Midas Fund
MIDAS FUND (ticker: MIDSX) seeks primarily capital appreciation and protection against inflation and, secondarily, current income.
Under normal circumstances, in pursuit of its investment objectives, the Fund’s investment strategy is to invest principally in (i) securities (e.g., common and preferred stocks, bonds, convertible securities, etc.) of companies primarily involved, directly or indirectly, in the business of mining, processing, fabricating, distributing or otherwise dealing in gold, silver, platinum, other precious metals, or other natural resources (“Natural Resources Companies”); and (ii) gold, silver, and platinum bullion and coins; provided, however, that the Fund’s investment adviser, Midas Management Corporation (the “Investment Manager”), may invest in any type of equity security (e.g., common and preferred stocks) and in companies of any size, industry or sector, including both domestic and foreign companies, that the Investment Manager believes may achieve the Fund’s investment objectives. Up to 35% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in fixed income securities of any issuer, including U.S. government securities, of any credit quality or maturity, although the Fund has no current intention of investing more than 5% of its total assets in fixed income securities rated less than investment grade (also known as “junk bonds”). The Fund concentrates its investments by investing at least 25% of its total assets in Natural Resource Companies.
Midas Fund invests in securities of companies involved in the business of mining, processing, fabricating, distributing or otherwise dealing in natural resources and precious metals. The Fund is subject to risks including, but not limited to, those associated with market fluctuations, foreign investment, non-diversification, concentration, investments in gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals, natural resource companies, depletion and exploration risk, and in-kind redemptions. You should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund by reading the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money. For more detailed information about the investment risks associated with the Fund, please read “Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund,” and “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies, Related Risks, and Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings” in the free prospectus, which contains this and other important information about the Fund.

Midas Magic
MIDAS MAGIC (ticker: MISEX) normally will exercise a flexible strategy in the selection of securities and usually will not be limited by the issuer’s location, size, or market capitalization. The Fund may invest in equity and fixed income securities of new and seasoned U.S. and foreign issuers with no minimum rating, including securities convertible into common stock, debt securities, futures, options, derivatives, and other instruments. The Fund also may employ aggressive and speculative investment techniques, such as selling securities short and under normal circumstances, in pursuit of its investment objective, may invest in any security type (e.g., common and preferred stocks, bonds, convertible securities, etc.) and in companies of any size, industry, sector, including both domestic and foreign companies. Generally, the Fund’s investment adviser, Midas Management Corporation (the “Investment Manager”), seeks to invest in what it believes to be quality companies with unique combinations of strength in operations, products, and finances with either growth or value characteristics. A security is typically sold when its potential to meet the Fund’s investment objective is limited or exceeded by another potential investment, when an investment in an issuer no longer appears to meet the Fund’s investment objective, or when the Fund must raise cash to meet shareholder redemptions. In seeking to enhance returns, the Fund may use futures, options, and short sales and may use leverage to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
To achieve the Fund’s investment objective, the Investment Manager may use a seasonal investing strategy to invest the Fund’s assets to gain exposure to the securities markets during periods anticipated to be favorable based on patterns of investor behavior as driven by and related to accounting periods, taxable events, and other calendar related phenomena. The Investment Manager’s analysis also takes into consideration those periods during the year in which it anticipates that investors are more likely to invest additional money into the securities markets. These periods can be related to accounting periods and may be further refined by considerations of tax cycles, holidays, and other factors. The Fund may trade securities actively in pursuit of its investment objective.
You should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of Midas Magic by reading the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money. For investment risks associated with the Fund, please read “Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund,” and “Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies, Related Risks, and Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings” in the free prospectus, which contains this and other important information about the Fund.
