To the Prospectuses, Summary Prospectuses and Statement
of Additional Information dated December 29, 2016, as supplemented
NOTICE OF LIQUIDATION OF THE JPMORGAN DIVERSIFIED REAL RETURN FUND. As previously communicated to shareholders, the Board of Trustees of the JPMorgan Diversified Real Return Fund (the “Fund”) has approved the liquidation and dissolution of the Fund on or about December 8, 2017 (the “Liquidation Date”). In preparation for the liquidation, the Fund may liquidate its investments in securities and other direct investments and may invest in other J.P. Morgan Funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (collectively, “Underlying Funds”) to gain exposure to inflation-sensitive and other asset classes that have exposure to broad equity, fixed income and alternative markets. Effective September 28, 2017, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. and/or its affiliates will waive additional fees and/or reimburse additional expenses related to the investment in Underlying Funds to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses including the Cayman Subsidiary and Underlying Fund fees (but excluding dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.00%, 1.50%, 0.75, 1.30% and 0.65% of Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2 and Class R5 Shares, respectively. In addition, the Fund may depart from its stated investment objective and strategies and liquidate any or all of its assets including any or all of its investments in Underlying Funds as it increases its cash holdings in preparation for its liquidation.
Unless you have an individual retirement account (“IRA”) where UMB Bank n.a. currently serves as the custodian, on the Liquidation Date, the Fund shall distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record all of the assets of the Fund in complete cancellation and redemption of all of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest, except for cash, bank deposits or cash equivalents in an estimated amount necessary to (i) discharge any unpaid liabilities and obligations of the Fund on the Fund’s books on the Liquidation Date, including, but not limited to, income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, payable through the Liquidation Date, and (ii) pay such contingent liabilities as the officers of the Fund deem appropriate subject to ratification by the Board. Capital gain distributions, if any, may be paid on or prior to the Liquidation Date. If you have a Fund direct IRA account, your shares will be exchanged for Morgan Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund unless you provide alternative direction prior to the Liquidation Date. For all other IRA accounts, the proceeds will be invested based upon guidelines of the applicable Plan administrator.
Upon liquidation, shareholders may purchase any class of another J.P. Morgan Fund for which they are eligible with the proceeds of the liquidating distribution. Shareholders holding Class A Shares or Class I Shares will be permitted to use their proceeds from the liquidation to purchase Class A Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund at net asset value within 90 days of the liquidating distribution, provided that they remain eligible to purchase Class A Shares. They may also purchase other share classes for which they are eligible. If shareholders of Class C Shares purchase Class C Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund within 90 days of the liquidating distribution, no contingent deferred sales charge will be imposed on those new Class C Shares. At the time of the purchase you must inform your Financial Intermediary or the Funds that the proceeds are from the liquidated fund.
FOR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD OF THE FUND AS OF AUGUST 24, 2017, ADDITIONAL PURCHASES OF FUND SHARES WILL BE ACCEPTED UP TO AND INCLUDING DECEMBER 1, 2017 AFTER WHICH NO NEW PURCHASES WILL BE ACCEPTED. FOR ALL OTHER INVESTORS, PURCHASES OF FUND SHARES WERE NO LONGER ACCEPTED AFTER AUGUST 24, 2017.

SUP-DRR-LIQ-917

It's my understanding that the rules get complex when state laws get involved. Liability, bankruptcy type protections may be lost if moving from a employer plan to an IRA rollover. This varies by state. Also, the state Medicaid exemptions for spousal retirement accounts may include the employer plan but not a rollover account. Again, how spousal retirement accounts are treated may vary by state. This sort of thing keeps the elder lawyer crowd in business.
As far as fees go. I have rolled over three accounts, two from MSF_ to Vanguard and one from Fidelity to Vanguard and have not paid a fee. The first two were traditional IRAs to rollover IRAs. The second was part 457(b) and part 401(a) to one of the rollover IRAs from the MSF_ transaction.

