Exchange Traded versus Over-the-Counter Transactions Sample Clauses

Exchange Traded versus Over-the-Counter Transactions. 3 These definitions are based in whole or in part on definitions found in Washington state insurance laws as may be amended from time to time. Derivative transactions may be traded through an exchange or through the more specialized over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. While derivative exchanges provide ease of access to a ready market for derivative transactions, a higher degree of liquidity and the mitigation or elimination of counterparty credit risk, exchanges require uniformity of terms among transactions and therefore, may not always accomplish the underlying investment objective. In contrast, while OTC transactions are generally less liquid and expose the parties to counterparty credit risk, they allow counterparties to structure more customized transactions to accomplish more closely the objective for entering into the derivative transaction. In addition, the wide use of standardized documentation, such as the forms of Master Agreements published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”), has created a certain degree of uniformity and standardization in OTC transactions. The Investment Manager shall evaluate the characteristics of an exchange-traded versus OTC derivative transaction, including underlying counterparty credit exposure, before engaging in a derivative transaction. As a general rule, the Investment Manager will emphasize the use of exchange-traded derivatives and reasonably liquid OTC derivatives, while taking advantage of less liquid, customized OTC derivatives only when appropriate.

  • Agency Cross Transactions From time to time, the Sub-Advisor or brokers or dealers affiliated with it may find themselves in a position to buy for certain of their brokerage clients (each an “Account”) securities which the Sub-Advisor’s investment advisory clients wish to sell, and to sell for certain of their brokerage clients securities which advisory clients wish to buy. Where one of the parties is an advisory client, the Advisor or the affiliated broker or dealer cannot participate in this type of transaction (known as a cross transaction) on behalf of an advisory client and retain commissions from both parties to the transaction without the advisory client’s consent. This is because in a situation where the Sub-Advisor is making the investment decision (as opposed to a brokerage client who makes his own investment decisions), and the Sub-Advisor or an affiliate is receiving commissions from one or both sides of the transaction, there is a potential conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities on the Sub-Advisor’s part regarding the advisory client. The SEC has adopted a rule under the Advisers Act which permits the Sub-Advisor or its affiliates to participate on behalf of an Account in agency cross transactions if the advisory client has given written consent in advance. By execution of this Agreement, the Trust authorizes the Sub-Advisor or its affiliates to participate in agency cross transactions involving an Account. The Trust may revoke its consent at any time by written notice to the Sub-Advisor.
