Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. You may qualify for sales charge discounts on purchases of Class A shares of the Fund if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in the Fund. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary and under the subheading “Reducing the Initial Sales Charge on Purchases of Class A Shares” on page 71 of the Fund’s Prospectus.

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement		0.70	%		0.45	%		0.40	%

A 1.00% Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) is imposed on redemptions of Class A shares made within 12 months of a purchase of $1 million or more of Class A shares on which no front-end sales charge was paid.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay operating expenses in order to limit the Fund’s total expenses (excluding brokerage and other investment-related costs, interest, taxes, dues, fees and other charges of governments and their agencies, extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification, other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business and acquired fund fees and expenses) to 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A shares, 0.45% for Class I shares, and 0.40% for Class R6 shares. This expense limitation agreement will remain in place until January 31, 2024 and may not be terminated by the Advisor prior to that date. The expense limitation may be revised or terminated by the Fund’s board of trustees if the board consents to a revision or termination as being in the best interests of the Fund. The Advisor is entitled to recoup from the Fund or class the fees and/or operating expenses previously waived or reimbursed for a period of 3 years from the date of such waiver or reimbursement, provided that such recoupment does not cause the Fund’s expense ratio (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (i) the Fund’s expense limitation at the time of the waiver or reimbursement and (ii) the Fund’s expense limitation at the time of recoupment.





		Fund Summary		RBC Impact Bond Fund

Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost 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 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. The costs for the Fund reflect the net expenses of the Fund that result from the contractual expense limitation in the first year only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:



	Class A		Class I		Class R6
One Year	$	444	$	46	$	41
Three Years	$	590	$	188	$	155
Five Years	$	750	$	342	$	279
Ten Years	$	1,213	$	791	$	641

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, 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 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 33% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in fixed income securities. The fixed income securities in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, bonds, municipal securities, mortgage-related, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and obligations of U.S. governments and their agencies. The Fund may invest in securities with fixed, floating or variable rates of interest.

The Advisor will select investments that seek to generate returns while simultaneously meeting the Fund’s impact objective, which is to make investments that seek to achieve positive aggregate social and environmental impact outcomes. The Advisor will prioritize investment returns over achieving positive impact outcomes with respect to security selection and portfolio management decisions.

The positive aggregate social and environmental impact outcomes that the Advisor seeks to achieve are:

1)	Alignment with defined social and environmental impact themes. The social theme comprises affordable homeownership, multi-family housing, education, health and wellness, and small business, while environmental themes are energy and climate change, and water and sanitation.

2)	Alignment with one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global agenda to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by the year 2030.





		Fund Summary		RBC Impact Bond Fund

Examples of stakeholders that the Fund seeks to benefit include the environment/planet, low-to-moderate income individuals/families, Black, Indigenous and other People of Color (BIPOC) individuals, and women.

The Advisor employs its impact assessment methodology to measure the investments’ expected and actual impact on these themes. This process involves:

1)	Preliminary Assessment: Every security is analyzed to verify eligibility and fit with the impact goals.

2)	Research: Each security undergoes an in-depth review and analysis to determine its level of expected impact. The data, sources, and impact measurements/metrics are documented in the Advisor’s research database, and this information is updated throughout the investment lifecycle.

3)	Recommendation: If a security meets both the impact and return objectives of the Fund, it will be recommended for inclusion in the Fund.

Monitoring: Impact data from the research database is aggregated at the Fund level and monitored by the Advisor on an ongoing basis to compare the actual impact of the Fund to its expected impact and impact objectives. When monitoring at the portfolio level indicates that a security is no longer expected to achieve its intended impact or no longer aligns with the Fund’s impact objectives, the Advisor will seek an appropriate course of action, which may include exiting the investment.

5)	Reporting: Aggregated impact results are published in an Annual Impact Investing Report on the Advisor’s website. The Annual Impact Investing Report includes both portfolio-level reporting and disclosures on the impact measurement process.

