 investment companies, including, without limitation,
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and may invest in foreign ETFs. The Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The Fund may invest in securities of companies with small and medium market capitalizations.

The Fund may invest without limit in illiquid securities (i.e., securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary
course of business at approximately the value at which the Fund has valued the securities).

Duration Strategy. It is expected that
the Fund normally will have a short to intermediate average portfolio duration (i.e., within a zero to eight (0 to 8) year range), as calculated by the Adviser, although it may be shorter or longer at any time or from time to time depending
on market conditions and other factors. While the Fund seeks to maintain a short to intermediate average portfolio duration, there is no limit on the maturity or duration of any individual security in which the Fund may invest. The Adviser believes
that maintaining duration within this range offers flexibility and the opportunity for above-average returns while potentially limiting exposure to interest rate volatility and related risk. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of
a security’s price to changes in interest rates. The Fund’s duration strategy may entail maintaining a negative average portfolio duration from time to time, which would potentially benefit the portfolio in an environment of rising market
interest rates, but would generally adversely impact the portfolio in an environment of falling or neutral market interest rates. The Adviser may also utilize certain strategies, including without limit investments in structured notes or interest
rate futures contracts or swap, cap, floor or collar transactions, for the purpose of reducing the interest rate sensitivity of the Fund’s portfolio, although there is no assurance that it will do so or that such strategies will be successful.

Leverage. The Fund can utilize leverage through the use of a credit facility. The Fund has entered into a line of credit agreement
with The Bank of New York Mellon which permits the Fund to borrow up to $[ ] million at a rate, per annum, equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.00%. There is also an annual facility fee of $[ ] for the contract period. As of [ ],
2025, the Fund had outstanding a line of credit balance of approximately $[ ], which represented approximately [ ]% of the Fund’s Managed Assets. The Fund may also enter into transactions that may give rise to a form
of leverage including, among others, futures and forward contracts
