MARKET UPDATES



Directly from Dexter Lyons, Portfolio Manager


UPDATE: 11/27/23



The Issachar Fund is all in (100% invested), expecting Santa to deliver more
profits for Christmas! The S&P 500 is up against stiff price resistance, but the
NASDAQ 100 has already penetrated its resistance peak. I expect some
back-and-fill action to consolidate recent gains before uptrends resume. After
the tame inflation (CPI/PPI) reports two weeks … Update: 11/27/23 Read More »

UPDATE: 11-20-23



The Issachar Fund is about 60% invested in growth stocks with accelerating
earnings and sales! After last week’s inflation reports (CPI & PPI), the market
believes the Fed is done raising rates to bring inflation down. Stocks and bonds
rallied higher, anticipating the Fed may achieve a soft landing and avoid a
recession. Except for … Update: 11-20-23 Read More »

Flexible & Opportunistic!     The Issachar Fund holds a high-yielding short-term
fixed-income ETF but is ready to invest in equities! Our macro gold and short

the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 index is now up ten of the last eleven days and due

in a Gold ETF, 1% each in a NASDAQ and S&P 500 Index short/inverse ETF, and 76%
in a high-yielding short-term fixed-income ETF! The indexes had an oversold
short-covering rally after the Fed did not raise rates following Wednesday’s
two-day meeting. … Update: 11-06-23 Read More »

Downtrends Continue!  The Issachar Fund holds about 9% in a short/inverse
Treasury Bond fund ETF, 8% in a Gold ETF, 1% each in a NASDAQ and S&P 500 Index
short/inverse ETF, and 81% in a high-yielding short-term fixed-income ETF! I

sustainable. Shorting or betting … Update: 10-30-23 Read More »

This Time is Different!    The Issachar Fund holds about 7% in an inverse
Treasury Bond fund ETF, 3% in a Gold ETF, and 90% in a high-yielding short-term
fixed-income ETF! I added to our inverse bond ETF because we were being
rewarded, and I believe yields may continue trending higher. Gold is in a …

Patience, Discipline & Risk Management!    The Issachar Fund still holds about
3% in an inverse bond fund ETF and 97% in a high-yielding short-term
fixed-income ETF! The NASDAQ and S&P 500 indexes are again trading below their
respective 50-day moving averages, indicating more investors are selling than
buying. Therefore, risk remains elevated as the … Update: 10-16-23 Read More »

Oversold Short Covering FTD Rally!    The Issachar Fund holds about 3% in an
inverse bond fund ETF and 97% in a high-yielding short-term fixed-income ETF! My
perception of risk is high as yields continue to climb. The oversold tech-heavy
NASDAQ index bounced off a line of support, rallying 1.6% on greater volume,

IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges
and expenses of the Issachar Fund. This and other important information about
the Fund are contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained by calling
1-866-787-8355 or going to the Documents page.  The prospectus should be read
carefully before investing. The Issachar Fund is distributed by Northern Lights
Distributors, LLC., member FINRA/SIPC

The Issachar Fund involves risks including the possible loss of principal, and
may not be suitable for all investors.

The Fund may engage in frequent trading, leading to increased portfolio
turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased net capital
gains, including net short-term capital gains that will be taxable to
shareholders as ordinary income when distributed.  The Fund may hold cash
positions and there is a risk that the sections of the market in which the Fund
invests will begin to rise or fall rapidly and the Fund will not be able to sell
stocks quickly enough to avoid losses, or reinvest its cash positions into areas
of the advancing market quickly enough to capture the initial returns of
changing market conditions.  The Fund’s investments in large capitalization
stocks may underperform Funds that invest primarily in the stocks of lower
quality, smaller capitalization companies during periods when the stocks of such
companies are in favor.  Investments in small-capitalization and
mid-capitalization companies involve greater risks and volatility than investing
in larger capitalization companies.  Small and medium-size companies often have
narrower markets for their goods and/or services and more limited managerial and
financial resources than larger, more established companies.

