INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is effective this 16th day of January, 2007, by and between
XXXXXXX NATIONAL ASSET MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company and
registered investment adviser ("Adviser"), and XXXXXXXXX GLOBAL ADVISORS
LIMITED, a Bahamian corporation and registered investment adviser
("Sub-Adviser").
WHEREAS, Adviser is the investment manager for the JNL Series Trust (the
"Trust"), an open-end management investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act");
WHEREAS, the Adviser represents that it has entered into an Investment
Advisory and Management Agreement ("Management Agreement") dated as of January
31, 2001 with the Trust; and
WHEREAS, Adviser desires to retain Sub-Adviser as Adviser's agent to
furnish investment advisory services to the investment portfolios of the Trust
listed on Schedule A hereto ("each a Fund").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT. Adviser hereby appoints Sub-Adviser to provide certain
sub-investment advisory services to the Funds for the period and on
the terms set forth in this Agreement. Sub-Adviser accepts such
appointment and agrees to furnish the services herein set forth for
the compensation herein provided.
2. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS. Adviser has or will furnish Sub-Adviser with
copies properly certified or authenticated of each of the following
prior to the commencement of the Sub-Adviser's services:
a) the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as filed with the
Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts on June
1, 1994, and all amendments, modifications or supplements thereto
or restatements thereof (such Declaration, as presently in effect
and as it shall from time to time be amended, modified,
supplemented or restated, is herein called the "Declaration of
Trust");
b) the Trust's By-Laws and amendments, modifications or supplements
thereto;
c) resolutions of the Trust's Board of Trustees authorizing the
appointment of Sub-Adviser and approving this Agreement;
d) the Trust's Notification of Registration on Form N-8A under the
1940 Act as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") and all amendments thereto;
e) the Trust's Registration Statement on Form N-1A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act") and under the
1940 Act as filed with the SEC and all amendments, modifications
or supplements thereto insofar as such Registration Statement and
such amendments relate to the Funds;
f) the Trust's most recent prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information for the Funds (collectively called the "Prospectus").
The parties agree that the name of the Sub-Adviser, the names of any
affiliates of the Sub-Adviser and any derivatives of such or logo or
trademark or service xxxx or trade name of the Sub-Adviser and its
affiliates including, without limitation, the phrases "Franklin
Xxxxxxxxx Founding Strategy Fund," "Founding Fund," "Founding
Investment Strategy," any derivatives of such and the word "Founding"
when used to indicate an investment strategy or vehicle (altogether
"Sub-Adviser Names") are the valuable property of the Sub-Adviser and
its affiliates.
The Adviser and the Trust may use the name of the Sub-Adviser solely
to identify it as the Sub-Adviser to the Trust as required by law or
governmental regulations. Any other use of a Sub-Adviser Name must be
expressly pre-approved in writing by the Sub-Adviser.
The Adviser and the Trust agree that they will submit for review to
the Sub-Adviser for its approval in writing any proxy statement,
report to shareholders, advertisement, sales literature or marketing
materials prior to its use that uses a Sub-Adviser Name so that the
Sub-Adviser may review the context in which it is referred to, it
being agreed that the Sub-Adviser shall have no responsibility to
ensure the adequacy of the form or content of such materials for
purposes of the 1940 Act or other applicable laws and regulations.
Upon termination of this Agreement, the Adviser and the Trust shall
forthwith cease to use Sub-Adviser Names. If the Adviser or the Trust
makes any unauthorized use of a Sub-Adviser Name, the parties
acknowledge that the Sub-Adviser shall suffer irreparable harm for
which monetary damages may be inadequate and thus, the Sub-Adviser
shall be entitled to injunctive relief, as well as any other remedy
available under law.
Adviser will furnish the Sub-Adviser with copies of all amendments of
or supplements to the items listed in 2(a) through 2(f) above within a
reasonable time before they become effective. Any amendments or
supplements that impact the management of the Funds will not be deemed
effective with respect to the Sub-Adviser until the Sub-Adviser's
approval thereof.
