Past performance is not a guarantee of future
results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate
so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth
more or less than the original cost.
The
Masters 100 Fund can invest in small and medium sized companies,
which are often more volatile and less liquid than larger,
more established companies and therefore increase the volatility
of the Fund's portfolio. Additionally,
the m100 group, upon which the Masters 100 Fund's portfolio
manager relies in managing the Fund, is comprised of individuals
who may be amateur investors, not investment professionals.
Their track records are based on the performance of a simulated
stock portfolio on the website www.marketocracy.com. Members
of the m100 group are neither employees of the Fund or its
adviser, Marketocracy Capital Management, LLC
The
Technology Plus Fund is subject to greater than average risk
because of its focus on companies and industries related to
technology. The Fund can also invest in small and medium sized
companies, which are often more volatile and less liquid than
larger, more established companies and therefore increase the
volatility of the Fund's portfolio. The Technology Plus Fund
may also engage in short-selling and invest in futures and
options, and thus the Fund is subject to greater investment
risks than mutual funds that do not engage in such strategies.
Returns assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