FYI: You've left a job where you have money in a 401(k) plan. Do you leave it at your old employer, or roll it over into one of three choices: the 401(k) plan at your new employer, an individual retirement account or a Roth IRA?

Hi Guys,
This article by author Andrew Hallam has a very simple answer to the question offered in the title of that article: an easy qualified Yes even under stressful market reversals. It's qualified because it uses past market crashes to define the severity of a downturn, and it postulates an investor who has a baseline drawdown schedule of 4% with an unwavering commitment to continue that schedule even as his portfolio diminishes in value. That may not be easy to do.
But if those constraints can be satisfied, Hallam concludes that an easily defined investment program satisfies the portfolio survival issue. Simply buy a set of low cost Index funds and stay the course. No further action is required; don't panic, don't try alternate actively managed funds.
Just buy and go away. Things couldn't be more simple. However, it's not clear to me that spending could be significantly reduced as a retirement portfolio suffers a couple of years of negative returns. It's always good to be flexible, but flexibility has its limits, especially if the food budget comes under attack.
Regardless, not reacting to every market action, and constructing a low cost Index dominated portfolio is not a bad overall strategy.
Best Regards

FYI: You worked hard for your money. You planned for retirement. But now you’re getting nervous. U.S. stocks gained 233 percent between January 2009 and September 2017. If you retire this year, and stocks take a dive, could you run out of money?

TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
(the “Trust”)
TFS Market Neutral Fund (TFSMX)
TFS Small Cap Fund (TFSSX)
TFS Hedged Futures Fund (TFSHX)
Supplement to the Prospectuses dated March 1, 2017
Effective immediately, TFS Market Neutral Fund, TFS Small Cap Fund, and TFS Hedged Futures Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) have terminated the public offering of their shares and will discontinue each Fund’s operations on or about October 27, 2017 (the “Liquidation Date”). Shares of the Funds are no longer available for purchase, including for purchases through Automatic Investment Plans. The Funds intend to make a final distribution of capital gains and income on or about September 29, 2017.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on September 19, 2017 (the “Board Meeting”), the Board of Trustees, in consultation with the Trust’s investment adviser, TFS Capital LLC (the “Adviser”), determined, to liquidate the Trust based on, among other factors, the Adviser’s belief that it would be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders to discontinue each Fund’s operations. Through the Liquidation Date, the Adviser will continue to waive fees and reimburse expenses of each Fund, as necessary, to maintain each Fund’s fees and expenses at their current level, as specified in the Funds’ Prospectuses dated March 1, 2017.
At the Board Meeting, the Board of Trustees directed that with respect to each Fund: (i) all or substantially all of the Fund’s portfolio securities be liquidated in an orderly manner no later than September 29, 2017; and (ii) all or substantially all outstanding shareholder accounts on the Liquidation Date will be closed and the proceeds of each account would be sent to the shareholder’s address of record or to such other address as directed by the shareholder, including special instructions that may be needed for Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”) and qualified pension and profit sharing fund accounts. Because of the liquidation of each Fund’s portfolio securities described above, each Fund’s normal exposure to its investment strategy will be reduced and eventually eliminated. Accordingly, shareholders should not expect any of the Funds to achieve its stated investment objective.
Shareholders may continue to freely redeem their shares of the Funds on each business day during the Trust’s liquidation process.
This transaction will be considered for tax purposes a sale of Fund shares by shareholders, and shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors to ensure its proper treatment on their income tax returns. In addition, shareholders invested through an IRA or other tax-deferred account should consult the rules regarding the reinvestment of these assets. To avoid a potential tax issue, shareholders may choose to authorize, prior to the Liquidation Date, a direct transfer of their retirement account assets to another tax-deferred retirement account. Typically, shareholders have 60 days from the Liquidation Date to invest the proceeds in another IRA or qualified retirement account; otherwise the liquidation proceeds may be required to be included in the shareholder’s taxable income for the current tax year.
If you have any questions regarding any Fund, please call 1-888-534-2001.
Investors Should Retain this Supplement for Future Reference

