2. Portfolio Management Duties. Subject to the supervision of
---------------------------
the Trust's Board of Trustees and the Adviser, the Portfolio Manager will
provide a continuous investment program for the Funds and determine the
composition of the assets of the Funds, including determination of the purchase,
retention, or sale of the securities, cash, and other investments for the Funds.
The Portfolio Manager will provide investment research and analysis, which may
consist of computerized investment methodology, and will conduct a continuous
program of evaluation, investment, sales, and reinvestment of the Fund's assets
by determining the securities and other investments that shall be purchased,
entered into, sold, closed, or exchanged for the Funds, when these transactions
should be executed, and what portion of the assets of the Funds should be held
in the various securities and other investments in which it may invest, and the
Portfolio Manager is hereby authorized to execute and perform such services on
behalf of the Funds. To the extent permitted by
- 2 -
the investment policies of the Funds, the Portfolio Manager shall make decisions
for the Funds as to foreign currency matters and make determinations as to the
retention or disposition of foreign currencies or securities or other
instruments denominated in foreign currencies, or derivative instruments based
upon foreign currencies, including forward foreign currency contracts and
options and futures on foreign currencies and shall execute and perform the same
on behalf of each Fund. The Portfolio Manager will provide the services under
this Agreement in accordance with the Funds' investment objective or objectives,
investment policies, and investment restrictions as stated in the Trust's
Registration Statement filed on Form N-1A with the SEC, as supplemented or
amended from time to time, copies of which shall be sent to the Portfolio
Manager by the Adviser. In performing these duties, the Portfolio Manager:
(a) Shall conform with the 1940 Act and all rules and regulations
thereunder, all other applicable federal and state laws and
regulations, with any applicable procedures adopted by the
Trust's Board of Trustees, and with the provisions of the Trust's
Registration Statement filed on Form N-1A, as supplemented or
amended from time to time.
(b) Shall use reasonable efforts to manage each Fund so that it
qualifies as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of
the Internal Revenue Code.
(c) Is responsible, in connection with its responsibilities under
this Section 2, for decisions to buy and sell securities and
other investments for the Funds, for broker-dealer and futures
commission merchant ("FCM") selection, and for negotiation of
commission rates. The Portfolio Manager's primary consideration
in effecting a security or other transaction will be to obtain
the best execution for the Funds, taking into account the factors
specified in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information for the Trust, as they may be amended or supplemented
from time to time.
Subject to such policies as the Board of Trustees may determine
and consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, the Portfolio Manager shall not be deemed to have acted
unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement
or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Funds to
pay a broker or dealer, acting as agent, for effecting a
portfolio transaction at a price in excess
- 3 -
of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have
charged for effecting that transaction, if the Portfolio Manager
determines in good faith that such amount of commission was
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research
services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of
either that particular transaction or the Portfolio Manager's
overall responsibilities with respect to the Funds and to its
other clients as to which it exercises investment discretion. To
the extent consistent with these standards, and in accordance
with Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
Rule 11a2-(T) thereunder, and subject to any other applicable
laws and regulations, the Portfolio Manager is further authorized
to allocate the orders placed by it on behalf of the Funds to the
Portfolio Manager if it is registered as a broker or dealer with
the SEC, to its affiliate that is registered as a broker or
dealer with the SEC, or to such brokers and dealers that also
provide research or statistical research and material, or other
services to the Funds or the Portfolio Manager. Such allocation
shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Portfolio Manager
shall determine consistent with the above standards, and, upon
request, the Portfolio Manager will report on said allocation to
the Adviser and Board of Trustees of the Trust, indicating the
brokers or dealers to which such allocations have been made and
the basis therefor.
(d) May, on occasions when the purchase or sale of a security is
deemed to be in the best interest of a Fund as well as any other
investment advisory clients, to the extent permitted by
applicable laws and regulations, but shall not be obligated to,
aggregate the securities to be so sold or purchased with those of
its other clients where such aggregation is not inconsistent with
the policies set forth in the Registration Statement. In such
event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well
as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the
Portfolio Manager in a manner that is fair and equitable in the
judgment of the Portfolio Manager in the exercise of its
fiduciary obligations to the Trust and to such other clients.
(e) Will, in connection with the purchase and sale of securities
for each Fund, arrange for the transmission to the custodian for
the Trust on a daily basis, such
- 4 -
confirmation, trade tickets, and other documents and information,
including, but not limited to, Cusip, Sedol, or other numbers
that identify securities to be purchased or sold on behalf of the
Fund, as may be reasonably necessary to enable the custodian to
perform its administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities
with respect to the Fund, and, with respect to portfolio
securities to be purchased or sold through the Depository Trust
Company, will arrange for the automatic transmission of the
confirmation of such trades to the Trust's custodian.
(f) Will assist the custodian and recordkeeping agent(s) for the
Trust in determining or confirming, consistent with the
procedures and policies stated in the Registration Statement for
the Trust, the value of any portfolio securities or other assets
of the Fund for which the custodian and recordkeeping agent(s)
seek assistance from the Portfolio Manager or identify for review
by the Portfolio Manager.
(g) Will make available to the Trust and Adviser, promptly upon
request, any of the Funds' investment records and ledgers as are
necessary to assist the Trust to comply with requirements of the
1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as well as
other applicable laws, and will furnish to regulatory authorities
having the requisite authority any information or reports in
connection with such services which may be requested in order to
ascertain whether the operations of the Trust are being conducted
in a manner consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
(h) Will regularly report to the Trust's Board of Trustees on the
investment program for each Fund and the issuers and securities
represented in each Fund's portfolio, and will furnish the
Trust's Board of Trustees with respect to the Funds such periodic
and special reports as the Trustees may reasonably request.
(i) Shall be responsible for making reasonable inquiries and for
reasonably ensuring that any employee of the Portfolio Manager
has not, to the best of the Portfolio Manager's knowledge:
(i) been convicted, in the last ten (10) years, of
- 5 -
any felony or misdemeanor involving the purchase or sale of
any security or arising out of such person's conduct as an
underwriter, broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal
securities dealer, government securities broker, government
securities dealer, transfer agent, or entity or person
required to be registered under the Commodity Exchange Act,
or as an affiliated person, salesman, or employee of any
investment company, bank, insurance company, or entity or
person required to be registered under the Commodity Exchange
Act; or
(ii) been permanently or temporarily enjoined by reason of
any misconduct, by order, judgment, or decree of any court of
competent jurisdiction from acting as an underwriter, broker,
dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer,
government securities broker, government securities dealer,
transfer agent, or entity or person required to be registered
under the Commodity Exchange Act, or as an affiliated person,
salesman or employee of any investment company, bank,
insurance company, or entity or person required to be
registered under the Commodity Exchange Act, or from engaging
in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with
any such activity or in connection with the purchase or sale
of any security.
