Firm Description and Principal Owners
Gotham is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed in 2008. The Firm is a value-oriented equity
investment management firm managing long/short and long-only investment portfolios primarily for private
funds, mutual funds, institutional managed accounts and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). The Firm is owned by

Advisory Services
We act as the investment manager to private funds (the "Private Funds"), mutual funds (the "Mutual Funds") and
separately managed accounts for institutional investors (the "Managed Accounts") that generally invest in
publicly traded equity securities and equity-related securities. We are also a sub-adviser to three ETFs (the
"Gotham ETFs") and to a long/short mutual fund (the "Sub-Advised Fund", and together with the Private Funds,
Mutual Funds and Gotham ETFs, the "Funds"), which also invest in publicly traded equities and equity-related
securities. The Funds and Managed Accounts are collectively referred to in this document as "Clients."
We believe that while individual stocks gravitate toward fair value over longer periods of time, they frequently
trade at significant deviations from fair value. We generally take long positions in securities that we believe to be
undervalued and short positions in securities that we believe to be overvalued, subject to each portfolio's risk
constraints.
Tailoring of Advisory Services
Private Fund investments are managed in accordance with the investment objectives and strategies set forth in the
Private Funds’ offering memoranda (or other governing documents) and such investments are generally
not
tailored to the individual needs of any particular Private Fund investor. Certain Private Funds formed as series
limited partnerships offer particular series to single investors. The investment objectives and strategies of such
series set forth in the offering memorandum (including any series-specific supplement) for the series may be (and
have been) tailored to the needs of such investor.
The Mutual Funds', Sub-Advised Fund's and Gotham ETFs' investments are managed in accordance with each
Fund's investment objective and strategies as set forth in the applicable prospectus and advisory agreement and
are not tailored to the individualized needs of any particular investor in such a Fund. Managed Accounts are
managed in accordance with the investor's chosen strategy, which investors have a limited ability to tailor,
including limiting investments in certain securities. Several of our Managed Accounts are managed on behalf of
a private fund manager for a portion of their funds.
There can be no assurance that the investment objectives of the Funds or Managed Accounts will be achieved and
investment results may vary substantially.
Throughout this brochure, we disclose a number of conflicts of interest. We encourage investors and potential
investors to review our policies and procedures set forth herein and inquire directly with us about such conflicts.
In addition, conflicts of interest and specific risks related to an investment in the Funds are described in the
offering materials of each Fund.