Target date funds are designed as set-and-forget investments for those who want to have nothing to do with their investments. (I doubt many people here fall into that category.)
It's rarely pointed out (as this article does in its first paragraph), that they don't work as intended if you throw in other investments: "Investors who mix target-date funds with other long-term equity or fixed income products could be inadvertently sabotaging their investment goals....This could lead to skewed asset allocations, over-diversification and potentially poor risk-adjusted returns."
For such investors, if they don't like the glide path, they can pick another fund family or a different target date. They don't have to mix and match - that defeats the autopilot objective. For most people, target date funds are best used as all-or-nothing.
I do see a couple of reasons why one might want to invest in more than a single target date fund. One is because a person might have different objectives. The standard objective is retirement. But one might also have a 529 plan. These plans often offer target date funds (also called age-date, as in these Calif. 529 funds). Obviously two different glide paths are appropriate for college and retirement.
Another reason is to do the complete opposite of what target date funds are designed for. Deconstruct them, use their components as part of your personally managed portfolio. Though I'd be more inclined to crack open funds of funds that don't have glide paths.
For example, if you want access to Vanguard Alternative Strategies Fund (VASFX), you can get by investing in Vanguard Managed Payout Fund (VPGDX). 1/8 of that fund is VASFX. You do have to like the other funds in the package as well, and build your portfolio around them to make this work.

ROOSEVELT MULTI-CAP FUND
Supplement to the Prospectus
And Statement of Additional Information
dated March 30, 2017
Supplement dated September 12, 2017
The Board of Trustees has determined to cease operations of the Roosevelt Multi-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) due to the adviser’s business decision that it does not want to continue to manage the Fund because it is no longer economically feasible.
As of the date of this supplement, the Fund is no longer accepting purchase orders for its shares and it will close effective November 15, 2017. Shareholders may redeem Fund shares at any time prior to this closing date. Procedures for redeeming your account, including reinvested distributions, are contained in the section “How to Redeem Shares” of the Fund’s Prospectus. Any shareholders that have not redeemed their shares of the Fund prior to November 15, 2017 will have their shares automatically redeemed as of that date, with proceeds being sent to the address of record. If your Fund shares were purchased through a broker-dealer and are held in a brokerage account, redemption proceeds may be forwarded by the Fund directly to the broker-dealer for deposit into your brokerage account.
Effective immediately, the Fund is no longer pursuing its investment objective. All holdings in the Fund’s portfolio are being liquidated, and the proceeds will be invested in money market instruments or held in cash. Any capital gains will be distributed as soon as practicable to shareholders and reinvested in additional Fund shares, unless you have requested payment in cash.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RETIREMENT PLAN INVESTORS
If you are a retirement plan investor, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the consequences of a redemption of Fund shares. If you receive a distribution from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA, you must roll the proceeds into another IRA within 60 days of the date of the distribution in order to avoid having to include the distribution in your taxable income for the year. If you are the trustee of a qualified retirement plan or the custodian of a 403(b)(7) custodian account (tax-sheltered account) or a Keogh account, you may reinvest the proceeds in any way permitted by its governing instrument.

TALKING TO A BROKER or insurance salesman? Here are 10 things you’ll likely never hear:
1. 'Wow, your 401(k) has great low-cost institutional funds. There’s no way you should roll that money into an IRA."

