NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RiverPark Funds announced today that it intends to close the RiverPark Short Term High Yield Fund (ticker symbols RPHIX and RPHYX) to new investors at the close of business on June 21, 2013. The Fund will remain open to new investments from its current shareholders and from financial advisors with existing clients in the Fund. The closing does not affect other RiverPark Funds.
“We are taking the steps necessary to protect the integrity of the Fund’s investment strategy by limiting its growth,” said Morty Schaja, chief executive officer of RiverPark Funds. “Closing the Fund now will allow existing shareholders to continue to invest in the Fund.”
The RiverPark Short Term High Yield Fund currently has just over $700 million in assets under management and is approaching its planned capacity.

Mutual fund investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, international investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from social, economic or political instability in other nations. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. High Yield bonds involved greater risk of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities, due to the speculative nature of their investments. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its stated objectives.
