The Prospectus is amended as follows: RBC FUNDS TRUST RBC BlueBay Absolute Return Fund (the Fund ) Supplement dated June 24, 2014 to the Prospectus dated November 27, 2013 (the Prospectus ) This Supplement provides additional information beyond that contained in the Prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus. I. The Fund will begin offering Class C shares on or about June 24, 2014. Therefore, on or about June 24, 2014, the Fund will offer three classes of shares: Class A, Class C, and Class I. II. III. The ticker symbol for the Fund s Class C shares is RBCRX. In the Fund Summary, the Fees and Expenses of the Fund table and Example table beginning on page 30 are replaced with the following: Class A Class C Class I Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases (as a % of offering price) 4.25% None None Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as a % of offering price) 1 None 1.00% None Redemption Fee (as a % of amount redeemed or exchanged within 30 days after the date of purchase) 2.00% 2.00% 2.00% Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment) Management Fees 0.75% 0.75% 0.75% Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees 0.25% 1.00% None Other Expenses 0.22% 0.22% 0.22% Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses 2 0.05% 0.05% 0.05% Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses 1.27% 2.02% 1.02% Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement 3 (0.02)% (0.02)% (0.02)% Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement 3 1.25% 2.00% 1.00% 1 A 1.00% CDSC is imposed on redemptions of Class A shares made within 12 months of a purchase of $1 million or more of Class A shares on which no front-end sales charge was paid. Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC. 2 Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses differ from the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights, which reflect the direct operating expenses of the Fund and do not include acquired fund fees and expenses. 3 The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay operating expenses in order to limit the Fund s total expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) to 1.20% (for Class A), 1.95% (for Class C), and 0.95% (for Class I). This expense limitation agreement will remain in place until January 31, 2015 and may not be terminated by the Advisor prior to that date. 3

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 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. The costs for the Fund reflect the net expenses of the Fund that result from the contractual expense waiver and assumption in the first year only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: Class A Class C Class I One Year $ 547 $ 303 $ 102 Three Years $ 809 $ 632 $ 323 Five Years $ 1,090 $ 1,086 $ 561 Ten Years $ 1,892 $ 2,346 $ 1,246 For Class C Shares, you would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares: Class C One Year $ 203 Three Years $ 632 Five Years $ 1,086 Ten Years $ 2,346 The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by showing how the Fund s average annual total returns (before and after taxes) compare with those of a broad-based securities index. As of the date of this Prospectus, Class A shares did not have a full year of performance and Class C shares had not commenced operations; therefore, no performance information is provided for Class A shares or Class C shares. The returns for Class A shares and Class C shares may be lower than the returns of Class I shares shown in the bar chart and performance table because expenses of the classes differ. Past performance (before and after taxes) does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Information on the Fund s performance can be obtained by visiting www.rbcgam.us or by calling 1-800-422-2766. RBC BlueBay Absolute Return Fund Class I Annual Total Returns The year-to-date return of Class I shares as of March 31, 2014 was 1.95%. 4

During the periods shown in the chart for the RBC BlueBay Absolute Return Fund: Quarter Year Returns Best quarter: Q4 2013 3.04% Worst quarter: Q1 2013-0.21% Performance Table The table below shows after-tax returns for Class I shares only. After-tax returns for the other classes will vary. 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 an investor s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as qualified retirement plans. The inception date of the Fund (Class I) is November 30, 2012. Average Annual Total Returns (for the periods ended December 31, 2013) Past Year Since Inception Class I Before Taxes 4.61% 4.98% Class I After Taxes on Distributions 4.29% 4.66% Class I After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares 2.60% 3.65% BofA Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes) V. The Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares section on page 36 is replaced with the following: 0.28% 0.28% You may purchase or redeem (sell) shares of the Funds by phone (1-800-422-2766), by mail (RBC Funds, c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, P.O. Box 701, Milwaukee, WI 53201-0701) or by wire. The following table provides the Funds minimum initial and subsequent investment requirements, which may be reduced or modified in some cases. Minimum Initial Investment: Class A Class C Class I $2,500 ($100 for Automatic Monthly Investment Plan) $1,000 ($100 for Automatic Monthly Investment Plan) $1,000,000 ($0 for Qualified Retirement Plans) Minimum Subsequent Investment: Class A and Class C $100 ($50 for Automatic Monthly Investment Plan) Class I $10,000 5

VI. The tables for Minimum Initial Investment and Minimum Additional Investment under the Shareholder Information-Investment Minimums section on page 62 are replaced with the following: Minimum Initial Investment Account Type Class A Class C Class I Regular Institutions or Individuals $ 2,500 $ 1,000 $ 1,000,000 Through qualified retirement benefit plans 0 $ 0 $ 0 By exchange 2 from another RBC Fund $ 2,500 $ 1,000 $ 1,000,000 Minimum Additional Investment Class A Class C Class I Account Type By mail or wire $ 100 $ 100 $ 10,000 By exchange 2 from another RBC Fund $ 100 $ 100 $ 10,000 VII. In the Shareholder Information-Additional Information About Purchasing and Selling Shares section beginning on page 67, immediately below the paragraph entitled Class A Eligibility the following information is added: Class C Eligibility. Class C shares, offered by the RBC BlueBay Absolute Return Fund only, are available to investors who meet the minimum initial investment requirements. Class C shares are no longer offered to new employer-sponsored retirement plans. VIII. In the Shareholder Information-Additional Information About Purchasing and Selling Shares section beginning on page 67, the paragraph entitled Minimum Account Size is replaced with the following: Minimum Account Size. You must maintain a minimum account value equal to the current minimum initial investment, which is $1,000,000 for Class I shareholder accounts, $2,500 for Class A shareholder accounts, and $1,000 for Class C shareholder accounts. There is no minimum account size requirement for retirement plans. If your account falls below a minimum due to redemptions and not market action, a Fund may ask you to increase the account size back to the minimum. If you do not bring the account up to the minimum amount within 60 days after the Fund contacts you, the Fund may close the account and send your money to you or begin charging you a fee for remaining below the minimum account size. No redemption fees will be imposed on shares redeemed as a result of involuntary account closing. IX. The information under the Shareholder Information-Distribution Arrangements/Sales Charges section beginning on page 75 is replaced in its entirety with the following: 6

This section describes sales charges and fees you will pay as an investor in the share classes offered by the Funds and ways to qualify for reduced sales charges. Class I shares of the Funds have no sales charges or distribution/service fees and, generally, have lower annual expenses than Class A and C shares. Class A Class C Class I Sales Charge (Load) Maximum sales charge of 4.25%. See Schedule below. CDSC of 1.00% on purchases of $1 million or more for redemptions within 12 months of purchase. No front-end sales charge; CDSC of 1.00% for redemptions within 12 months of purchase. No sales charge. Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fee 0.25%* 1.00% None Fund Expenses Lower annual expenses than Class C shares. Higher annual expenses than Class A shares. Lower annual expenses than Class A and Class C shares. * Under the 12b-1 Plan, Class A is authorized to pay expenses directly or reimburse the Distributor for costs and expenses incurred in connection with distribution and marketing of Fund shares subject to an annual limit of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares of a Fund. Currently, the Board of Trustees has approved an annual limit of 0.25% for Class A shares. The class of shares that is better for you depends on a number of factors, including the amount you plan to invest and how long you plan to hold the shares. Your financial advisor can help you decide which class of shares is more appropriate for you. Front-End Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges are imposed on sales of Class A shares of the Funds in this Prospectus at the rates listed in the table below. The sales charge decreases with larger purchases. For example, if you invest more than $100,000, or if your cumulative purchases or the value on your account is more than $100,000, then the sales charge is reduced. (See Reducing the Initial Sales Charge on Purchases of Class A Shares, below.) This sales charge will be waived for purchases (i) in accounts invested through wrap programs in which the RBC Funds participate, (ii) in accounts that transferred to an RBC Fund from a series of RBC Funds, Inc. upon the April 16, 2004 reorganization, (iii) in accounts in which Class R shares or Class C shares were converted to Class A shares, (iv) through one-stop mutual fund networks, (v) through trust companies and banks acting in a fiduciary, advisor, agency, custodial or similar capacity, or (vi) through group retirement plans. The amount paid for an investment, known as the offering price, includes any applicable front-end sales charges. There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends and distributions. Also shown in the table is the portion of the front-end sales charge that is paid to dealers expressed as a percentage of the offering price of a Fund s shares. Sales Charges as a Percentage of For Purchases: Offering Price Net Amount Invested Dealer Concession as a % of Offering Price Less than $100,000 4.25% 4.44% 4.00% $100,000 to $249,999 3.50% 3.63% 3.00% $250,000 to $499,999 2.50% 2.56% 2.00% $500,000 to $749,999 2.00% 2.04% 1.60% $750,000 to $999,999 1.50% 1.52% 1.20% $1 million to $4,999,999 0.00%* 0.00% 1.00% $5 million to $25 million 0.00%* 0.00% 0.50% Over $25 million 0.00%* 0.00% 0.25% * A CDSC in accordance with the amount of the dealer concession paid is imposed on redemptions within 12 months of a purchase of $1 million or more on which no front-end sales charge was paid. See Contingent Deferred Sales Charge below. 7

Reducing the Initial Sales Charge on Purchases of Class A Shares Combining Accounts of Family Members. You may combine accounts in RBC Funds Class A shares of the Funds listed in this Prospectus and all other RBC Funds Class A shares offered in separate prospectuses in order to qualify for a reduced sales charge (load). The following types of accounts may be aggregated for purposes of reducing the initial sales charge. Accounts owned by you and your immediate family (your spouse and your children under 21 years of age) Single-participant retirement plan accounts owned by you or your immediate family Trust accounts established by you or your immediate family You need to provide your financial advisor with the information as to which of your accounts qualify as family accounts and this information should be included with your account application. Letter of Intent. By signing a Letter of Intent (LOI) you can reduce your Class A sales charge. Your individual purchases will be made at the applicable sales charge based on the amount you intend to invest over a 13-month period. The LOI will apply to all purchases of RBC Class A shares of the Funds in this Prospectus and all other RBC Funds Class A shares offered in separate prospectuses. Any shares purchased within 90 days of the date you sign the letter of intent may be used as credit toward completion, but the reduced sales charge will only apply to new purchases made on or after that date. Purchases resulting from the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains do not apply toward fulfillment of the LOI. Shares equal to 5.75% of the amount of the LOI will be held in escrow during the 13-month period. If, at the end of that time the total amount of purchases made is less than the amount intended, you will be required to pay the difference between the reduced sales charge and the sales charge applicable to the individual purchases had the LOI not been in effect. This amount will be obtained from redemption of the escrow shares. Any remaining escrow shares will be released to you. Although the letter of intent does not apply to the purchase of Class C shares, you can combine the value of your Class A shares with your purchase of Class C shares to fulfill your letter of intent. If you establish an LOI with RBC Funds you can aggregate your accounts as well as the accounts of your immediate family members. You will need to provide written instruction with respect to the other accounts whose purchases should be considered in fulfillment of the LOI. Rights of Accumulation. For the purpose of qualifying for the lower sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases, you may combine your new purchase of Class A shares with shares of currently owned holdings in Class A shares of the Fund and all other RBC Funds Class A shares offered in separate prospectuses. The applicable sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the current value based on NAV of all other Class A shares you own. You may need to provide your financial advisor with account statements or other information to demonstrate that you qualify for a sales charge reduction. 8

