The Investment Adviser hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render the services to the extent herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided. The Investment Adviser shall, for all purposes herein, be deemed an independent contractor and not an agent of the Series.

2. (a) The Investment Adviser will provide general management services to the Funds, including overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the Funds’ assets, giving due consideration to the policies of the Series as expressed in the Series’ declaration of trust, by-laws, registration statement under the 1940 Act and registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), as well as to the factors affecting the Funds’ status as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(b) The Investment Adviser may delegate its investment management responsibilities under paragraph 2(a), or a portion thereof, to one or more entities that are direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Investment Adviser or at least majority owned subsidiaries of The Capital Group Companies, Inc. and registered as investment advisers under the Investment Adviser’s Act of 1940 (each a “Subsidiary”), pursuant to an agreement between the Investment Adviser and the Subsidiary (the “Subsidiary Agreement”). The Subsidiary Agreement with any Subsidiary to which the Investment Adviser proposes to delegate its investment management responsibilities must be approved by the Series’ Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement nor interested persons of any such party within the meaning of the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”). Any delegation of duties pursuant to this paragraph shall comply with all applicable provisions of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, except to the extent permitted by any exemptive order of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or similar relief.

(c) The Investment Adviser will, subject to the review and approval of the Board of Trustees of the Series: (i) set the Funds’ overall investment strategies; (ii) except to the extent delegated to one or more Subsidiaries, have full investment discretion for the Funds and make all determinations with respect to the investment of the Funds’ assets, and any steps that may be necessary to implement any investment decisions; (iii) evaluate, select and recommend Subsidiaries to manage all or a part of the Funds’ assets; (iv) when appropriate, allocate and reallocate the Funds’ assets among multiple Subsidiaries; (v) monitor and evaluate the performance of Subsidiaries; and (vi) implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the Subsidiaries comply with the Funds’ investment objective, policies and restrictions. The Investment Adviser shall be solely responsible for paying the fees of any Subsidiary.

(d) Any Subsidiary Agreement may provide that the Subsidiary, subject to the control and supervision of the Series’ Board of Trustees and the Investment Adviser, shall have full investment discretion for the Funds and shall make all determinations with respect to (i) the investment of the Funds’ assets assigned to the Subsidiary; (ii) the purchase and sale of portfolio securities with those assets, and (iii) any steps that may be necessary to implement an investment decision. The Investment Adviser will periodically evaluate the continued advisability of retaining any Subsidiary and will make recommendations to the Series’ Board of Trustees, as needed.

(e) The Investment Adviser shall furnish the services of persons to perform the executive, administrative, clerical, and bookkeeping functions of the Funds, including the daily determination of net asset value per share. The Investment Adviser shall pay the compensation and travel expenses of all such persons, and they shall serve without any additional compensation from the Series. The Investment Adviser shall also, at its expense, provide the Series with necessary office space (which may be in the offices of the Investment Adviser); all necessary office equipment and utilities; and general purpose forms, supplies, and postage used at the offices of the Series.

(f) The Investment Adviser shall maintain (and cause each Subsidiary to maintain) all books and records with respect to the Funds’ investment management activities that are required to be maintained pursuant to the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, as well as any other applicable legal requirements. The Investment Adviser acknowledges and agrees that all such records are the property of the Funds, and it shall maintain and preserve such records in accordance with applicable law and provide such records promptly to the Funds upon request.

(g) The Investment Adviser shall prepare and submit to the Funds all data on the performance of its duties as investment adviser for required filings with governmental agencies or for the preparation of reports to the Board of Trustees or the shareholders of the Funds and shall cause each Subsidiary to do so.

(h) The Investment Adviser shall furnish from time to time such other appropriate information as may be reasonably requested by the Funds.

