Investment Overview

The Gotham Index Plus Fund (the "Fund") was created as an investment that seeks to more closely track an index than purely active funds by combining an index investment with an active long/short overlay. The Fund generally seeks 100% net long exposure by being 190% long vs. 90% short (100% index + active long/short overlay). The Fund seeks to outperform the S&P 500 over most annual periods. The Fund is not a passive index fund. 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

For each $100 invested in Gotham Index Plus, we start with $100 of U.S. stocks that seek to track the S&P 500® Index. Next, we select long and short positions (from a large cap investment universe) that we believe are the cheapest and most expensive, respectively, relative to our assessment of value. Finally, we net positions that appear in both the index portion and the actively managed long/short overlay, with the result being a portfolio with an overall exposure of approximately $190 long and $90 short.

For the active long/short overlay, 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 Fund also employs risk management, which follows 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.

The Gotham Index Plus Fund’s gross expense ratio is 1.15% and the management fee is 1%. Effective July 29, 2019, the prospectus was updated to reflect that the fund utilizes one or more swap agreements in its investment program. In addition, the fees and expenses for the fund have been updated to reflect that the fund has eliminated the investment of cash collateral from securities lending and associated expenses.

Gotham 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 1.15%, with respect to Institutional Class shares, (on an annual basis) and 1.40%, with respect to Investor Class shares, (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, 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.

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.