Although the rights of accumulation do not apply to the purchase of Class C shares, you can combine your purchase of Class A shares with your purchase of Class C shares to fulfill your rights of accumulation. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT TO RECEIVE A REDUCTION IN THE INITIAL SALES CHARGE OF YOUR PURCHASES OF CLASS A SHARES OF THE RBC FUNDS, YOU MUST NOTIFY YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR AT THE TIME YOU PURCHASE YOUR SHARES THAT YOU QUALIFY FOR SUCH A REDUCTION. IF YOU DO NOT NOTIFY YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR THAT YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A SALES CHARGE REDUCTION, YOU MAY NOT RECEIVE A REDUCTION TO WHICH YOU ARE OTHERWISE ENTITLED. Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. For Class C shares, a CDSC of 1.00% applies if shares are sold within 12 months of purchase. A 1.00% CDSC is also imposed on redemptions of Class A shares made within 12 months of a purchase of $1 million or more of Class A shares on which no front-end sales charge was paid. Shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions are not subject to a CDSC. For purposes of determining the CDSC, if you sell only some of your shares, shares that are not subject to any CDSC will be sold first, followed by shares that you have owned the longest. The CDSC is based on the initial offering price or the current sales price of the shares, whichever is less. Calculation of Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (Class C Shares) CDSCs are charged as a percentage of the dollar amount subject to the CDSC. The charge will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of the NAV at the time the shares being redeemed were purchased or the NAV of those shares at the time of redemption. No CDSC will be imposed on increases in NAV above the initial purchase price, nor will a CDSC be assessed on redemptions of shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions. For purposes of this formula, the NAV at the time of purchase will be the NAV at purchase of Class C shares of the Fund, even if those shares are later exchanged for shares of another RBC Fund. In the event of an exchange of the shares, the NAV of such shares at the time of redemption will be the NAV of the shares that were acquired in the exchange. Waiving Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (Class A and Class C Shares). The contingent deferred sales charge on Class A shares and Class C shares may be waived in the following cases: Redemptions due to death or disability of the shareholder Redemptions due to the complete termination of a trust upon the death of the trustor/grantor or beneficiary Tax-free returns of excess contributions to IRAs Permitted exchanges of shares between funds (However, if shares acquired in the exchange are subsequently redeemed within the period during which a contingent deferred sales charge would have applied to the initial shares purchased, the contingent deferred sales charge will not be waived.) The contingent deferred sales charge on Class A shares and Class C shares may also be waived in the following two cases, if together such transactions do not exceed 12% of the value of an account annually: Redemptions through a systematic withdrawal plan Redemptions due to receiving required minimum distributions from retirement accounts upon reaching age 70½ 9

The Funds do not provide additional information on sales charges on their website because the information is contained in the Prospectus, which is available on the Funds website at www.rbcgam.us. Dealer Compensation The financial advisor that sells you shares of the Fund may be eligible to receive the following amounts as compensation for your investment in the Fund. These amounts are paid by the Distributor or another fund affiliate to the securities dealer with whom your financial advisor is associated. Class I shares do not have a 12b-1 fee or sales charge so they are not included in the table below. Class A 1 Class C 2 Commission (%) 1.00% Investment less than $100,000 4.00% $100,000 to $249,999 3.00% $250,000 to $499,999 2.00% $500,000 to $749,999 1.60% $750,000 to $999,999 1.20% $1 million to $4,999,999 1.00% $5 million to $25 million 0.50% Over $25 million 0.25% 12b-1 fee to dealer 0.25% 1.00% 1 On sales of Class A shares, the Distributor reallows to your securities dealer a portion of the front-end sales charge depending upon the amount you invested. Your securities dealer may be eligible to receive a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.25% from the date of purchase. 2 On sales of Class C shares, the Distributor or another fund affiliate may pay your securities dealer an upfront commission of 1.00%. The upfront commission includes an advance of the first year s 12b-1 service fee of up to 0.25%. During the first 12 months, the Distributor retains the full 1.00% 12b-1 fee to partially offset the upfront commission and the prepaid 0.25% service fee advanced at the time of purchase. Starting in the 13th month, your securities dealer may be eligible to receive the full 1.00% 12b-1 fee applicable to Class C. Alternatively, certain intermediaries may not be eligible to receive the upfront commission of 1.00%, but may receive the 12b-1 fee for sales of Class C shares from the date of purchase. X. In the Shareholder Information-Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees section on page 78, immediately below the paragraph regarding 12b-1 fees for Class A shares, the following information is added: Class C Shares Class C shares may pay a 12b-1 fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of a Fund. Up to 0.25% of this fee may be used for shareholder servicing. XI. The information under the Shareholder Information-Shareholder Servicing Plan section beginning on page 78 is replaced in its entirety with the following: The Trust has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the Servicing Plan ) that allows Class A, Class C, and Class I shares of each Fund to pay service fees to firms that provide shareholder services ( Intermediaries ). Under the Servicing Plan, if an Intermediary provides shareholder services, including responding to shareholder inquiries and assisting shareholders with their accounts, the Fund may pay shareholder servicing fees to the Intermediary at an annual rate not to exceed 0.15%. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of charges. XII. The Financial Highlights information for the Fund beginning on page 89 is replaced with the following information, which is updated to reflect figures for the six months ended March 31, 2014: 10
