Why Fixed Income Alternatives?

Low developed government bond yields
Yields have declined for nearly 30 years providing a tail wind for bonds which may come to an
end

Many fixed income indices are heavily exposed to government bonds
With the US gross public debt ballooning to over $12 Trillion government backed debt now
represents more than 75%* of the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index

1.The above-posted illustration demonstrates a steady decline in coupon returns for the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index
and a structural drop in Treasury yields over the past 30 years. With the share of Treasuries in the Barclays Capital US Aggregate
Bond Index never falling below 20% over the past three decades and accounting for 34.0% of the index as of December 31, 2010,
we believe the index’s historical total return structure is partly correlated to the declining Treasury yields. Source: Barclays Capital.
2.The return components (i.e total return) accounts for two categories of fixed income return: income (i.e. coupon return) and price 6
return. Income includes interest paid by the fixed-income investments, whereas price return represents the change in the market
price of the fixed income security, which, depending on market conditions, can be negative. 1497-NLD-7/15/2011

The Bandon Isolated Alpha Fixed Income Fund total annual operating expense ratio (gross) is 2.16% for Investor Class, 2.41% for class A shares, 3.16% for the class C shares and 2.66% for the
class R shares The Fund's adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund, until at least January 31, 2012, to ensure that total annual fund operating
expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement will not exceed 1.95%, 2.20%, 2.95% and 2.45% of each class's net assets, respectively, for Investor Class, Class A, Class C and Class R shares.
Expense waivers and reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years on a rolling three year basis (within the three years after the fees have been waived or
reimbursed) if such recoupment can be achieved within the foregoing expense limits.

Results shown reflect the waiver, without which the results could have been lower. The performance data quoted
here represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data
quoted above. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth 11
more or less than their original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. A Fund's performance,
especially for very short periods of time, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decisions. To 1497-NLD-7/15/2011

Why Bandon Isolated Alpha Fixed Income?

Targets alternative return characteristics in a Mutual Fund format

Secular decline in U.S. interest rates may be over

Price changes can overwhelm passive coupon return with yields near historic lows

Potential for absolute returns regardless of interest rate environment

Seeks non-correlation to traditional and alternative markets

Seeks clean isolated alpha within both of the principal fixed income risk factors

We believe the interest rate strategies will provide returns completely uncorrelated
to the credit component, particularly during periods when credit is stressed /
widening

Important Disclosures

Mutual Funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal. Closed-end funds are subject to
investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. There is a risk that
issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities and other investments held by the
Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. The Fund's use of derivative instruments involves risks different
from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other
traditional investments. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, weaker
economies, and less-developed legal systems with fewer security holder rights. The value of the Fund's
investments in fixed income securities and derivatives will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Investments in foreign securities
could subject the Fund to greater risks including, currency fluctuation, economic conditions, and
different governmental and accounting standards. The Fund may invest in high yield securities, also
known as "junk bonds." High yield securities provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entail
greater risk of loss of principal. Using derivatives to increase the Fund's combined long and short
exposure creates leverage, which can magnify the Fund's potential for gain or loss. The default rate on
underlying mortgage loans or asset loans may be higher than anticipated, potentially reducing
payments to the Fund. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets
in the securities of one or more issuers. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the
price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and
the date on which the Fund purchases an offsetting position.

Definitions
S&P refers to the Standard and Poor's 500 Index which is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad
domestic equity market. This index is used for comparative purposes only.

Barclays Agg, BarCap refers to the Barclays Aggregate US Bond Index. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad based investment-grade, fixed rate,
taxable bond market. This index is used for comparative purposes only.

IEF is an Exchange Traded Fund that seeks results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Barclays Capital U.S. 7-
10 Year Treasury Bond Index.

TLT is an Exchange Traded Fund that seeks results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Barclays Capital U.S.
20+ Year Treasury Bond Index.

Alpha is a risk-adjusted measure of the active return on an investment. It is a measure of the manager’s contribution to performance. A positive annual Alpha indicates the
portfolio outperformed the market on a risk-adjusted basis, and a negative Alpha indicates the portfolio underperformed in relation to the market.

Beta describes how the expected return of a stock or portfolio is correlated to the return of the financial market as a whole. A Beta greater than 1.00 indicates the portfolio is
more volatile than the market, and a Beta less than 1.00 indicates the portfolio is less volatile than the market.

Duration is a measure of a bonds price sensitivity to yield. It can also be described as the percentage change in price for a parallel shift in yield.

Standard Deviation measures the degree of variation of monthly returns around the mean (average) return. The higher the volatility of the investment returns, the higher the
standard deviation will be.

Correlation: Measures how closely the investment tracks the market (the "market" can be defined as an index).

Absolute Return: The return that an asset achieves over a certain period of time. This measure looks at the appreciation or depreciation (expressed as a percentage) that
an asset - usually a stock or a mutual fund - achieves over a given period of time.

Directional Trading: strategy used by investors that open positions, either long or short, on the belief that they are able to correctly predict the movement of price in a
security.

Event Driven: Strategy where positions seek profits from the consummation of a given event (e.g. takeover, merger, etc).

Cap Structure: A strategy that attempts to exploit a pricing inefficiency between two securities of the same company.

Paris Trade: The strategy of matching a long position with a short position in two stocks of the same sector. This creates a hedge against the sector and the overall market
that the two stocks are in.

Opportunistic: A strategy that seeks to take advantage of short-term mispricing in securities.
