Context Alternative Strategies Fund Added To Top Mutual Fund Platforms

BALA CYNWYD, Pa., July 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Context Asset Management announces that its inaugural alternative mutual fund, the Context Alternative Strategies Fund (CALTX), is now available for purchase on three leading mutual fund platforms—Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab & Co. and Pershing.

"At a time when many retail and institutional investors are seeking access to the strategies of highly knowledgeable hedge-fund managers, we are providing this exposure in a liquid and transparent investment vehicle," said Steve Kneeley, Chief Executive Officer of Context. "We are glad that these three respected mutual fund marketplaces recognize the attributes of our Fund, and we look forward to working with them to bring our absolute-return strategy to as many investors as possible."

Context Asset Management was established earlier this year by a team of alternative investment professionals with years of experience working for alternative and traditional asset management firms, large endowments and family offices. The team harnesses this collective expertise to identify emerging and established managers with exceptional talent and historically successful strategies, and create single- and multi-manager mutual funds that deliver those strategies to advisors and their clients.

The Fund is a multi-manager and multi-strategy product seeking to generate capital appreciation, while emphasizing a low correlation to the broader U.S. bond and equity markets. Context selects and supervises multiple Subadvisers utilizing a variety of investment strategies, and determines the percentage of assets allocated to each manager.

"We continue to deliver innovative products that seek to combine the low volatility and low correlation of hedge funds with the liquidity and transparency of mutual funds," said John Culbertson, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of Context. "As demand for alternative mutual funds continues to grow, our Fund's inclusion on some of the major mutual fund platforms enables us to help a wide array of investors utilize this type of product while striving to meet their financial goals."

Important information:
Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained by calling 1-855-612-2257. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

An investment in the Fund is subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal amount invested. Other risks are detailed in the prospectus and include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Investments in futures contracts involve additional costs, may be more volatile than other investments and may involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed. The primary credit risk on futures contracts is the creditworthiness of the exchange itself. Futures are also subject to market risk, interest rate risk (in the case of futures contracts relating to income producing securities) and index tracking risk (in the case of stock index futures).
• The Fund may use derivatives (including futures, options and swap agreements) to enhance returns or hedge against market declines. The Fund's derivative investments have risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of such instruments and the underlying assets of the Fund, which creates the possibility that the loss on such instruments may be greater than the gain in the value in the Fund, the possible default of the other party to the transaction; and the illiquidity of the derivative investments.
• Investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) subjects the Fund to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities or other property held by the ETFs.
• Foreign investments may be subject to the same risks as domestic investments and to additional risks which include international trade, currency fluctuation, and political, regulatory and diplomatic risks, which may affect their value. Foreign investments may also suffer from a lack of timely or reliable financial information.
• Emerging markets investments are subject to additional risks due to greater political and economic uncertainties as well as a relative lack of information about companies in such markets.
• The Fund is "non-diversified," investing in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. A decline in the value of or default by a single security may have a greater negative effect than a similar decline or default by a single security in a diversified portfolio.
• Utilizing private placements involves significant risks along with the opportunity for substantial losses and lack of liquidity.
• Short selling involves unlimited risk including the possibility that losses to the Fund may exceed the original amount it invested.
• Investments in small and medium capitalization companies may be less liquid and their securities' prices may fluctuate more than those of larger, more established companies.
• Technology investing includes the risk of short product cycles and rapid obsolescence of products and services.
• Newly organized Funds have no or minimal trading history, and there can be no assurance that active trading markets will be developed or maintained.
