Risk Information: Detailed information regarding the risks associated with RiverNorth Closed-End Funds and RiverNorth Mutual Funds can be found in each Fund's
prospectus, respectively.
RiverNorth Mutual Funds:
RiverNorth Core Opportunity Fund (RNCIX/RNCOX): Borrowing Risk - borrowings increase fund expenses and are subject to repayment, possibly at inopportune times. Closed-End Fund Risk - closed-end funds are exchange traded, may trade at a discount to their net asset values and may deploy leverage. Derivatives Risk - derivatives are subject to counterparty risk.

Convertible Security Risk - the market value of convertible securities adjusts with interest rates and the value of the underlying stock. Exchange Traded Note Risk - exchange traded notes represent unsecured debt of the issuer and may be influenced by interest rates, credit ratings of the issuer or changes in value of the reference index. Fixed Income Risk - the market value of fixed income securities adjusts with interest rates and the securities are subject to issuer default. Foreign/Emerging Market Risk - foreign securities may be subject to inefficient or volatile markets, different regulatory regimes or different tax policies. These risks may be enhanced in emerging markets. Investment Style Risk - investment strategies may come in and out of favor with investors and may underperform or outperform at times. Management Risk - there is no guarantee that the adviser's investment decisions will produce the desired results. Large Shareholder Purchase and Redemption Risk - The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Market Risk - economic conditions, interest rates and political events may affect the securities markets.

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) have no operating history or ongoing business other than to seek a potential acquisition. Certain SPACs may seek acquisitions only in limited industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. Investments in SPACs may be illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale. To the extent the SPAC is invested in cash or similar securities, this may
impact a Fund's ability to meet its investment objective.
