Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
Share ClassOne YearThree YearsFive YearsTen Years
Institutional Class$93$290$504$1,120
Retail Class$118$368$638$1,409
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions or spreads, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 130.57% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities and loans issued by companies that are rated below investment grade (i.e., “junk” bonds and loans). The fixed income securities and loans in which the Fund invests include traditional corporate bonds, zero-coupon bonds, commercial paper, exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), distressed debt securities (i.e., fixed income securities that are near to going into default), bank loan assignments and/or participations, private placements, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, U.S. Government obligations, sovereign debt and bank loans to corporate borrowers, and may have fixed, floating or variable rates. The Fund typically focuses on instruments that have short durations (i.e., have an expected duration of three years or less from the time of purchase through maturity, call, or corporate action). To the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), the Fund will consider the underlying holdings of such funds for purposes of meeting its policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities and loans of companies that have been rated below investment grade.
The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in foreign fixed income instruments, including those denominated in U.S. dollars or other currencies, and may also invest without limit in Rule 144A fixed income securities. Additionally, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in convertible bonds, up to 25% of its total assets in Yankee bonds, and up to 20% in preferred stocks, special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”), and income producing equities. The Fund’s investments in derivative instruments, specifically futures contracts, options, options on futures contracts, swap agreements and forward currency contracts (collectively, “Derivatives”), may be used as a substitute for making direct investments in the underlying instruments or to reduce exposure to, or “hedge” against, market volatilities and other risks. The Fund may use a Derivative rather than investing directly in an underlying asset class as a low-cost, effective means to gain exposure to such asset class.
The Fund will sell an investment during portfolio rebalancing periods when the Fund’s holdings in that investment are larger than the allocation suggested by the Adviser’s investment models or when a more attractive investment becomes available. The Adviser may engage in active trading of the Fund’s portfolio investments, resulting in a high portfolio turnover rate, to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
There is no assurance the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
Principal Risks
Performance
The bar chart demonstrates some of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund from year-to-year. The Average Annual Total Returns table also demonstrates these risks by showing how the Fund’s average annual total returns for the one year, five year and since inception periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance, as well as two secondary indices provided to show broader market perspective. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.crossingbridgefunds.com or by calling the Fund toll-free at 888-898-2780.
Calendar Year Returns as of December 31

The returns shown in the bar chart are for Institutional Class shares of the Fund. Retail Class shares would have substantially
similar annual returns because the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the annual returns would differ only
to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.
During the period shown in the bar chart, the best performance for a quarter was 4.34% (for the quarter ended June 30, 2020) and the worst performance was -5.07% (for the quarter ended March 31, 2020).

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions or spreads, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 217.47% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to offer a higher yield than cash instruments while maintaining a low duration by investing primarily in fixed income securities consistent with capital preservation. The Fund defines fixed income securities to include: bills, notes, bonds, debentures, convertible bonds, loan participations, syndicated loan assignments, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, Rule 144A fixed income securities, zero coupon securities, sovereign debt and other evidence of indebtedness issued by U.S. or foreign corporations, governments, government agencies or government instrumentalities, including floating-rate securities, preferred stock and fixed income-like equities. Convertible bonds, preferred stocks, and fixed income-like equities (e.g., special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”)) provide interest income and/or the potential for capital appreciation while having an effective maturity. Floating-rate securities provide interest income that can increase or decrease with interest rates. The Fund invests in individual fixed income securities without restriction as to issuer credit quality, capitalization or security maturity. Though the Fund can invest in securities domiciled in foreign countries and denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund invests primarily in securities denominated in U.S. dollars issued by issuers domiciled in developed markets. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in lower-quality fixed income securities — commonly known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds. Junk bonds are generally rated lower than Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or lower than BBB- by S&P Global Ratings Services (“S&P”) (“S&P”). The Adviser believes these investments are consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund may invest in companies that are in default, subject to bankruptcy or reorganization.
The Adviser seeks to manage interest rate, default and currency risks. The Adviser manages interest rate risk by maintaining, under normal market conditions, an average portfolio duration of 1 or less by investing in short-term, medium-term and floating rate securities. The stated maturity for a fixed income security may be longer than its expected maturity used for the portfolio duration calculation. The stated maturity may differ from the expected maturity as a result of market conditions or corporate actions (such as a change of control ‘put’ provision or corporate redemption feature). Duration is a measure of sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. For example, a security with a duration of 1 would be expected to decrease in price 1% for every 1% rise in interest rates (the inverse is true as well).
The Adviser manages default risk by selecting securities of issuers that it believes will pay interest and principal regardless of their credit rating, based upon the Adviser’s credit analysis of each issuer. The Adviser may also select securities that are in default, subject to bankruptcy or reorganization where the
Adviser believes the risks to be consistent with capital preservation, based on the Adviser’s analysis of an issuer’s liquidation value or post-bankruptcy or post-reorganization value.
The Adviser manages foreign currency risk by investing primarily in securities denominated in U.S. dollars, such as Yankee bonds. If the Fund were to invest in foreign currency denominated securities, the Fund restricts such activity to less than 35% of the Fund’s total assets. When deemed appropriate, the Adviser may hedge the foreign currency exposure typically, and primarily, with forward currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties.
The Adviser may engage in active and frequent trading, resulting in a high portfolio turnover rate, to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Portfolio Turnover

