Arden Alternative Strategies II

The main strategies that may be employed by the Fund's Sub-Advisers include:

•	Relative Value Strategies, which seek to exploit differences in valuation through the simultaneous purchase and sale of related financial instruments;
•	Event Driven Strategies, which involve investing in securities of companies currently or prospectively involved in a wide variety of corporate transactions or other events where the investment thesis is predicated on the anticipated effect of such transactions or events;
•	Global Macro/Fixed Income Strategies, which seek to analyze macroeconomic variables to identify dislocations and forecast future moves in global asset/securities prices on a directional or relative value basis; and
•	Equity Hedge (Long/Short) Strategies, which seek to identify equities that are trading under or over their perceived intrinsic value or are deemed to be mispriced based on fundamental, statistical, technical or other factors.
•	Tactical and Other Strategies, which relate to a variety of strategic and opportunistic investment strategies not captured above, such as short-term trading opportunities.

As a result of the Sub-Advisers' strategies, the Fund may invest in long and short positions in, among other investments: equity and fixed income securities of U.S. companies and non-U.S. companies traded on U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges and in the over-the-counter markets, financial futures and options thereon, foreign currency forward contracts, and in asset-based investments such as real estate mortgages and tax liens. Derivatives may be used by the Fund for a variety of purposes, such as to seek economic exposure to one or more alternative strategies, enhance returns, increase investment flexibility, speculate on a targeted investment opportunity, or for hedging purposes. The Sub-Advisers use speculative investment practices, including leverage, that could increase the Fund’s volatility. Leverage, for example, is created through the Fund’s use of short sales, securities lending and derivatives.

The Sub-Advisers have broad discretion in the types of securities or instruments they may own, the type of trading strategies they may employ, and the amount of leverage they may use. The risk of loss may be significant if a Sub-Adviser employs valuation assumptions or credit judgments that are incorrect, incorrectly evaluates market conditions or the nature and extent of spread relationships, or otherwise makes investment decisions that prove to be unprofitable.

Additionally, up to 20% of the Fund's assets may be managed directly by the Adviser. The Adviser may invest up to 10% of these assets in hedge funds, funds traded publicly on foreign exchanges, and, to a lesser extent, affiliated and unaffiliated open-end and closed-end registered investment companies (“Underlying Funds”). A portion of the Fund's net assets (up to 15%) is expected to be invested in one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands (each, a “Subsidiary”). Any Subsidiary will be advised by the Adviser and may invest its assets in Underlying Funds or limited liability companies or other business entities (each, a “Trading Entity”), the trading of each of which will be managed on a discretionary basis by a different third-party manager or Sub-Adviser, typically a commodity trading advisor (a “Trading Advisor”) pursuant to such Trading Advisor's commodity-related investment program (a “managed futures program”). All or a portion of a Subsidiary's assets may also be managed directly by a Trading Advisor which, in this case, would serve as a Sub-Adviser to the Subsidiary and indirectly the Fund.

The Fund's investments are subject to a variety of risks that may cause the Fund's net asset value to fluctuate over time. Therefore, the value of your investment in the Fund could decline and you could lose money. Also, there is no assurance that the Adviser or the Sub-Advisers will achieve the Fund's objective.

As an investor in the Fund, your investment is subject to the following risks:

•	Multi-Manager Risk is that the success of the Fund's investment strategy depends on, among other things, the Adviser's ability to select Sub-Advisers to implement the Fund's investment objective and the Adviser's success in allocating assets to those Sub-Advisers.
•	Event-Driven Trading involves the risk that the event identified may not occur as anticipated or may not have the anticipated effect, which may result in a negative impact upon the market price of securities held by the Fund.
•	Equity Market Risk is the risk that the market value of the securities in which the Fund invests may fall or fail to rise.
•	Market Volatility Risk is the risk that markets are volatile and the values of individual securities and other instruments can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market values.
•	Company Risk is the risk that a company in which the Fund is invested may perform poorly, and therefore, the value of its stocks and other securities may decline.
•	Differential Strategy Risk. Based on various business, regulatory and other considerations, the Adviser and Sub - Advisers may choose to pursue an investment strategy for the Fund which differs from the investment strategies pursued by other funds, accounts or other investment vehicles managed by the Adviser or Sub - Adviser (“Related Accounts”), which could adversely affect the Fund as such differences could cause the Fund’s performance to deviate materially from those of the Related Accounts.
•	Risks of Foreign Investing is the risk that because the Fund may invest in foreign securities, the Fund may be subject to the risks associated with foreign securities, such as country risk (the potentially adverse political, economic and other conditions of the country), currency risk (the constantly changing exchange rate between a local currency and the U.S. dollar) and custody risk (the risk associated with the process of clearing and settling Fund trades in foreign markets). This risk also includes the risk of investing in offshore funds, which are not subject to the investor protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and also give rise to the aforementioned risks of foreign investing. Changes in tax and other laws could also adversely affect investments in offshore Underlying Funds.
•	Emerging and Developing Markets Risk is the risk associated with the Fund's investments in securities of companies located or traded in developing or emerging markets, which are at an early stage of development and are significantly volatile. Therefore, the above risks of foreign investing are often more pronounced in these markets.
•	Derivatives may be a significant component of the Fund's investment strategy. Derivatives are subject to the risk that gains or losses may be substantial, because a relatively small price movement in the underlying security(ies), instrument, currency or index may result in a substantial gain or loss. Derivatives will typically increase exposure to the principal risks to which the Fund is otherwise exposed, and are subject to the following additional risks:

○	Counterparty credit risk (the risk that a counterparty to the derivative instrument becomes bankrupt, insolvent, enters administration, liquidates or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, and the Fund may obtain no recovery of its investment, and any recovery may be delayed);
○	Hedging risk (the risk that derivative instruments used to hedge against an opposite position may offset losses, but they may also offset gains);

---

Summary Prospectus

○	Correlation risk (the risk that there may be an incomplete correlation between the hedge and the opposite position, which may result in increased or unanticipated losses);
○	Liquidity risk (the risk that the derivative instrument may be difficult or impossible to sell or terminate); and
○	Leverage risk (the risk that losses from the derivative instrument may be greater than the amount invested in the derivative instrument).