W I T N E S S E T H

The Series is an open-end diversified investment company of the management type, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), consisting of a series of funds, including the Funds listed on Schedule A hereto, and may offer additional series of funds in the future. The Investment Adviser is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and is engaged in the business of providing investment advisory and related services to the Series and to other investment companies.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual undertakings of the parties, it is covenanted and agreed as follows:

2. (a) The Investment Adviser will provide general management services to the Funds, including setting the Funds’ overall investment strategies and managing each Fund’s assets, which shall include making determinations with respect to (i) the investment of the Funds’ assets, (ii) the purchase and sale of portfolio securities and (iii) taking any steps that may be necessary to implement investment decisions, giving due consideration to the policies of the Series as expressed in the Series’ declaration of trust, by-laws, registration statement under the 1940 Act and registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), as well as to the factors affecting the Funds’ status as regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(b) The Investment Adviser may delegate its investment management responsibilities under paragraph 2(a), or a portion thereof, to one or more sub-advisers that are registered as investment advisers under the Investment Adviser’s Act of 1940 (each a “Sub-Adviser”), pursuant to a written agreement between the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Any Sub-Adviser to which the Investment Adviser proposes to delegate its investment management responsibilities for a Fund must be approved by the Series’ Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party (“Independent Trustees”), and, if required by applicable law, the shareholders of such Fund.

The Investment Adviser will periodically evaluate the continued advisability of retaining any Sub-Adviser and will make recommendations to the Series’ Board of Trustees, as needed.

(e) The Investment Adviser shall furnish the services of persons to perform the executive, administrative, clerical, and bookkeeping functions of the Series and Funds. The Investment Adviser shall pay the compensation and travel expenses of all such persons, and they shall serve without any additional compensation from the Series or the Funds.

(f) The Investment Adviser shall furnish or arrange for the furnishing of fund accounting services to the Funds, including the daily determination

Each Fund shall be responsible for the fees and expenses associated with the provision of such fund accounting services for such Fund, which are separate and distinct from the fees paid by each Fund pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement. The Investment Adviser may delegate its fund accounting responsibilities to a third-party fund accounting service provider (“Third Party Accounting Provider”) to provide such services for any or all of the Funds. Any Third Party Accounting Provider to which the Investment Adviser proposes to delegate its fund accounting responsibilities for a Fund must be approved by the Series’ Board of Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees. The Investment Adviser will, subject to the review and approval of the Board of Trustees of the Series: (i) evaluate, select and recommend Third Party Accounting Providers to provide fund accounting services for a Fund; (ii) monitor and evaluate the performance of any Third Party Accounting Provider; and (iii) implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the Third Party Accounting Provider is providing all fund accounting services in compliance with the Series’ and Funds’ policies and procedures and applicable regulations.

(g) The Investment Adviser or the Sub-Adviser, as the case may be, shall maintain all books and records with respect to the Funds’ investment management activities that are required to be maintained pursuant to the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, as well as any other applicable legal requirements.

(h) The Investment Adviser shall prepare and submit to the Funds all data on the performance of its duties as investment adviser for required filings with governmental agencies or for the preparation of reports to the Board of Trustees or the shareholders of the Funds.

(i) The Investment Adviser shall furnish from time to time such other appropriate information as may be reasonably requested by the Series or the Funds.

4. (a) The Investment Adviser acknowledges that it receives compensation in its role as an investment adviser for the underlying funds in which the Funds are invested and accordingly, the Investment Adviser agrees that its provision of the services under this Agreement shall not be subject to additional compensation except for amounts paid for the management and/or oversight of the managed risk strategy of any Fund as described below.

(b) The Funds shall pay to the Investment Adviser on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month, as compensation for the services rendered for the management and/or oversight of a Fund’s managed risk strategy during the preceding month, fees calculated on such Fund’s net assets at the annual rates set forth on Schedule A hereto.

8. The Investment Adviser shall not be liable to the Series, the Funds or the Funds’ shareholders for any error of judgment, for any mistake of law, for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act, or omission not involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.

9. The obligations of the Series and the Funds under this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers, employees, agents or shareholders of the Series and the Funds individually, but bind only the Series’ and each Fund’s estate. The Investment Adviser agrees to look solely to the assets of each Fund for the satisfaction of any liability in respect of such Fund under this Agreement and will not seek recourse against such Trustees, officers, employees, agents or shareholders, or any of them, or any of their personal assets for such satisfaction.
