Based on total investment value as of 06/30/10. Portfolio holdings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy individual securities.

Concentrating in a small number of investments increases the Fund's risk because each investment has a greater effect on the Fund's performance.

All returns over 1 year are annualized. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future returns. The value of an investment in the Funds and the return on investment both will fluctuate and redemption proceeds may be higher or lower than an investor’s original cost. Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends. Total returns would have been lower had the Adviser, the Distributor, the Administrator, and Custodian not waived or reimbursed a portion of their fees. The performance of each class may vary based on differences in loads or fees paid by the shareholders investing in each class. For more performance numbers current to the most recent month-end please call 1-866-811-0225. Class N Shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or a CDSC.

Descartes is a fund of funds meaning it invests in underlying mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“Underlying Funds”). In some instances, it may be less expensive for an investor to invest in the Underlying Funds directly. There is also a risk that the investment advisors of those Underlying Funds may make investment decisions detrimental to the performance of the Fund or may be more volatile than investments in other mutual funds.

Objective

The objective of the Descartes Fund is long-term growth of capital without regard to current income.

 

Commentary

Liahona  had a total return of -7.75%, underperforming its 65% equity/35% bond benchmark, which generated a total return of -6.29%.

 

Liahona remains overweight growth securities, which are displaying very low risk characteristics relative to their long-term averages. The overweight position in growth and underperformance by global securities caused the fund to lag in the second quarter.  Country specific European investments were also added, focusing on more stable areas that could benefit from a falling Euro valuation.

 

The fixed income and risk reduction portion of the portfolio is overweight corporate bonds of both high and low quality.  Changes to the bond side of the portfolio are focused on lowering treasury bond exposure to lower interest rate risk.