I had to double check that the date of this column really was after Jun 9, 2017. 'Cause that's when the DOL fiduciary rule kicked in for IRA rollovers.
Maybe you won't hear a broker saying that you should keep your money in a 401(k), but you won't be hearing brokers recommending IRA rollovers if they can't demonstrate that a rollover would be in the best interest of the customer.
From American Funds:
https://www.americanfunds.com/advisor/tools/policy-spotlight/dol-best-interest-contract-article.html

Under the DOL fiduciary rule, which took effect June 9, financial advisors who recommend that a client roll over a 401(k) into an individual retirement account (IRA) are considered fiduciaries. [Brokers who offer advice on rollovers are considered advisors here, and are thus held to the fiduciary standard.]
Fiduciary Requirements for Advisors Recommending 401(k) Rollovers
Under the fiduciary rule, which took effect on June 9, advisors must recommend a rollover only if it is in the client’s best interest. As part of this responsibility, advisors will need to consider:

• Fees and expenses associated with both the plan and the IRA
  
• Available investments under both
  
• Whether the employer pays some or all plan expenses

Here's one projection of the impact on rollovers, from Investment News Sept. 8, 2016:
"DOL fiduciary rule could cause half of potential IRA rollover assets to stay put: Report"

Start early, save as much as possible, live below your means, and you will likely to do alright with your retirement. The power of compounding over time will do the rest.

FYI: When I was in college, I often burned the midnight oil, staying up late to write an essay or cram for an exam. I was born to procrastinate.
Sometimes, I imagine going back in time. I did some dumb things in college–things I would like to set right. You might think improving time management would be on my list of things to fix. But I’m not sure. After all, I still passed those exams, finished those essays, and earned the same degree as my more responsible peers.
Perhaps you can relate. After all, many of us procrastinate. But when it comes to saving for retirement, procrastinating is crazy. Early birds don’t just get the worm. They get five star buffets for almost zero effort.

Ted

Good stuff @bee. I'm also a big believer in funding HSA's for retirement purposes. No better vehicle in my opinion.

I'm still looking for a primary source (i.e. tax code, or even IRS) on this. Best secondary sources I've found so far suggest that the "successor beneficiary" simply continues the same distribution schedule. No lump sum is required.

After an individual retirement account (IRA) owner dies, an IRA beneficiary [e.g. Maurice] may want to name a successor beneficiary to receive his/her remaining share of inherited IRA assets when he/she dies.
Nonspouse is Original Beneficiary of a Decedent’s IRA:
A successor beneficiary continues using the existing single life expectancy payout schedule or the original five-year period, whichever was elected by the original nonspouse beneficiary [e.g. Maurice].

https://www.wolterskluwerfs.com/article/iras-and-successor-beneficiaries.aspx

What are the rules when you inherit an inherited IRA?
Jim dies and names [Maurice] as his beneficiary on the beneficiary form. Five years later [Maurice] dies and has named Phyllis, who is a successor beneficiary, on the beneficiary form.
When Phyllis inherits the IRA five years later, she simply picks up the life expectancy factor where [Maurice] leaves off.

https://www.irahelp.com/slottreport/inheriting-inherited-ira

From a recent read:
Roth IRAs (as well as H.S.A.) aren’t subject to the required minimum distributions (RMDs) that apply to most retirement accounts starting at age 70½, so you can let any Roth (and H.S.A) assets continue to benefit from potential tax-free growth for the rest of your life. (T Rowe Price quote).
FYI:
-Roth IRAs are inherited tax free.
-H.S.A are taxable when received as a non-spousal inheritance.
-Interestingly, Roth 401K account do have RMDs.
I have a few personal strategy for dealing with RMDs. Consider strategically spending down these taxable IRA dollars first rather than raiding taxable accounts, Roth accounts or Health Savings Accounts, especially between the years of 59.5 and 70.5.
Fund an H.S.A:
-Between the age of 59.5 and 65 (when you become medicare eligible) distribute a portion of your tax deferred IRA yearly equal to your maximum H.S.A contribution. This will provide a funding source for my H.S.A as well as make these IRA distributions tax free since there tax liability will be offset by the H.S.A contribution (income tax credit) for that same year.
Fund Itemize Medical Expenses:
- Between ages (65 -70.5) track medical expenses that are eligible as an itemized tax deduction. Do not use your H.S.A dollars during this time frame to pay for these medical costs. Instead, pay all of these medical expenses with yearly IRA distributions. Using IRA distributions as the funding source for medical related expenses may potentially lowering your taxes on these taxable distributions.
Here's a debatable strategy:
Defer 25% of your IRA well beyond 70.5 by purchasing a QLAC:
why-a-qlac-in-an-ira-is-a-terrible-way-to-defer-the-required-minimum-distribution-rmd-obligation/

