How to Invest

Barclays Global Agg Bond Index: Measures global investment grade debt from
twenty four local currency markets. This multi-currency benchmark includes
treasury, government-related, corporate and securitized fixed-rate bonds from
both developed and emerging markets issuers.

Beta: Beta is a measure of the volatility or systematic risk of a security
compared to the market as a whole.

Correlation: A statistical measure of the degree to which two securities move in
relation to each other. Correlations are computed as the correlation
coefficient, which has a value that must fall between -1.0 and +1.0.

Down Capture: A statistical measure of an investment manager's overall
performance in down-markets. The ratio is calculated by dividing the manager's
returns by the returns of the index during the down-market and multiplying that
factor by 100.

Long-only Broad Basket Commodities: Long only strategy that tracks the price of
goods including but not limited to grains, minerals, metals, livestock, cotton,
oils, sugar, coffee and cocoa.

Long-short equity: An investment strategy generally associated with hedge funds.
It involves buying equities that are expected to increase in value and selling
short equities that are expected to decrease in value.

Macro Trading: Trades a broad range of securities based on a combination of
macroeconomic indicators and fundamental data for security selection.

Managed Futures: Portfolios made up of actively managed futures contracts
designed to provide portfolio diversification. Funds trade long/short and
provide exposure to traditional and non-traditional asset classes.

MSCI All World Index: Represents performance of the full opportunity set of
large- and mid-cap stocks across 23 developed and 26 emerging markets.

Multi-strategy: Funds that use a combination of alternative strategies such as
taking long and short positions in equity and debt, trading futures, or using
convertible arbitrage, among others.

Standard & Poor’s 500 Total Return Index: A weighted index consisting of the 500
stocks in the S&P 500 Index, which are chosen by Standard & Poor’s based on
industry representation, liquidity, and stability. The stocks in the S&P 500
Index are not the 500 largest companies, rather the index is designed to capture
the returns of many different sectors of the U.S., economy. The Total Return
calculation includes the price-plus-gross cash dividend return. Investors cannot
directly invest in an index and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees,
expenses or sales charges.

Standard Deviation: A statistic measure of the dispersion of a dataset relative
to its mean and is calculated as the square root of the variance. The standard
deviation is calculated as the square root of variance by determining each data
point's deviation relative to the mean.

Up Capture: A statistical measure of an investment manager's overall performance
in up-markets. The ratio is calculated by dividing the manager's returns by the
returns of the index during the up-market and multiplying that factor by 100.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges
and expenses of the Grant Park Funds. This and other important information about
the Fund is contained in the Prospectus, which can be obtained by calling
855.501.4758. The Prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

The Grant Park Mutual Funds are distributed by Northern Lights Distributors, LLC
member FINRA/ SIPC. Dearborn Capital Management, LLC is not affiliated with
Northern Lights Distributors, LLC.

Mutual Funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal.

Investing in the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility
than investments in traditional securities. There is a risk that issuers and
counterparties will not make payments on securities and other investments held
by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. Derivative instruments involve
risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with
investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. There could
be an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the
instruments held by the Fund and the price of the forward or futures contract or
the fund may have to sell at a disadvantageous time.  The success of hedging
strategies depends on the advisor’s or sub-advisor’s ability to correctly assess
the correlation between the instrument and portfolio being hedged and may result
in loss.

In general, the price of a fixed income and U.S Government securities security
falls when interest rates rise. Currency trading risks include market risk,
credit risk and country risk. Investments in foreign securities could subject
the Fund to greater risks including, currency fluctuation, economic conditions,
and different governmental and accounting standards.  Sovereign Debit
investments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or
refuse to pay interest or repay principal. Using derivatives to increase the
Fund’s combined long and short exposure creates leverage, which can magnify the
Fund’s potential for gain or loss. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC) has proposed changes to Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act which,
if adopted, could require the Fund and the Subsidiary to register with the CFTC.
Short positions may be considered speculative transactions and involve special
risks, including greater reliance on the advisor’s ability to accurately
anticipate the future value of a security or instrument.

Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which
will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the
Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund.
By investing in commodities indirectly through the Subsidiary, the Fund will
obtain exposure to the commodities markets within the federal tax requirements
that apply to the Fund, which may be tax at less favorable rates than capital
gains. The Subsidiary will not be registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (“1940 Act”) and, unless otherwise noted in the Prospectus, will not be
subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. 

Certain Fund investments may be difficult to purchase or sell, preventing the
Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. 
Swap agreements are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will
default on its obligation to pay the fund and the risk that the fund will not be
able to meet its obligations to pay the counterparty to the swap.  The fund may
have investments that appreciate or depreciate significantly in value over sort
periods of time, causing the fund’s value per share to increase or decline in
over short periods of time.  4404-NLD-6/29/2016
