About AHLT
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by implementing a quantitative trading strategy and systematic investment process designed to capitalize on price trends (up and/or down) in a broad range of over 20 global markets including stock indices, bond indices, and currencies by utilizing derivative instruments. As the owner of a “long” position in a derivative instrument, the Fund may benefit from an increase in the price of the underlying investment and, as the owner of a “short” position, the Fund may benefit from a decrease in the price of the underlying investment.The Fund invests primarily in derivatives, including futures contracts (including equity index futures, bond index futures, currency futures, government bond futures, and treasury futures), and foreign currency forward contracts, including non-deliverable forwards (“NDFs”). Derivatives may be used for hedging purposes or for exposure to a market. The Fund expects that, under normal market conditions, the notional value of its derivatives exposure generally will exceed that of its net assets. In order to meet collateral requirements in connection with the Fund’s use of derivatives, for liquidity purposes, or to earn income, the Fund may hold significant amounts of (1) U.S. Treasury securities, (2) foreign developed market sovereign short-term bonds issued by countries such as France, Germany, and Japan, (3) short-term investments, (4) cash, (5) cash equivalents, and (6) time deposits. The Fund’s investments in government securities may be zero coupon securities. The Fund will invest in U.S. and non-U.S. currencies and instruments denominated in non-U.S. currencies. The Fund’s investments are generally made without restriction as to issuer, market capitalization, country, currency, or maturity. The Fund will have exposure to the U.S. and foreign developed markets. The Fund may have significant exposure to issuers located in, or with economic ties to, Europe and Japan. However, as the geographic composition of the Fund’s portfolio changes over time, the Fund’s exposure to Europe and Japan may decline, and the Fund’s exposure to other geographic areas may increase.The sub-advisor’s strategy is designed to provide an excess return with a stable level of volatility regardless of market conditions. The sub-advisor seeks to do this by using systematic algorithms (a mathematical model). An algorithm measures the degree of volatility in a particular market. If the market is turbulent, and returns are volatile, the algorithm will reduce exposure. Conversely, it will increase exposure, subject to risk limits, if the market is calm and volatilities are decreasing. This technique is called ‘volatility scaling’ and can be applied at various levels to achieve a balanced risk exposure through time, and across different asset classes. Volatility scaling aims to achieve a certain target level of volatility which is stable through time. The Fund has set an annualized volatility target of 15% of its net asset value (“NAV”). Volatility is defined as the annualized standard deviation of returns. It is important to note that both the short and long term realized volatility of the Fund can and will differ from the targeted volatility and can be dependent on prevailing market conditions.The Fund seeks to gain exposure to the commodity futures markets by investing up to 25% of its total assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary, which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”). Generally, the Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity futures, but it may also invest in financial futures and foreign currency forwards, including NDFs, fixed income securities, pooled investment vehicles, and other investments, certain of which may serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary’s derivative positions. The Fund invests in the Subsidiary in order to gain exposure to the commodities markets within the limitations of the federal tax law, rules and regulations that apply to “regulated investment companies.” Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivatives, however, the Subsidiary and the Fund, in the aggregate, will comply with applicable requirements for derivatives transactions set forth in Rule 18f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). In addition, the Fund and the Subsidiary comply with the same fundamental investment restrictions on an aggregate basis and the Subsidiary follows the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund to the extent those restrictions, policies and procedures are applicable to the investment activities of the Subsidiary. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary does not, and will not, seek to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Subchapter M”). The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary and does not expect shares of the Subsidiary to be offered or sold to other investors.The sub-advisor employs computerized processes to identify investment opportunities across a wide range of markets around the world. Investment decisions are executed via the sub-advisor’s proprietary execution strategy. The investment decision process is quantitative and primarily directional in nature, meaning that investment decisions are driven by mathematical models based on market trends and other historical relationships. It is underpinned by risk controls, ongoing research, and diversification guidelines. The Fund’s holdings may be frequently adjusted to reflect the sub-advisor’s assessment of changing risks, which could result in high portfolio turnover.The cornerstone of the sub-advisor’s investment philosophy is that the financial markets exhibit trends and other inefficiencies. Trends are a manifestation of serial correlation in financial markets — the phenomenon whereby past price movements influence price behavior. Although price trends vary in their intensity, duration and frequency, they typically recur across sectors and markets. Trends are an attractive focus for active trading styles applied across a range of global markets. In implementing its investment program, the Fund may hold significant cash positions from time to time. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it is not limited to a percentage of assets that it may invest in any one issuer.
