THIS SUPPLEMENT PROVIDES NEW AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BEYOND THAT CONTAINED IN THE SAI AND SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SAI.  CAPITALIZED TERMS USED IN THIS SUPPLEMENT AND NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED SHALL HAVE THE MEANING GIVEN TO THEM IN THE SAI.

 

The following paragraph is added under the second paragraph under the heading “Turner Spectrum Fund” on page 7 of the SAI:

 

“The Adviser has established an Alternative Strategies Oversight Group which serves as the internal governance body that monitors the activities of each of the alternative strategies it manages. Members of the group include its Chief of Investment Strategies, Chief Operating Officer, and other senior members of the Adviser’s management team, who meet regularly to provide fiduciary oversight over the Fund.  The operational and investment oversight of the Fund includes evaluations of each underlying Investment Strategy, the review of investment returns, risk control policies and procedures, and the general characteristics of each strategy. In addition, the Group reviews relevant compliance, legal, tax, fund administration, marketing, and general business issues associated with the Fund and the underlying strategies.  The Alternative Strategies Oversight Group has authority to add or remove investment strategies in the Fund.”

 

****

 

Effective October 1, 2010, Turner Spectrum Fund is adding Titan as an Investment Strategy.

 

In accordance with this change, effective October 1, 2010, the following changes are made to the SAI.

 

The paragraph and table beneath the paragraph with the heading “Turner Spectrum Fund” on page 7 of the SAI is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“The Spectrum Fund invests its assets utilizing the following seven Investment Strategies: (1) Global Consumer; (2) Long/Short Equity; (3) Global Financial Services; (4) Global Medical Sciences; (5) Select Opportunities; (6) Market Neutral; and (7) Titan. The Adviser may add, remove or change an Investment Strategy at any time in its sole discretion. The Fund is not required to maintain allocations to each Investment Strategy in any proportion and the relative allocations will vary based upon the performance of each Investment Strategy or due to other circumstances including, without limitation, capacity and liquidity restraints. Cash flows due to investments and redemptions may be allocated among the Investment Strategies in any manner, as determined by the Adviser in its sole discretion. Although the weightings of each Investment Strategy will vary, it is the Adviser’s current intention to attempt to rebalance its investment portfolio annually as of each December 31st to approximately the following equal weightings:

 

Turner Global Consumer Strategy 14.3%

Turner Long/Short Equity Strategy 14.3%

Turner Global Financial Services Strategy 14.3%

Turner Global Medical Sciences Strategy 14.3%

Turner Select Opportunities Strategy 14.3%

Turner Market Neutral Strategy 14.3%

Turner Titan Strategy 14.3%

 


 

The following paragraph is added under the first full paragraph on page 9  of the SAI:

 

“The Titan Strategy invests in stocks of companies with primarily large capitalization ranges across all major industry sectors using a long/short strategy in seeking to capture alpha, reduce volatility, and preserve capital in declining markets.  Primarily, the Titan Strategy takes long positions in those equity securities that have been identified by the Adviser as undervalued and likely to increase in price, and short positions in those equity securities that have been identified by the Adviser as overvalued and likely to decrease in price.  The Titan Strategy’s holdings will be global and diversified.  The Titan Strategy typically holds between 20 and 60 securities long and between 20 and 60 securities short, with a typical long position size per holding and a typical short position size per holding between 0.5% to 5.0% of the Titan Strategy’s net assets, although there can be no assurance that will be the case.”
