"The new share class gives more investors the opportunity to take advantage of the Select Alternative Fund's active management strategy, which anticipates and responds to emerging trends in fixed income and equity securities," said Mary Collins, Managing Member of Hundredfold Advisors, LLC. "Financial advisors are increasingly allocating to liquid alternative mutual funds that offer the benefits of hedge funds in an accessible format. The Select Alternative Fund is well-positioned to meet that demand."
The success of Hundredfold's approach is highlighted by the Select Alternative Fund's receipt of a 5-Star Overall Rating from Morningstar as of September 30, 2012. The Fund ranked No. 1 in both three- and five-year total return in the Multi-Alternative category. There were 118 and 40 funds in the category for the three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
Hundredfold Advisors, which has acted as sub-advisor to the HUNDREDFOLD Select Funds since their inception in 2004, employs a wide range of alternative, technical and defensive investment strategies in the management of their family of funds. The Select Alternative Fund seeks a moderate rate of total return (income plus capital appreciation) annually in part by identifying, quantifying and controlling elements of risk as an integral part of the investment strategy.
"In difficult markets, an active approach to investing allows for greater levels of flexibility than traditional buy-and-hold strategies," said Ralph Doudera, Portfolio Manager at Hundredfold Advisors. "Our approach gives us the ability to respond to emerging trends and better control for risk, while providing low correlation to the overall markets and daily liquidity."

Morningstar© Proprietary Ratings: For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each 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. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted-average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.
