- Catalyst Dynamic Alpha Fund (CPEAX) is an open-end equity mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation through an opportunistic, alpha-seeking investment strategy utilizing a quantitative methodology based on time-tested factors including relative strength, price momentum, and sector rotation. The Fund invests dynamically across all stock styles and market capitalizations, including small-, mid-, and large-cap companies, without artificial growth or value restrictions; it employs disciplined buy and sell triggers, ranking stock and sector strength weekly, maintaining a concentrated portfolio typically of around 20 positions with strict risk controls for volatility, liquidity, and diversification. Share classes include Class A (CPEAX, inception December 22, 2011), Class C (CPECX), and Class I (CPEIX, inception June 6, 2014), offered by Catalyst Capital Advisors LLC as investment advisor with sub-advisor Cookson, Peirce & Co., Inc.; portfolio managers are Bruce W. Miller, CFA (Chief Investment Officer), Cory S. Krebs, CFA (Chief Operating Officer), and Luke O’Neill, CFA (Senior Vice President). The Fund operates primarily in U.S. equity markets, targeting financial advisors and their clients seeking equity-oriented returns with downside protection via systematic sell disciplines. It is part of Catalyst Funds, founded in 2006 and headquartered at 36 New York Avenue, Floor 2, Huntington, New York 11743, which offers a range of distinctive strategies across alternative/hedged, income-oriented, and equity-oriented segments through in-house and boutique partners. Recent updates include continued adherence to the contractual expense limitation agreement through October 31, 2026, capping net expense ratios at 1.38% for Class A, 2.13% for Class C, and 1.13% for Class I shares (excluding certain costs like brokerage and taxes); the most recent prospectus gross expense ratios as of November 1, 2025, are 1.51%, 2.26%, and 1.26%, respectively. The Fund has maintained its core quantitative strategy under the Cookson Peirce approach, with no reported acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, name changes, or major strategic shifts in the last 1-2 years; performance as of December 16, 2025, shows year-to-date returns of 10.46% for Class A shares amid ongoing market monitoring.
