Risks
The Fund is subject to concentration risk, meaning the fund may concentrate portfolio assets in companies
within the same or related industry. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to volatility within that industry
than a fund that was not concentrated. Investments in real estate securities may involve greater risk and
volatility including greater exposure to economic downturns and changes in real estate values, rents,
property taxes, interest rates, tax and other laws. A REIT’s share price may decline because of adverse
developments affecting the real estate industry. Investing in dividend-paying stocks involves the risk
that such stocks may fall out favor with investors and underperform the market. In addition, there is
the possibility that such companies could reduce or eliminate the payment of dividends in the future or
the anticipated acceleration of dividends could not occur. The fund may invest in preferred stocks and
convertible securities. The values of such securities typically have an inverse relationship with changes in
the prevailing interest rate. Securities with longer maturities generally involve a greater risk of fluctuations
in the value resulting from changes in interest rates. Medium- and small-capitalization companies tend
to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. The Fund is
non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund.
Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. The Fund may participate
in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) or Secondary offerings which may result in a magnified impact on the
performance of the Fund. IPO’s and Secondary offerings are frequently volatile in price and may increase
the turnover of the Fund, which may lead to increased expenses. The fund may use leverage which may
exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of portfolio securities or the Net Asset Value of
the fund, and money borrowed will be subject to interest costs.
There is no guarantee that the Fund’s objective will be met.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

Returns for the Class A shares with sales charge reflect a maximum sales charge of 5.50%. Performance for the Class A shares without sales charges does not reflect this load.
The fund imposes a 1.00% redemption fee on shares held less than 60 days. Performance does not reflect the redemption fee. Had the load or redemption fee been reflected,
total returns would be reduced.
Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The 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 their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.
Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 1-877-785-5578 or visiting www.alpinefunds.com.
Performance for less than one year are cumulative figures and are not annualized. Returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and the deduction of all fund expenses.
†
Since inception performance numbers for the indices are calculated from the Fund’s Institutional Share class inception date/Class A shares inception date.
To the extent of the Fund’s historical performance resulted from gains derived from participation in IPOs and Secondary offerings, there is no guarantee that these results can
be replicated or that the Fund will be able to participate to the same degree in IPOs or secondary offerings in the future.
*Gross expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the share class(es) shown in the Fund’s most current prospectus dated February 27, 2015. The Fund has a contractual
fee waiver in effect until March 1, 2016. To the extent the Funds’ expenses were reduced by these waivers, the Funds’ total returns were increased. In these cases, in the absence of the fee
waivers, total returns would be reduced. The contractual expense reimbursement level was not reached by the end of the period shown in the prospectus.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change at any time and should not be considered recommendations to buy or sell any security.
