STRATEGY OVERVIEW

The Global Yield-Enhanced Dividend Portfolio attempts to provide capital appreciation, dividends and increased yield from selling covered call options. Holdings are selected from a global universe of ETFs and individual stocks. The fund eschews investments in sovereign and corporate debt due to global interest rate suppression and the lack of growth opportunities.

INVESTMENT PROCESS

The Investment Policy Committee convenes weekly where investment themes and strategies are presented and approved by Michael Pento (Committee Chairman). Performance reviews are then conducted on each asset class and individual investment. The Committee discusses the performance of all holdings and determines the investment's ability to maintain the dividend. Call writing opportunities are then evaluated.

Portfolio Selection Criteria

Country criteria selections are biased towards stability of government, strength of currency, low debt to GDP ratio, high relative growth rate and a current account surplus. Industry criteria is vetted from proprietary models created by Michael Pento for the purpose of determining specific industries that are positioned to prosper in specific macroeconomic environments. Individual securities are then selected within the favored industries that display the potential to raise their dividends. Equities selected should also have sufficient cash-flow coverage, good valuation and a strong balance sheets.

PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION

The PPS Global Yield-Enhanced Dividend Portfolio will hold ETFs, ADRs, and Individual Equities of both U.S. and International Corporations. The Portfolio will only invest in international investments that trade with the added benefits and liquidity of trading as American Depositary Receipts. Our options strategy seeks to take advantage of those holdings that offer higher beta and liquidity in order to maximize the yield-enhancing strategy associated with covered call writing.

PORTFOLIO REBALANCING AND TURNOVER

Changes to our portfolio are a dynamic process; there is no set schedule for rebalancing. Portfolio rebalancing occurs whenever the model and our investment committee dictate its necessity. PPS also focuses on technical price levels relative to their trading ranges and utilizes an active risk management strategy that seeks to lock in gains and limit losses.

PORTFOLIO AS OF June 30, 2018

PENTO PORTFOLIO STRATEGIES - INFLATION/DEFLATION DYNAMIC PORTFOLIO
Is an actively managed product that provides complete access to Michael Pento's 26 years' worth of industry experience, direct account supervision and proprietary investment model.

KEY BENEFITS:

• Adaptive, dynamic management of Michael's investment philosophy, along with that of his investment team.
• Investment Policy Committee specifically focused on strong dollar (deflation) / weaker dollar (inflation) correlations and how that paradigm interfaces with a uniquely identified universe of asset classes.
• Goal is to provide an improved hedge against inflation by factoring into the investment strategy cyclical periods of deflation.
• Attempts to provide inflation protection with lower beta than static portfolios that ignore changes in USD intrinsic valuations.

STRATEGY OVERVIEW

The Pento Portfolio Strategies' Model SMA attempts to provide an improved hedging strategy against inflation, while also offering protection against cyclical periods of deflation. We utilize top-down proprietary-macro analysis to position the portfolio in broad asset classes, depending on our view of prevailing inflationary and deflationary forces. We then use our technical database to select the best possible investments.

INVESTMENT PROCESS

The Investment Policy Committee convenes weekly where investment themes and strategies are presented and approved by Michael Pento (Committee Chairman). Performance reviews are then conducted on each asset class and individual investment.

Sample Model Components

PPS's proprietary investment model uses various metrics to determine the macroeconomic environment in relation to the inflation/deflation dynamic.

-Private and Public Sector Debt Levels
-ISM Data
-Shape of Yield Curve
-M/M Inflation Data and Breakeven Spreads
-HighYield/Treasury Spreads
-Money Supply Growth
-Commodity and Equity Prices
-Global C.B. Monetary Policies
-USD Strength/Weakness Against Major Trading Partners
-Direction of Real Interest Rates

Pento Portfolio Strategies Model uses a weighted approach regarding its stance on the US dollar's trend, as well as the direction of real interest rates. Based on this outlook we will assign weightings to inflation/deflation hedges. The investable universe includes domestic stocks, foreign stocks, commodity proxies, domestic and foreign bonds, currency hedges and short-market strategies; including options and inverse ETFs. PPS does not utilize margin.

PORTFOLIO REBALANCING AND TURNOVER

Portfolio rebalancing occurs whenever the model dictates it is necessary to move along the inflation/deflation spectrum and/or when the weightings have moved more than 5% outside of the recommended allocation. PPS also focuses on technical price levels relative to trading ranges and utilizes an active risk management strategy that seeks to lock in gains and limit losses.
