The Trust is newly organized and has limited operating history.  An investment in the Trust should be considered a speculative investment that entails substantial risks.  Shareholders may lose capital including the possible loss of principal and the Trust may fail to effectively achieve its investment objective, including as a result of the credit risks inherent in the Trust's investments. The Shares will not be listed on any securities exchange and will be illiquid.  Although the Trust will operate as an "interval fund" by making repurchase offers to its shareholders on a quarterly basis, no assurance can be given that shareholders will be able to sell all of their Shares tendered to the Trust pursuant to any particular repurchase offer or that any particular Shares tendered will be accepted in such repurchase offer. Therefore, you should not expect to be able to sell your Shares at any particular time, regardless of how the Trust performs.  The Trust is classified as "non-diversified".  As a result, the Trust's investment portfolio may be subject to greater risk and volatility than if its investments were made in the securities of a broad range of issuers.

The Trust will invest substantially all of its assets in a portfolio of unrated or below-investment-grade-rated (commonly referred to as "junk" or high yield/high risk) loans and debt instruments with maturities of generally not more than three years.  The Trust's investment policies will include investments in any combination of the following securities: (i) asset-backed securities; (ii) senior secured or unsecured loans or debt ("Senior Loans"); (iii) second lien or other subordinated, secured or unsecured loans or debt ("Second Lien or Subordinated Loans"); (iv) dividend yielding preferred securities; and (v) other securities described herein.  High yield, commonly referred to as "junk" or high risk loans and debt instruments, offer the potential for higher returns, but also involve greater risk of default and are more volatile than investment grade securities.  There can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral securing any Fixed Income Securities would satisfy the debtor's obligation in the event of nonpayment of interest, dividends or principal, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated if at all.

The Trust will not pay the Advisor a management fee. Instead, the Trust will pay the Advisor an advisory fee that compensates the Advisor after shareholders receive the first 8.00% of annual Pre-Advisory Fee Net Investment Income (the "Hurdle"). The Advisor will receive no compensation until after the Hurdle is passed. For Pre-Advisory Fee Net Investment Income above 8.00% and up to and including 18.00%, the Advisory Fee will provide the Advisor with 80% of such income, while shareholders receive 20%. For Pre-Advisory Fee Net Investment Income above 18.00%, the Advisory Fee will provide the Advisor with 20% of such income, while shareholders receive 80%.

Forefront Income Trust's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing.  The prospectus contains this and other important information about Forefront Income Trust, and may be obtained by calling 1-844-438-3489, or visiting www.forefrontincometrust.com.  Read it carefully before investing.  Forefront Income Trust is distributed by Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, Member FINRA/SIPC and managed by Forefront Capital Advisors, LLC. Forefront Capital Advisors, LLC and Northern Lights Distributors, LLC are not affiliated.
