To determine if the Fund is an appropriate investment for you, carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk, and charges and expenses. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s full and summary prospectus which can be obtained by calling 646-929-3459 or by visiting www.Arenssecurities.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

 

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. International investments entail risks not ordinarily associated with U.S. investments including fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, or economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. Concentration in infrastructure-related securities involves sector risk and concentration risk, particularly greater exposure to adverse economic, regulatory, political, legal, liquidity, and tax risks associated with MLPs and REITs. The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses.

​

Investments in private placements and start-up investments in particular tend to be speculative, illiquid and involve a high degree of risk.  Those investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment should not invest in start-ups. Companies seeking startup investments tend to be in earlier stages of development and their business model, products and services may not yet be fully developed, operational or tested in the public marketplace. There is no guarantee that the stated valuation and other terms are accurate or in agreement with the market or industry valuations. Additionally, investors may receive restricted stock that may be subject to holding period requirements. In the most sensible investment strategy for start-up investing, start-ups should only be part of your overall investment portfolio. Investing in private placements carries additional risk and you should be prepared to lose some or all of your investment. Prospective clients are strongly urged to review the offering documents carefully and consult with their own financial, legal and tax advisors prior to investing.
