| 1 | A 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") will be assessed when Class C shares are redeemed within 12 months after initial purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker dealer was not paid a commission at the time of initial purchase. | |
| 2 | "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" will not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets that will be disclosed in the Fund's Annual and Semi-annual Financials and Additional Information in the financial highlights table, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses". |
| 3 | Private Capital Management, LLC ("Private Capital" 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, excluding taxes, fees and expenses attributable to a distribution or service plan adopted by FundVantage Trust (the "Trust"), "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses," interest, extraordinary items |
and brokerage commissions do not exceed 1.20% (on an annual basis) of the Fund's average daily net assets (the "Expense Limitation"). Prior to September 1, 2019 the Expense Limitation was 1.10%. The Expense Limitation will remain in place until August 31, 2027, unless the Board of Trustees of 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 operating expenses do not exceed the limits described above or any lesser limits in effect at the time of reimbursement. No recoupment will occur unless the Fund's expenses are below the Expense Limitation amount.
Expense 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's Class C shares, Class I shares and Class R shares 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 (reflecting any contractual fee waivers). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | ||||||
| Class C | $324 | $724 | $1,251 | $2,694 | |||||
| Class I | $123 | $418 | $735 | $1,632 | |||||
| Class R | $174 | $572 | $996 | $2,177 |
You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | ||||||
| Class C | $224 | $724 | $1,251 | $2,694 | |||||
| Class I | $123 | $418 | $735 | $1,632 | |||||
| Class R | $174 | $572 | $996 | $2,177 |
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 transaction 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 14% of the average value of its portfolio.
Summary of Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund, under normal circumstances, primarily invests in common stocks of companies listed on stock exchanges in North America. While the Fund focuses its investments in smaller capitalization companies, there are no set limits on the market capitalizations of the companies in which the Fund may invest.
The Adviser applies a fundamental value, research driven investment approach. The Adviser seeks to identify businesses that it believes are significantly mispriced by the public market. The Adviser values companies using a variety of measures, including an estimate of a company's capacity to generate discretionary cash flow (cash flow from operations after required capital expenditures) over time and the long-term value of its assets. The Adviser seeks to identify companies that are out of favor, underappreciated or misunderstood, and thereby trade at a significant discount to the Adviser's estimation of long-term intrinsic value.
The Adviser looks for companies that it believes have entrenched market positions or sustainable competitive advantages; competent management whose interests are aligned with creating long-term shareholder value; corporate cultures that are consistent with good governance and appropriately responsive to shareholders - the company's ultimate owners; and the ability to compete effectively and succeed under various industry and broader economic scenarios. Consistent with its primary objective of achieving long-term capital appreciation, the Adviser generally expects to hold its investment in a company for a period of 3 to 5 years.
2
The Adviser continually re-evaluates companies in which it has invested and will scale back or exit a position as a company's market price approaches the Adviser's price target or when a change in a fundamental aspect of the company or its operating environment materially affects the Adviser's investment view. The Adviser will often continue to hold, or add to, positions with declining share prices so long as the factors driving the price decline do not result in a negative revision to the Adviser's overall investment assessment of the company.
The Fund is a diversified fund, but nevertheless has invested a significant portion of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers, which may cause the Fund's value to fluctuate more widely than some other diversified funds. As a result of the Fund's investment approach and the relative price movements of certain Fund holdings, at times the Fund's holdings profile may approximate a portfolio of securities with percentage weightings typically associated with a non-diversified fund.
Summary of Principal Risks
The Fund is subject to the principal risks summarized below. The order of the below risk factors does not indicate the significance of any particular risk factor and the relative significance of each risk below may change over time. These risks could adversely affect the Fund's net asset value ("NAV"), yield and total return. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
| ● | Common Stock Risk: Because the Fund normally invests a substantial portion of its assets in common stocks, the value of the Fund's portfolio will be affected by changes in stock markets. Common stock represents an equity (ownership) interest in a company or other entity. At times, the stock markets can be volatile, and stock prices can change drastically. This market risk will affect the Fund's net asset value, which will fluctuate as the values of the Fund's portfolio securities and other assets change. Not all stock prices change uniformly or at the same time, and not all stock markets move in the same direction at the same time. In addition, other factors can adversely affect a particular stock's price (for example, poor management decisions, poor earnings reports by an issuer, loss of major customers, competition, major litigation against an issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting an industry). Not all of these factors nor their affects can be predicted. |
| ● | Currency Translation Risk: A significant number of companies in which the Fund invests rely on markets outside the United States for a portion of their operating revenues. These revenues are frequently denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, these companies face a risk that revenues can be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the local currencies in which revenues are denominated and the U.S. dollar. A relative decline in the value of the U.S. dollar would have the effect of increasing the dollar amount of revenues generated in local currencies, while a relative strengthening of the U.S. dollar would have the opposite effect. While the Adviser evaluates potential currency translation effects along with other factors in making investment decisions, the Adviser does not take steps to hedge potential currency translation risks. |
| ● | Focused Portfolio Risk: The Adviser seeks to invest Fund assets in the equity securities (stock) of companies that the Adviser believes are currently being undervalued by the market. As a result, individual securities held by the Fund may appreciate significantly over time and may grow to comprise in excess of 5% of the Fund's invested assets. Collectively, such positions may comprise materially in excess of 25% of the Fund's overall portfolio. The Adviser is likely to continue to hold such positions so long as they meet the Adviser's investment criteria. As a result, from time-to-time the Fund's portfolio may reflect a concentration profile more typically associated with a non-diversified fund. This may cause the Fund's value to fluctuate more widely than some other diversified funds. |
| ● | Foreign Securities Risk: The risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities, including Canadian securities, may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to less liquid markets, and adverse economic, political, diplomatic, financial, and regulatory factors. Foreign governments also may impose limits on investment and repatriation and impose taxes. Any of these events could cause the value of the Fund's investments to decline. |
| ● | Management Risk: As with any managed fund, the Adviser may not be successful in selecting the best-performing securities or investment techniques, and the Fund's performance may lag behind that of similar funds. In particular, the Fund faces the risk of loss as a result of mis-estimation or other errors by the Adviser in its fundamental analysis regarding the companies in which the Fund invests. The Adviser may also miss out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of the opportunity are tied up in other investments, potentially including investments that may not perform as well as the investment opportunity. |
3
| ● | Market Risk: The values of, and/or the income generated by, securities held by the Fund may decline due to factors that are specifically related to a particular company, as well as general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation rates and/or investor expectations concerning such rates, changes in interest rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. Securities markets are volatile and may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, regulatory, political, or economic developments. Different sectors of the market and different security types may react differently to such developments. Geopolitical events, including terrorism, tensions or open conflict between nations, or political or economic dysfunction within some nations that are global economic powers, may lead to instability in world economies and markets, may lead to increased market volatility, and may have adverse long-term effects. Events such as environmental and natural disasters, public health crises (such as epidemics and pandemics), social unrest, and cybersecurity incidents, and governments' reactions to such events, could cause uncertainty in the markets and may adversely affect the performance of the global economy. |
| ● | Sector Risk: Although the Fund may not "concentrate" (invest 25% or more of its net assets) in any industry, it may focus its investments from time to time on one or more economic sectors. To the extent that it does so, developments affecting companies in that sector or sectors will likely have a magnified effect on the Fund's NAV and total returns and may subject the Fund to greater risk of loss. Accordingly, the Fund could be considerably more volatile than a broad-based market index or other mutual funds that are diversified across a greater number of securities and sectors. |
| ● | Small- and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk: The risk that securities of small or mid-capitalization companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than securities of larger, more established companies. Generally the smaller the company size, the greater the risk. Small and mid-capitalization companies may have limited product lines or financial resources, or may be dependent upon a small or inexperienced management group and their securities may trade less frequently and in lower volume than the securities of larger companies, which could lead to higher transaction costs. |
| ● | Value Investing Risk: A value-oriented investment approach is subject to the risk that a security believed to be undervalued does not appreciate in value as anticipated or experiences a decline in value. The returns on "value" equity securities may be less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. |
Performance Information
The bar chart and table below provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing: (a) changes in the performance of the Fund's Class I shares from year to year; and (b) how the average annual total return of the Fund's Class I shares compares to those of a regulatorily required broad-based securities market index (Russell 1000® Equal Weight Index) (the "Regulatory Benchmark") and the Russell 2000® Index (the "Performance Benchmark"). The Performance Benchmark is generally more representative of the market sectors and/or types of investments in which the Fund invests or to which the Fund has exposure. The Fund has included in the table below the performance of the Regulatory Benchmark, which represents a broader measure of market performance, to comply with new regulatory requirements.
The Fund's past performance (both before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund's website at www.pcmvaluefund.com or by calling the Fund toll-free at (888) 568-1267.
The annual returns in the bar chart are for the Fund's Class I shares and do not reflect sales loads. If sales loads were reflected, returns would be lower than those shown. In addition, total returns would have been lower had certain fees and expenses not been waived or reimbursed.

