See the Prospectus for a more detailed description of the Fund’s risks. Investing involves risk. Main loss is possible.
The profitability of specialized finance companies and other financial companies is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly in response to changes in interest rates, as well as changes in general economic conditions. If the borrower of the alternative credit (as defined below) in which the Fund invests is unable to make its payments on a loan, the Fund may be significantly limited in its ability to collect principal and unpaid interest on this loan because (among other reasons) the Fund may have no direct recourse against the borrower or may otherwise be limited in its ability to directly enforce its rights under the loan, whether through the borrower or the platform through which this loan was issued, the loan may be unsecured or secured, and/or it may not be possible to initiate legal proceedings against the defaulting borrower . Substantially all of the alternative credit in which the Fund invests will not be guaranteed or insured by a third party. In addition, the Alternative Credit Instruments in which the Fund may invest will not be endorsed by any governmental authority. Prospective borrowers provide a variety of information regarding loan purpose, income, occupation, and employment status (if applicable) to lending platforms. In general, the platforms do not verify the majority of this information, which may be incomplete, inaccurate, false or misleading. Potential borrowers may misrepresent any information they provide to platforms, including their intentions regarding the use of loan proceeds. Alternative Credit Instruments are generally not rated by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSRO”). However, these unrated instruments are considered to be of comparable quality to securities falling into one of the rating categories used by these NRSROs to classify junk bonds (i.e. securities below the investment grade). Accordingly, the Fund’s investments in unrated alternative credit instruments constitute highly risky and speculative investments similar to investments in junk bonds, although the Fund is not permitted to invest in loans that are investment grade subprime at the time of investment. Although the Fund is not permitted to invest in subprime grade loans at the time of investment, an investment in Shares of the Fund should be considered speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of loss of ‘investment. There can be no assurance that payments due on the underlying loans, including alternative credit, will be made.
Diversification does not assure profit or guarantee against loss.
The Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses should be considered carefully before investing. The Fund’s prospectus and most recent periodic reports contain this and other important information about the investment company and can be obtained by visiting rivernorth.com/literature or by calling 844.569.4750.
