"Reaching this milestone is an important initial step and we look forward to the continued success of our flagship mutual fund product."

RCTIX has maintained a 5-star overall Morningstar rating and, since inception in 2014, the fund has consistently outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Performance reflects net of fee performance after contractual fee waivers in effect. If fee waivers were not in place, performance would be reduced. 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. The fund's current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investors may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, within 7 business days, by calling 800-245-0371 or 312-557-0164.

"Given today's market environment, investors are gravitating to structured credit strategies because they have the potential to offer attractive risk adjusted returns as well as diversification to traditional fixed income allocations," said Mr. Jikovski.

The Morningstar Ratingtm for funds, or "star rating," is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. The Morningstar Ratingtm is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.
