Investing in the Fund carries certain risks. The Fund will invest apercentage of its assets in derivatives, such as futures and optionscontracts. The use of such derivatives and the resulting high portfolioturn-over may expose the Fund to additional risks that it would not besubject to if it invested directly in the securities and commoditiesunderlying those derivatives. The Fund may experience losses that exceedthose experienced by funds that do not use futures contracts and optionsstrategies. Investing in commodities markets may subject the Fund togreater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Currencytrading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Foreigninvesting involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments.Changes in interest rates and the liquidity of certain investments couldaffect the Fund’s overall performance. The Fund is non-diversified and asa result, changes in the value of a single security may have significanteffect on the Fund’s value. Other risks include U.S. Government securitiesrisks and investments in fixed income securities. Typically, a rise ininterest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities orderivatives owned by the Fund. Furthermore, the use of leveraging canmagnify the potential for gain or loss and amplify the effects of marketvolatility on the Fund’s share price. The Fund is subject to regulatorychange and tax risks; changes to current rules could increase costsassociated with an investment in the Fund. These factors may affect thevalue of your investment.

The AlphaCentric PREMIUM opportunity fund (HMXIX) seeks to provide equity-like returns with bond-like volatility

3

• Positive Returns in Most Market Environments

• An “Odds in our Favor” Investment Approach

• Low Market Correlation to Equities and Bonds

• Absence Of Large Negative Years Relative To S&P 500

HMXIX seeks to provide investors:

There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. There is a risk that changes in volatility assumptions are not consistent or correlated for options of various terms to expiration. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

There is no guarantee the Fund will provide this.

The Fund's objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation
