Overview

The RiverPark Short Term High Yield Fund focuses on short term high yield securities for which CrossingBridge believes credit ratings do not accurately reflect a company's ability to meet their short term credit obligations. The Fund seeks to make investments in fixed income securities of companies that have announced or, in CrossingBridge 's opinion, will announce a funding event, reorganization or other corporate event that they believe will have a positive impact on a company's ability to repay their debt. Additionally, the Fund will invest in securities in which it perceives there is limited near term risk of default. In CrossingBridge's view the risks associated with investing in short term high yield debt are very different from investing in long-dated paper in which operating performance and business sustainability are of primary concern.

CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC (CrossingBridge) of Pleasantville, New York serves as the Sub-Adviser to the RiverPark Short Term High Yield Fund.