FYI: EVERY YEAR, MANY SENIORS needlessly incur hefty penalties or overpay their taxes. The reason: They don’t understand the strict rules that govern removing money from their tax-deferred retirement accounts.

Interesting find.
An apparently little known fact is that several fund families, notably Fidelity, offer funds with performance based fees. AllianceBernstein is doing something a bit different in making nearly all of its fee performance based. Usually the performance adjustment is just a few basis points. Fidelity has 76 funds with these fees.
With luck, you'll be able to read this Barron's article via google: AllianceBernstein Fires the Latest Shot in the Fee Wars
As ibartman noted, these funds are available only to certain fee based accounts. More specifically, to accounts that pay for their "investment advisory and administrative services". It sounds like clean shares, with a twist.
http://mutualfundobserver.com/discuss/discussion/33008/will-the-fiduciary-rule-shrink-the-ever-expanding-world-of-share-classes
The twist is that the Fidelity flex funds charge no management fee either. Obviously no performance adjustment to 0.00%.
I'm guessing that Fidelity is making its profit by charging retirement plans a fee to offer their funds. For example, here's an excerpt from the fee section of a Fidelity service. The service is called "Fidelity Portfolio Advisory Service At Work. Like its retail PAS service, this manages your portfolio for you (for a fee), but the portfolio is your retirement plan.

If you have enrolled in the Service through a retirement plan that makes available Fidelity Flex mutual funds as the eligible investment options for the plan, you will not be charged an annual net advisory fee and will not receive a Pricing Supplement, because your plan sponsor has agreed to a single program fee with Fidelity that will be paid at the plan level.

"Plan sponsor" is your employer. It sounds like Fidelity is making its money from running the plan (that the employer is paying for), and offering the underlying funds "for free". Like offering a fund of funds with no separate management fee to entice people into an investment (here the retirement plan) where other fees are collected.
I'm still not entirely clear how Fidelity gets paid, especially if these funds show up in non-Fidelity run retirement plans. Still trying to "follow the money".

Hi Guys,
I know. Yes, I know I'm a broken record on a tool that is extremely useful when discussing long term planning and decision making. That's because I've been retired for almost two decades and have experienced many of its issues and problems.
A key worry and real problem is running out of money. Knowing that likelihood, and some discipline, are critical elements in this arena. To the surprise of no MFOers, the tool I constantly endorse is Monte Carlo,analyses. The primary outputs of that now user friendly tool are a portfolio survival odds estimate and a value range of those end-of-period probabilities.
Here is an MFO internal reference to a post that I submitted a few days ago on this very topic:
http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/discuss/discussion/34976/monte-carlo-investing#latest
It provides Links to 2 very good, free Monte Carlo simulators that are easy to use. Please give them a test.
Doing just a few what-if scenarios will give you a feeling for many potential retirement shortfalls. These tools also are easily exercised to explore how rather small changes can have a dramatic impact on portfolio survival odds. That's where the do-it discipline enters the equation. Good luck to everyone.
Best Wishes

FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search)
If you're in the annuity industry, a client has probably walked into your office with preconceived notions about annuities for retirement planning, partly due to some critics' opinions on annuities that may not consider the needs of everyone. Critics believe variable annuities aren't right for anybody, and they convince people lifetime income retirement strategies are available elsewhere. For many people, that's not true
