Investment Overview

The Gotham Neutral Fund (the "Fund") is a market neutral long/short U.S. equity fund. The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation with minimal correlation to the general stock market. 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 frequently 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 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 or sector. In addition, gross and net exposures are managed to remain within carefully defined ranges.

**The Gotham Neutral Fund is designed to be market neutral, which means the Fund seeks to achieve returns that are not closely correlated, in most cases, with the returns of the U.S. equity markets.

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.

Gotham 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 funds 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, 2021 with respect to the Gotham Absolute Return Fund, the Gotham Enhanced Return Fund, Gotham Index Plus Fund and the Gotham Neutral Fund, unless the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust (the "Trust") approves its earlier termination. Gotham is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Trust, such amounts reduced or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the date on which Gotham reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the fund. No recoupment will occur unless the fund's expenses are below the Expense Limitation. See the Prospectus for additional details.

The Gotham Neutral Fund’s gross expense ratio is estimated to be 2.73% inclusive of certain expenses related to dividend and interest expense on short sales estimated to be 0.46% and prior to waivers and/or expense reimbursements under the Expense Limitation.The gross expense ratio does not reflect dividends earned by the fund on its long positions estimated to be 1.86%.

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. Gotham Index Plus Fund and Gotham Short Strategies Fund 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. The prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the funds.