•	Derivatives Futures Risk is the risk that the Fund may be exposed to if it enters into futures contracts, including currency, bond, commodity, index and interest rate futures, for investment purposes, for risk management (hedging) purposes, and to increase flexibility. The volatility of futures contracts prices has been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures markets depends on participants entering into off-setting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible price movement.  These risks are in addition to the general “Derivatives Risks” described above.
•	Derivatives Options Risk is the risk that the Fund may be exposed to when it purchases or sells call or put options, which are in addition to the risks relating to “Derivatives” described above. In order for a call option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must rise sufficiently above the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs. These costs will reduce any profit that might have realized had it bought the underlying security at the time it purchased the call option. For a put option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security must decline sufficiently below the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs. By using put options in this manner, the Fund will reduce any profit it might otherwise have realized from appreciation of the underlying security by the premium paid for the put option and by transaction costs. If the Fund sells a put option, there is a risk that the Fund may be required to buy the underlying asset at a disadvantageous price. If the Fund sells a call option, there is a risk that the Fund may be required to sell the underlying asset at a disadvantageous price. If the Fund sells a call option on an underlying asset that the Fund owns and the underlying asset has increased in value when the call option is exercised, the Fund will be required to sell the underlying asset at the call price and will not be able to realize any of the underlying asset's value above the call price.
•	Derivatives Swaps Risk involves greater risks than direct investment in the underlying securities, because swaps are subject to the risks relating to “Derivatives” described above. Further, total return swaps are also subject to the particular risk that the swaps could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Such transactions can have the potential for unlimited losses.
•	Short Sales are expected to comprise a significant component of the Fund's investment strategy. It is considered a speculative investment practice. A short sale of a security involves the risk of an unlimited increase in the market price of the security which could result in an inability to cover the short position and thus a theoretically unlimited loss. Short sales may also subject the Fund to leverage risk ( i.e., the risk that losses could well exceed the Fund's investment). This can occur, for example, when the Fund fails to earn as much on an investment purchased with borrowed funds as it pays for the use of those funds. There can be no assurance that securities necessary to cover a short position will be available for purchase.
•	Debt Securities held by the Fund are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a debt security will be unable to make interest payments or repay principal when it becomes due.

	Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a debt security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. The Fund may invest in “high yield”, lower rated (or unrated) securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). These instruments are considered speculative and have a much greater risk of default, thereby subjecting the Fund to greater degrees of credit risk (risk of loss) and interest rate risk than higher - rated securities.
•	Convertible Securities held by the Fund are subject to the usual risks associated with debt securities, such as interest rate risk and credit risk. Convertible securities also react to changes in the value of the stock into which they convert, and are thus subject to market risk.
•	Leverage. Some or all of the Fund's Sub-Advisers may borrow money from banks for investment purposes and, thus, the Fund may make margin purchases of securities, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. This practice, which is known as “leverage,” is speculative and can involve significant risk of loss. The Fund is also subject to leverage risk in connection with the Sub-Advisers' speculative investment practices, such as using short sales, securities lending, reverse repurchase agreements, derivatives or other instruments where the risk of loss exceeds the amount invested.
•	Leverage – Securities Lending. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund’s total assets. These loans will be secured by collateral designated by the Adviser (consisting of cash and/or liquid securities) maintained in an amount equal to at least 100% of the market value, determined daily, of the loaned securities. The Fund will be entitled to the interest and dividends on its loaned securities. These loans are expected to be used to leverage the Fund’s assets – i.e. , while the Fund continues to receive the income on the loaned securities, it can invest the cash collateral received in any securities or instruments consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and earn returns thereon. The Fund will be required to return the collateral with interest at a predetermined fixed or floating rate and because the Fund’s interest obligation and transaction costs may turn out to be greater or less than the return on the Fund’s investment of the collateral, the Fund may lose or gain from engaging in the securities lending transaction.

Annual Total Returns

A bar chart and past performance table are not included in this Prospectus because the Fund has not completed a full calendar year of operations. After completion of its first calendar year of operations, the Fund will present these items and compare its performance to the performance of an index (showing how the Fund's average annual returns over various periods compare with those of its index).

Investment Adviser. Arden Asset Management LLC, located at 375 Park Avenue, 32nd Floor, New York, New York 10152, manages the investments of the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement.

Portfolio Managers of the Adviser. The overall management of the Fund's portfolio is the responsibility of the Adviser's Investment Committee, which is comprised of Averell H. Mortimer, Henry P. Davis, Ian McDonald and Shakil Riaz.

The Investment Committee is responsible for analysis of investment strategies, including strategies to be added to the Fund, and searches for and research on new potential Sub-Advisers and for security selection when the Adviser invests the Fund’s assets directly. Each member of the Investment Committee has managed the Fund since its inception.
