Whereas, the Adviser has entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory and Management Agreement effective as of September 13, 2021, with JNL Series Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), consisting of multiple series (each, a “Fund”);

3. | Management. Subject always to the supervision of the Adviser, who in turn is subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, Sub-Adviser will furnish an investment program in respect of, and make investment decisions for, all assets of the Fund and place all orders for the purchase and sale of securities, all on behalf of the Fund. In the performance of its duties, Sub-Adviser will satisfy its fiduciary duties to the Fund (as set forth below), and will monitor the Fund’s investments, and will comply with the provisions of Trust’s Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, as amended from time to time, and the stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund. 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 Fund and to consult with each other regarding the investment affairs of the Fund. 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 Fund that are under its management pursuant to this Agreement, is responsible for compliance with the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to the Fund. |
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 conform with all applicable Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 comply with all foreign laws, regulations, and regulatory requirements as set forth by foreign regulatory agencies, as applicable; |
Page 2 of 10
d) | will report regularly to Adviser and to the Board of Trustees 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 Fund, including, without limitation, review of the general investment strategies of the Fund, the performance of the Fund in relation to standard industry indices, interest rate considerations and general conditions affecting the marketplace and will provide various other reports from time to time as reasonably requested by Adviser; |
e) | 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; (iii) other compliance and reporting information as reasonably requested by the Adviser or the Board of Trustees from time-to-time; |
f) | as a service provider to the Funds will cooperate fully with the Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust in the execution of his/her responsibilities to monitor service providers to the Funds under Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, including any applicable document requests; |
g) | will prepare and maintain such books and records with respect to the Fund’s securities transactions and will furnish Adviser and the Board of Trustees such periodic and special reports as the Adviser may request; |
h) | will act upon reasonable instructions from Adviser (except as to the voting of proxies) not inconsistent with the fiduciary duties hereunder; |
i) | 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; |
j) | consistent with its fiduciary duties to each Fund and on the Fund’s behalf, the Sub-Adviser is hereby appointed the Fund’s agent to exercise in its direction all rights and performs all duties with respect to the Fund’s right to vote (or refrain from voting), each Fund’s securities and exercise rights in corporate actions or otherwise in accordance with the Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting guidelines, as amended from time to time, which shall be provided to the Trust and the Adviser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sub-Adviser will have full discretion in this regard and the Adviser will not attempt to influence the Sub-Adviser’s voting decisions. The Sub-Adviser further agrees to report significant shareholdings for itself and on behalf of the Fund where required by local law, as applicable to the Sub-Adviser and any holdings of the Fund; and |
Page 3 of 10
k) | at its expense, will furnish: (i) all necessary facilities and personnel, including salaries, expenses, and fees of any personnel required for the Sub-Adviser to faithfully perform its duties under this Agreement; and (ii) administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, and all equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the Sub-Adviser’s duties under this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser shall, at its expense, bear any reasonable fees or costs associated with regulatory investigations or litigation arising from or pertaining to (i) the services provided by the Sub-Adviser under the Agreement (but excluding regulatory investigations and litigation for services provided and/or fees charged by the Adviser or any third party and/or fees charged pursuant to this Agreement); and (ii) the Sub-Adviser’s general business operations that require the involvement or participation of the Adviser, the Fund, and/or any Trustee of the Fund. The Adviser shall, at its expense, bear any reasonable fees or costs associated with regulatory investigations or litigation arising from or pertaining to (i) the services provided by the Adviser (but excluding regulatory investigations and litigation for services provided and/or fees charged by the Sub-Adviser or any third party and/or fees charged pursuant to this Agreement) and (ii) the Adviser’s or Fund’s general business operations that require the involvement or participation of the Sub-Adviser. A party’s aggregate liability to the other for all fees and costs under this section shall not exceed the aggregate fees paid by Adviser to Sub-Adviser during the prior 12 months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations of liability set forth above shall not apply to any indemnification obligations hereunder. |
The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser each further agree that:
a) | to the extent that the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (“CEA”), and the then-current Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) regulations require (i) registration by either party as a Commodity Pool Operator or Commodity Trading Advisor, (ii) specific disclosure, or as applicable to it (iii) filing of reports and other documents, each shall comply with such requirements; |
b) | Sub-Adviser shall comply with all requirements of the applicable CEA and then-current CFTC regulations that apply to Sub-Adviser with regard to the Fund, and with regard to all Funds for which it serves as Sub-Adviser; |
c) | each of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser shall provide reasonable cooperation to the other party to assist the other party in fulfilling any disclosure or reporting requirements applicable to it with regard to its respective duties under the Agreement, or with regard to the Fund under the CEA and/or then-current CFTC regulations; |
d) | without Adviser’s prior consent to each transaction, Sub-Adviser shall have full discretionary authority as agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and full authority in each Fund’s name, to (a) buy, sell, hold, exchange, convert or otherwise deal in any manner in any assets; (b) place orders for the execution of such assets and other transactions with or through such brokers, dealers, counter-parties, issuers, agents or arrangers as Sub-Adviser may select; (c) execute, enter into and perform, on behalf of a Fund, such brokerage, derivatives, subscription and other agreements and documents (including, without limitation, International Swaps & Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreements or amendments, Credit Support Annexes (and any schedules thereto), LSTA, and/or Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement or MSFTA documentation) as Sub-Adviser deems necessary or appropriate in connection with each Fund’s investment activities (collectively, “Derivatives Contracts”); and (d) negotiate, enter into, make and perform any other contracts, agreements or other undertakings it may deem advisable in connection with the performance of the Sub-Adviser’s duties hereunder; and |
Page 4 of 10
e) | the Adviser will cooperate fully, and cause the Fund to cooperate fully, with the Sub-Adviser as the Sub-Adviser reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Fund and/or the Adviser, as the case may be, performs its obligations under any Derivatives Contracts. |
4. | 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. 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; and the value of the expected contribution of the broker-dealer to the investment performance of the applicable Fund on a continuing basis. Subject to such policies and procedures as the 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-dealers 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 such allocations 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.
5. | 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, sub-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. |
6. | 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 are the property of the Trust and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Trust any of such records upon the Trust’s request, copies of which may be retained by the Sub-Adviser. 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. |
Page 5 of 10
7. | 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. |
8. | Services to Others. Adviser understands, and has advised the 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 the 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 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. |
9. | Limitation of Liability. Sub-Adviser, its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates will not be subject to any liability to the Adviser or the Fund or their directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund, any shareholder of the Fund or the Adviser in connection with the performance of Sub-Adviser’s duties under this Agreement, except for a loss resulting from Sub-Adviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. |
10. | Indemnification. Adviser and the Sub-Adviser each agree to indemnify the other against any claim against, loss or liability to such other party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any action on the part of the indemnifying party which constitutes willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. |

