Brokerage Transactions Subject to the provisions of this Section 5 and absent instructions from the Investment Adviser or the Trust, the Subadviser will have full discretionary authority to place orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the account of the Fund with such brokers or dealers as it may select. In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Subadviser is directed at all times to seek for the Fund the most favorable execution and net price available. It is also understood, however, that it is desirable for the Fund that the Subadviser have access to supplemental investment and market research and security and economic analyses provided by certain brokers who may execute brokerage transactions at higher commissions to the Fund than may result when allocating brokerage to other brokers solely on the basis of seeking the most favorable price and efficient execution. Therefore, the Subadviser is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund with such certain brokers, subject to applicable laws and regulations and review by the Investment Adviser and the Trusts Board of Trustees from time to time with respect to the extent and continuation of this practice. It is understood that the services provided by such brokers may be useful to the Subadviser in connection with its services to other clients. On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of the Fund as well as other clients of the Subadviser, the Subadviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of securities so sold or purchased, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Subadviser in the manner the Subadviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients. The Subadviser will report on such allocations at the request of the Investment Adviser, the Fund or the Trusts Board of Trustees, providing such information as the number of aggregated trades to which the Fund was a party, the broker(s) to whom such trades were directed and the basis of the allocation for the aggregated trades. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 and at the direction of the Investment Adviser or the Trust, the Subadviser may also consider sales of Fund shares as a factor in the selection of brokers or dealers for a Funds portfolio transactions. In connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the account of the Fund, neither the Subadviser nor any of its affiliated persons, will act as a principal or agent or receive directly or indirectly any compensation in connection with the purchase or sale of investment securities by the Fund, except as permitted by applicable law and with the express written consent of the Trust and the Investment Adviser. The Subadviser will advise the Funds custodian and the Investment Adviser on a prompt basis of each purchase and sale of a portfolio security, specifying the name of the issuer, the description and amount or number of shares of the security purchased or sold, the market price, commission and gross or net price, trade date, settlement date and identity of the effecting broker or dealer, and such other information as may be reasonably required.
Trading With respect to the securities and other investments to be purchased or sold for the Fund, Subadviser shall place orders with or through such persons, brokers, dealers, or futures commission merchants (including, but not limited to, broker-dealers that are affiliated with AEFC or Subadviser) selected by Subadviser; provided, however, that such orders shall be consistent with the brokerage policy set forth in the Fund's Prospectus and SAI, or approved by the Board; conform with federal securities laws; and be consistent with securing the most favorable price and efficient execution. Within the framework of this policy, Subadviser may consider the research, investment information, and other services provided by, and the financial responsibility of, brokers, dealers, or futures commission merchants who may effect, or be a party to, any such transaction or other transactions to which Subadviser's other clients may be a party.
