Adopted December 2013

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund. This and other important information is contained within the Fund’s Prospectus, which can be obtained by calling (888) 445-6032, or by visiting our website www.wildermuthfund.com. The Fund’s Prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

The Fund is a closed-end interval fund.  An investment in the Fund is generally subject to market risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. You should consider that you may not have immediate access to the money you invest for an indefinite period of time. An investment in our shares is not suitable for you if you need immediate access to the money you invest.  An investment in the Fund represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund.

Important Risk Disclosures

Investing in the Fund involves risks, including those summarized below. Click here to read the Important Risk Disclosures of investing in the Fund which are outlined in the prospectus.

You should consider the shares to be an illiquid investment. Even though the Fund will make periodic repurchase offers to repurchase a portion of the shares to provide some liquidity to shareholders, only a limited number of shares will be eligible for repurchase by us. Once each quarter, the Fund will offer to repurchase at net asset value (NAV) per share no less than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, unless such offer is suspended or postponed in accordance with regulatory requirements. The Fund may increase the size of these offerings up to a maximum of 25% of the Fund’s outstanding shares, in the sole discretion of the Board, but it is not expected that the Board will do so.

Investors should understand that valuation issues involving the Fund’s investments in early stage and other private companies have led to delays in the completion of the Fund’s annual audit and the quarterly share repurchase program. A recurrence of this issue would further impact the liquidity of an investor’s shares.

The shares have no history of public trading, nor is it intended that the shares will be listed on a public exchange at this time.  We do not expect a secondary market in the shares to develop. Even if any such market were to develop, closed-end fund shares trade frequently at a discount from net asset value, which creates a risk of loss for investors purchasing shares in the initial public offering.

Private equity has a long-term investment time horizon with low liquidity needs.

Certain investments in the Fund are illiquid making it difficult to sell these securities and possibly requiring the Fund to sell at an unfavorable time or price.  The value of certain Fund investments, in particular non-traded investment vehicles, will be difficult to determine and the valuations provided will likely vary from the amounts the Fund would receive upon sale or disposition of its investments.

Like all financial instruments, the value of these securities may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of your investment in the Fund at any point in time may be worth less than the value of your original investment, even after taking into account any reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

The principal risks of the Fund also include investing in small and mid-cap stocks, REITS, MLPs, fixed income securities, foreign investments, and commodities. The Fund engages in the use of leverage, short-selling, hedging, and other speculative investment practices that may accelerate losses.

The Fund is classified as a non-diversified management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This means that the Fund may invest a greater portion of its assets in a limited number of issuers than would be the case if the Fund were classified as a diversified management investment company. Accordingly, the Fund may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified investment company.

The information provided herein is not directed at any investor or category of investors and is provided solely as general information about our product to otherwise provide general investment education. If you are an individual investor, contact your financial advisor or other fiduciary unrelated to Wildermuth Fund or its affiliates about whether any given investment idea, strategy, product or service described herein may be appropriate for your circumstances.

Portfolio characteristics are subject to change.
