Expenses and Fees

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold Institutional Class shares of the Fund.

    Institutional Class
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a
percentage of the value of your investment)
Management fees(1)     0.85 %
Distribution and servicing (12b-1) fees     None  
Other expenses     0.21 %
Acquired fund fees and expenses(2)     0.01 %
Total annual Fund operating expenses     1.07 %
Fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement(3)     -0.08 %

(1)  Prior to June 1, 2020, the management fee was 0.95%.

(2)  Acquired fund fees and expenses are indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in the shares of other mutual funds, including money market funds and exchange traded funds.

(3)  The Fund’s investment adviser, Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (the “Adviser”), has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses in an

 

aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares exceeds 0.99% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Institutional Class shares. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account and could cause net Total annual Fund operating expenses to exceed 0.99%: short sale dividend expenses, brokerage commissions, extraordinary items, interest or taxes. This contractual limitation is in effect until February 28, 2021 and may not be terminated without the approval of the Board of Directors of The RBB Fund, Inc. If at any time, the Fund’s Total annual Fund operating expenses (not including short sale dividend expense, brokerage commissions, extraordinary items, interest or taxes) for a year are less than 0.99% or the expense cap then in effect, whichever is less, the Adviser is entitled to reimbursement by the Fund of the advisory fees forgone and other payments remitted by the Adviser to the Fund within three years from the date on which such waiver or reimbursement was made, provided such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed expense limitations that were in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement.

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 $100,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and that you sell all of your shares at the end of the period. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the operating expenses of the Fund remain the same. 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  
Institutional Class   $ 1,010     $ 3,324     $ 5,824     $ 12,985
