Investment Objective

The Mission-Auour Risk-Managed Global Equity Fund (“the Fund”) seeks long term capital appreciation through exposure to global equity markets.
 

Why Invest?

The Fund provides investors with the potential to:

• Help grow their assets by participating in rising markets, while helping to manage risk in advance of large market downturns  
• Have their investment managed via the Auour Regime Model (ARM), a proprietary risk detection algorithm that uses factors such as market momentum, credit market behavior, interaction of world markets, and valuation factors to seek the predictive ability to detect downturns

We believe the days of static asset allocations should be coming to a close. Likewise for a single investment style working in all environments. Instead, we think that today’s forward-thinking investment managers and investors need to detect changing market conditions, then act with foresight rather than “rush-for-the-door” hindsight. 

That’s why our managers for the Mission-Auour Risk-Managed Global Equity Fund use a proprietary, multi-factor investment model to analytically characterize markets across a spectrum of risk. Developed by Auour Investments, it’s called the Auour Regime Model (ARM), and it enables us to:

• Use fundamental global market data to gain insight into risks in various asset classes around the world
• Navigate market dynamics by adjusting asset allocations to better match the expected risk cycle
• Use this dynamic adjustment of assets to seek to avoid losses in market downturns, while potentially preserving performance in rising markets

(Note from the fund managers: In ARM, the word “Regime” is used according to its definition as a planned or systematized way of doing things—as in “a health regime”-as opposed to its other authoritarian, governmental meaning.)

Seeing risks ahead: Key variables.

With the Auour Regime Model, we use sophisticated quantitative modeling, logic, and empirical data to form our downside portfolio protection strategies. In doing so, we consider these key variables:

Fine-tuning: Focus on characteristics that work within the regime

We use five risk regimes that range from an aggressive posture during periods of economic recovery to a risk-off designation that is recommended for periods of financial crisis such as the banking crisis of 2008. Here’s what we mean by “investing to the regime”:

Additional Information

 

It’s important to review and understand the risks of investing in the Mission-Auour Risk-Managed Global Equity Fund. The Fund’s net asset value (NAV) and investment return will fluctuate based upon changes in the value of its portfolio securities. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund, and the Fund could underperform other investments. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s risks include but are not limited to:
 

• Equity Risk. To the extent the Fund invests directly in equity securities or in ETFs that invest in equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will decline over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund’s equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day.
• Dividend-Paying Securities Risk. Investing in dividend-paying securities subjects the Fund to certain risks. The company issuing such securities may fail and have to decrease or eliminate its dividend. In such an event, the Fund may not only lose the dividend payout, but the stock price of the company may fall.
• Fixed Income Securities Risk. Investing in fixed income securities subjects the Fund to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause the prices of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities to decline. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of bonds may not be able to meet interest or principal payments when the bonds become due.
• Investment Model Risk. Like all quantitatively-based investment processes, the Mission-Auour investment model carries a risk that the mathematical model might be based on one or more incorrect assumptions. Rapidly changing and unforeseen market dynamics could also lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the model. No assurance can be given that the Fund will be successful under all or any market conditions.
• Management Risk. The Mission-Auour team’s reliance on its strategy and judgments about the attractiveness, value, and potential appreciation of the particular securities and the tactical allocation among the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.
