C000150165 Investment Objective and Strategy
ACM Dynamic Opportunity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Northern Lights Fund Trust III.
Investment objective
The ACM Dynamic Opportunity Fund (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation with a short-term focus on capital preservation.
Principal investment strategy
To pursue its investment objective, the Fund invests in domestic and foreign (including emerging markets) equity securities of any market capitalization. The Fund may also take long or short positions in index exchange traded funds (ETFs) to hedge the Funds equity portfolio. The Funds adviser, Ascendant Capital Management, LLC (the Adviser), selects equity securities for the Funds portfolio that are experiencing meaningful breakouts. A breakout is a significant movement that involves a combination of price and trading volume in a given security. The Adviser further screens these breakout candidates to ensure they meet certain fundamental and technical criteria as determined by the Adviser such as the earnings per share growth, revenue growth, and upward revisions of estimates and profitability of the issuers of the securities.
The Adviser will sell a security when it drops a certain percentage from its purchase price (stop-loss), or if the price drops below a key technical level (such as the 50 day moving price average for the security) in combination with a rise in trading volume. The Fund has no set holding period for any security and actively trades its portfolio investments, which may result in a high portfolio turnover rate. The Funds investment strategies for short positions can include: (1) selling short an ETF or other security that tracks a broad or narrow market index, in hopes of buying the security at a future date at a lower price; (2) selling short common stocks; (3) buying a put option on an ETF or other security that tracks a broad or narrow market index; (4) buying an ETF or other security that is designed to appreciate in value when the value of a broad or narrow market index declines; (5) selling a covered call option on a security that the Fund owns for the duration of the option period; and (6) holding a short position in an ETF or other security that tracks a broad or narrow market index and adding to the Funds long positions in particular stocks by a corresponding amount.
The use of short positions or hedges is designed to adjust the overall net exposure of the portfolio to limit the downside exposure of the portfolio to declines in the overall market. The net long exposure of the portfolio can fluctuate anywhere between 0% long and 100% long. A portfolios net exposure is the percentage of assets invested in long positions minus the percentage of assets invested in short positions (hedges). For example, if the portfolio is 50% invested in long positions while simultaneously being 50% invested in hedges, the net long exposure would equal zero percent. The Adviser monitors numerous broad market indexes and several key moving averages. Short positions will be will be taken off as select market indexes rise above certain moving averages as identified by the Adviser.
