The Fund predominantly invests in dividend-paying companies and uses call options in an attempt to create incremental income and reduce portfolio volatility. The Fund seeks to make income a more significant component of the total investment return and targets long term risk‐adjusted returns versus long‐only equities. The goal is a portfolio that generates a higher than average annual income. 2012 1Y PERFORMANCE as of 12/31/2014 A Share (no Load) I Share A Share (with Load) 6.20% 6.48% 0.45% Since Inception*** 7.30%* 10.61%** 5.48%* * Inception date A Share: July 7, 2011/Returns greater than 1 year are annualized ** Inception date I Share: November 16th, 2011/Returns greater than 1 year are annualized *** Since inception return for most recent quarter-end (12/31/2014) Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Iron Horse Fund.

The net long position of a covered call strategy will by definition be smaller than that of the stock portfolio itself.  By using a Covered Call Strategy, the goal is to exchange the uncertain upside potential of a stock price (beyond a certain pre-determined target price) for a certain amount of current period income.  The Fund’s goal in using covered calls is to outperform the market over the course of a business cycle. These strategies generally perform best in sideways or downward moving markets but may underperform when markets move dramatically higher.

Call Option: An agreement that gives an investor the right (but not the obligation) to buy a security at a specified price within a specific time period. Covered Call: An options strategy whereby an investor holds a long position in an asset and writes (sells) call options on that same asset in an attempt to generate increased income from the asset. Return on Investment: rate of return annualized over a given period, expressed on an annual basis or as a return per year. Volatility: A statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Volatility is often measured by using the standard deviation between a security’s returns and a market index. Typically, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. Standard Deviation: a measure of daily volatility of returns. Typically, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. Beta: a measure of the volatility of a fund relative to the overall market. Sharpe Ratio: A riskadjusted measure used to determine reward per unit of risk. R-Squared: The percentage of a fund’s movement that can be explained by movements in its benchmark index. Mutual Funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal. There is no assurance that the fund will achieve its investment objectives. The use of leverage embedded in written options will limit the Fund's gains because the Fund may lose more than the option premium received. Selling covered call options will limit the Fund's gain, if any, on its underlying securities and the Fund continues to bear the risk of a decline in the value of its underlying stocks. The CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXM) is a benchmark index designed to track the performance of a hypothetical buy-write strategy on the S&P 500 Index. The BXM is a passive total return index based on (1) buying an S&P 500 stock index portfolio, and (2) "writing" (or selling) the near-term S&P 500 Index (SPXSM) "covered" call option, generally on the third Friday of each month. The S&P 500 Index consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is a market-value weighted index (stock price times number of shares outstanding), with each stock's weight in the Index proportionate to its market value. It is widely used as a benchmark of U.S. equity performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Standard deviation is a statistical measurement of volatility risk based on historical returns. 6004-NLD-1/5/2015 (855) 241-7514 www.ironhorsefund.com
