Chiron Capital Allocation Fund

Chiron SMid Opportunities Fund

(each, a "Fund" and together, the "Funds")

 

Supplement dated April 20, 2020

to each Fund's Summary Prospectus (together, the "Summary Prospectuses")

and the Funds' Prospectus (the "Prospectus"),

each dated March 1, 2020.

 

This supplement provides new and additional information beyond that contained in the Summary Prospectuses and Prospectus, and should be read in conjunction with the Summary Prospectuses and Prospectus.

 

  I. The Chiron Capital Allocation Fund may invest in A-Shares of companies based in the People's Republic of China that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange through the Shanghai – Hong Kong and Shenzhen – Hong Kong Stock Connect programs. Accordingly, the Chiron Capital Allocation Fund's Summary Prospectus and the Prospectus are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

  1. The following disclosure is hereby added to the "Principal Investment Strategies" section of the Chiron Capital Allocation Fund's Summary Prospectus, and the corresponding section of the Prospectus:

 

The Fund may invest in A-Shares of companies based in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange through the Shanghai – Hong Kong and Shenzhen – Hong Kong Stock Connect programs ("Stock Connect"). Stock Connect is a mutual stock market access program designed to, among other things, enable foreign investments in the PRC.

 

  2. The following disclosure is hereby added to the "Principal Risks" section of the Chiron Capital Allocation Fund's Summary Prospectus, and the corresponding section of the Prospectus:

 

Stock Connect Investing Risk — Trading through Stock Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund's investments and returns, including a daily quota that limits the maximum net purchases under Stock Connect each day. In addition, investments made through Stock Connect are subject to relatively untested trading, clearance and settlement procedures. Moreover, A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect generally may only be sold or otherwise transferred through Stock Connect. The Fund's investments in A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect are generally subject to Chinese securities regulations and listing rules. While overseas investors currently are exempt from paying capital gains or value added taxes on income and gains from investments in A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect, these tax rules could be changed, which could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund. Stock Connect operates only on days when both the PRC and Hong Kong markets are open for trading and when banks in both markets are open on the corresponding settlement days. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to the risk of price fluctuations of A-Shares when Stock Connect is not trading.

 

  3. The following disclosure is hereby added to the "More Information about Principal Risks" section of the Prospectus:

 

Stock Connect Investing Risk (Chiron Capital Allocation Fund) — The Fund may invest in A-Shares of companies based in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange through the Shanghai – Hong Kong and Shenzhen – Hong Kong Stock Connect programs ("Stock Connect"). Trading through Stock Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund's investments and returns, including a daily quota that limits the maximum net purchases under Stock Connect each day. In addition, investments made through Stock Connect are subject to relatively untested trading, clearance and settlement procedures. Moreover, A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect generally may only be sold or otherwise transferred through Stock Connect. The Fund's investments in A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect are generally subject to Chinese securities regulations and listing rules. While overseas investors currently are exempt from paying capital gains or value added taxes on income and gains from investments in A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect, these tax rules could be changed, which could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund. Stock Connect operates only on days when both the PRC and Hong Kong markets are open for trading and when banks in both markets are open on the corresponding settlement days. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to the risk of price fluctuations of A-Shares during the time when Stock Connect is not trading. Because of the way in which A-Shares are held in Stock Connect, the Fund may not be able to exercise the rights of a shareholder and may be limited in its ability to pursue claims against the issuer of a security, and may suffer losses in the event the depository of the Shanghai Stock Exchange or Shenzhen Stock Exchange becomes insolvent. Stock Connect is a relatively new program. Further developments are likely and there can be no assurance as to the program's continued existence or whether future developments regarding the program may restrict or adversely affect the Fund's investments or returns. In addition, the application and interpretation of the laws and regulations of Hong Kong and the PRC, and the rules, policies or guidelines published or applied by relevant regulators and exchanges in respect of Stock Connect are uncertain, and they may have a detrimental effect on the Fund's investments and returns.

 

  II. The Summary Prospectuses and Prospectus are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

  1. In the "Principal Risks" section of each of the Chiron Capital Allocation Fund's Summary Prospectus and the Chiron SMid Opportunities Fund's Summary Prospectus, and the corresponding sections of the Prospectus, the "Market Risk" disclosure is hereby deleted and replaced with the following disclosure:

 

Market Risk — The risk that the market value of an investment may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets for securities in which the Fund invests may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund's performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund.

 

  2. In the "More Information about Principal Risks" section of the Prospectus, the "Market Risk" disclosure is hereby deleted and replaced with the following disclosure:

 

Market Risk (Both Funds) — The risk that the market value of an investment may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. A Fund's NAV per share will fluctuate with the market prices of its portfolio securities. Market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the market as a whole. Markets for securities in which a Fund invests may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which a Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund's performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund. Recent examples include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines of large populations, and by businesses, including changes to operations and reducing staff. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may be short term or may last for an extended period of time, and in either case could result in a substantial economic downturn or recession.

 

  3. In the "More Information about Principal Risks" section of the Prospectus, the second paragraph of the "Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk" disclosure is hereby deleted.