11. | Duration and Termination. The 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 through September 30, 2023. Thereafter, if not terminated as to a Fund, this Agreement will continue from year to year through September 30th of each successive year following the initial period, for each Fund covered by this Agreement, as listed on Schedule A, provided that such continuation is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund(s), 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 (“Independent Trustees”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated as to a Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Fund, on sixty days’ written notice to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, or by the Adviser with the consent of the Board of Trustees (including a majority of the Independent Trustees), or on sixty days’ written notice by the Sub-Adviser to the Trust and the other party. 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 as in the 1940 Act.) |
12. | Acknowledgements of Adviser. |
a) | If the Sub-Adviser is registered as a Commodity Trading Advisor under the CEA, the Adviser consents to the Sub-Adviser’s compliance with the alternative disclosure and recordkeeping standards available to exempt accounts under CFTC Rule 4.7 with respect to a Fund’s trading in commodity interests, provided that the Sub-Adviser has duly filed a notice of claim for such relief pursuant to Rule 4.7(d). The Adviser will take reasonable steps to cooperate with the Sub-Adviser in connection with establishing and maintaining such exemption under Rule 4.7, including, upon request, confirming whether a Fund is a “qualified eligible person” as defined in Rule 4.7. |
b) | If the Adviser is excluded from the definition of a commodity pool operator under CFTC Rule 4.5 with respect to a Fund, the Adviser will furnish the Sub-Adviser with a copy of the notice of eligibility filed pursuant to Rule 4.5 (c) with respect to such exclusion, or, if more recent, the most recent annual notice affirming the basis of such eligibility that has been filed pursuant to Rule 4.5(c)(5). |

It is understood that any information or recommendation supplied 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. Without limiting the foregoing, the Adviser and the Trust will only disclose portfolio information in accordance with the Trust’s portfolio information policy as adopted by the Board of Trustees. |
Page 7 of 10
The confidential treatment of the information noted in this Agreement shall also apply to information shared between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser relating to potential future funds for which the Adviser may wish to retain the Sub-Adviser’s investment advisory services.
