LGM Risk Managed Total Return Fund
LGM Risk Managed Total Return Fund (LBETX)
LGM Risk Managed Total Return Fund (LBETX) is a SEC registered mutual fund.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks to provide total return from capital appreciation and income with lower volatility than the S&P 500 Index, with a secondary objective of limiting risk during unfavorable or declining market conditions.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means it invests primarily in other funds. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in (or allocating to) unaffiliated equity exchange traded funds (“Equity ETFs”) designed to track U.S. equity indices, U.S. money markets, Inverse ETFs and unaffiliated fixed income ETFs (“Bond ETFs”) designed to track major U.S. fixed-income indices and/or benchmark bonds including U.S. investment-grade bonds, U.S. Treasuries, and mortgage-backed securities of all maturities. The adviser’s decision to invest in Equity ETFs, Inverse ETFs, Bond ETFs or money market funds is based on the adviser’s technical research and analysis, including monitoring price movements and price trends of equity markets. The adviser’s strategy of investing in Inverse ETFs, Bond ETFs or money market funds is intended to provide income or protect principal by reducing risks associated with equity markets, and lower volatility during unfavorable or declining market conditions. The adviser may invest all or a portion of the Fund’s assets in Equity ETFs, Inverse ETFs, Bond ETFs or money market funds at any given time, depending on its assessment of market trends and other factors. A market trend is the movement of a financial market in a particular direction over time.
Principal Investment Risks
As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a security will fail to pay principal and interest in a timely manner, reducing the Fund’s total return. The price of a fixed income security tends to drop if the rating of the underlying issuer drops and the probability of the failure to pay principal and interest increases. Credit risk may be substantial for the Fund.
Equity Risk
Equity securities are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value. The equity securities held by the Fund may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors affecting securities markets generally, the equity securities of a particular sector, or a particular company.
Extension Risk
Refers to the risk that if interest rates rise, repayments of principal on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected and the expected maturity of those securities could lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply.
Fixed Income Risk
The Fund may invest in fixed income securities, directly or through ETFs. The credit quality rating of securities may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition deteriorates and issuers may default on their interest and or principal payments. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities.
Fund of Funds Risk
The ETFs and money market funds in which the Fund invests (“Underlying Funds”) are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which are paid indirectly by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund is higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each of the Underlying Funds is subject to its own specific risks. The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the ability of the ETFs in which it invests and their respective investment managers, to meet their investment objectives.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that bond prices overall, including the prices of securities held by the Fund, will decline over short or even long periods of time due to rising interest rates. Bonds with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to interest rates than bonds with shorter maturities. For example, if interest rates go up by 1.0%, the price of a 4% coupon bond will decrease by approximately 1.0% for a bond with 1 year to maturity and approximately 4.4% for a bond with 5 years to maturity. An increase in interest rates may result in a decline in the value of the bond investments held by the Fund. As a result, for the present, interest rate risk may be heightened.
Management Risk
The adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular security in which the Fund invests or sells may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.
Market Risk and Geopolitical Risk
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate -change and climate related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Fund. The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the underlying stocks comprising the ETFs held by the Fund. Factors such as domestic and international economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets and stock prices.
Portfolio Turnover Risk
The Fund’s movement into and out of ETFs leads to high portfolio turnover. A higher portfolio turnover will result in higher transactional and brokerage costs.
