Introduction to the GuidePath? Funds

Working with your advisor to decide how to allocate your assets is one of the most important decisions to make for your long-term portfolio health. An investor may benefit during both bull and bear markets by choosing some investments that maintain persistent market exposure, for upside capture, and other investments that seek to avoid downside market exposure, although asset allocation cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns. At AssetMark,Inc. (AssetMark) we offer asset allocation solutions designed to help you and your advisor construct portfolios suited to your individual goals. AssetMark selects and monitors institutional and boutique portfolio strategists to implement four distinct asset allocation approaches in addition to alternative investment strategies.

The GuidePath Fund family includes funds for each of the asset allocation approaches covering both capital appreciation and income mandates as well as other strategies. AssetMark is the advisor for the GuidePath Funds and makes asset allocation decisions using various factors, including asset allocation approaches developed by various research providers. To gain exposure to the asset classes underlying each asset allocation approach and strategy, GuidePath Funds may invest in:

1 GuideMark? Mutual Funds 2 Altegris Mutual Funds 3 Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) 4 Third Party Mutual Funds

The GuidePath Funds are funds of funds exclusively used in GPS Solutions, which are designed to provide a streamlined, diversified portfolio that can be matched to your individual investment objectives and risk tolerance.

On the following pages, we invite you to learn more about the GuidePath Funds.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Fund seeks to maximize total return, consisting of a combination of longterm capital appreciation and current income, while moderating risk and volatility in the portfolio.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

The Fund operates as a fund of funds, investing primarily in registered mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs), seeking to provide a strategic asset allocation approach, in an effort to capture broad capital market returns while seeking to balance the pursuit of maximum total return against the control of total risk in the portfolio. The Fund expects to maintain at least 90% of its allocation to equities and up to 10% in fixed income securities (both domestic and international). The portfolio managers leverage research on strategic asset allocation from various research providers that rely on fundamental and quantitative analysis in developing their long-term capital market expectations, the economic outlook, and assumptions regarding risks and returns. Broad asset class exposures are implemented using GuideMark Funds and exchange traded funds. Exposures to specific niche markets may be obtained through the use of third party funds. Current research providers include Callan Associates and New Frontier Advisors, who collectively are responsible for over $1.9 trillion in assets under management as of December 2013. These research providers may change at any time.

INVESTMENT ADVISOR

AssetMark (since inception) AssetMark offers a managed account program that delivers sophisticated fee-based investment management solutions for investment advisors and independent brokerdealers. AssetMark had over $21 billion in assets as of March 2014.