3. MANAGEMENT. Subject always to the supervision of the Adviser, who in
turn is subject to the supervision ---------- of the Trust's Board of Trustees,
Sub-Adviser will furnish an investment program in respect of, and make
investment decisions for, all assets of the Funds and place all orders for the
purchase and sale of securities, including foreign or domestic securities or
other property (including financial futures and options of any type), all on
behalf of the Funds. In the performance of its duties, Sub-Adviser will satisfy
its fiduciary duties to the Funds (as set forth below), and will monitor the
Funds' investments, and to the extent that the Declaration of Trust, Trust's
By-Laws and Prospectus and all amendments, modifications or supplements to them
are received by the Sub-Adviser as required by Section 2 of this Agreement, will
comply with the provisions of Trust's Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, as
amended from time to time, and the investment objectives, policies and
restrictions of the Funds stated in the Prospectus, which may be amended from
time to time. Sub-Adviser and Adviser will each make its officers and employees
available to the other from time to time at reasonable times to review
investment policies of the Funds and to consult with each other regarding the
investment affairs of the Funds. Sub-Adviser will report to the Board of
Trustees and to Adviser with respect to the implementation of such program.
Sub-Adviser, solely with respect to the assets of the Funds which are under its
management pursuant to this Agreement, and based on information obtained from
the Funds' administrator, custodian and other service providers, shall take
reasonable steps to comply with the diversification provisions of Section 817(h)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC"), and its accompanying
Regulation, Treas. Reg. Section 1.817-5, applicable to the Funds.
Adviser will not act in a manner that would result in Sub-Adviser failing
to maintain the required diversification and if the failure to diversify is
inadvertent, Xxxxxxx National Life Insurance Company and any of its affiliates
investing in the Funds, as owner of the assets in the Funds, shall in good faith
and in conjunction with Sub-Adviser follow the procedures specified in Treas.
Reg. Section 1.817-5(a)(2) and Revenue Procedure 92-25 (or its successor) to
request relief from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service, and that in
such an event Adviser shall work in conjunction with Sub-Adviser in the
preparation of any request for relief or closing agreement and, to the extent
that Adviser is seeking indemnification under Section 11 hereof, no filings or
agreements shall be made with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service
without the prior written approval of Sub-Adviser.
The Adviser agrees that the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any failure
to recommend the purchase or sale of any security on behalf of any Fund on the
basis of any information which might, in the Sub-Adviser's opinion, constitute a
violation of any federal or state laws, rules or regulations.
The Sub-Adviser further agrees that it:
a) will use the same skill and care in providing such services as it uses
in providing services to fiduciary accounts for which it has
investment responsibilities;
b) will comply with all applicable Rules and Regulations of the SEC in
all material respects and in addition will conduct its activities
under this Agreement in accordance with any applicable regulations of
any governmental authority pertaining to its investment advisory
activities;
c) will report regularly to Adviser and to the Trust's Board of Trustees
as reasonably agreed between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and will make
appropriate persons available for the purpose of reviewing with
representatives of Adviser and the Board of Trustees on a regular
basis at reasonable times agreed to by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser,
the management of the Funds, including, without limitation, review of
the general investment strategies of the Funds, the performance of the
Funds in relation to the specified benchmarks and will provide various
other reports from time to time as reasonably requested by Adviser;
c) will provide to the Adviser (i) a monthly compliance checklist
developed for each Fund by Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and (ii) quarterly
reports developed for each Fund by Adviser and Sub-Adviser;
e) will prepare and maintain such books and records with respect to each
Fund's securities transactions in accordance with Section 7 herein,
and will furnish Adviser and Trust's Board of Trustees such periodic
and special reports as the Adviser may reasonably request;
f) will prepare and cause to be filed in a timely manner Form 13F and, if
