PFDGX Investment Objective and Strategy

PFG Global Strategy 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 aggressive growth.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in shares of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (Underlying Funds), with each Underlying Fund investing primarily in global equity securities in order to obtain exposure to the global broad equity market, as defined by the MSCI All Country World Index. Under normal circumstances, the Adviser intends to invest at least 40% (or 30% if conditions are not favorable) of the Funds net assets plus any amounts of borrowing in securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Fund defines global equity securities as stocks of foreign entities and Underlying Funds that invest primarily in stocks of foreign entities. The Funds investments in the preceding securities are made without regard to country, style, or sector exposure. The Adviser may also invest a portion of the Funds assets in Underlying Funds that invest in fixed-income securities, liquid alternative/specialty securities, or cash equivalents.

The percentage of the Funds net assets allocated to equities, fixed-income securities, liquid alternative/specialty securities, and cash equivalents will vary. In selecting Underlying Funds to purchase or sell, on behalf of the Fund, the Adviser uses a proprietary investment analysis called Rational Analysis. The Advisers Rational Analysis investment approach relies on Fundamental Analysis, Technical Analysis, and Quantitative Studies in selecting positions. Technical Analysis: This method attempts to forecast future price movement by analyzing historical price patterns. Fundamental Analysis: This method is used to evaluate what a securitys intrinsic value should be by examining related economic, financial, and other qualitative and quantitative factors. The outcome of this analysis can then be compared to the securitys current value to determine if it is over or underpriced.

Quantitative Analysis: This method analyzes historical price patterns and relationships between securities in an effort to create an optimal portfolio, which is the highest level of expected return for each level of risk. Rather than using one of the above methods exclusively, the Adviser seeks to integrate the optimal elements of each method into a Rational decision-making model. In addition, in managing the Funds level of investment risk, the Adviser utilizes RiskPro, a software technology developed by ProTools, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser. Based on proprietary algorithms, RiskPro provides an estimate of the maximum range of gain or loss of a portfolio of securities, over a forward-looking rolling twelve-month period. The higher the RiskPro estimate, the greater the level of volatility that the Fund may experience over a twelve-month period.

As a result, investors may select investments that are designed to be aligned with their level of comfort with investment risk. RiskPros algorithms take into account, among other factors, the volatility of the portfolio over the prior twelve months; a comparison of the portfolios volatility over the prior twelve-month period to the volatility of the S&P 500 Index; and the long-term volatility of the S&P 500 Index. For this Fund, there is no limit on the Fund's maximum annual volatility. That is, as estimated by RiskPro, the Funds total return, over a twelve-month period, can exceed a loss or gain of more than 30%. The Fund is designed for investors that are willing to endure an amount of investment risk comparable to, or greater than, the volatility of the S&P 500, as the Funds returns can range from a loss in excess of 30% to a gain in excess of 30%.

Depending on market conditions, the Funds potential gain or loss, as estimated by RiskPro, may be below 30% from time to time. The Adviser takes a strategic approach to investing, and under normal market circumstances, does not intend to adjust the Funds investments and/or asset allocation, in any substantial manner, in response to changes in the market.
