Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund

 

Fund Objective

 

The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Fund Highlights

 

  • The Fund will invest primarily in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies.

  • The Fund may invest in any country, market, and sector/industry across the market capitalization range within the Fund's predefined investment guidelines.

  • Philosophy and process designed to capitalize on market dislocations based on fear and greed.

  • Intensive, original research leads to deep understanding of portfolio holdings.

  • Risk is viewed on an absolute term and defined as permanent loss of capital/purchasing power.

Principal Risks

 

To determine if this Fund is an appropriate investment for you, carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund before investing. This and other information can be found in the summary and full prospectuses, which may be obtained by contacting your investment professional or calling Kopernik Fund at 1-855-887-4KGI (4544). Read them carefully before investing. Check with your investment professional to determine if the Fund is available for sale within their firm. Not all funds are available for sale at all firms.

The Fund may purchase or write options, which involve the payment or receipt of a premium by the investor and the corresponding right or obligation, as the case may be, to either purchase or sell the underlying instrument for a specific price at a certain time or during a certain period. Purchasing options involves the risk that the underlying instrument will not change price in the manner expected, so that the investor loses its premium. Put and call options on indices give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount of cash if the closing level of the underlying index is greater than (or less than, in the case of puts) the exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal to the difference between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the option, expressed in dollars multiplied by a specified number. Thus, unlike options on individual securities, all settlements are in cash, and gain or loss depends on price movements in the particular market represented by the index generally, rather than the price movements in individual securities.

Mutual fund investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its stated objectives.
