Lifetime
Achievement Fund (LFTAX) is a public fund of funds that invests in a broadly
diversified mix of U.S. and foreign equity mutual funds assembled to maximize
the total real return of each shareholder's investment over the long-term. The Fund also maintains an allocation to gold-mining mutual funds to
protect against inflationary monetary policies and geopolitical instability.
Most
investors understand the importance of globally diversifying the equity portion
of their portfolio but may feel uncomfortable about making specific allocation
decisions themselves. The Fund may
serve as the core equity holding by offering investors broad diversification
across equity asset classes with the ease of investing in a single mutual
fund.
The Fund may
be appropriate for you if you have a long-term time horizon with the goal to
maintain and increase the purchasing power of your investment with a
diversified portfolio of equity mutual funds; desire protection against the
fall of the dollar by owning a gold hedge position; and are willing to accept
the volatility associated with domestic and foreign stock market
investments.
An
investment in the Lifetime Achievement Fund is subject to certain risks
including the risks of investing in a varied portfolio of other investment
companies (e.g., additional costs and expenses, no control over the portfolio
managers of the underlying funds, etc.), the risks of investing in closed-end
mutual funds which typically trade at a discount to net asset value, and the
risks of foreign investing, which carries a number of economic, financial, and
political considerations that are associated with investing in U.S. markets.
It is
important to note that the principal value of a mutual fund investment will
change over time and the amount received at redemption may be worth more or
less than the amount originally invested.