The Fund will primarily invest in investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund may invest in securities of any market capitalization, duration, or maturity. The Fund will invest in a portfolio of fixed income securities denominated in U.S. Dollars.

In addition, the Fund may invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from or directly linked to an underlying asset. In particular, the Fund may use interest rate futures to manage portfolio risk. The Fund’s exposure to derivatives will vary. For purposes of meeting its 80% investment policy, the Fund may include derivatives that have characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments.

The Advisor uses a bottom-up, fundamental process combined with top-down risk management tools designed to meet the objectives of achieving a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Principal Risks

The value of your investment in the Fund will change daily, which means that you could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit





		Fund Summary		RBC Impact Bond Fund

Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. By itself, the Fund is not a balanced investment program. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its goal. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include:

Investment Grade Securities Risk. The Fund primarily invests in investment grade rated securities. Investment grade rated securities are assigned credit ratings by ratings agencies on the basis of the creditworthiness or risk of default of a bond issue. Rating agencies review, from time to time, such assigned ratings of the securities and may subsequently downgrade the rating if economic circumstances impact the relevant bond issues.

Mortgage-Related Securities Risk. Mortgage-related securities represent direct or indirect participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property, and include pass-through securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”). Mortgage pass-through securities are securities representing interests in “pools” of mortgages in which payments of both interest and principal on the securities are made monthly, in effect “passing through” monthly payments made by the individual borrowers on the underlying residential mortgage loans. Early repayment of principal on mortgage pass-through securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. CMOs are hybrid instruments with characteristics of both mortgage-backed bonds and mortgage pass-through securities. CMOs are issued in multiple classes, and each class may have its own interest rate and/or maturity. The value of some classes in which the Fund invests may be more volatile and may be subject to higher risk of non-payment.

Like other fixed-income securities, when interest rates rise, the value of a mortgage-related security generally will decline; however, when interest rates decline, the value of mortgage-related securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed-income securities. Upward trends in interest rates tend to lengthen the average life of mortgage-related securities and also cause the value of outstanding securities to drop. Thus, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of these securities held by the Fund would tend to drop and the portfolio-weighted average life of such securities held by the Fund may tend to lengthen due to this effect. Longer-term securities tend to experience more price volatility.

Municipal Obligations Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in a municipality’s financial status may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments when due. This could decrease the Fund’s income or adversely impact the ability to seek a high level of current income and capital growth over the long term.

Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s yield and value will fluctuate as the general level of interest rates change. During periods when interest rates are low, the Fund’s yield may also be low. When interest rates increase, securities held by the Fund will generally decline in value. Interest rate





		Fund Summary		RBC Impact Bond Fund

changes are influenced by a number of factors including government policy, inflation expectations, and supply and demand. Municipal securities may be issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, where payment and delivery take place at a future date. The Fund assumes the risk that the value of the security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price.

Impact Investing Risk. The Fund’s impact investing criteria could cause it to perform differently compared to funds that do not apply such criteria. The application of these criteria may result in the Fund’s forgoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, or selling securities for impact investing reasons when it might be otherwise disadvantageous for it to do so. In addition, there is a risk that the securities identified by the impact criteria do not operate as expected in achieving the expected impact. There are significant differences in interpretations of what it means for a security to achieve a positive impact. Although the Advisor believes its definitions are reasonable, the portfolio decisions it makes may differ with others investors’ or advisers’ views.

