GEFAX Investment Objective and Strategy
CMG Mauldin Core Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Northern Lights Fund Trust.
Investment objective
The Fund seeks capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund invests across various asset classes and sectors of the US, foreign and emerging markets equity and fixed income markets. The Funds principal investment objective is capital appreciation. The Funds adviser, CMG Capital Management Group (the Adviser), executes the Funds investment strategy. The Adviser evaluates market data and information from various research providers to invest the Funds assets creating a flexible tactical asset allocation portfolio. The Adviser focuses on securities of companies with favorable prospects for earnings growth and capital appreciation. For value investing, the Adviser considers fundamental analysis in determining whether or not the issuers securities are overvalued or undervalued in the Advisers opinion. In pursuing momentum-based investing, the Adviser seeks to take advantage of trends in market prices.
The Adviser seeks to achieve the Funds investment objective by investing in US, foreign and emerging markets equities of any capitalization during sustained equity market rallies and investing defensively in US Treasury securities and other fixed income securities during periods of weakness in equity markets. The fixed income securities in which the Fund invests are US government securities and investment grade and non-investment grade (junk bonds) US, foreign and emerging market corporate debt of any maturity. The Fund achieves its equity and fixed income market exposures principally through investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), open-end funds and closed-end funds (Underlying Funds). During periods of equity market weakness, the Fund may hold significant investments in US Treasury securities and money market funds.
While the Fund will normally hold a mix of both equity Underlying Funds and fixed income Underlying Funds, it is possible that the Fund, from time to time, may solely invest in either equity or fixed income Underlying Funds. To determine equity market strength and the allocation of the Funds assets between equities and fixed income, the Adviser analyzes and evaluates the research data and market reports of multiple research providers selected by the Adviser. These reports and data include tactical research that focuses on specific asset classes, sectors, investment styles and other market exposures.
