Performance Disclosures Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. ("Boston Partners") is the investment adviser to the Boston Partners Investment Funds. Quasar Distributors LLC is the Distributor of the Funds and is not an adviser affiliate. Securities offered through Boston Partners Securities, LLC, member FINRA, SiPC, an affiliate of Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained at www.boston-partners.com. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns are historical and include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Returns shown are net of fees and expenses. Fund holdings are subject to change and may not represent current or future holdings. The value of a fund's investments will vary from day to day based on many factors. Stock values fluctuate in response to issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments. The value of mid capitalization securities may be more volatile than those of larger issuers. Investments in foreign issuers may be more volatile than in the U.S. market. Important Risk Disclosures Investment in shares of the Emerging Markets Long/Short Fund, Global Long/Short Fund, the Long/Short Equity Fund and the Long/Short Research Fund is more volatile and risky than some other forms of investments. Since the Emerging Markets Long/Short Fund, Global Long/Short Fund, the Long/ Short Equity Fund and the Long/Short Research Fund has both a long and a short portfolio, an investment in the Fund will involve risks associated with twice the number of investment decisions made for a typical stock fund and short selling carries a risk on unlimited loss. These types of funds typically have a high portfolio turnover that could increase transaction costs and cause short-term capital gains to be realized. Stocks of small capitalization securities are generally more volatile and less liquid than investments in issuers with market capitalizations greater than $ billion.
