U.S. Fixed Income

Fixed income funds are a good choice for investors seeking current income or who want to diversify a portfolio beyond stocks and money market funds. Investors concerned with taxes or the impact of inflation may benefit from funds specifically designed to manage against these risks.

While bond prices typically do not swing as widely as stock prices, income-oriented investors should balance their return expectations with their tolerance for risk. Income funds have two primary sources of risk: interest rate risk and credit risk.

American Independence Short-Term Bond Fund

The Fund’s goal is to provide investors with as high a level of current income as is consistent with liquidity and safety of principal by investing primarily in investment-grade bonds with maturities of 1-3 years.

American Independence Intermediate Bond Fund

The Fund’s goal is to provide investors with a competitive total return. The Fund primarily invests in intermediate-grade bonds. A high level of current income is an important consideration in achieving the Fund’s overall goal.

American Independence Kansas Tax-Exempt Bond Fund

The Fund’s goal is to preserve capital while producing current income for the investor that is exempt from both federal and Kansas state income taxes. The Fund invests primarily in municipal bonds with maturities ranging from 1 to 20 years. The Adviser intends to maintain a weighted average maturity between 7 and 12 years.

Active Treasury Management Bull/Bear Fund

The Fund’s goal is to maximize investors' total return through capital appreciation and current income as is consistant with liquidity and safety of principal. The Fund actively manages interest rate risk through the use of US Treasury Securities, Treasury related ETFs and Interest rate futures striving to profit from interest rate changes, both up and down.

American Independence U.S. Inflation-Indexed Fund

The Fund’s goal is to attain a high level of total return in excess of inflation as may be consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund invests primarily in securities that are denominated in U.S. dollars and that have a coupon rate and/or principal amount linked to the inflation rate.

Important Disclosures

Investing in the Funds involves risk. Equity securities are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments. The Funds may invest in small and mid cap securities which are more volatile than large cap stocks. Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value. Investments in fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risks. The principal value of a bond falls when interest rates rise and rises when interest rates fall. During periods of rising interest rates, the value of a bond investment is at greater risk than during periods of stable or falling rates.

Investing in a single-sector mutual fund involves greater risk and potential reward than investing in a more diversified fund. By concentrating on a small number of holdings, the fund carries greater risk because each investment has a greater effect on the fund's overall performance.
