13 Do your investments reflect your values? We believe they should. Sunset Reflection Fund The Sunset Reflection Fund is an actively managed mutual fund that follows a sustainable investing approach combining rigorous analysis with equally rigorous environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis in order to identify investments. Consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of the investment company carefully before investing; the prospectus contains this and other information about the investment company; call your financial advisor or visit to obtain a prospectus. Read it carefully before investing. Risk Information: The market price of equity securities may fluctuate significantly, rapidly and unpredictably, causing the Fund to experience losses. The prices of equity securities generally are more volatile than the prices of debt securities. Market Risk Conditions in a broad or specialized market, a sector thereof or an individual industry may adversely affect security prices, thereby reducing the value of the Fund s investments. To the extent the Fund takes significant positions in one or more specific sectors, countries or regions, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with such sector(s), country(ies) or region(s) to a greater extent than would be a more broadly diversified fund. Companies that issue value securities may have experienced adverse business developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused their securities to be out of favor. The Fund may invest in companies that may not be expected to experience significant earnings growth, but whose securities the investment adviser believes are selling at a price lower than their true value. Companies that issue value securities may have experienced adverse business developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused their securities to be out of favor. If the investment adviser s assessment of a company s prospects is wrong, or if the market does not recognize the value of the company, the price of its securities may decline or may not approach the value that the investment adviser anticipates. The Fund is actively managed. The investment techniques and decisions of the investment adviser and the Fund s portfolio manager(s) may not produce the desired results. As with all mutual funds, investors may lose money by investing in the Fund. Sunset Distributors, LLC Member FINRA & SIPC Sunset Distributors LLC. All rights reserved.

19 We take the road less traveled. The road to passive investing is getting so crowded that passive investing is becoming less efficient. While we do not dismiss the notion of passive investing, we strongly recommend allocating a portion of your clients portfolios to products that utilize alternative strategies. The Risk Mitigation Strategy Fund is an actively managed fund that uses a long-term strategy designed to take advantage of pricing inefficiencies in the S&P VIX Short-Term Futures Inverse Daily Index (the VIX ). The Fund s strategy provided investors with performance that delivered an average FOUR TIMES the average annual return of the S&P 500 from 2008 through December 31, With this long-term record of outperformance, the Risk Mitigation Strategy Fund should be a part of your clients portfolios. As disciples of diversification, we believe that no one product should dominate an investor s portfolio. But we also believe that diversification should include alternatives to the traditional stocks and bonds. Carefully read before investing the prospectus, which contains important information regarding the Fund s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses. Call for the prospectus. Alternative Fund Distributors LLC. Member FINRA SIPC Disclosures: As with all mutual funds, an investment in the Fund entails risk, including the possibility of a loss of principal. Stocks may fluctuate and bond prices may fall if interest rates rise.
20 Additional Information Filing information: Print advertisement filed April 18, Intended date of first use May 18, Fund information: Inception date: July 1, Investment objective: The Fund seeks capital appreciation and income. Investment strategy: o The Fund will invest in options linked to stock market volatility using a proprietary strategy. o The Fund is expected to have an inverse correlation to the S&P 500 Short Term Futures Inverse Daily Index (VIX). When the VIX is flat or declining, the Fund is expected to have positive returns; When the VIX is increasing, the Fund is expected to have negative returns. o Generally, purchased options are sold to adjust portfolio exposure or when the adviser believes the risk inherent in the investment is greater than the potential reward or when more attractive investments are available. Risks: o The Fund is new and has no operating history. o The Fund is non-diversified and, as such, may be more susceptible to more volatility than a diversified fund. o Risks associated with the use of options and leverage, etc. Fund performance: o Year-to-date: %. o Since inception: %.

25 Advertising Review Workshop Answers for the Hands-on Sample Communications
26 Communication #1: Magazine Print Advertisement Main concerns: Disclosures: The disclosures appear in a dense and lengthy footnote that may inhibit an investor s understanding of the advertisement and the product being discussed.
27 Communication #2: Social Media Main Concerns: Exaggerated, unwarranted, promissory or misleading claims: Reference and implication that a registered person can Protect and Grow an investor s assets is exaggerated, unwarranted and promissory in that the statement does not reflect the inherent risks and uncertainty of investing. Claim that Diversification can help protect you during market downswings... [emphasis added]is unwarranted and misleading. Procedural concerns: Personal social media Chirper page contains business as such of the broker/dealer, Charles Dickens Financial Services LLC. o Concerns include: Supervision Record keeping Adoption and Entanglement issues: By linking to two specific articles, the broker/dealer has adopted the content of the articles. o Supervision o Recordkeeping Linking to or does not constitute adoption or entanglement as both sites are independent of the broker/dealer. Further, these sites are continually updated and may include information that could be detrimental to the broker/dealer, which has no authority, ability or control to add or remove any content.
28 Communication #3: Newspaper Advertisement Main Concerns: Omission of material information: While the performance chart is accurate through December 31, 2018, it should have been updated to reflect the significant effects of recent market volatility on the Index. No differentiation between the Index strategy and performance and the Fund. Fund s performance should have been disclosed. Risks of the strategy and an investment in the Fund are not disclosed. Mere generic risk disclosures are not sufficient. Footnote concerns: The placement of the risk disclosure at the foot of the advertisement beneath a generic disclaimer may inhibit an investor s understanding of the Fund as it appears to minimize the risks of the Fund and its strategy.
29 Communication #4: Banner Advertisement and Landing Page Main Concerns: Procedural concerns: Failed to file the banner ad and landing page with the Department in a timely manner within ten business days of first use. Failed to obtain registered principal approval prior to use with the public. Omission of material information: Fails to balance claims of You will not pay an annual account fee and No cost to transfer with prominent and proximate disclosure of what fees do apply when opening a new IRA account, maintaining such an account, or choosing an IRA rollover transaction. Fails to disclose that there are options other than an IRA rollover available to the investor and that the investor should carefully consider all options.
