The PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by primarily investing in stocks of small companies with market caps matching the benchmark.  Using an analytical process together with fundamental research methods, the team rates the performance potential of companies and buys those stocks that it believes offer the best prospects for superior performance relative to the securities of comparable companies. 



Investment Risk

The market cap range of the benchmark frequently changes.  As a result, the capitalization of companies in which the Fund invests may also change.
 
Investments in small capitalization companies present greater risk of loss than investments in large companies. Investments in growth companies can be more sensitive to the company’s earnings and more volatile than the stock market in general.  International investments are subject to special risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards that may adversely affect portfolio securities. These risks may be heightened in emerging markets.  To the extent that the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a particular industry, the fund's performance could depend heavily on the performance of that industry and may be more volatile than less concentrated funds.  The portfolio team may choose to invest in initial public offerings (IPOs), the performance of which is unpredictable and the effect of which may not be duplicated during periods in which the Fund does not invest in IPOs.
