Catalyst Funds Converts Third Hedge Fund

Catalyst/Stone Beach Income Opportunity Fund Utilizes Strategy from Hedge Fund Predecessor

Huntington, NY – November 24, 2014 – Catalyst Funds, an alternative-focused mutual fund company, today announced the launch of the Catalyst/Stone Beach Income Opportunity Fund (IOXAX). The Fund is a conversion of the Stone Beach Special Opportunity Fund, LLC, a hedge fund. Now available as a mutual fund product, the Fund utilizes the same strategy as its hedge fund predecessor and is Catalyst’s third conversion of this kind.

“The Catalyst/Stone Beach Income Opportunity Fund’s hedge fund predecessor offered a proven strategy that we are proud to now bring to mutual fund investors,” commented Jerry Szilagyi, CEO of Catalyst Funds. “The addition of IOXAX to Catalyst’s product offerings continues our tradition of providing investors with a variety of liquid alternative strategies to complement a diversified portfolio.”

IOXAX seeks to generate high current income and superior returns over time while actively hedging to minimize declines during adverse market conditions. The Fund focuses on delivering monthly dividend income derived from investments in mortgage-backed securities (MBS), including U.S. agency and non-agency residential MBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and other related instruments. Investments may include pass through and structured securities, such as fixed, floating and inverse floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) as well as interest-only and principal-only MBS. The Fund, which will be managed by David Lysenko and Ed Smith, employs an actively managed hedged strategy to limit declines in the net asset value of the portfolio in adverse market conditions.

Investing in the Fund carries certain risks. The value of the Fund may decrease in response to the activities and financial prospects of an individual security in the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issue and may own fewer securities than other mutual funds. The performance of the Fund may be subject to substantial short-term changes. If a security sold short increases in price, the Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short sale price, resulting in a loss. There may be risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. The Fund’s short term option writing can carry additional trading risks in that unexpected market movements can have a leveraged effect on option prices thus causing greater risks to the option seller. The Fund’s use of stock futures involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities.

The Fund may invest, directly or indirectly, in “junk bonds.”  Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks than higher quality debt securities. Investments in lesser- known, small and mid -capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations. These factors may affect the value of your investment.
