The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original costs. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The performance shown above for the WCM Alternatives - Event Driven Fund Investor Class Shares for periods prior to March 22, 2017 represents the performance for the original share class of the Fund, the Institutional Shares. The Institutional Shares were first offered on January 2, 2014, while the Investor Class Shares were first offered on March 22, 2017. Annual returns would differ only to the extent that Investor Class shares do not have the same expenses as Institutional Class Shares.

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns with minimal volatility in virtually all market environments. Risk-adjusted return is a concept that considers not only an investment's return, but also the potential risk involved in producing that return.

Investment Strategy

The Fund typically attempts to generate profits by capturing price movements generated by specific events. This may include investing in companies that are involved in publicly announced mergers, acquisitions, asset sales or other divestitures, restructurings, re-financings, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other special situations. By investing based on event-driven criteria, the Fund seeks to benefit from the successful conclusion of a specific event, rather than on the performance of the overall market.
