AlphaMark Fund (AMLCX)
The AlphaMark Fund invests in primarily in a portfolio of exchange traded funds (“Underlying ETFs”) and individual equity securities that are a direct or indirect investment in large cap companies represented in the S&P 500 Index. “Large cap” companies are defined as companies with a total market capitalization of $5 billion or more at the time of purchase. Underlying ETFs primarily track the individual sectors represented in the S&P 500 Index. The Advisor seeks to invest in Underlying ETFs or individual equity securities that it believes represent the best risk-adjusted investment options. ETFs offer diversification and, therefore, reduce the inherent volatility of individual stock selections. The Fund may also invest directly in common stock, securities issued by foreign companies that are listed on a U.S. exchange, including sponsored American depositary receipts (“ADRs’), options on individual stocks, ETFs on an index during times of volatility while waiting for stock prices to become more reasonable and to generate income on stock positions that the Advisor believes are becoming overvalued.
The Advisor continually monitors global market conditions and the valuation of specific styles to determine the allocations of the holdings in the Fund utilizing valuation metrics, such as price to earnings ratios, price to sales ratios, and price to book ratios of companies in various sectors relative to historic trends, as well as the relative performance of such sectors, to determine whether a sector is overvalued or undervalued. When the advisor determines that a particular sector or other segment of the equity market is exhibiting conditions of becoming overvalued, the Advisor may reduce the allocation in the sector and conversely increase the allocation in other sectors that exhibit a more compelling value proposition.
Individual stocks may be sold for the following reasons; a material change in the company’s structure of management; a material change in the industry, sector, or economic factors affecting that industry; a position has double in weight; analysts’ estimates of future earning of the company have decreased by more than 5%; the price has become overvalues by 20% of more based on the Advisor’s proprietary cash flow models; or to take advantage of price swings caused by market volatility or events due to the foregoing circumstances.

Important Risk Considerations
The Fund invests primarily in ETFs and the stock market. ETFs are subject to investment advisory fees and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund resulting in your cost of investing in the Fund to be higher than investing directly in the same ETFs yourself. Each ETF is subject to specific risks. The stock market risk includes the return on and value of an investment will fluctuate in response to stock market movements and stocks are subject to market risks such as rapid increase or decrease in a stock’s value or liquidity along with other factors beyond the control of the Advisor. Large capitalization companies may be unable to respond as quickly as smaller companies to new competition challenges and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities involve risks that may be different from those of U.S. securities. Foreign securities may not be subject to uniform audit and financial reporting and disclosure standards. In addition, the Fund’s foreign investments may be subject to adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, and nationalization of companies or industries. For additional information on these and other risks, please read the current prospectus.

The P/E ratio is calculated by dividing a stock’s current price by its current earnings per share. A high multiple means that investors are optimistic about futire growth and have bid up the stock’s price.
Price/Sales Ratio: Price to sales is calculated by dividing a stock’s currrent price by its projected revenue per share for the currnet fiscal year. A smaller multiple (less than 1.0) means that investors are paying less for each unit of sales.
