<sup>1</sup>

A 1.00% Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC") is imposed on redemptions of Class A shares made within 12 months of a purchase of $500,000 or more of Class A shares on which no front-end sales charge was paid.

<sup>2</sup>

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses differ from the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights, which reflect the operating expenses of the Fund and do not include acquired fund fees and expenses.

<sup>3</sup>

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay operating expenses in order to limit the Fund's total expenses (excluding brokerage and other investment-related costs, interest, taxes, dues, fees and other charges of governments and their agencies, extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification, other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business and acquired fund fees and expenses) to 0.45% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class A shares and 0.35% for Class I shares. This expense limitation agreement is in place until July 31, 2026 and may not be terminated by the Adviser prior to that date. The expense limitation agreement may be revised or terminated by the Fund's board of trustees if the board consents to a revision or termination as being in the best interests of the Fund. The Adviser is entitled to recoup from the Fund or class the fees and/or operating expenses previously waived or reimbursed for a period of 3 years from the date of such waiver or reimbursement, provided that such recoupment does not cause the Fund's expense ratio (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed the

lesser of: (i) the Fund's expense limitation at the time of the waiver or reimbursement and (ii) the Fund's expense limitation at the time of recoupment.

***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 limitation in the first year only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| Class A | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $196 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $530 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $888 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $1895 |
| Class I | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $37 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $198 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $374 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $882 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 67% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in fixed income securities. The fixed income securities in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, bonds, municipal securities, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, and obligations of U.S. and foreign governments and their agencies. The Fund may invest in securities with fixed, floating or variable rates of interest. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities that are non-investment grade (high yield/junk bond).

The Fund typically seeks to maintain a duration of three years or less. Duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities relative to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Fund may invest in securities of both U.S. and foreign issuers. The Fund will normally invest in a portfolio of fixed income securities denominated in U.S. Dollars but may invest in securities denominated in currencies of other countries.

In addition, the Fund may invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from or directly linked to an underlying asset, such as equity securities, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices. In particular, the Fund may use interest rate futures to manage portfolio risk. The Fund's

------

**Fund Summary**

**RBC BlueBay Short Duration Fixed Income Fund**

exposure to derivatives will vary. For purposes of meeting its 80% investment policy, the Fund may include derivatives that have characteristics similar to the Fund's direct investments.

The Adviser uses a bottom-up, fundamental process combined with top-down risk management tools designed to meet the objective of high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital over the long term. The Adviser will also make active allocation decisions by focusing on sector targets, yield curve exposure and duration of the Fund's portfolio.

The Adviser considers material Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") factors as part of the investment process. The ESG factors deemed material to the Fund are at the discretion of the Adviser. Material ESG factors are considered as part of the investment analysis of applicable securities.

**Principal Risks**

The value of your investment in the Fund will change daily, which means that you could lose money. **An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency.** By itself, the Fund is not a balanced investment program. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its goal. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include:

***Interest Rate Risk.*** The Fund's yield and value will fluctuate as the general level of interest rates change. During periods when interest rates are low, the Fund's yield may also be low. When interest rates increase, securities held by the Fund will generally decline in value. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors including government policy, inflation expectations, and supply and demand. Municipal securities may be issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, where payment and delivery take place at a future date. The Fund assumes the risk that the value of the security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price.

***Credit Spread Risk.*** The Fund's investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) deterioration to their credit quality. Any actual or perceived deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads and a decline in price of the issuer's securities.

***Issuer/Credit Risk.*** There is a possibility that issuers of securities in which the Fund may invest may default on the payment of interest or principal on the securities when due, which could cause the Fund to lose money.

***Market Risk.*** The markets in which the Fund invests may go down in value, sometimes sharply and unpredictably. The success of the Fund's investment program may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, tariffs and other trade barriers, and national and international political circumstances. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair the Fund's profitability or result in losses. The Fund's investments may be overweighted from time to time in one or

------

**Fund Summary**

**RBC BlueBay Short Duration Fixed Income Fund**

more sectors, which will increase the Fund's exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those sectors.

***Investment Grade Securities Risk.*** The Fund primarily invests in investment grade rated securities. Investment grade rated securities are assigned credit ratings by ratings agencies on the basis of the creditworthiness or risk of default of a bond issue. Rating agencies review, from time to time, such assigned ratings of the securities and may subsequently downgrade the rating if economic circumstances impact the relevant bond issues.

***Mortgage-Related Securities Risk.*** Mortgage-related securities represent direct or indirect participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property, and include pass-through securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs"). Mortgage pass-through securities are securities representing interests in "pools" of mortgages in which payments of both interest and principal on the securities are made monthly, in effect "passing through" monthly payments made by the individual borrowers on the underlying residential mortgage loans. Early repayment of principal on mortgage pass-through securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. CMOs are hybrid instruments with characteristics of both mortgage-backed bonds and mortgage pass-through securities. CMOs are issued in multiple classes, and each class may have its own interest rate and/or maturity. The value of some classes in which the Fund invests may be more volatile and may be subject to higher risk of non-payment. Like other fixed-income securities, when interest rates rise, the value of a mortgage-related security generally will decline; however, when interest rates decline, the value of mortgage-related securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed-income securities. Upward trends in interest rates tend to lengthen the average life of mortgage-related securities and also cause the value of outstanding securities to drop. Thus, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of these securities held by the Fund would tend to drop and the portfolio-weighted average life of such securities held by the Fund may tend to lengthen due to this effect. Longer-term securities tend to experience more price volatility.

