LoCorr Funds is pleased to announce the LoCorr Market Trend Fund (LOTAX, LOTCX, LOTIX), has surpassed the significant milestone of $1 billion in net assets this month, just 18 months after its launch on July 1, 2014. Based on total returns, the LoCorr Market Trend Fund (“the Fund”) Class I, ranked in the 6th percentile of 165 funds since its inception; and ranked in the 11th percentile of 179 funds during 2015 in Morningstar’s Managed Futures Category (“the category”) as of December 31, 2015. Furthermore, the Fund outperformed the universe of the managed futures category since its inception, with the Class I shares returning 16.63% on an annual basis over the approximate 18-month period from July 1, 2014, to December 31, 2015. This compares to an average annual return of 9.38% for the SG CTA Index, and a 5.62% average return of the category. The robust returns for the Fund also came at a challenging time for equities, with the S&P 500 Index rising only 2.37% during the time frame versus the 16.63% average return for the Market Trend Fund.

1-year performance for period ending 12/31/15: Market Trend Fund Class I, 5.96%; SG CTA Index, 0.03%, S&P 500 Index, 1.38%. Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Short-term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the Fund's future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 952.513.8195. Gross expense ratio: 3.45%.

“We are very pleased with how well the Market Trend Fund has been received in the marketplace,” said Kevin Kinzie, CEO of LoCorr Funds. “We believe one of the keys to the Fund’s success is in the education around the role that low-correlating strategies can have in a portfolio. This conviction has been critical in driving our sales, particularly with our larger broker/dealer partners.”

LoCorr’s experienced sales teams, consisting of regionally based wholesalers and their internal partners, have been pivotal to the Fund’s success. Their dedication in delivering the firm’s message about the importance of portfolio diversification is something they believe in whole-heartedly.

The Market Trend Fund is sub-advised principally by Graham Capital Management, L.P., (“Graham Capital”), which manages more than $11 billion in assets and has more than 20 years’ experience managing systematic trend-following strategies. The strategy utilizes multiple trend-following models that trade a broad range of liquid, global markets, including interest rates, foreign exchange, stock indices and commodities. One of the key differentiating factors of the strategy is Graham Capital’s proprietary portfolio construction process, which seeks to build a more diverse portfolio with the goal of generating superior risk-adjusted returns. With no long or short bias, this strategy has the ability to perform well in both rising and falling markets.

“To hit this significant milestone so rapidly, is a testament to the strategy and our relationship with Graham Capital,” said Kinzie.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to an individual investment’s volatility than a diversified fund. The Fund invests in foreign investments and foreign currencies which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The Fund may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. Investing in commodities may subject the Fund to greater risks and volatility as commodity prices may be influenced by a variety of factors including unfavorable weather, environmental factors, and changes in government regulations. The Fund may invest in derivative securities, which derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset, index, interest rate or currency exchange rate. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, and, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative, suddenly can become illiquid. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms which can magnify the Fund’s potential for gains or losses through increased long and short position exposure. The Fund may access derivatives via a swap agreement. A risk of a swap agreement is the risk that the counterparty to the agreement will default on its obligation to pay the Fund. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in Asset Backed, Mortgage Backed, and Collateralized Mortgage Backed Securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. The LoCorr Market Trend Fund is new and has limited performance history.
