1   A sales charge is not charged on purchases of Class A shares in the amount of $1,000,000 or more. However, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% is charged if you redeem Class A Shares purchased in the amount of $1,000,000 or more within 12 months. Class A Shares purchased in the amount of $1,000,000 or more prior to May 1, 2013 will be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge for 18 months from the purchase date.

2   "Distribution (12b-1) Fees" have been restated to reflect the maximum fees to be incurred by the Fund's Class A Shares during the current fiscal year. The Fund

may reimburse expenses up to a maximum of 0.10% under the Fund's distribution plan for Class A Shares. The Board of Trustees has approved a contractual commitment whereby such reimbursements will be no more than the Distribution (12b-1) Fees stated in the table above for the Fund. This commitment continues through September 27, 2013, at which time the Board will determine whether to renew, revise or discontinue it.

3   The Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to waive Management Fees and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses for the Fund to the extent the Fund's "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" exceed 1.23% for Class A Shares, excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, brokerage commissions, dealer and underwriter spreads, commitment fees on leverage facilities, prime broker fees and expenses, interest expense and dividend expenses related to short sales. This contract continues through September 27, 2013, at which time the Adviser will determine whether to renew, revise or discontinue it. The Adviser can be reimbursed by the Fund for any contractual fee reductions or expense reimbursements if reimbursement to the Adviser (a) occurs within the three years following the year in which the Fund accrues a liability or recognizes a contingent liability with respect to such amounts paid, waived or reimbursed by the Adviser and (b) does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of a class to exceed the percentage limit that was in effect at the time the Adviser paid, waived or reimbursed the amount being repaid by the Fund.

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 Class A Shares of 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, except that the Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement and the contractual limitation on Distribution (12b-1) Fees for Class A Shares are reflected only in the one year period below. 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 77% of the average value of its portfolio.

Summary Prospectus 1 of 4 PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Core Fund



PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund primarily invests in stocks of small cap companies. The Fund defines a small cap company as one whose market capitalization falls approximately (i) within the current market capitalization range of companies in the Russell 2000 Index or (ii) below the average, for the past three years, of the highest market capitalization company as of December 31 within the Russell 2000 Index. Using an analytical process together with fundamental research methods, PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") assesses the performance potential of companies and buys those companies that possess both value and growth characteristics. The Adviser assesses a company's prospects by reviewing and analyzing purchase candidates individually. The Fund also utilizes an active trading approach. The Fund may invest in initial public offerings ("IPOs"), the performance of which is unpredictable and the effect of which may not be duplicated during periods in which the Fund does not invest in IPOs. The Fund may also invest in foreign stocks in keeping with the Fund's objectives.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes in small cap companies. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' written notice before changing this 80% policy.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Active Trading Risk. To the extent that the Fund buys and sells securities actively, it could have higher expenses (which reduce return for shareholders) and higher taxable distributions.

Focused Investment Risk. To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in the securities of a particular issuer or companies in a particular country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the Fund's exposure to various risks may be heightened, including price volatility and adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that issuer, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.

Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk. Investments in securities of foreign companies or governments can be more volatile than investments in U.S. companies or governments. Diplomatic, political, or economic developments, including nationalization or expropriation, could affect investments in foreign countries. Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity than U.S. markets. In addition, the values of securities denominated in foreign currencies, and of dividends from such securities, can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign companies or governments generally are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic U.S. companies or governments. Transaction costs are generally higher than those in the U.S. and expenses for custodial arrangements of foreign securities may be somewhat greater than typical expenses for custodial arrangements of similar U.S. securities.

Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks are generally more sensitive to market movements than other types of stocks primarily because their stock prices are based heavily on future expectations. If the Adviser's assessment of the prospects for a company's growth is wrong, or if the Adviser's judgment of how other investors will value the company's growth is wrong, then the price of the company's stock may fall or not approach the value that the Adviser has placed on it. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of the issuer's bonds and preferred stock generally take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

IPO Risk. Securities issued in IPOs have no trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods. In addition, the prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile or may decline shortly after the initial public offering, and the Fund may hold securities purchased in an IPO for a very short period of time. As a result, the Fund's investments in IPOs may increase portfolio turnover, which increases brokerage and administrative costs and may result in taxable distributions to shareholders.

Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that securities prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the stock markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund's securities may fluctuate from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may decline in response.

Small Companies Risk. Small capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, these small companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small cap stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies.

Value Investing Risk. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and from other types of stocks. Value stocks also present the risk that their lower valuations fairly reflect their business prospects and that investors will not agree that the stocks represent favorable investment opportunities, and they may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during any given period. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of the issuer's bonds and preferred stock generally take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

All investments are subject to inherent risks, and an investment in the Fund is no exception. Your investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Accordingly, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The bar chart and the performance table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund's Class A Shares from

1   After-tax returns are shown for Class A Shares. 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 their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In some cases, returns after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be higher than returns before taxes because the calculations assume the investor received a tax deduction for any loss incurred on the sale of shares.
