II. Effective immediately, the Prospectus is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

1. The following disclosure is hereby added to the “FS Chiron Real Asset Fund - Principal Risks” section: 

 

Shareholder Concentration Risk — A large percentage of the Fund’s shares are held by a small number of shareholders, including persons and entities related to the Adviser. A large redemption by one or more of these shareholders could materially increase the Fund’s transaction costs, which would negatively impact the Fund’s performance and could cause adverse tax consequences for the remaining shareholders of the Fund.
