Company Press Release

CMG Capital Management Group, Inc. Launches CMG Global Equity Fund With AlphaSimplex Group, LLC as Sub Advisor, and Research from Absolute Return Partners, LLPM

The Fund Seeks to Generate Long-Term Growth of Capital With Less Volatility Than Global Equity Markets

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., June 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CMG Capital Management Group, Inc. launched the CMG Global Equity Fund on May 15. The Fund portfolio is comprised of 50 global stocks that we believe demonstrate consistent earnings, financial strength and a track record of stable management and has the potential to deliver consistent long term results. The Fund includes a risk management overlay strategy that attempts to identify periods of high risk in global equity markets and hedge equity exposure though active volatility management.

The Fund stock selection is based on research from Absolute Return Partners, LLP, a London-based investment management firm. The equity investment process follows an eight-stage empirical method of identifying and rating the relative economic quality of 35,000 companies across 150 countries. CMG has selected AlphaSimplex Group, LLC as the sub-advisor responsible for the Fund's active volatility management. AlphaSimplex is a leader in bringing improved risk management to mutual fund investing. Dr. Andrew Lo and Dr. Alexander Healy of AlphaSimplex Group will serve as portfolio managers.

"We will select 50 global companies that we believe present the highest investment potential and manage that portfolio with a notable stock selection and risk management team," said Steve Blumenthal, CEO of CMG Capital Management Group, Inc. "We believe this is a time of profound uncertainty when tactically managed mutual funds, with proper risk management, can help smooth out turbulence and attempt to capture upside potential. This Fund seeks to give retail investors a global perspective to equity investing, with the expertise of AlphaSimplex Group and Absolute Return Partners."

"For almost a decade now, the equity selection model has demonstrated an ability to identify high quality companies from all over the world. Some of the current portfolio constituents, such as Apple, are very well known companies whereas others are largely unknown to the public. We believe that one of the great advantages of the model approach is its ability to identify lesser known companies that share the 'corporate DNA', as we define it, with Apple and other strong global brands -- i.e. superior earnings strength, strong balance sheet and cash flow and a proven ability to repeat the strong financial performance year after year," said Niels Jensen, Managing Partner of Absolute Return Partners, LLP.

There is no guarantee that any investment will achieve its objectives, generate positive returns, or avoid losses.

The CMG Global Equity Fund will be available to investors in two share classes: Class A shares (Ticker:GEFAX) and Class I shares (Ticker:GEFIX). The Fund is available on all major brokerage platforms including Fidelity/NFS, Pershing, Schwab, TD Ameritrade and Trust Company of America.

Definitions of Terms and Indices: Hedge: Making an investment to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in an asset. Normally, a hedge consists of taking an offsetting position in a related security, such as a futures contract. Active Volatility Management: Is a dynamic overlay strategy that attempts to enhance a portfolio's risk profile by potentially identifying periods of high risk in equity markets and hedging equity exposure by investing in liquid futures contracts. During periods when downside risk is deemed by the advisor to exceed upside potential, the overlay strategy will attempt to reduce exposure in an effort to bring downside risk to its long-term level.

Mutual Funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal. The Fund's use of derivatives and futures contracts involves hedging, leverage risk and tracking risk. Leverage through futures can magnify the Fund's gains or losses. The Fund may invest in short futures positions which could prevent the Fund from participating in market gains. Derivative instruments may be used to hedge against losses, however these positions can potentially offset gains. The Fund may be required to segregates assets or enter into offsetting positions in connections with investments in derivatives but these may not limit exposure to loss.

The Fund's investment in foreign securities may be affected by changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws, changes in governmental administration, economic, or monetary policy, currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar and changed circumstances between nations. In addition to these risks, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, social and legal systems that do not protect shareholders, economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of issues

The Fund may invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of one or more issuers and the resulting performance may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence than that of a diversified investment company. Additionally, smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, experience higher failure rates and disproportionate price fluctuations.
