 In Spotlights

Catalyst/Millburn Hedge Strategy Fund (MBXIX) and Catalyst Dynamic

Huntington, NY – February 21, 2018 – Catalyst Funds, an alternative-focused mutual fund company, is pleased to announce that two of its mutual funds have been nominated by Investors Choice Awards 2018: New York for outstanding investment managers. The Catalyst/Millburn Hedge Strategy Fund (Tickers: MBXAX, MBXCX, MBXIX) has been nominated in two categories: Multi-Strategy Fund category and Multi-Strategy Fund-Long Term Performance category. The Catalyst Dynamic Alpha Fund (Tickers: CPEAX, CPECX, CPEIX) has been nominated in the North American Long Only Equity Fund category.

The awards are judged by a distinguished panel of institutional investors that take into account a set of qualitative criteria covering the investment process, risk management framework and depth of research team, as well as a set of quantitative performance measures including annualized returns, volatility, and maximum drawdown.

“We are honored to have two of our funds nominated for the prestigious Investors Choice Awards,” said Jerry Szilagyi, CEO of Catalyst Funds. “These nominations are evidence that many investors share our goals and beliefs to provide value over time and across a range of market conditions.”

MBXIX’s portfolio is comprised of two distinct components: long/short futures, commodities & FX and global equity exposure. The long/short futures and forward positions in currency, fixed income, stock index and commodity instruments are determined by multi-factor, quantitative and systematic trading and investment strategies, which respond to varied market conditions. This portfolio of global liquid instruments and strategies has historically performed well in periods of stress for equities. MBXIX is subadvised by Millburn Ridgefield Corporation

CPEIX’s portfolio systematically analyzes equities across all sectors and market capitalizations. A timetested methodology utilized for over 30 years is implemented for security selection. The defined buy and sell methodology ensures a replicable approach to seeking alpha in all market conditions. The Fund eliminates artificial market segmentations to concentrate on sectors, trends and exposures exhibiting characteristics of emerging growth. The Fund maintains a concentrated portfolio of 20 to 30 stocks and will invest at least 80% of holdings in equity securities.

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

MBXIX Disclosures: Investing in the Fund carries certain risks. The Fund will invest a percentage of its assets in derivatives, such as futures and options contracts. The use of such derivatives and the resulting high portfolio turn-over may expose the Fund to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it invested directly in the securities and commodities underlying those derivatives. The Fund may experience losses that exceed those experienced by funds that do not use futures contracts, options and hedging strategies. Investing in commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments. Changes in interest rates and the liquidity of certain investments could affect the Fund’s overall performance. The Fund is non-diversified and as a result, changes in the value of a single security may have significant effect on the Fund’s value. Other risks include U.S. Government securities risks and investments in fixed income securities. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities or derivatives owned by the Fund. Furthermore, the use of leveraging can magnify the potential for gain or loss and amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price. The Fund is subject to regulatory change and tax risks; changes to current rules could increase costs associated with an investment in the Fund. These factors may affect the value of your investment.

CPEIX Disclosures: 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. To the extent the Fund invests in the stocks of smaller-sized companies, the Fund may be subject to additional risks, including the risk that earnings and prospects of these companies are more volatile than larger companies. Smaller-sized companies may experience higher failure rates than larger companies and normally have lower trading volume than larger companies. These factors may affect the value of your investment.
