RISKS and DISCLOSURES

Past performance does not guarantee future results and there is no assurance that any investment strategy will achieve its investment objective generate profits or avoid losses. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Sierra Mutual Funds. This and other information about the funds are contained in the prospectuses and should be read carefully before investing. The prospectus can be obtained on our website sierramutualfunds.com or by calling toll free 1-800-729-1467. The Sierra Mutual Funds are distributed by Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC. Neither Sierra Investment Management, Inc., Ocean Park Asset Management, Inc. nor Ocean Park Asset Management LLC are affiliated with Northern Lights Distributors, LLC. As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Advisory services to the Sierra Mutual Funds and Ocean Park ETFs are offered through Ocean Park Asset Management LLC, a registered investment adviser (?RIA?) regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (?SEC?). The advisory services are only offered in jurisdictions where the RIA is appropriately registered.

The use of the term ?registered? does not imply any particular level of skill or training and does not imply any approval by the SEC. All investments involve risk, including loss of principal. All strategies are subject to various risks, including general market and operational risks, risks associated with the active/tactical management of investments, and specific risks related to the securities and investments recommended by Ocean Park.

Underlying Funds may invest in foreign emerging market countries that may have relatively unstable governments, weaker economies, and less-developed legal systems, which do not protect investors. In general, the price of a fixed income security falls when interest rates rise. Any strategy that includes inverse securities could cause the Fund to suffer significant losses. Underlying Fund investments in lower quality bonds, known as high-yield or junk bonds, present greater risk than bonds of higher quality. Municipal securities are subject to the risk that legislature changes and economic developments may adversely affect the value of the Fund?s investments. REIT risks include declines from deteriorating economic conditions, changes in property value, and defaults by borrower. Underlying Funds that own small and mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments. In some instances, it may be less expensive for an investor to invest in the Underlying Funds directly.

Trailing Stop Discipline

This proprietary Discipline has the objective of limiting the magnitude for portfolio drawdowns. The Discipline is based on a manual process that defines sell levels/signals for security holdings in decline, as measured by its price falling below the recent high of its lower band. These are not market orders. Ocean Park utilizes this Discipline directly in the management of non-affiliated holdings. Ocean Park invests in its affiliated Sierra Mutual Funds (?Funds?) and the Discipline is applied at the Underlying Funds level, not on the Funds themselves. Please see our Form ADV Part 2A for information on conflicts of interest that exist as a result of Ocean Park investing in affiliated Funds.

More Fixed Income News

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
