Catalyst Funds Launches Two New Funds

New Alternative Income and Liquid Alternative Funds Rooted in Proven Hedge Fund Strategies

Huntington, NY – November 11, 2014 – Catalyst Funds, an alternative-focused mutual fund company, today announced the launch of two new funds, adding to the variety of liquid alternative and alternative income strategies offered by the company. The funds, Catalyst Time Value Trading Fund (TVTAX) and Catalyst/Princeton Hedged Income Fund (HIFAX), are rooted in proven strategies used in hedge funds run by the portfolio managers.

“We are proud to make these sophisticated strategies, previously only available via hedge funds, available to all investors in the form of mutual funds,” commented Jerry Szilagyi, CEO of Catalyst Funds. “The introduction of these funds continues Catalyst’s tradition of offering distinctive strategies for investors, with a focus on the liquid alternative and alternative income spaces.”

The new funds increase Catalyst Funds’ liquid alternative funds to a total of ten funds. The two new funds will focus on distinct strategies:

• Catalyst Time Value Trading Fund (TVTAX): TVTAX primarily writes short-term call and put options on S&P 500 Index futures, and invests in cash and cash equivalents, including high-quality short-term fixed income securities such as U.S. Treasury securities. While options investments will focus mainly on S&P 500 Index futures, it may include other futures markets such as agricultural products, metals, currencies, interest rates and other financial instruments, as well as equity and other financial indices. Managed by Gerald Black and Jeff Dean, the Fund also buys and sells futures contracts themselves, and buys options as hedging vehicles and to seek incremental gain.
• Catalyst/Princeton Hedged Income Fund (HIFAX): HIFAX primarily invests in fixed income securities, in a range of products including: floating rate bank loans, agency and non-agency mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, corporate bonds, debt securities of the U.S. and foreign governments and their agencies, certificates of deposit and other money market instruments. Managed by Munish Sood, the Fund will hedge by actively shorting instruments linked to various indices and invest in various derivative instruments, including options and swaps, to manage short term market volatility risk, credit risk and interest rate risk.

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.
