IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING YOUR INVESTMENT IN
Riverbridge ECO Leaders Fund
The Riverbridge Special Meeting of Shareholders has adjourned to APRIL 23, 2021 due to the lack of shareholder participation. The Fund’s records indicate that we have not received your vote. We urge you to vote as soon as possible in order to allow the Fund to obtain a sufficient number of votes to hold the meeting on APRIL 23RD and avoid the cost of further adjournments
If you have any questions or would like to vote, please call the number listed below:
855-200-7598
The rationale for the proposed transaction is that, consistent with the investment objectives and investment strategies of both Funds, the securities held in the two Funds have converged over time, such that they are currently identical, with perhaps some minor variations in position sizes. The Funds have the same investment objective, substantially similar investment strategies, the same portfolio management team, and similar risk profiles and therefore, the proposed transaction is not expected to materially change the way the Eco Leader Fund shareholders’ investments are managed. The Adviser expects that shareholders of the Eco Leaders Fund would benefit from the proposed reorganization by the expected reduction in fund expenses, as a result of elimination of redundant administrative expenses, and achievement of increased economies of scale. In addition, the transaction generally is not expected to result in recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.
