EuroPac Hard Assets Fund
Investment Objective
Income and capital appreciation
Strategy: Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in hard asset securities of companies located in Europe and the Pacific Rim. The Fund’s advisor defines hard asset securities as equity and fixed income securities of companies that derive at least 50% of gross revenue or profit from production or distribution of precious metals, natural resources, real estate or other commodities. The Fund’s advisor considers a country to be part of Europe if its index is part of the MSCI European indexes or part of the Pacific Rim if any of its borders touches the Pacific Ocean. The Fund is "non-diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), which means that it may invest more of its assets in fewer positions than "diversified" mutual funds. The Fund may invest in securities, including sovereign debt securities, denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies.
The Fund seeks to identify hard asset securities and other securities in countries and currencies that will be most effective as a hedge against inflation and U.S. dollar weakness, and provide the best potential for capital appreciation, given the outlook on the economy. In making this determination the Advisor will assess the current world economic climate, and the potential for growth and inflation. The advisor will also attempt to target countries and currencies that it believes will provide long term capital appreciation and provide reliable protection against inflation and U.S. dollar weakness.
Carefully consider the risks and special considerations associated with investing in the fund. You may lose money by investing in the fund. Foreign investments also present risks due to currency fluctuations, economic and political factors, lower liquidity, government regulations, differences in securities regulations and accounting standards, possible changes in taxation, limited public information and other factors. The risks are magnified in countries with emerging markets, since these countries may have relatively unstable governments and less established markets and economies. More information about these risks and others can be found in the fund’s prospectus. Benchmark: S&P Global Natural Resources Index
