Important Risk Information

The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the equity securities in which it invests. Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

With respect to the Funds that seek to track an index, the Fund’s portfolio will not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the applicable index because securities in which the Funds invests will not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the Donoghue Forlines Momentum Fund, Donoghue Forlines Dividend Fund, Donoghue Forlines Dividend Mid-Cap Fund or Donoghue Forlines Floating Rate Fund because the total returns generated by the securities will be reduced by transaction costs incurred in adjusting the actual balance of the securities.

Mutual Funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal. Derivative instruments involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. If the Funds invests in fixed income securities, the value of the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Defaults by fixed income issuers in which the Fund invests will also harm performance. Hedging strategies may not perform as anticipated by the adviser and the Fund could suffer losses on the hedging vehicle while also suffering losses on the junk or U.S. Treasury bonds that were intended to benefit from the hedge. Donoghue Forlines Tactical Income Fund, Donoghue Forlines Tactical Allocation Fund, and Donoghue Forlines Floating Rate Fund may invest in high yield securities, also known as “junk bonds.” High yield securities provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entail greater risk of loss of principal. ETF’s are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the underlying strategy of the fund. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, as well as risks associated with fixed income securities, real estate investments, and commodities, to name a few. A higher portfolio turnover will result in higher transactional and brokerage costs.

Investing in the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investment exposure to traditional securities.

Investing in emerging markets involves not only the risks described below with respect to investing in foreign securities, but also other risks, including exposure to economic structures that are generally less diverse and mature, and to political systems that can be expected to have less stability, than those of developed countries.

ETNs are obligations of the issuer of the ETN, are subject to credit risk, and the value of the ETN may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit rating, despite the underlying market benchmark or strategy remaining unchanged.

Equity Risk

The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the equity securities in which it invests. Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

Common Stock

Common stock represents an equity (ownership) interest in a company, and usually possesses voting rights and earns dividends. Dividends on common stock are not fixed but are declared at the discretion of the issuer. Common stock generally represents the riskiest investment in a company. In addition, common stock generally has the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential because increases and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a company’s stock price. The fundamental risk of investing in common and preferred stock is the risk that the value of the stock might decrease. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of an individual company or in response to general market and/or economic conditions. Historically, common stocks have provided greater long-term returns and have entailed greater short-term risks than preferred stocks, fixed-income securities and money market investments. The market value of all securities, including common and preferred stocks, is based upon the market’s perception of value and not necessarily the book value of an issuer or other objective measures of a company’s worth.

ETF Risk

ETFs are subject to investment advisory fees and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in ETFs and may be higher than other Fund that invest directly in equity and fixed income securities. Each ETF is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the fund. ETF shares may trade at a discount to or a premium above net asset value if there is a limited market in such shares. ETFs are also subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund.

Foreign Securities Risk

Because the Fund’s investments may include exposure to foreign securities, the Fund is subject to risks beyond those associated with investing in domestic securities. Foreign companies are generally not subject to the same regulatory requirements of U.S. companies thereby resulting in less publicly available information about these companies. In addition, foreign accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards generally differ from those applicable to U.S. companies.