| 1 | Performance shown for the period from January 1, 1987 to May 28, 2010 is the performance of a corporate defined contribution plan account (the "Predecessor Account"), which transferred its assets to the Fund in connection with the Fund's commencement of operations on May 28, 2010 and does not reflect any taxes that you may pay as a result of any distributions or sale of shares of the Fund. The Predecessor Account's performance has been adjusted to reflect the monthly deduction of the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement applicable to Class I shares of the Fund effective at the Fund's commencement of operations on May 28, 2010. The Class C shares and the Class R shares have not been issued. |
| 2 | The Russell 2000® Index is an unmanaged index measuring the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index. The Russell 3000® Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization. | |
| 3 |
The Russell 1000® Equal Weight Index is an unmanaged broad-based securities market index measuring the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000® Index. The Russell 3000® Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization. As an "equal weight" index, the Russell 1000® Equal Weight Index equally weights each industry within the index and then equally weights the companies within each industry. This methodology is intended to capture representative performance of the investable companies in the U.S. equity market. |

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown and are not relevant if you hold your shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown only for Class I shares; after-tax returns for Class C and Class R shares will vary. The Class C shares and the Class R shares would have had substantially similar annual returns because the shares are invested in the same portfolio. Annual returns would differ only to the extent that the Classes have different expenses. The Predecessor Account was not registered as a mutual fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), and therefore was not subject to certain investment restrictions, limitations and diversification requirements imposed by the 1940 Act and Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If the Predecessor Account had been registered under the 1940 Act its performance may have been different.

Tax Information
The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains. Such distributions are not currently taxable when shares are held through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. However, subsequent withdrawals from any tax-deferred account in which the shares are held may be subject to federal income tax.
Payments to Broker-Dealers or Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and/or for related services to shareholders. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
