Strategy. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in long and short positions of equity and equity-related securities. The Adviser will invest a portion of the assets in securities intended to track or exceed the performance of the S&P 500 Index (the Index) and additional exposure to a long/short portfolio (the Long/Short Portfolio), consisting of long and short positions, generally selected from the largest 500 to 700 U.S. companies by market capitalization.

The Adviser will invest a portion of the assets in securities intended to track or exceed the performance of the S&P 500 Index (the Index) and additional exposure to a long/short portfolio (the Long/Short Portfolio), consisting of long and short positions, generally selected from the largest 500 to 700 U.S. companies by market capitalization. The Fund is not a passive index fund, but instead utilizes an enhanced index or index plus strategy. The Long/Short Portfolio consists of long positions in securities that the Adviser believes to be undervalued and short positions in securities that the Adviser believes to be overvalued, based on the Advisers analysis of the issuers financial reports and market valuation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund targets a net exposure of approximately 100% and a gross exposure in the range of approximately 250 290%. In determining in which securities to take a long or short position for the Long/Short Portfolio, the Adviser employs a systematic, bottom-up, valuation approach based on the Advisers proprietary analytical framework to identify companies that appear to be undervalued or overvalued on both an absolute and relative basis. This approach consists of: ? Researching and analyzing each company in the Advisers coverage universe according to a methodology that emphasizes fundamentals such as recurring earnings, cash flows, capital efficiency, capital structure, and valuation; ? Identifying and excluding companies that do not conform to the Advisers valuation methodology or companies judged by the Adviser to have questionable financial reporting; ? Updating the analysis for earning releases, annual (Form 10-K) and quarterly (Form 10-Q) reports and other corporate filings; and ? Recording analysis in a centralized database enabling the Adviser to compare companies and identify longs and shorts based on the Advisers assessment of value. Generally, the long portion of the Long/Short Portfolio is weighted towards those stocks that are priced at the largest discount to the Advisers assessment of value. Similarly, the short portion of the Long/Short Portfolio is generally weighted towards those short positions selling at the largest premium to the Advisers measures of value. The Long/Short Portfolio is also subject to the Advisers risk controls, which include liquidity and diversification considerations. The Fund is rebalanced (generally daily) to maintain exposure levels, manage risk and reposition the portfolio to reflect earnings releases and other new information related to particular companies. The Fund obtains exposure to the Index and invests some or all of the long portion of the Long/Short Portfolio through investment in one or more exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or mutual funds intended to track or exceed the performance of the Index. Such ETFs and mutual funds may include ETFs or mutual funds advised or sub-advised by the Adviser (each an underlying fund and collectively, the underlying funds). Presently, the Fund obtains some or all of its exposure to the Index and/or invests some or all of the long portion of the Long/Short Portfolio through its investment in the Gotham Enhanced 500 ETF. The Gotham Enhanced 500 ETF is an actively managed ETF sub-advised by Gotham that invests in securities of issuers included in the Index weighted based on Gothams assessment of value and each securitys weight in the Index. The Fund currently obtains its long exposure through direct investment in securities, investments in other ETFs and through one or more swaps and its short exposure through one or more swaps. In addition, the Fund may lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations meeting capital and other credit requirements or other criteria established by the Funds Board of Trustees. Loans of portfolio securities will be collateralized by liquid securities and cash. The Fund may invest cash collateral received in securities consistent with its principal investment strategy. Because the Fund generally rebalances its long and short positions daily, the Fund will experience a high portfolio turnover rate.