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 129.55% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in fixed income securities while actively managing interest rate and default risks. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities that meet the Adviser’s responsible investing criteria.
Investment decisions for the Fund are made by the Adviser based on a bottom-up analysis of an issuer’s business model, quantitative and qualitative factors, as well as the Adviser’s “responsible investing criteria” (i.e., specific exclusionary and inclusionary criteria based on environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) standards). The Adviser utilizes a proprietary matrix to measure an issuer’s ESG engagement. The Adviser’s proprietary matrix sets a minimum threshold level that must be achieved for an issuer’s securities or other instruments to satisfy the Fund’s responsible investing criteria. The Adviser sources information relating to its responsible investing criteria from publicly-available resources such as financial filings, presentations, news articles, and management discussions. The Adviser monitors an issuer’s conformity to its responsible investing criteria and each holding will be formally reviewed by the Adviser at least annually.

The Adviser believes that ESG industry standards will evolve over time, and such standards will continue to enhance the Adviser’s ability to identify and measure behaviors. The Adviser believes that certain products and business practices of an issuer may be detrimental and incompatible with mainstream views of responsible investing. Therefore, certain exclusionary criteria are applied by the Adviser as a first step in determining an individual investment’s suitability for the Fund. Issuers whose business is primarily engaged in one of the following activities will be excluded from the Fund:

Weapons;
Tobacco;
Alcohol and Marijuana (for Recreational Purposes);
Gambling;
Pornography/Adult Entertainment;
Certain Fossil Fuels (including Coal Mining and Fracking Exploration);
Nuclear Fission (typically Power Plants);
International Norms Violations; and
Corporations or Sovereign Entities not adhering to the United Nations Global Compact Principles and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Multi-National Enterprises.
The Adviser considers any issuer whose business generates 10% or more of its revenues from one of the activities noted above to be “primarily engaged” in such activities and subject to exclusion. The Adviser may expand the list of exclusionary activities from time to time. The Adviser applies its exclusionary criteria to any investment considered for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio.

The Adviser believes that applying an exclusionary screen to issuers that are non-conforming to its ESG standards is an important first step, but believes it is also important to integrate those issuers that have a positive ESG impact or ESG mindfulness that meet the Adviser’s inclusionary criteria described in the objectives below. The Adviser believes that responsible issuers can reward shareholders while being mindful of their ESG impact. As a responsible investor, the Adviser seeks to invest with issuers providing positive leadership in the pursuit of the following objectives:

Environmental Objectives:

Reduce the negative operational impact and practices on the environment;
Reduce the use of scarce resources;
Reduce carbon emissions; and
Pursue resource efficiency, sustainability, and innovation.

Social Objectives:

Treat all constituencies in a proper and ethical manner;
Address all constituencies in a fair and equitable manner;
Promote health and well-being for all constituencies;
Protect sensitive data for all constituencies;
Market products in a sincere and factual approach;
Provide employees with development and opportunity in an appropriate workplace; and
Recognize barriers of underrepresented groups by supporting diversity and inclusion.

Governance Objectives:

Independent members of an issuers Board that provide checks and balances;
Diversification of backgrounds, skills, and philosophy among an issuers Board or executive officers;
Promote transparency and communication;
Exercise and supports law abidingness externally and from within;
Develop programs to measure and improve environmental impact and social practices;
Respect lenders rights and value similarly to shareholders; and
Advocate ethical standards in operations and dealings with customers, employees, regulators, business partners and the greater community.

At least 80% of the Fund’s assets will be comprised of investments of issuers satisfying the Adviser’s minimum threshold for the inclusionary criteria. The Adviser deems governmental securities of G7 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States) to be of the highest ESG quality. Governmental securities of non-G7 countries will be evaluated by the Adviser on a case-by-case basis for inclusion in the Fund’s investment portfolio.

