The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay operating expenses in order to limit the Fund’s total expenses (excluding brokerage and other investment-related costs, interest, taxes, dues, fees and other charges of governments and their agencies, extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification, other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business and acquired fund fees and expenses) to 1.13% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A shares, 0.88% for Class I shares and 0.88% for Class R6 shares. This expense limitation agreement is in place until July 31, 2027 and may not be terminated by the Adviser prior to that date. The expense limitation agreement may be revised or terminated by the Fund’s Board of Trustees if the Board consents to a revision or termination as being in the best interests of the Fund. The Adviser is entitled to recoup from the Fund or class the fees and/or operating expenses previously waived or reimbursed for a period of three years from the date of such waiver or reimbursement, provided that such recoupment does not cause the Fund’s expense ratio (after the

Fund Summary

repayment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (i) the Fund’s expense limitation at the time of the waiver or reimbursement and (ii) the Fund’s expense limitation at the time of recoupment.
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 $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The costs for the Fund reflect the net expenses of the Fund that result from the contractual expense limitation in the first year only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 24% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities economically tied to emerging market countries excluding China. For purposes of this policy, the term “assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
A security is economically tied to an emerging market country excluding China if it is issued by a foreign government (or any political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such government) or corporation and the security is principally traded on the emerging market country’s securities markets, the classifications assigned by third parties, including an issuer’s “country of issue” as determined by Bloomberg and/or the classifications assigned to an issuer by the Fund’s benchmark index provider or a minimum of 50% of the issuer’s revenues are generated from, or a minimum of 50% of the issuer’s operations or assets are located within, the economies of emerging market countries. In determining whether a country is emerging or developed, the Fund will consider (i) classifications by the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation or the United Nations (and its agencies); (ii) classifications by the MSCI Emerging Markets ex-China Index; and (iii) the International Monetary Fund’s definition and list of developing and emerging market countries.

Fund Summary
RBC Emerging Markets ex-China Equity Fund
The Fund will typically invest in 40 to 60 equity securities issued by mid- to large-capitalization companies. The equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stock, preferred stock, convertible securities, ADRs, EDRs, GDRs, warrants, rights and initial public offerings. The Fund will be diversified by sector and country within certain ranges of the MSCI Emerging Markets ex-China Index as determined by the Sub-Adviser. The Fund may also invest up to 35% of its assets in companies that are not included in the MSCI Emerging Markets ex-China Index.
The Fund may invest in securities denominated in any currency. The investment process of the Fund is primarily based on fundamental research, although the Sub-Adviser will also consider quantitative and technical factors. The Sub-Adviser will also assess the economic outlook for each region, including expected growth, market valuations and economic trends. Stock selection decisions are ultimately based on an understanding of the company and its business and its outlook. The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a number of reasons such as a change in the business model, a more attractive opportunity arises, portfolio construction benefits and less perceived potential upside.
The Sub-Adviser incorporates ESG factors as part of the investment process for applicable types of investments. The ESG factors deemed material to the Fund are at the discretion of the Sub-Adviser.
Principal Risks
The value of your investment in the Fund will change daily, which means that you could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. By itself, the Fund is not a balanced investment program. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its goal. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include:
Equity Market Risk. Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. The values of equity securities, including common  and preferred stocks, convertible securities, depositary receipts, warrants, rights and initial public offerings, may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.
Foreign Risk. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political, environmental and social stability in these countries. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscation of assets and property, and other government restrictions, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other
3
Fund Summary
RBC Emerging Markets ex-China Equity Fund
instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Additionally, foreign securities and dividends and interest payable on those securities may be subject to foreign taxes, including taxes withheld from payments on those securities.
Emerging Markets Risk. The Fund primarily invests in emerging markets. The securities markets of most emerging market countries are less liquid; are especially subject to greater price volatility; have smaller market capitalizations; have less government regulation; and are not subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, auditing, financial and other reporting requirements compared to the securities markets of more developed countries. In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in emerging market countries. These risks are not normally associated with investments in more developed countries.
Depositary Receipts Risk. Depositary receipts, such as ADRs, GDRs and EDRs, may be issued in sponsored or unsponsored programs. They may be traded in the OTC market or on a regional exchange, or may otherwise have limited liquidity. The prices of depositary receipts may differ from the prices of securities upon which they are based. In a sponsored program, a security issuer has made arrangements to have its securities traded in the form of depositary receipts. In an un-sponsored program, the issuer may not be directly involved in the creation of the program. Holders of unsponsored depositary receipts generally bear all the costs of the facility. The depository usually charges fees upon deposit and withdrawal of the underlying securities, the conversion of dividends into U.S. dollars or other currency, the disposition of non-cash distributions and the performance of other services. Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. These risks include: fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which are affected by international balances of payments and other economic and financial conditions; government intervention; and speculation. With respect to certain foreign countries, there is the possibility of expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, political and social upheaval, and economic instability. Investments in depositary receipts that are exchange traded or OTC may also subject the Fund to liquidity risk. This risk is enhanced in connection with OTC depositary receipts.
Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also may have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.
Liquidity Risk. The Fund may be subject to the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities (including securities deemed liquid at the time of purchase that
4
Fund Summary
RBC Emerging Markets ex-China Equity Fund
subsequently became less liquid) at an advantageous time or price or to achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector.
Valuation Risk. The Fund’s assets may include equity securities traded in foreign markets that close prior to the U.S. markets and when the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated. In order to take into account any significant events occurring after the close of trading in a foreign market, these securities are valued using adjusted fair value prices received from an independent pricing vendor and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As a result, there is a risk that the values at which these investments are sold may be significantly different than the estimated fair values of these investments.
Custodial Risk. The Fund may invest in markets where custodian and/or settlement systems are not fully developed. The assets of the Fund that are traded in such markets and that have been entrusted to sub-custodians, in circumstances where the use of such sub-custodians is necessary, may be exposed to risk in circumstances whereby the custodian will have no liability.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in a region or small group of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Large Company Risk. Large capitalization companies are generally more mature, and the securities issued by these companies may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the securities issued by small- or mid-capitalization companies.
Mid-Sized Company Risk. Stocks of mid-sized companies may carry greater risks than those of larger companies because mid-sized companies may have less management experience, fewer competitive strengths and fewer financial resources than larger companies. Mid-sized companies may also be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events, and may be more volatile than larger companies.
Market Risk. The markets in which the Fund invests may go down in value, sometimes sharply and unpredictably. The success of the Fund’s investment program may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates; availability of credit; inflation rates; economic uncertainty; changes in laws, tariffs and other trade barriers; and national and international political circumstances. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair the Fund’s profitability or result in losses. The Fund’s investments may be overweighted from time to time in one or more sectors, which will increase the Fund’s exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those sectors.
Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed, and its performance therefore will reflect in part the Sub-Adviser’s ability to make investment decisions that are suited to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
Performance Information

Fund Summary
RBC Emerging Markets ex-China Equity Fund
with those of two indices. The MSCI Emerging Markets Equity Index serves as the Fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The MSCI Emerging Markets ex-China Index is the Fund’s additional index and is more representative of the Fund’s investment universe than the regulatory index. The returns for Class A and Class R6 shares may be different than the returns of Class I shares shown in the bar chart and performance table because fees and expenses of the three classes differ. Past performance (before and after taxes) does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

The table below shows after-tax returns for Class I shares only. Before-tax returns for Class A shares assume applicable maximum sales charges. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as qualified retirement plans. In some cases, returns after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be higher than returns before taxes because the calculations assume that the investor received a tax benefit for any loss incurred

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of a Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or the Adviser may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
