that it
seeks daily leveraged investment results. As a result, the Fund may be riskier
than alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an
investment is magnified.

The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund's performance
to not correspond to the performance of the Fund's benchmark (as defined below)
over a period of time greater than one day. This means that the return of the
Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the result of each
day's compounded returns over the period, which will likely differ from the
return of the Fund's benchmark for that period. As a consequence, especially in
periods of market volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the
longer period may be at least as important to the Fund's cumulative return for
the longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant
longer period. Further, the return for investors who invest for a period longer
than a single trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund's
stated investment goal (e.g., 1.2x) and the cumulative performance of the
benchmark (as defined below).

The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by
investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage,
(b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results,
and (c) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who
do not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in
the Fund is not a complete investment program.
Investment Objective, Heading rr_ObjectiveHeading INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE -
investment Objective, Primary rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond, before fees and
expenses, to a benchmark for U.S. government securities on a daily basis. The
Fund's current benchmark is 120% of the daily price movement of the Long
Treasury Bond. The Long Treasury Bond is the U.S. Treasury bond with the
longest maturity, which is currently 30 years. The price movement of the Long
Treasury Bond is based on the daily price change of the most recently issued
Long Treasury Bond. The Fund does not seek to achieve its investment objective
over a period of time greater than one day.
Expense, Heading rr_ExpenseHeading FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND -
Expense, Narrative rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold
Advisor Class Shares or Investor Class Shares of the Fund.

Operating Expenses, Caption rr_OperatingExpensesCaption ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Portfolio Turnover, Heading rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading PORTFOLIO TURNOVER -
Portfolio Turnover rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock
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
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate
was 1,930% of the average value of its portfolio. However, the Fund's portfolio
turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments or derivatives.
If such instruments were included, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate might be significantly
higher.

Expense Example, Heading rr_ExpenseExampleHeading EXAMPLE -
Expense Example, Narrative rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in
the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated, and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. 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 on these assumptions your costs would be:
Investment Strategy, Heading rr_StrategyHeading PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES -
Investment Strategy, Narrative rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of investing in U.S.
government securities and derivative instruments, which primarily consist of
futures contracts, interest rate swaps, and options on securities and futures
contracts. Futures and options contracts, and interest rate swaps, if used properly,
may enable the Fund to meet its objective by increasing the Fund's exposure to the
securities included in its benchmark or to securities whose performance is highly
correlated to its benchmark. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least
80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in fixed income
securities issued by the U.S. government (and derivatives thereof). Some of the Fund's
U.S. government securities, or cash equivalents, will be used to collateralize its derivative
positions. The Fund also may invest in zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds.
Certain of the Fund's derivative investments may be traded in the over-the-counter
("OTC") market. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis,
the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the
close of the U.S. financial markets. The Fund is non-diversified and, therefore, may
invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer in comparison to a diversified fund.
Risk, Heading rr_RiskHeading PRINCIPAL RISKS -
Risk, Narrative rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
As with all mutual funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk
that his or her investment could lose money. In addition to this risk, the Fund
is subject to a number of additional risks that may affect the value of its
shares, including:

Active Trading Risk - Active trading, also called "high portfolio turnover," may
result in higher brokerage costs or mark-up charges, which may negatively affect
Fund performance and result in short-term capital gains, which have a negative
tax effect. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active
trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment
objective.

Correlation and Compounding Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund's
ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, and there
can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation.
Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from
achieving its investment objective. The risk of the Fund not achieving its daily
investment objective will be more acute when the Long Treasury Bond has an
extreme one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of
compounding, the Fund's performance for periods greater than one day is likely
to be either greater than or less than the performance of the Long Treasury Bond
times the stated multiple in the Fund's investment objective, before accounting
for fees and fund expenses.

Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on a
leveraged benchmark fund. In general, particularly during periods of higher
benchmark volatility, compounding will cause longer-term results to be more or
less than the return of the Fund's benchmark. This effect becomes more
pronounced as volatility increases.

Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set
of assumptions for the following factors: (a) the performance of the Long
Treasury Bond; (b) volatility of the Long Treasury Bond; (c) financing rates
associated with leverage; (d) other Fund expenses; and (e) period of time. The
chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors - volatility and
index performance - on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns
for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over a one-year
period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no Fund expenses; and (b) a
cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses were included, the Fund's
performance would be lower than shown.

Areas shaded lighter represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to
return more than 120% of the performance of the Long Treasury Bond; conversely,
areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to
return less than 120% of the performance of the Long Treasury Bond.

The Long Treasury Bond's annualized historical volatility rate for the five year
period ended June 30, 2011 is 16.61%. The Long Treasury Bond's highest one-year
volatility rate during the five year period is 25.15%. The Long Treasury Bond's
annualized performance for the five year period ended June 30, 2011 is 6.66%.

The historical volatility and performance of the Long Treasury Bond are not
indications of what the Long Treasury Bond volatility and performance will be in
the future.

Counterparty Credit Risk - The Fund may make investments in financial
instruments involving counterparties that attempt to gain exposure to a
particular group of securities, index or asset class without actually purchasing
those securities or investments, or to hedge a position. The Fund's use of such
financial instruments, including swap agreements, involves risks that are
different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions.
For example, if a swap agreement counterparty defaults on its payment
obligations to the Fund, this default will cause the value of your investment in
the Fund to decrease. Swap agreements also may be considered to be illiquid.

Derivatives Risk - The Fund's investments in derivatives may pose risks in
addition to those associated with investing directly in securities or other
investments, including illiquidity of the derivatives, imperfect correlations
with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, lack of
availability and counterparty risk.

Early Closing Risk - The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early
closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the
Fund's inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on
that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.

Fixed Income Risk - The Fund's investments in fixed income securities will
change in value in response to interest rate changes and other factors, such as
the perception of the issuer's creditworthiness. For example, the value of fixed
income securities will generally decrease when interest rates rise, which may
cause the value of the Fund to decrease. In addition, the Fund's investments in
fixed income securities with longer maturities will fluctuate more in response
to interest rate changes.

Leveraging Risk - The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the Long Treasury Bond
through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in
leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those
investments. The Fund's investment in these instruments generally requires a
small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a
result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested
in those instruments. Since the Fund's investment strategy involves consistently
applied leverage, the value of the Fund's shares will tend to increase or decrease
more than the value of any increase or decrease in the Long Treasury Bond. Leverage
also will have the effect of magnifying tracking error.

Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, it may be difficult for the Fund to
purchase and sell particular investments within a reasonable time at a fair
price. In addition, the ability of the Fund to assign an accurate daily value to
certain investments may be difficult, and the Advisor may be required to fair
value the investments.

Market Risk - The Fund's investments in securities and derivatives, in general,
are subject to market risks that may cause their prices, and therefore the
Fund's value, to fluctuate over time. An investment in the Fund may lose money.

Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest
a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single security
could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in
a diversified fund.

OTC Trading Risk - Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may
be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC
derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is
largely unregulated. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated
contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such
derivative contracts.

Passive Investment Risk - The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does
not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, the
Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market than a fund that is
actively managed.

Tracking Error Risk - The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund's
performance to correspond to that of the Fund's benchmark, either on a daily or
aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between
the Fund's investments and the Long Treasury Bond, rounding of share prices,
regulatory policies, high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all
contribute to tracking error. Tracking error may cause the Fund's performance to
be less than you expect.

Trading Halt Risk - If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable
to purchase or sell securities, options or futures contracts. Such a trading
halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund's ability to
use leverage and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.

Risk, Nondiversified Status rr_RiskNondiversifiedStatus The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single security could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund.
