SCHNEIDER SMALL CAP VALUE FUND (Prospectus Summary) | SCHNEIDER SMALL CAP VALUE FUND
SUMMARY SECTION
Investment Goal
The Schneider Small Cap Value Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital growth

by investing primarily in common stocks of companies that have capitalizations

that are less than the largest company in the Russell 2000® Index ("small cap

companies") and which Schneider Capital Management Company (the "Adviser")

believes are undervalued. There can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve

its investment objective.

[1] The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive management fees and reimburse expenses to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) exceed 1.15%. In determining the Adviser's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account and could cause net Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed 1.15%: acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, extraordinary items, interest and taxes. This contractual limitation is in effect until December 31, 2012 and may not be terminated without the approval of the Board of Directors of The RBB Fund, Inc.
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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on

these assumptions your costs would be:

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 transactions 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

59.18% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets (including

borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in small cap companies. As

of November 30, 2011, the market capitalization range of the companies held by

the Fund was $4.9 million to $5.2 billion. Please note that this range is as of

a particular point in time and is subject to change. The Fund invests primarily

in common stock of companies the Adviser believes are undervalued. The fund may

invest in convertible securities without regard to their credit ratings. The

Fund may also invest up to 20% of the value of its net assets in securities of

foreign issuers, including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs").
Principal Risks
o The Fund invests in common stocks which are subject to market, economic and

business risks that will cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Therefore,

the value of your investment in the Fund may go up and down, sometimes rapidly

and unpredictably, and you could lose money. The value of securities convertible

into equity securities, such as warrants or convertible debt, is also affected

by prevailing interest rates, the credit quality of the issuer, and any call

provision.



o Stocks of small companies may be more volatile than, and not as readily

marketable as, those of larger companies. Small companies may also have limited

product lines, markets or financial resources and may be dependent on relatively

small or inexperienced management groups. Additionally, the trading volume of

small company securities may make them more difficult to sell than those of

larger companies.



o Value investing involves the risk that the Fund's investment in companies

whose securities are believed to be undervalued, relative to their underlying

profitability, will not appreciate in value as anticipated.



o Investing in foreign securities poses additional market risks since political

and economic events unique in a country or region will affect those markets and

their issuers and may not affect the U.S. economy or U.S. issuers. In addition,

investments in foreign securities are generally denominated in foreign currency.

As a result, changes in the value of those currencies compared to the U.S.

dollar may affect the value of the Fund's investments.
Risk/Return Information
The chart below illustrates the long-term performance of the Fund. The

information shows you how the Fund's performance has varied year by year and

provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The chart

assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions. As with all such

investments, past performance is not an indication of future results.

Performance reflects fee waivers in effect. If fee waivers were not in place,

the Fund's performance would be reduced. Updated performance information is

available at www.schneidercap.com or 1-888-520-3277.
