This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional, in the section of the Prospectus entitled “Shareholder Information- Sales Charges” and in the section of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) entitled “Purchase and Redemption Information – Reducing or Eliminating the Front-End Sales Charge.”

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

(1) A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A Shares made within 12 months after purchase where no initial sales charge was paid at time of purchase as part of an investment of $1,000,000 or more.

(2) The CDSC applies to redemptions of Class C Shares made within 12 months of purchase and will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of the offering price at the time of purchase of the shares redeemed and the net asset value of the shares redeemed at the time of redemption.

(3) Management Fees include advisory fees paid to both Abbey Capital Limited (the “Adviser”) and one or more trading advisers (the “Trading Advisers”). There are no performance fees charged by the Adviser or Trading Advisers either at the Fund or at the Fund’s wholly-owned Subsidiaries.

(4) The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 1.79%, 2.04% and 2.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class I Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account and could cause net Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed 1.79%, 2.04% or 2.79%, as applicable: acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, extraordinary items, interest or taxes. This contractual limitation is in effect until 31 December 2024 for Class I Shares, Class A Shares and Class C Shares, and may not be terminated without the approval of the Board of Directors of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the “Company”). If at any time the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (not including acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, extraordinary items, interest or taxes) for a year are less than 1.79%, 2.04% or 2.79%, as applicable, the Adviser may recoup any waived or reimbursed amounts from the Fund within three years from the date on which such waiver or reimbursement was made by the Adviser, provided such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed expense limitations that were in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement.

Risk Considerations

Mutual Fund investing involves risk including the possible loss of principal value. The Fund’s investment activities involve a significant degree of risk and material losses may occur. The Fund may invest in derivatives, (futures, options, swaps) and commodities. Investing in managed futures may not be suitable for all investors given its speculative nature and the high level of risk involved. The Fund is appropriate only for investors who can understand and bear the risks associated with product. Exposure to commodities markets and commodity-linked derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility affected by industry-related factors, value, supply and demand, governmental policies, weather, economic and political factors To the extent that the investment advisor misjudges current market conditions, the Fund’s volatility may be amplified by its use of short sales and derivatives, and by its ability to select Sub-Advisers to allocate assets. Short sales by a Fund theoretically involve unlimited loss potential since the market price of securities sold short may continuously increase. Derivatives may be more sensitive to changes in market conditions and may amplify risks. Derivatives are subject to the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty to the derivative instruments and the risk of loss due to changes in interest rates. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Fund and may reduce its returns. Leverage may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the NAV of the Fund generally to decline faster than it would otherwise. The Fund invests in the securities of foreign and emerging markets which are subject to currency fluctuation, political instability, social and economic risks. In particular, emerging and frontier markets may be more volatile and less liquid than more developed markets and therefore may involve greater risks. In order to qualify as a Registered Investment Company (RIC), the Fund must meet certain requirements regarding the source of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. If the Fund was to fail to qualify as a RIC and became subject to federal income tax or if there were changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, this could adversely affect the Fund and shareholders of the Fund would be subject to diminished returns. Please refer to the prospectus and SAI for more information on tax risks. Fixed income securities that the fund may invest are subject to credit risk, prepayment risk and interest rate risk so that as interest rates rise the value of bond prices will decline. The Fund is non-diversified which means it may be invested in a limited number of issuers and susceptible to any economic, political and regulatory events than a more diversified fund.
