3D Printing and Technology Fund Changes Name to 3D Printing, Robotics and Technology Fund

Business Wire
3D Printing and Technology Fund (TDPIX, TDPNX) changed its name
today to 3D Printing, Robotics and Technology Fund to better
reflect that many Fund holdings are in the robotics field, and
reflecting an increasingly strong connection between the fields of
3D printing and robotics.
“3D printing continues to be a rapidly growing field as it
disrupts traditional manufacturing and aids the growth of new
medical, dental and bioprinting horizons,” stated Alan Meckler,
Lead Portfolio Manager. “Adding Robotics to our Fund name is
logical as the robotics field is growing rapidly too and there are
many sectors where the lines are blurred between 3D printers and
robots. In fact 3D printers are essentially robots. We are excited
to have one of the few investment vehicles in the mutual fund space
that targets these two dynamic areas of growth.”
3D Printing, Robotics and Technology Fund is managed by 3D
Printing Fund Advisers, LLC, with Alan M. Meckler serving as Lead
Portfolio Manager and John M. Meckler as Co-Portfolio Manager and
Chief Compliance Officer.
3D Printing, Robotics and Technology Fund is available for
purchase via online brokerages Schwab, Vanguard and Scottrade, as
well as directly through the Fund’s website,
http://www.3dpfund.com. In addition, the Fund is offered through
Pershing, Matrix Financial, SEI Investments, and a number of other
dealers and networks.
Investment from non-United States residents may be permitted on
a case-by-case basis and only if permissible under the laws of the

solicitation or offer to sell the Fund.

Important Information
Before investing in 3D Printing, Robotics and Technology Fund
you should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives,
risks, charges and expenses. This and other important information
is contained in the Fund's prospectus, a copy of which may be
obtained by calling (855) 330-6225 or by visiting the Fund’s
website at www.3dpfund.com. Please read the prospectus carefully
before investing.
An investment in the Fund is subject to risk, including the
possible loss of principal amount invested, that are fully
discussed in the Fund’s prospectus and include technology risk, the
risk of short product cycles and rapid obsolescence of products and
services; manufacturing company risk, affected by supply and demand
for their specific product; new industry risk and other equity
securities risk. A decline in the value of or default by a single
security may have a greater negative effect than in a diversified
portfolio. Investments in small and medium capitalization companies
may be less liquid and their securities’ prices may fluctuate more
than those of larger, more established companies.
Foreign investments may be subject to the same risks as domestic
investments and additional risks which include international trade,
currency fluctuation, and political, regulatory and diplomatic
risks, which may affect their value. Foreign investments may also
suffer from a lack of timely or reliable financial information.
Emerging markets investments are subject to additional risks due to
greater political and economic uncertainties as well as a relative
lack of information about companies in such markets. Investments in
ADRs, which are depositary receipts for foreign company stocks, are
not themselves listed on a U.S. exchange.
Preferred stock is a class of a capital stock that typically
pays dividends at a specified rate. The market value of preferred
stock generally decreases when interest rates rise and is also
affected by the issuer's ability to make payments on the preferred
stock. Investments in convertible securities subject the Fund to
the risks associated with both fixed-income securities and common
stocks. If a convertible security investment’s value is greater
than its conversion value, its price will be likely to increase
when interest rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise, as
with a fixed-income security. The Fund has industry concentration
risk and regulatory risk. There is no guarantee the Fund will
achieve the investment objective. The Fund may not be suitable for
all investors.
