‡ Class A shares are subject to a maximum sales load of 3.5%. Class I shares have no sales load.
The total annual fund expense ratio, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements, is 2.78% for Class A shares and 2.15% for Class I shares.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown above. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns reflect the expense limitation and reimbursement, without which, the performance would have been lower. A Fund's performance, especially for short periods of time, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decision.
For the period from the Fund's inception through May 31, 2016, the returns and expenses of Class A shares reflect the performance of the prior feeder fund; and the returns of Class I shares reflect the performance of the Fund prior to its issuance of multiple share classes and reclassification of existing shares. From June 1, 2016 forward, the returns reflect performance of Class A and Class I shares, respectively, of the Altegris KKR Commitments Fund.

Fund distributions will vary depending upon market conditions and number of shares outstanding. Past distributions are no guarantee of future distributions or performance results.
This information is not intended to cover the complexities of a shareholder's individual tax situation. Because tax laws vary among states, you should consult your tax advisor about the specific rules in the state(s) in which you pay income taxes.
Record date is the date by which a shareholder must own fund shares to receive the distribution. Ex-date is the date on which a shareholder who purchases fund shares will not be eligible to receive the distribution. Payable date is the date on which a shareholder is paid the distribution.
1 While the portfolio composition that has been developed by Altegris Advisors (the Fund's investment adviser) and StepStone Group (the Fund's sub-adviser) reflects their assessment of the relative attractiveness of sub-sectors within the context of an appropriately diversified portfolio, given the percentage of assets that will be invested in securities issued by a single issuer (KKR), the Fund will be a non-diversified fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
A portion of the Fund's assets may be invested in private equity or Investment Funds which are not managed by or affiliated with KKR; however, this allocation is not anticipated to be material to the Fund's overall strategy.
Diversification does not ensure profit or protect against loss in a positive or declining market. There is no guarantee that any investment will achieve its objectives, generate profits, or avoid losses. There can be no assurance that all investment types will be available, will be consistent with the Fund's objective, will satisfy the Investment Adviser's due diligence considerations, or will be selected for the Fund.

† As of December 31, 2016.
References to “assets under management” or “AUM” represent the assets managed by KKR or its strategic partners as to which KKR is entitled to receive a fee or carried interest (either currently or upon deployment of capital) and general partner capital. KKR calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of KKR's investment funds; (ii) uncalled capital commitments from these funds, including uncalled capital commitments from which KKR is currently not earning management fees or carried interest; (iii) the fair value of investments in KKR's co-investment vehicles; (iv) the par value of outstanding CLOs (excluding CLOs wholly-owned by KKR); (v) KKR's pro-rata portion of the AUM managed by strategic partnerships in which KKR holds a minority ownership interest and (vi) the fair value of other assets managed by KKR. The pro-rata portion of the AUM managed by strategic partnerships is calculated based on KKR's percentage ownership interest in such entities multiplied by such entity's respective AUM. KKR's calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers and, as a result, KKR's measurements of its AUM may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. KKR's definition of AUM is not based on the definitions of AUM that may be set forth in agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages and is not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.
1 Transactions include over 280 investments in portfolio companies and 100 follow-on investments in these companies.
