The performance quoted herein represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. High short-term performance of the fund is unusual and investors should not expect such performance to be repeated. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost, and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 888.564.4517.
The RiverPark Long/Short Opportunity Fund performance data quoted for periods prior to March 30, 2012 is that of the Predecessor Fund. The predecessor Fund inception date is 9/30/209. The Fund will be managed in a materially equivalent manner to its predecessor. The Predecessor Fund was not a registered mutual fund and was not subject to the same investment and tax restrictions as the Fund. If the annual returns for the predecessor partnership were charged the same fees and expenses as the Fund, the annual returns for the predecessor partnership would have been higher.
The RiverPark Long/short Opportunity Fund uses leverage. If the securities decrease in value, the Fund may suffer a greater loss than would have resulted without the use of leverage. With short sales, losses are potentially unlimited and the expenses involved with the short strategy may impact the performance of the Fund. Due to the inherent leveraged nature of options, a relatively small adverse move in the price of the underlying instrument may result in immediate and substantial losses to the Fund. The use of options, swaps and derivatives by the Fund has the potential to significantly increase the Fund's volatility. The Fund is non-diversified. Mutual fund investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, international investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from social, economic or political instability in other nations. Investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its stated objectives.
To determine if this Fund is an appropriate investment for you, carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing. This and other information may be found in the Fund’s prospectus, which may be obtained by calling 888.564.4517, or by visiting the website at www.riverparkfunds.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Risk Measurement Statistics: Max Drawdown is a metric used to evaluate risk. It measures the single largest peak to trough decline in an investment's or index’s net asset value over a period of negative performance since inception of the investment. Different indices and investments will experience drawdowns over different time periods. However, comparing max drawdowns over a common time period among multiple investments or indices provides a common basis for comparing two or more sets of data. The max drawdown for a particular index may be different than the max drawdown presented if it were to include the entire period of such index’s existence rather than the period set forth above. Since the Fund was converted from a partnership with only historical monthly performance, the max drawdown is calculated based on monthly performance information. Down Market Performance is a metric used to evaluate risk. It measures the average monthly performance of the Fund as compared to the average monthly performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500, for the months in which the benchmark lost money. Gross exposure is calculated by adding the percentage of the Fund's equity invested in short sales to the percentage of its equity used for long positions. Net exposure takes into account the benefits of offsetting long and short positions and is calculated by subtracting the percentage of the Fund's equity capital invested in short sales from the percentage of its equity capital used for long positions. The Sharpe ratio is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate - such as that of the 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill - from the rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result by the standard deviation of the portfolio returns.

This material represents an assessment of the market environment at a specific point in time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events, or a guarantee of future results. Alpha and Beta are calculated based on a regression of monthly performance data since inception versus the S&P 500 total return index.
