We believe high-quality companies that excel at creating value for others and trade at a discount to intrinsic value offer superior long-term risk-adjusted returns.

We believe the best way to measure the intrinsic value of a company is with Discounted Cash Flow valuation analysis.

This takes into account the magnitude, timing, and risk of future free cash flows, discounted to today based on the company’s cost of capital. It also takes into account the sustainability of its competitive advantages (reflected in the fade rate).

Valuation Analysis

• Measure intrinsic value through Discounted Cash Flow analysis.

• Build DCF model using forecast assumptions and then probability-adjust the calculated net present value based on our qualitative assessment of the company.

• Identify securities with sustainable income potential that are trading at a discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.

Portfolio Construction, Risk Management

• Construct portfolio with goals of diversification across asset classes and diversification by income source while maintaining low correlation to broad equity and bond markets.

• Use alternative income categories to supplement traditional income paying stocks.• Position portfolio using cash and other tools to allow security selection to mesh with our macro views at

the portfolio level.• Establish macro views through synthesis of three data streams: economic indicators, valuation metrics

(including relative yield), and sentiment indicators

Prior to June 30, 2017, this summary sheet sourced market risk data from Zephyr StyleADVISOR. Other updates to this summary sheet include information intended to help investors assess performance and risk factors associated with the fund’s benchmarks. The performance and risk factor comparisons are against the S&P 500 Total Return Index (“Index”). Alpha is a measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. It takes the volatility (price risk) of a fund and compares its risk-adjusted performance to the Index. Any excess return of the fund relative to the return of the Index is a fund’s alpha. Beta is a measure of the volatility of a fund relative to the Index. A beta greater than 1 is more volatile than the Index. R-Squared measures how a fund’s performance correlates with the Index’s performance and it can help assess how likely it is that beta is statistically significant. Standard Deviation of return measures the amount of variation in historical performance from period to period.6. Since inception market risk details assume inception date of 1 August 2015 and not Class N’s actual inception date of 15 July 2015, as only full month data is included in the market risk calculations.

Important InformationInvestors in the Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund should be aware that interest rates are at historic lows and may change at any time based on government policy. In general, the price of a fixed income security falls when interest rates rise. A rise in interest rates may result in volatility and increased redemptions, which in turn could result in the fund being forced to liquidate portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices. Longer-term securities may be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The intermediate-term bond portion of the Multi-Asset Income Fund’s portfolio may represent 0% to 100% of the Fund’s portfolio with an average duration of between two and eight years. The Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund may invest in other funds. If other funds are utilized, such underlying funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in underlying funds and may be higher than other mutual funds that do not invest in underlying funds. The Fund may invest, directly or indirectly, in “junk bonds.” Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks than higher quality debt securities. There are unique risks associated with REITs, preferred stocks, convertible bonds, and BDCs that are covered in the Fund's prospectus and SAI.

The Eventide Multi-Asset Income Fund and Eventide Global Dividend Opportunities Fund can invest in MLPs and Yieldcos. MLPs carry unique risks including risks surrounding its tax status and risk pertaining to rising interest rates, both of which can negatively impact share price. Yieldcos carry different risks including Yieldco Sponsor Risk and cash flow risk. The Eventide Global Dividend Opportunities Fund is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate.

Our Investment Philosophy

The Adviser's analysis may prove to be incorrect. There is no guarantee that any investment will achieve its objectives, generate positive returns, or avoid losses.

We believe the best way to measure the intrinsic value of a company is with Discounted Cash Flow valuation analysis. This takes into account the magnitude, timing, and risk of future free cash flows, discounted to today based on the company’s cost of capital. It also takes into account the sustainability of its competitive advantages (reflected in the fade rate) and our differentiated view from the market:

We believe high-quality companies that excel at creating value for others and trade at a discount to intrinsic value, offer superior long-term risk-adjusted returns.

A “great” company that we think will sustain superior returns for longer than the market anticipates.

A company that we think can improve its returns more than the market expects.

Market overreaction to a temporary negative.

Market underreaction to a positive change.

Underfollowed stocks.
