    which aim to better preserve capital through the investment cycle while delivering uncorrelated investment returns. All of this is done with the intention of providing attractive risk-adjusted returns to investors.

The specific strategies that differentiate this Fund from other types of mutual funds include borrowing cash, engaging in short selling and investing in specified derivatives. While these strategies will be used in accordance with the Fund's objectives and strategies, during certain market conditions they may accelerate the pace at which your investment decreases in value.