The Fund defines fixed income securities to include: bills, notes, bonds, debentures, convertible bonds, loan participations, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, Rule 144A fixed income securities, zero coupon securities, syndicated loan assignments, sovereign debt and other evidence of indebtedness issued by U.S. or foreign corporations, governments, government agencies or government instrumentalities,
including floating-rate securities, commercial paper, preferred stock and fixed income-like equities. Convertible bonds, preferred stocks, and fixed income-like equities (e.g. special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”)) provide interest income and/or the potential for capital appreciation while having an effective maturity. Floating-rate securities provide interest income that can increase or decrease with interest rates. The Fund invests in individual fixed income securities without restriction as to issuer credit quality, capitalization or security maturity. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in lower-quality fixed income securities — commonly known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds. Junk bonds are generally rated lower than Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) or lower than BBB- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group (“S&P”). The Fund may invest in junk bonds that are in default, subject to bankruptcy or reorganization. High yield bonds have a higher expected rate of default than higher quality bonds.
The Adviser seeks to manage duration, currency, and default risks. Although the Adviser will take macro factors into consideration, the portfolio duration is primarily driven by bottom-up investment opportunities. Under normal market conditions, the Adviser will generally pursue a portfolio duration of 2 to 4. Duration is a measure of sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. For example, a security with a duration of 2 would be expected to decrease in price 2% for every 1% rise in interest rates (the inverse is true as well).
The Adviser manages default risk by selecting securities of issuers that it believes will pay interest and principal regardless of their credit rating, based upon the Adviser’s credit analysis of each issuer. The Adviser may also select securities that are in default, subject to bankruptcy or reorganization where the Adviser believes the risks to be consistent with capital preservation, based on the Adviser’s analysis of an issuer’s liquidation value or post-bankruptcy or post-reorganization value.
The Adviser manages foreign currency risk by investing primarily in securities denominated in U.S. dollars, such as Yankee bonds. If the Fund were to invest in foreign currency denominated securities, the Fund restricts such activity to less than 35% of the Fund’s total assets. When deemed appropriate, the Adviser may hedge the foreign currency exposure typically, and primarily, with forward currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties.
The Fund is “non-diversified” for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), which means that the Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. However, the adviser manages the impact of the risk of each investment by a considered analysis of appropriate sizing and portfolio diversification.
The Fund may engage in active trading of its portfolio, resulting in a high turnover rate.
There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions or spreads, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the portfolio turnover rate of the Fund was 104.44%.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in both investment grade and non-investment grade debt, preferred stock, convertible bonds (i.e., debt securities that provide the Fund with a right or an obligation to exchange the debt security for a predetermined number of shares in the issuing
company), bank loans, high yield bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) and income producing equities (collectively, “Securities”) that CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), the Fund’s investment adviser, deems appropriate for the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities and income producing equities. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in fixed income securities. The Fund will invest in fixed income securities of various credit qualities (i.e., investment grade and below investment grade (i.e., junk bonds)) and maturities (i.e., long-term, intermediate and short-term). The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in below investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund will invest in individual fixed income securities without restriction as to duration. The Fund’s investment in below investment grade fixed income securities may include distressed securities, which are fixed income securities issued by companies experiencing significant financial or business difficulties such as bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation proceedings. The Fund will invest primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated securities but may invest up to 35% of its assets in foreign fixed income securities including sovereign debt and foreign currency-denominated securities. The Fund may hedge the foreign currency exposure by investing in forward currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties. The Fund may also invest up to 35% of its assets in income producing equities that either have a substantial dividend yield or where the Adviser believes the issuing company will distribute significant assets over a certain period of time. The Fund’s investments will be diversified across individual issuers and industries. The Fund, however, will invest without restriction as to issuer credit quality, or security maturity.

Although the Adviser will take macro factors (i.e., the effect of interest rates on the Fund’s investments) into consideration, the Fund’s portfolio construction is primarily driven by bottom-up investment analysis. This means that the Adviser looks at Securities on an individual basis to determine if a Security is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund’s buy and sell decisions are driven by the Adviser’s investment process. The Fund may hold Securities until maturity but will sell a Security when the Adviser determines a Security is no longer an attractive investment opportunity consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, when a more attractive investment opportunity becomes available or to satisfy redemption requests. In addition, a Security may be purchased at a premium or discount and/or sold prior to maturity where the Adviser believes it is advantageous to do so. The Fund may invest up to 15% of the value of its total assets to effect short sales of securities, including up to 10% in short sales of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to hedge the portfolio if the Adviser believes it is consistent with achieving the Fund’s investment objective. Other than for temporary purposes, the Fund will not borrow in order to gain leverage.

The Fund may engage in active trading of its portfolio, resulting in a high turnover rate.

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.
Principal Risks
Performance
performance from year to year for Institutional Class shares. The Average Annual Total Returns table also demonstrates these risks by showing how average annual returns for the Fund’s Institutional Class and Retail Class shares for the one year, five year, and ten year periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance as well as the performance of two categories of mutual funds comprised
of funds that are managed with similar investment strategies to the Fund. Performance data for the classes varies based on differences in their fee and expense structures. Performance for Retail Class shares would be lower as expenses for Retail Class shares are higher.

Effective on May 12, 2023, the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, a series of RiverPark Funds Trust (the “Predecessor Fund”) reorganized into the Fund, a newly-created series of the Trust (the “Reorganization”). For periods prior to the Reorganization the performance figures for Institutional Class and Retail Class shares reflect the historical performance of the Institutional Class and Retail Class shares, respectively, of the Predecessor Fund. Cohanzick Management, LLC, an affiliated entity of the Adviser, served as the investment sub-adviser of the Predecessor Fund, and David K. Sherman, the Fund’s sole portfolio manager, served as the sole portfolio manager of the Predecessor Fund since the Predecessor Fund’s inception. The Fund has adopted the performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.crossingbridgefunds.com or by calling the Fund toll-free at 888-898-2780.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred or other tax-advantaged arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”). The after-tax returns are shown for Institutional Class shares only and after-tax returns for Retail Class shares will vary.
In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax benefit to the investor.