LIBOR Discontinuance or Unavailability Risk. The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that LIBOR will either cease to be provided by any administrator, or no longer be representative (i) immediately after December 31, 2021 for one-week and two-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings and (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023 for the remaining U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings. As of January 1, 2022, as a result of supervisory guidance from U.S. regulators, some U.S. regulated entities have ceased entering into new LIBOR contracts with limited exceptions. While publication of the one-, three- and six- month Sterling LIBOR settings has continued on the basis of a changed methodology (known as “synthetic LIBOR”), this rate has been designated by the FCA as unrepresentative of the underlying market it seeks to measure and is solely available for use in legacy transactions and will cease immediately after the final publication on March 31, 2023. Certain bank-sponsored committees in other jurisdictions, including Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan and Switzerland, have selected alternative reference rates denominated in other currencies. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022 (or on a later date, for those LIBOR tenors which are expected to continue until June 2023) LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Fund’s portfolio.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives and other similar instruments (collectively referred to as “derivatives”), including options contracts, futures contracts, forwards, options on futures contracts and swap agreements (including, but not limited to, credit default swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds), may be riskier than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The performance of





		Fund Summary		RBC Impact Bond Fund

derivatives depends largely on the performance of their underlying asset reference, rate, or index; therefore, derivatives often have risks similar to those risks of the underlying asset, reference rate or index, in addition to other risks. However, the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the underlying asset, reference, rate or index. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than it would have been if it had not used derivatives. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives are traded bilaterally between two parties, which exposes the Fund to heightened liquidity risk, valuation risk and counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including the credit risk of the derivative counterparty, compared to other types of investments. Changes in the value of a derivative may also create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. Certain derivatives are subject to exchange trading and/or mandatory clearing (which interposes a central clearinghouse to each participant’s derivative transaction). Exchange trading, central clearing and margin requirements are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity and transparency, but do not make a derivatives transaction risk-free and may subject the Fund to increased costs. The use of derivatives may not be successful, and certain of the Fund’s transactions in derivatives may not perform as expected, which may prevent the Fund from realizing the intended benefits, and could result in a loss to the Fund. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation, as well as liquidity risk. The use of derivatives is also subject to operational risk which refers to risk related to potential operational issues, including documentation issues, settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error, as well as legal risk which refers to the risk of loss resulting from insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of counterparty, or legality or enforceability of a contract.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Payments on asset-backed securities depend upon assets held by the issuer and collections of the underlying loans. The value of these securities depends on many factors, including changing interest rates, the availability of information about the pool and its structure, the credit quality of the underlying assets, the market’s perception of the servicer of the pool, and any credit enhancement provided. In certain market conditions, asset-backed securities may experience volatile fluctuations in value and periods of illiquidity.

Market Risk. The markets in which the Fund invests may go down in value, sometimes sharply and unpredictably. The success of the Fund’s investment program may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, and national and international political circumstances. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair the Fund’s profitability or result in losses. The Fund’s investments may be overweighted from time to time in one or more sectors, which will increase

the Fund’s exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those sectors.

Credit Spread Risk. The Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) deterioration to their credit quality. Any actual or perceived deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.

Issuer/Credit Risk. There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default on the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which could cause the Fund to lose money.

Prepayment Risk. The value of some mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities in which the Fund invests may fall due to unanticipated levels of principal prepayments that can occur when interest rates decline.

Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that a fixed income security’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original security. Call risk is a type of reinvestment risk. It is the possibility that during periods of falling interest rates, issuers may call securities with higher coupon or interest rates before maturity. If a security is called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income.

Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and its performance therefore will reflect in part the Advisor’s ability to make investment decisions that are suited to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.

Performance Information

The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual total returns (before and after taxes) compare with those of a broad-based securities index. The returns of Class A shares and Class R6 shares may be different than the returns of Class I shares shown in the bar chart and performance table because fees and expenses of the three classes differ. Past performance (before and after taxes) does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

The table below shows before and after-tax returns for Class I shares only. 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. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as qualified retirement plans. In some cases, returns after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be higher than returns before taxes because the calculations assume that the investor received a tax benefit for any loss incurred on the sale of the shares. The inception date of Class I shares and Class R6 shares of the Fund is December 18, 2017. The inception date of Class A shares of the Fund is January 28, 2020. Performance shown for Class A prior to its inception dates is based on the performance of Class I shares, adjusted to reflect the respective fees and expenses of Class A shares and the applicable sales charges.