The Fund invests in debt instruments which have varying levels of sensitivity to
changes in interest rates, credit risk and other factors.  Many debt instruments
are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the
security will repay principal prior to the maturity date.  The Fund could lose
money if the issuer or guarantor of a debt security goes bankrupt or is unable
or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay principal.  Changes in an
issuer’s financial strength or credit rating also may affect a security’s value
and have an impact on Fund performance.  The value of the Fund’s investment in
fixed income securities will fall when interest rates rise and the effect of
increased interest rates is more pronounced for intermediate-term or longer-term
fixed income obligations owned by the Fund.  The Fund will invest a significant
portion of its assets in securities that are rated below investment grade or
“junk bonds.”  Junk bonds may be sensitive to economic changes, political
changes, or adverse developments specific to a company.  These securities
generally involve greater risk of default or price changes than other types of
fixed-income securities and the Fund’s performance may vary significantly as a
result.  The floating rate loans in which the Fund invests are usually rated
below investment grade and are generally considered speculative because they
present a greater risk of loss, including default, than higher quality debt
securities and may be less liquid than higher rated debt securities.

The value of the Fund’s asset-backed securities may be affected by changes in
interest rates, the availability of information concerning the interests in and
structure of the pools of purchase contracts, financing leases or sales
agreements that are represented by these securities, the creditworthiness of the
servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the
entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, or other
credit enhancements.  The Fund’s investment in municipal securities carries
additional risk including changes in federal, state or local laws that may make
a municipal issuer unable to make interest payments when due. Municipal
securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or
specific assets can be negatively affected by the inability to collect revenue,
for the project or from the assets. Moreover, an adverse interpretation of the
tax status of municipal securities may make such securities decline in value. 
In addition to the risks typically associated with fixed income securities, loan
participations carry other risks, including the risk of insolvency of the
lending bank or other intermediary.  Loan participations may be unsecured or not
fully collateralized, may be subject to restrictions on resale and sometimes
trade infrequently on the secondary market.

The Fund uses investment techniques, including investments in futures contracts,
forward contracts, options and swaps, which may be considered to be an
aggressive investment technique.  Investments in such derivatives may general be
subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time and
may increase the volatility of the Fund.  The use of derivatives may expose the
Fund to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it invested directly
in the securities underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk and
the risk that the derivatives may become illiquid.  The use of derivatives may
result in larger losses or smaller gains than investing in the underlying
securities directly.   Interest rate swaps are subject to interest rate and
credit risk.  Total return swaps are subject to counterparty risk, which relate
to credit risk of the counterparty and liquidity risk of the swaps themselves. 
There may be an imperfect correlation between the prices of options, futures,
and/or forward contract and movements in the price of the securities (or
indices) hedged or used for cover which may cause a given hedge not to achieve
its objective.  There may not be a liquid secondary market for futures contracts
and Forward currency transactions include the risks associated with fluctuations
in currency.   If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges
the market conditions incorrectly, the hedge might be unsuccessful, reduce the
Fund’s investment return, or create a loss.  Use of leverage can magnify the
effects of changes in the value of the Fund and makes them more volatile and
increases the risk for loss in adverse environments.  Short positions are
designed to profit from a decline in the price of particular securities, baskets
of securities or indices.  The Fund will lose value if the instrument’s price
rises – a result that is the opposite from traditional mutual funds.

Investments in foreign securities and securities that provide exposure to
foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities.
 As a result, the Fund’s returns and NAVs may be affected to a large degree by
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political, diplomatic or economic
conditions and regulatory requirements in other countries. The Fund also may
invest in depositary receipts, including ADRs, which are traded on exchanges and
provide an alternative to investing directly in foreign securities.  Investments
in ADRs are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in
foreign securities.  The laws and accounting, auditing, and financial reporting
standards in foreign countries typically are not as strict as they are in the
U.S., and there may be less public information available about foreign
companies.  Investments in emerging markets instruments involve greater risks
than investing in foreign instruments in general. Risks of investing in emerging
market countries include political or social upheaval, nationalization of
businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the
repatriation of assets and risks from an economy’s dependence on revenues from
particular commodities or industries among others.

No-Load mutual funds are sold without a sales charge, however other fees and
expenses do apply to an investment in the Fund.

Total annual fund operating expenses are 1.86% for Class N and 1.74% for Class
I. Total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense
reimbursement are 1.90% for Class N and 1.65% for Class I. The Fund’s adviser
has contractually agreed to waive management fees and make payments to limit
Fund expenses until February 1, 2023 so that total annual operating expenses do
not exceed 1.90% for Class N and 1.65% for Class.
