Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in non-investment grade bonds (also known as “junk bonds” or “high yield bonds”), which the Fund defines as securities rated lower than Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”), or, if unrated, as determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality. Fixed-income securities in which the Fund may invest include:

foreign (including emerging markets) and domestic bonds, notes, corporate debt, convertible debt securities, and preferred securities;
U.S. and foreign government securities and domestic municipal securities;
asset-backed securities, including agency and non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and credit-backed securities;
collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) that are backed by domestic and foreign debt obligations;
collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) that are backed by domestic and foreign debt obligations;
STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities, a type of zero-coupon debt instrument); and
repurchase agreements.

The Fund’s effective average duration of its portfolio investments will normally be three years or less. The Fund considers emerging markets countries to be those countries included in the Dow Jones Emerging Markets Index.

CMBS, RMBS, CLOs, and CDOs are single-purpose investment vehicles that hold baskets of loans and issue securities that are paid from the cash flows of the underlying loans. Normally, CMBS, RMBS, CLOs, and CDOs have multiple tranches, with investors in the bottom tranches having the last priority to receive payment. By investing in high yield debt tranches, the Fund will be lower than third in priority for payment. Loans and loan participations may be unsecured, which means that any specific assets of the borrower do not collateralize them. The Fund allocates assets across security types without restriction, subject to its 80% investment policy.

Leader Capital Corp. (the “Advisor”) utilizes a fundamental top-down analysis, meaning it analyzes the economy, interest rate cycles, the supply and demand for credit, and the characteristics of individual securities in making investment selections. The Advisor will consider a floating or variable-rate security to have a maturity equal to its stated maturity (or redemption date if it has been called for redemption), except that it may consider (1) variable-rate securities to have a maturity equal to the period remaining until the next readjustment in the interest rate, unless subject to a demand feature; (2) variable-rate securities subject to a demand feature to have a remaining maturity equal to the longer of (a) the next readjustment in the interest rate or (b) the period remaining until the principal can be recovered through demand; and (3) floating-rate securities subject to a demand feature to have a maturity equal to the period remaining until the principal can be recovered through demand.

The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its assets in equity securities, including securities of other investment companies such as exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, closed-end funds, and private funds such as hedge funds, private equity funds, and fund-of-funds. Additionally, the Fund may invest in credit default swaps for hedging purposes, as well as various derivatives, including options. It may also engage in foreign currency transactions. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in illiquid securities, including private credit. The Advisor may invest in these securities to hedge against portfolio or market risk, gain market or asset exposure, or for speculative purposes.

The Advisor may sell a security if its value becomes unattractive, such as when its fundamentals deteriorate or when other investment opportunities exist with more attractive yields. As a result of its trading strategy, the Fund expects to engage in frequent portfolio transactions that will likely result in higher portfolio turnover and commissions than many investment companies.
