The Sub-Adviser will place all orders with brokers, dealers, counterparties or issuers, and will negotiate brokerage commissions, spreads and other financial and non-financial terms, as applicable. The Sub-Adviser will always seek the best possible price and execution in the circumstances in all transactions. Subject to the foregoing, the Sub-Adviser is directed at all times to seek to execute transactions for the Fund in accordance with its trading policies, as disclosed by the Sub-Adviser to the Fund from time to time, but in all cases subject to policies and practices established by the Fund and described in the Trust’s registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sub-Adviser may pay a broker-dealer that provides research and brokerage services a higher spread or commission for a particular transaction than otherwise might have been charged by another broker-dealer to the extent permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and by the Trust’s registration statement, if the Sub-Adviser determines that the higher spread or commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services that such broker-dealer provides, viewed in terms of either the particular transaction or the Sub-Adviser’s overall responsibilities with respect to accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser may use for the benefit of the Sub-Adviser’s other clients, or make available to companies affiliated with the Sub-Adviser or to its directors for the benefit of its clients, any such brokerage and research services that the Sub-Adviser obtains from brokers or dealers.
