Current performance may be lower or higher than the data quoted. Investors cannot directly invest in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges. The volatility of an index may be materially different than that of the Fund, and investors should not expect the Fund to achieve the same results as a listed index.

Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 1-877-771-EVEN (3836).

The returns shown do not reflect the deduction in taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. Because of ongoing market volatility, fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes. Performance figures greater than 1 year are annualized.

Literature

Impact the world for good

  1. Effective 11/01/2024, the Fund's name changed from the Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund. Also effective 11/01/2024, the investment objectives of the Fund became dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund's secondary objective became dividend income and, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) is invested in the securities of companies that Eventide Asset Management, LLC believes have the ability to increase dividends over the long term. These clarifications are designed to help investors understand that the Fund places a greater emphasis on cash flow generation and dividend growth as opposed to absolute dividend yield or dividend income alone.
  2. Returns are for Class I as of 12/31/2024 with an inception date of 09/29/2017. Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with changing market conditions so that when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the data quoted.
  3. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

    The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or ‘star rating’, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10- year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings are determined monthly and subject to change.

    % Rank in Category is the fund’s percentile rank for the specified time period relative to all funds that have the same Morningstar category. The highest (or most favorable) percentile rank is 1 and the lowest (or least favorable) percentile rank is 100. The top-performing fund in a category will always receive a rank of 1. Percentile ranks within categories are most useful in those categories that have a large number of funds.
