Short Theme: U.S Stock Exchanges

Investment Thesis:• Market consolidation has led to competition concerns

• Operates as an Oligopoly 13 exchanges with 12 of them owned by three companies (58% market share)

• Business mix has shifted to increasing exchange fees which we believe is unsustainable

• We believe regulatory initiatives will adversely effect exchanges

• Brett Redfearn, formerly head of all Market Structure at JPMorgan, recently left to become the Head of the SEC’s trading and market division. Redfearn’s main goal as head of the SEC’s trading & market division is to reform the exchanges and lower prices.

New Short: Cambrex (CBM)

20

Company Discretion:• Manufactures pharmaceutical ingredients for

drug manufacturers• GILD is CBM’s largest customer (35% sales)

Investment Thesis:• Gilead’s Hep C Franchise meaningfully improved

CBM’s sales and margins, however, we believe the decline in the Gilead business will now drive meaningfully lower margins

• An international competitor experienced similar margin improvement to CBM and margin are now down over 1,000bps

• Significant insider selling by management with strong track record of selling before disappointing events

• We expect management to rebase margin expectations lower over next 1-2 quarters.

Legal Disclaimers

Otter Creek Advisors, LLC is the Advisor to the Otter Creek Long/Short Opportunity Fund which is distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC.

The Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The statutory and summary prospectuses contain this and other important information about the investment company, and may be obtained by calling 1‐855‐681‐5261 or visiting www.ottercreekfunds.com.  Read carefully before investing. 

Mutual fund investing involves risk; Principal loss is possible. The Fund is non‐diversified meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. Investments in debt securities typically decrease when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer‐term debt securities. Investments in lower‐rated and non‐rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities. Investments in Asset‐Backed and Mortgage‐Backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Investments in foreign securities involve political, economic, and currency risks, greater volatility, and differences in accounting methods. The Fund may use certain types of exchange traded funds or investment derivatives. Derivatives involve risks different from, and in certain cases, greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more than the amount invested. ETF investments involve additional risks such as the market price trading at a discount to its net asset value, an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a fund's ability to sell its shares. Short sales of securities involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. Investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) which concentrate investments in the natural resource sector and are subject to the risks of energy prices and demand and the volatility of commodity investments.  Damage to facilities and infrastructure of MLPs may significantly affect the value of an investment and may incur environmental costs and liabilities due to the nature of their business. MLPs are subject to significant regulation and may be adversely affected by changes in the regulatory environment. Investments in IPOs are subject to market and liquidity risks and such investments may have a magnified impact on the performance of the Fund. To qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), the Fund must meet certain income source, asset diversification and annual distribution requirements. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC for any reason, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation and would become (or remain) subject to corporate income tax. The resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce the Fund's net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of the Fund's distributions.It is not possible to invest directly in an index.EPS Growth is not a measure of the Fund’s future performance
