The Fund has adopted the performance of the James Alpha Structured Credit Value Portfolio, a series of The Saratoga Advantage Trust (the “Predecessor Portfolio”) as the result of a reorganization of the Predecessor Portfolio into the Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on March 19, 2021 (the “Reorganization”). The returns shown for periods ending on or prior to March 19, 2021 are those of the Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class S shares of the Predecessor Portfolio. Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class S shares of the Predecessor Portfolio were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class R6 shares of the Fund, respectively, after the close of business on March 19, 2021. Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class R6 shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from the returns of the Predecessor Portfolio as they have different expenses.
Returns greater than one year are annualized. Returns for the Fund’s first year are since fund inception. Calendar year returns do not reflect the maximum sales charge; otherwise, returns would vary.
