Certain of the Fund’s executive officers and/or trustees and others are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. The alleged false and misleading statements and omissions include, but are not limited to, that: (i) the Fund’s prospectuses declared “The Fund employs strict risk management procedures to adjust portfolio exposure as necessitated by changing market conditions”; (ii) despite converting from hedge fund to a more risk-limiting mutual fund, it continued to invest using a heightened risk strategy; and (iii) as a result, the Fund’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Between February 2, 2017 and March 15, 2017, the net asset value of the Fund’s Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class I shares has declined approximately 21 percent.