***Asset-Backed Securities Risk.*** Payments on asset-backed securities depend upon assets held by the issuer and collections of the underlying loans. The value of these securities depends on many factors, including changing interest rates, the availability of information about the pool and its structure, the credit quality of the underlying assets, the market's perception of the servicer of the pool, and any credit enhancement provided. In certain market conditions, asset-backed securities may experience volatile fluctuations in value and periods of illiquidity.

***Prepayment Risk.*** The value of some mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities in which the Fund invests may fall due to unanticipated levels of principal prepayments that can occur when interest rates decline.

***Reinvestment Risk.*** Reinvestment risk is the risk that a fixed income security's cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original security. Call risk is a type of reinvestment risk. It is the

------

**Fund Summary**

**RBC BlueBay Short Duration Fixed Income Fund**

possibility that during periods of falling interest rates, issuers may call securities with higher coupon or interest rates before maturity. If a security is called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates resulting in a decline in the Fund's income.

***U.S. Government Obligations Risk.*** Obligations of U.S. Government agencies, authorities, instrumentalities and sponsored enterprises (such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, the maximum potential liability of the issuers of some of these securities may greatly exceed their current resources and no assurance can be given that the U.S. Government would provide financial support to any of these entities if it is not obligated to do so by law.

***High Yield Securities Risk.*** High yield securities, which are non-investment grade fixed income securities and unrated securities of comparable credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are considered speculative and have a higher risk of an issuer's inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations. These securities may be subject to greater price volatility due to such factors as specific corporate developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative perceptions of the junk bond markets generally and less secondary market liquidity.

***Liquidity Risk.*** The Fund may be subject to the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities (including securities deemed liquid at the time of purchase that subsequently became less liquid) at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector.

***Valuation Risk.*** The Fund's assets are generally valued based on evaluated prices received from third-party pricing services or from broker-dealers who make markets in the securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As a result, there is the risk that the values at which these investments are sold may be significantly different to the estimated fair values of these investments.

***Derivatives Risk.*** Derivatives and other similar instruments (collectively referred to as "derivatives"), including options contracts, futures contracts, forwards, options on futures contracts and swap agreements (including, but not limited to, credit default swaps and swaps on exchange-traded funds), may be riskier than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund's original investment. The performance of derivatives depends largely on the performance of their underlying asset reference, rate, or index; therefore, derivatives often have risks similar to those risks of the underlying asset, reference rate or index, in addition to other risks. However, the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the underlying asset, reference, rate or index. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than it would have been if it had not used derivatives. Over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives are traded bilaterally between two parties, which exposes the Fund to heightened liquidity risk, valuation risk and counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including the credit

------

**Fund Summary**

**RBC BlueBay Short Duration Fixed Income Fund**

risk of the derivative counterparty, compared to other types of investments. Changes in the value of a derivative may also create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for a Fund. Certain derivatives are subject to exchange trading and/or mandatory clearing (which interposes a central clearinghouse to each participant's derivative transaction). Exchange trading, central clearing and margin requirements are intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity and transparency, but do not make a derivatives transaction risk-free and may subject the Fund to increased costs. The use of derivatives may not be successful, and certain of the Fund's transactions in derivatives may not perform as expected, which may prevent the Fund from realizing the intended benefits, and could result in a loss to the Fund. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation, as well as liquidity risk. The use of derivatives is also subject to operational risk which refers to risk related to potential operational issues, including documentation issues, settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error, as well as legal risk which refers to the risk of loss resulting from insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of counterparty, or legality or enforceability of a contract.

***Active Management Risk.*** The Fund is actively managed and its performance therefore will reflect in part the Adviser's ability to make investment decisions that are suited to achieve the Fund's investment objective.

***Net Asset Value ("NAV") Risk.*** The Fund is not a money market fund, does not attempt to maintain a stable NAV, and is not subject to the rules that govern the quality, maturity, liquidity and other features of securities that money market funds may purchase. Under normal conditions, the Fund's investment may be more susceptible than a money market fund to interest rate risk, valuation risk, credit risk, and other risks relevant to the Fund's investments. The Fund's NAV per share will fluctuate.

**Performance Information**

The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual total returns (before and after taxes) compare with those of two indices. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index serves as the Fund's regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The ICE BofA 1-3 Year US Corporate & Government Index is the Fund's additional index and is more representative of the Fund's investment universe than the regulatory index. The returns for Class A shares will be different than the returns of Class I shares shown in the bar chart and performance table because fees and expenses of the two classes differ. Past performance (before and after taxes) does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated information on the Fund's performance can be obtained by visiting <u>https://us.rbcgam.com/mutual</u>-funds/ or by calling 1-800-422-2766.

**Performance Table**

The table below shows after-tax returns for Class I shares only. Before-tax returns for Class A shares assume applicable maximum sales charges. 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. In some cases, returns after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be higher than returns before taxes because the calculations assume that the investor received a tax benefit for any loss incurred on the sale of the shares. The inception dates of Class I shares and Class A shares of the Fund are December 30, 2013 and March 3, 2014, respectively. Performance shown for Class A shares prior to its inception date is based on the performance of Class I shares, adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of Class A shares.