required, Schedule 13G with respect to securities held for the account
of the Funds subject to Sub-Adviser's supervision;
g) will act upon reasonable instructions from Adviser;
h) will treat confidentially and as proprietary information of Trust all
such records and other information relative to the Trust maintained by
the Sub-Adviser, and will not use such records and information for any
purpose other than performance of its responsibilities and duties
hereunder, except after prior notification to and approval in writing
by Trust, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may
not be withheld where the Sub-Adviser may be exposed to civil or
criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply, when requested to
divulge such information by duly constituted authorities, or when so
requested by Trust, provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, Sub-Adviser may disclose such information as required by
applicable law, regulation or upon request by a regulator or auditor
of Sub-Adviser;
i) Decisions on proxy voting will be made by Sub-Adviser unless such
decisions are expressly reserved by Adviser. Sub-Adviser's obligation
to vote proxies shall be contingent upon receipt of proxies from the
Fund custodian in a timely manner. Sub-Adviser shall not be expected
or required to take any action other than the rendering of
investment-related advice with respect to lawsuits involving
securities presently or formerly held in the Fund, or the issuers
thereof. However, Sub-Adviser will use commercially reasonable efforts
to file proofs of claim on behalf of the Fund in securities
class-action suits and SEC settlements which have a proof of claim
process for investors and, in that connection, Sub-Adviser may,
without prior permission or consent, include information about the
Fund. Adviser and Fund acknowledge that by filing a proof of claim on
the Fund's behalf, Sub-Adviser may waive the Fund's right to pursue
separate litigation against the issuer with respect to the subject
matter of the lawsuit. Should Sub-Adviser determine to undertake
litigation against an issuer on behalf of one or more funds,
Sub-Adviser shall obtain the prior written consent of the Fund to
undertake such litigation. If the Fund consents to such litigation,
Adviser and Fund agree to pay the portion of any reasonable legal fees
associated with the action or the Fund will forfeit any claim to any
assets Sub-Adviser may recover on behalf of the Fund up to the amount
of such legal fees owed by the Fund to the Sub-Adviser. If the Fund
does not consent to such litigation, Adviser and Fund agree to hold
Sub-Adviser harmless for excluding the Fund from such action and agree
to indemnify the Sub-Adviser against any claims they may have against
the Sub-Adviser resulting from the Fund exclusion; and
j) may not consult with any other sub-adviser of the Trust concerning
transactions in securities or other assets for any investment
portfolio of the Trusts, including the Funds, except that such
consultations are permitted between the current and successor
sub-advisers of the Funds in order to effect an orderly transition of
sub-advisory duties so long as such consultations are not concerning
transactions prohibited by Section 17(a) of the 1940 Act.
4. CUSTODY OF ASSETS. Sub-Adviser shall at no time have the right to
physically possess the assets of the Funds or have the assets registered in its
own name or the name of its nominee, nor shall Sub-Adviser in any manner acquire
or become possessed of any income, whether in kind or cash, or proceeds, whether
in kind or cash, distributable by reason of selling, holding or controlling such
assets of the Funds. In accordance with the preceding sentence, Sub-Adviser
shall have no responsibility with respect to the collection of income, physical
acquisition or the safekeeping of the assets of the Funds. All such duties of
collection, physical acquisition and safekeeping shall be the sole obligation of
the custodian.
5. BROKERAGE. The Sub-Adviser is responsible for decisions to buy and sell
securities for each Fund, broker-dealer selection, and negotiation of brokerage
commission rates. Sub-Adviser shall have the express authority to negotiate,
open, continue and terminate brokerage accounts and other brokerage arrangements
with respect to all portfolio transactions entered into by Sub-Adviser on behalf
of the Funds. Sub-Adviser will provide copies of futures agreements entered into
by the Funds to the Adviser, if applicable. It is the Sub-Adviser's general
policy in selecting a broker to effect a particular transaction to seek to
obtain "best execution", which means prompt and efficient execution of the
transaction at the best obtainable price with payment of commissions which are
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage services provided by the
broker.
