Effective March 2020, the Fund intends to maintain a target $0.10 monthly distribution on the Class C share such that the Class A and Class I share classes will typically have distributions equal to or greater than $0.10 per share. The distribution may consist of return of capital. No distribution amount is guaranteed.
All or a portion of a distribution may consist of a return of capital (i.e., from your original investment). Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. Shareholders should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares.
SEC Yield: A standardized yield calculation created by the SEC that reflects the net income earned during a 30-day period.
Record Date: The date established for the purpose of determining the holders who are entitled to receive a distribution.
Payable Date: The date the distribution is scheduled to be paid.
There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
Investing in the Fund carries certain risks. The value of the Fund may decrease in response to the activities and financial prospects of an individual security in the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund focuses its investments in the energy infrastructure sector, which may cause the performance of the Fund to be tied closely to developments in the energy sector. The Fund investments may include foreign securities. Foreign companies are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as domestic securities thereby resulting in less publicly available information. Investments in lesser-known, small and medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations. Investments in MLPs and MLP-related securities involve risks different from those of investing in common stocks. Potential risks include conflicts of interest between an MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, and dilution risks. MLPs and MLP-related securities are generally considered interest-rate sensitive investments. Depending on the state of interest rates in general, the use of MLPs could enhance or harm the overall performance of the Fund. These factors may affect the value of your investment.

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
Mutual Funds involve risks including the possible loss of principal. The Fund may focus its investments in securities to a particular sector or type of securities to the extent the Index is similarly concentrated. A counterparty may become bankrupt or otherwise fail to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, jeopardizing the value of the Fund’s investment. Derivative instruments, including options, may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. A small investment in a derivative could risk a large potential impact on the performance of the Fund. As the buyer of a put option, the Fund assumes the risk of a rise in the market price of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option which will cause a loss of the premium paid for the option. As a seller (writer) of a put option, the Fund will lose money if the value of the security falls below the strike price. Using leverage can magnify the Fund’s potential for gain or loss and; therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price. Fixed income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Common and preferred stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. Other investment companies including ETFs, in which the Fund invests are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. Increased portfolio turnover causes the Fund to incur higher brokerage costs, capital gains and taxable distributions. The Fund is non-diversified and may engage in a representative sampling approach or invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issue. The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a rebalancing of the Index as addressed in the Index methodology. Tracking error may occur because of imperfect correlation between the Fund’s holdings of portfolio securities and those in the Index, pricing differences, the Fund’s holding of cash, differences on timing of the accrual of dividends, changes to the Index or the need to meet various regulatory requirements. The Fund may invest in U.S. government or agency obligations which may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

Static Floor: This represents the approximate level of downside risk that investors could expect without optimization. The downside risk is relative to the value at which the investment strategy was implemented.
Optimization: This represents the process of making adjustments to the floor with the goal of keeping downside risk relative to market conditions. For example, in a rising market, the floor would be optimized upwards so that the downside risk is approximately 12.5% of the market value at the time of optimization rather than 12.5% at the time of initially implementing the strategy.
