Mutual Fund Risks Please carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Altegris Equity Long Short Fund. This and other important information about a Fund is contained in the Fund s Prospectus and the Summary Prospectus, which can be obtained by calling (888) 524-9441. Read the prospectus carefully before investing. Funds are distributed by Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, member FINRA. Altegris Advisors and Northern Lights Distributors, LLC are not affiliated. MUTUAL FUNDS INVOLVE RISK INCLUDING POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL. Equity securities are subject to market risk and may decline in value due to adverse company, industry or general economic conditions. An investment in smaller or mid-capitalization companies may be subject to more volatility and less liquidity than larger, more established companies. Foreign investments may involve heightened risk due to currency fluctuations, economic and political instability, less liquidity, inefficient trading markets and differing auditing and legal standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The Fund will engage in short selling and short position derivative activities, which are considered speculative and involve significant financial risk. Short positions profit from a decline in price, so the Fund may incur a loss on a short position if the price increases. The potential loss on an uncovered short is unlimited. Shorting may also result in higher transaction costs, which reduce return. The use of derivatives such as futures and options involves risks different from those typically associated with investing directly in securities, including leverage risk and tracking risk. Long options may expire worthless. Although futures contracts are generally liquid, under certain market conditions there may not always be a liquid secondary market. The use of leverage by the Fund, such as borrowing money to purchase securities or the use of options will cause the Fund to incur additional expenses. Leverage can increase volatility and magnify gains or loss. A rise in interest rates will typically cause a decline in the value of fixed income securities, including preferred stock. Fixed income securities are also subject to credit risk and default risk. Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will fail to pay interest and principal when due. The credit, default and liquidity risks are heightened for lower-quality convertible and debt securities known as high yield or junk. The manager or sub-adviser s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation or depreciation of a particular security in which the Fund invests or sells short may prove to be inaccurate and may not produce the desired results. The Fund is non-diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and may invest more than 5% of total assets in the securities of one or more issuers. Performance may therefore be more sensitive to any single economic, business or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified fund. TRUSTED ALTERNATIVES. INTELLIGENT INVESTING. 9

Risks and Important Considerations Investing in equity securities involves market risk or the risk of loss due to adverse market conditions, industry news or a general economic decline. Short sales involve the sale of a borrowed security, with the expectation that the security will underperform the market. Short selling is considered leverage and positions in shorted securities are speculative and more risky than long positions. Leverage may magnify gains or losses. The use of long and short positions does not limit the exposure to market volatility and other risks. The risk of volatility may be heightened for alternative or complex investment strategies. There can be no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful.

Glossary Alpha. Measures the non-systematic return, that which cannot be attributed to the market. It shows the difference between a fund s actual return and its expected return, given its level of systematic (or market) risk (as measured by beta). A positive alpha indicates that the fund has performed better than its beta would predict. Alpha is widely viewed as a measure of the value added or lost by a fund manager. Beta. A measure of the relationship of a fund s movement relative to a benchmark, such as a market index. Beta is the correlation (a measure of the statistical relationship between fund and benchmark) multiplied by the magnitude of relative volatility of the fund to the benchmark. A fund with a beta of 1.2 relative to a benchmark, for example, is expected to move 12% when the benchmark moves 10%. When the fund is comprised of the same instruments as the benchmark, beta can be thought of as a measure of relative volatility. A low beta does not necessarily indicate that the fund has low volatility; rather, it may indicate that the fund s returns are not related to the movement of the market benchmark. Long. Buying an asset/security that gives partial ownership to the buyer of the position. Long positions profit from an increase in price. Sector. Group of businesses that share similar characteristics or a related product of service (e.g. energy, consumer, financials, technology). Short. Selling an asset/security that may have been borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying back at a later date. Short positions profit from a decline in price. If a short position increases in price, covering the short position at a higher price may result in a loss. TRUSTED ALTERNATIVES. INTELLIGENT INVESTING. 11