Consistent with this policy, the Sub-Adviser, in selecting broker-dealers
and negotiating commission rates, will take all relevant factors into
consideration, including, but not limited to: the best price available; the
reliability, integrity and financial condition of the broker-dealer; the size of
and difficulty in executing the order; the broker's execution capabilities and
any research provided by the broker that aids the Sub-Adviser's investment
decision-making process. Subject to such policies and procedures as the Trust's
Board of Trustees may determine, the Sub-Adviser shall have discretion to effect
investment transactions for each Fund through broker-dealers (including, to the
extent permissible under applicable law, broker-dealer affiliates) who provide
brokerage and/or research services, as such services are defined in section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and
to cause such Fund to pay any such broker-dealers an amount of commission for
effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of
commission another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction, if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage or research
services provided by such broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either that
particular investment transaction or the Sub-Adviser's overall responsibilities
with respect to such Fund and other accounts to which the Sub-Adviser exercises
investment discretion (as such term is defined in section 3(a)(35) of the 1934
Act). Allocation of orders placed by the Sub-Adviser on behalf of a Fund to such
broker-dealers shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Sub-Adviser shall
determine in good faith in conformity with its responsibilities under applicable
laws, rules and regulations. The Sub-Adviser will submit reports on brokerage
placements to the Adviser as reasonably requested by the Adviser, in such form
as may be mutually agreed to by the parties hereto, indicating the
broker-dealers to whom such allocations have been made and the basis therefore.
6. EXPENSES. The Sub-Adviser shall bear all expenses incurred by it in
connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement. Each Fund
will bear certain other expenses to be incurred in its operation, including, but
not limited to, investment advisory fees, and administration fees; fees for
necessary professional and brokerage services; costs relating to local
administration of securities; and fees for any pricing services. All other
expenses not specifically assumed by the Sub-Adviser hereunder or by the Adviser
under the Management Agreement are borne by the applicable Fund or the Trust.
7. BOOKS AND RECORDS. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3
under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Adviser hereby agrees that all records which it
maintains for the Trust shall be available for inspection by the Trust and
Adviser upon their reasonable request and agrees to provide the Trust with
copies of any of such records upon the Trust's request. Sub-Adviser further
agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act
the records required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act related
to each Fund's portfolio transactions. The Adviser shall maintain all books and
records not related to the Fund's portfolio transactions.
8. COMPENSATION. For the services provided and the expenses assumed
pursuant to this Agreement, Adviser will pay the Sub-Adviser, and the
Sub-Adviser agrees to accept as full compensation therefore, a sub-advisory fee
accrued daily and payable monthly on the average daily net assets in the Funds
in accordance with Schedule B hereto.
9. SERVICES TO OTHERS. Adviser understands, and has advised the Trust's
Board of Trustees, that Sub-Adviser now acts, or may in the future act, as an
investment adviser to fiduciary and other managed accounts, and as investment
adviser or sub-investment adviser to other investment companies or accounts.
Adviser has no objection to Sub-Adviser acting in such capacities, provided that
whenever the Fund and one or more other investment advisory clients of
Sub-Adviser have available funds for investment, investments suitable and
appropriate for each will be allocated in a manner believed by Sub-Adviser to be
equitable to each. Sub-Adviser may group orders for a Fund with orders for other
funds and accounts to obtain the efficiencies that may be available on larger
transactions when it determines that investment decisions are appropriate for
each participating account. Sub-Adviser cannot assure that such policy will not
adversely affect the price paid or received by a Fund. Adviser recognizes, and
has advised Trust's Board of Trustees, that in some cases this procedure may
adversely affect the size and the opportunities of the position that the
participating Fund may obtain in a particular security. In addition, Adviser
understands, and has advised the Trust's Board of Trustees, that the persons
employed by Sub-Adviser to assist in Sub-Adviser's duties under this Agreement
will not devote their full time to such service and nothing contained in this
Agreement will be deemed to limit or restrict the right of Sub-Adviser or any of
its affiliates to engage in and devote time and attention to other businesses or
to render services of whatever kind or nature.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Sub-Adviser, its officers, directors,
employees, agents or affiliates will not be subject to any liability to the
Adviser or the Funds or their directors, officers, employees, agents or
affiliates for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered
by the Funds, any shareholder of the Funds or the Adviser either in connection
with the performance of Sub-Adviser's duties under this Agreement or its failure
to perform due to events beyond the reasonable control of the Sub-Adviser or its
agents, except for a loss resulting from Sub-Adviser's willful misfeasance, or
gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. Federal and State
securities laws may impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons
who act in good faith, and therefore nothing herein shall in any way constitute
a waiver or limitation of any right which Adviser may have under any applicable
laws.
