Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance data may be higher or lower than actual data quoted. The Fund imposes a 2.00% redemption fee on shares held for less than 30 days. Performance shown does not include the redemption fee, which if reflected would reduce the performance quoted. For the most current month-end performance data please call 1.866.759.5679. Performance includes reinvested distributions and capital gains.
The performance shown for periods prior to January 15, 2010, reflects the performance of the Old Mutual China Fund, a series of Old Mutual Funds I (as a result of a prior reorganization of the Old Mutual China Fund into the Clough China Fund).
The recent growth rate in the stock market has helped to produce short-term returns for some asset classes that are not typical and may not continue in the future. Because of ongoing market volatility, fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes.
Effective December 1, 2017, the Clough China Fund Class A name changed to the A Clough China Fund Investor Class.

Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each 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. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics. As of March 31, 2018, the Clough China Fund was rated against the following numbers of U.S.- domiciled China Region Funds over the following time periods: 81 funds in the last three years, 69 funds in the last five years and 37 funds in the last ten years. With respect to these China Region Funds, Investor Class Shares received a Morningstar Rating™ of 4 stars for the overall, 3 stars for the three-year and the five-year periods and 5 stars for the ten-year period; C Shares received a Morningstar Rating™ of 3 stars for the overall, 2 stars for the three-year period, 3 stars for the five-year period and 4 stars for the ten-year period; and I Shares received a Morningstar Rating™ of 4 stars for the overall, 3 stars for the three-year and the five-year periods and 5 stars for the ten-year period. Other classes may have different performance characteristics. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. ©2018 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
