Eventide Core Bond Fd USD Class C (ETCRX) Exchange: NMFQS

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective through investments in income producing securities issued by entities deemed by the Adviser to have a positive impact on the world. Income producing securities that the Fund may invest in include, but are not limited to, corporate bonds; preferred stocks, convertible debt and other hybrid securities that have debt and equity characteristics but are predominantly debt in nature; agency and non-agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities; asset-backed securities (including auto loans and leases, equipment loans and leases, and credit cards); green bonds (i.e., bonds that allow issuers to use proceeds for environmental projects); social bonds (i.e., bonds that allow issuers to use proceeds for social projects); sustainable bonds (i.e., bonds that are a combination of green and social bonds); government agency debt instruments; and municipal bonds (collectively, “Bonds”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in Bonds.  The Fund may invest in Bonds of any maturity and, under normal market conditions, the Bonds held by the Fund are expected to have a weighted average duration between three years and nine years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. A longer duration typically corresponds with increased volatility and risk because the longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. For example, if a bond has a duration of five years, a 1% rise in interest rates would result in approximately a 5% decline in the bond’s price. If a bond has a duration of ten years, a 1% rise in interest rates would result in approximately a 10% decline in the bond’s price. The Fund expects to invest predominantly in investment grade securities. With respect to both fixed income and equity securities, the Fund may invest in the securities of foreign entities (including emerging markets) and may invest in companies of any market capitalization.  The Adviser analyzes all potential investments for the company’s ability to operate with integrity and create value for customers, employees, and other stakeholders by reflecting the values listed below. Eventide uses its values-based screening processes to establish the Fund’s eligible investment universe. Securities are generally ineligible for purchase within the Fund unless Eventide’s research indicates that the values-based screens are met. For the avoidance of doubt, Eventide’s screening process for potential investments does not apply relative weights between values-based factors and financial factors. While few companies may reach these ideals in every area of their business, these principles articulate the Adviser’s highest expectations for corporate behavior. There is no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to successfully screen out all companies that are inconsistent with the following principles. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies that reflect the following values:  • Respecting the value and freedom of all people; this includes the right to life at all stages and freedom from addictive behaviors caused by gambling, pornography, tobacco and alcohol.  • Demonstrating a concern for justice and peace through fair and ethical relationships with customers, suppliers and business partners and through avoidance of products and services that promote weapons production and proliferation.  • Promoting family and community; this includes protecting children from violent forms of entertainment and also includes serving low income communities.  • Exhibiting responsible management practices, including fair-dealing with employees, communities, competitors, suppliers and customers as demonstrated by a company’s record regarding litigation, regulatory actions against the company and its record of promoting products and services that improve the lives of people.  • Practicing environmental stewardship; this includes practices considered more sustainable than those of industry peers, reduction in environmental impact when compared to previous periods, and/or the use of more efficient and cleaner energy sources.  Consistent with the Adviser's values, the Fund may invest in securities that fund community development institutions and serve needs such as those of low-to-moderate income families and communities.  Investments that meet the Adviser’s values criteria are analyzed by the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, Boyd Watterson Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) for possible inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio. The Sub-Adviser builds the Fund’s portfolio based on macroeconomic trends and forecasts in economic growth, inflation expectations, and monetary policy. The Sub-Adviser strives to generate excess return through sector allocation (adjusting allocations across major sectors of the bond market based on assessments of fundamentals and current versus historical valuation relationships), duration management (holding securities to optimize interest rates), yield curve positioning (adjusting holdings to capitalize on expected changes in the Treasury yield curve), and security selection. The ability of the Sub-Adviser to deliver returns varies according to the economic and market environment. The Sub-Adviser’s methods are intended to accumulate value over a full market cycle.  Securities may be sold when the Sub-Adviser believes that they no longer represent attractive investment opportunities or when the Adviser believes the underlying company’s practices are no longer consistent with the Adviser’s principles.
