RiverPark Small Cap Growth Fund - (RPSZX-Instl., RPSFX-Retail)

Overview

RiverPark seeks to make investments in securities of small capitalization companies, which it defines as those below $2.5 billion. RiverPark invests in what it believes are exciting growth businesses with significant long term growth potential, but patiently waits for opportunities to purchase these companies at what it believes are attractive prices. RiverPark believes the style is best described as a "value orientation toward growth".

1. Develop investment themes based on mega trends
2. Focus on competitively advantaged growth companies

Mutual fund investing involves risk including 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. 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. The Funds are non-diversified. Bonds and bond funds are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value as interest rates rise. High yield bonds involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities, due to the speculative nature of their investments. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives.

To determine if a Fund is an appropriate investment for you, carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing.