11. INDEMNIFICATION. Adviser and the Sub-Adviser each agree to indemnify
the other party (and each such party's affiliates, employees, directors and
officers) against any claim, damages, loss or liability (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) arising out of any third party claims brought against an
indemnified party that are found to constitute willful misfeasance or gross
negligence on the part of the indemnifying party.
12. DURATION AND TERMINATION. This Agreement will become effective as to a
Fund upon execution or, if later, on the date that initial capital for such Fund
is first provided to it and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, will
continue in effect for two years from the date of its execution. Thereafter, if
not terminated as to a Fund, this Agreement will continue in effect as to a Fund
for successive periods of 12 months, provided that such continuation is
specifically approved at least -------- annually by the Trust's Board of
Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such
Fund, and in either event approved also by a majority of the Trustees of the
Trust who are not interested persons of the Trust, or of the Adviser, or of the
Sub-Adviser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated as
to a Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on sixty days'
written notice by the Trust or Adviser, or on sixty days' written notice by the
Sub-Adviser. This Agreement will immediately terminate in the event of its
assignment. (As used in this Agreement, the terms "majority of the outstanding
voting securities", "interested persons" and "assignment" have the same meaning
of such terms in the 1940 Act.) Section 10 and 11 herein shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
13. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF ADVISER. Adviser acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) The assets of the Account may be invested in futures contracts and
consents to the Sub-Adviser's use of the alternate disclosure and
recordkeeping standards under Commodity Futures Trading Commission
Rule 4.7 with respect to such futures trading, which alternate
standards are available to the Sub-Adviser on account of each Fund's
ownership of securities of issuers not affiliated with the Funds and
other investments with an aggregate market value of at least
$2,000,000 and on account of the Trust's status as an investment
company registered under the 1940 Act (not formed for the specific
purpose of either investing in an exempt pool or opening an exempt
account);
(b) It is excluded from the definition of a commodity pool operator under
CFTC Rule 4.5, and in connection with such exemption has filed a
notice of eligibility and will provide the Sub-Adviser with a copy of
such notice of eligibility before the execution of this Agreement; and
(c) The Adviser hereby acknowledges that not less than forty-eight (48)
hours before the date it has executed this Agreement, it received from
the Sub-Adviser a copy of Part II of Sub-Advisers Form ADV, as
required by Rule 204-(3) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
amended.
14. OBLIGATIONS OF ADVISER. The Adviser agrees to provide or complete, as
the case may be, the following prior to the commencement of the Sub-Adviser's
investment advisory services as specified under this Agreement:
(a) A list of first tier affiliates and second tier affiliates (i.e.,
affiliates of affiliates) of the Fund;
(b) A list of restricted securities for each Fund (including CUSIP, Sedol
or other appropriate security identification); and
(c) A copy of the current compliance procedures for each Fund.
The Adviser also agrees to promptly update the above referenced items in
order to ensure their accuracy, completeness and/or effectiveness.
15. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT. It is understood that any information or
recommendation supplied by, or ----------------------- produced by, Sub-Adviser
in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder is to be
regarded as confidential and for use only by the Adviser and the Trust.
Furthermore, except as required by law (including, but not limited to
semi-annual, annual or other filings made under the 0000 Xxx) or as agreed to by
the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, the Adviser and Trust will not disclose any list of
securities held by the Fund until it is either filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or mailed out to shareholders, which filing or mailing shall
not be made sooner than 30 days after quarter end in any manner whatsoever
except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, except that the top 10
holdings may be disclosed 15 days after month end. In addition, at the end of
each quarter, the Adviser may disclose to certain third party data or service
providers to the Fund, who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with
the Adviser, a list of securities purchased or sold by the Fund during the
quarter.
16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Funds.
No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which
enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
