The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating," is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weight is 100% for a three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns. © 2019 Morningstar. All rights reserved.

Morningstar rankings are based on a fund's average annual total return relative to the funds in the same category and includes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Ratings and rankings may have been lower without fee waivers in effect and are shown for Class I shares. Investor shares would be lower due to higher fees and expenses. The highest (or most favorable) percentile rank is 1 and the lowest (or least favorable) percentile rank is 100. The Fund was ranked 28 among 115 funds, 5 among 96 funds, and 33 among 66 funds for the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods, respectively.

The 361 Global Managed Futures Strategy Fund, Class I shares, received a Refinitiv 2019 Lipper Fund Award for the three-year time period among 84 funds in the Alternative Managed Futures Funds category. Lipper Awards are granted annually to the funds in each Lipper classification that achieve the highest score for Consistent Return, a measure of funds' historical risk-adjusted returns, measured in local currency, relative to peers. Winners are selected using the Lipper Leader rating for Consistent Return for funds with at least 36 months of performance history as of 12/31/18. Awards are presented for the highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return within each eligible classification over 3, 5 or 10 years.

The HFM US Hedge Fund Performance Awards celebrate those funds that have stood out in the competitive market over the past twelve months, honoring those that have outperformed their peers and demonstrated impressive growth last year. A panel of independent industry professionals appointed by HFMWeek selected the 361 Managed Futures Strategy Fund in the above-mentioned category based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative data, including annual performance, volatility, risk management and track record from July 2017 to June 2018.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Futures prices can be very volatile. The small margin required for futures contracts magnifies the effect of market volatility and allows the loss from a contract potentially to exceed the Fund's initial investment. With short contracts, the loss is theoretically unlimited since the appreciation of the underlying asset also is theoretically unlimited. Foreign investment entails additional risk from adverse changes in currency exchange rates, tax regulation, and potential market instability. Frequent trading by the Fund may reduce returns and increase the number of taxable transactions. Concentration of its portfolio in relatively few issuers may make the Fund more volatile than a diversified fund.

You should consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. For a prospectus, or summary prospectus, that contains this and other information about the Funds, call 1-888-736-1227. Please read the prospectus or summary prospectus carefully before investing.
