Investment Overview

The Gotham Enhanced Return Fund (the "Fund") is a long/short U.S. equity fund with a net long exposure of 100% (e.g., 170% long vs. 70% short = 100% net long). The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation greater than that of the S&P 500® Index over a full market cycle. Joel Greenblatt and Robert Goldstein are the Managing Principals and Co-CIOs of Gotham Asset Management, LLC, the Advisor to this Fund.

Investment Strategy & Process

Gotham's proprietary equity research and risk controls are used to select long and short stock portfolios primarily from the U.S. large and mid-cap range.

The Co-CIOs and their team of equity analysts employ Gotham’s proprietary analytical framework to evaluate stocks within the coverage universe on measures of absolute and relative value.

The long portfolio is rebalanced daily to weight most heavily those stocks that are priced at the largest discount to Gotham's assessment of value. In general, as a company appears cheaper its weight in the portfolio increases.

Similarly, the short portfolio is rebalanced daily to weight most heavily those short positions selling at the largest premium to Gotham's measures of value.

Risk for the Fund's integrated long/short portfolio is managed following a disciplined proprietary process limiting concentration in any one company, industry or sector. In addition, gross and net exposures are managed daily to remain within carefully defined ranges.

*The net long exposures are approximate and are the targeted exposures during most market environments.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares upon redemption may be worth more or less than their original cost. The performance quoted does not reflect a 1% redemption fee imposed on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase.   Returns would have been lower if certain expenses had not been reduced or reimbursed. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For performance current to the most recent month-end, please click here.

The S&P 500 Total Return Index is a commonly followed equity index and is generally considered a barometer of the U.S. equity market. Returns for the S&P 500 Total Return Index include the reinvestment of income and do not include transaction fees, management fees or any other costs. The performance and volatility of the fund will be different than those of the index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index.

Effective August 28, 2019, the prospectus was updated to reflect that the fund utilizes one or more swap agreements in its investment program. Accordingly, “Other Expenses” has been restated to reflect estimated expenses that would have been incurred by the Fund if such strategy change was implemented for the entire fiscal year. “Other Expenses” does not include direct or indirect costs associated with the swap(s). Costs associated with swaps include any fees paid to the swap counterparty and the costs associated with the underlying reference assets including dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short. Such costs have the effect of reducing the return of the swap(s). The Fund’s performance is net of all such embedded swap fees and expenses. “Other Expenses” previously included a separate line item for “Dividend and Interest Expense on Securities Sold Short,” which expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 were 1.48%.

2Gotham Asset Management, LLC (“Gotham” or the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses”, dividend and interest expense on securities sold short, interest, extraordinary items, and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 2.15% (on an annual basis) of average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation will remain in place until January 31, 2022, unless the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) approves its earlier termination. The Adviser is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, such amounts reduced or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the date on which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. The Adviser is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Fund, subject to certain limitations, for fees it waived and Fund expenses it paid to the extent the total annual fund expenses do not exceed the limits described above or any lesser limits in effect at the time of the reimbursement. No recoupment will occur unless the Fund’s expenses are below the Expense Limitation. 

The Gotham Enhanced Return Fund’s gross expense ratio is estimated to be 2.19%. The net expense ratio is 2.15% and the management fee is 2%.

Mutual fund investing involves risks, including possible loss of principal. It is anticipated that the funds will frequently adjust the size of positions and thus may experience high portfolio turnover which may increase brokerage costs. Certain funds short securities and/or utilize leverage. Short sales theoretically involve unlimited loss potential since the market price of securities sold short may continuously increase. Leverage could result in greater losses than if the funds were not leveraged. Certain funds utilize swap agreements in their investment programs. The use of derivatives such as swaps exposes the funds to additional risks including increased volatility, lack of liquidity and possible losses greater than the fund’s initial investment. In addition, certain funds invest in large, mid and small cap companies. Small and mid cap equity securities may be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of larger companies. Please see each Fund’s prospectus and fact sheet for additional risks.

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the funds carefully before investing.
