 the account, and, when relevant, directed brokerage. In connection with certain purchase or sale programs, and in other circumstances if practicable, if multiple trades for a specific security are made with the same broker in a single day, those securities are allocated to accounts based on a weighted average purchase or sale price.

In determining whether accounts are eligible to participate in any type of initial public offering, the Adviser considers such factors as lot size, account size, diversification requirements and investment objective, restrictions, time horizon, availability of cash, existing or targeted account weightings in particular securities, and the amount of existing holdings (or substitutes) of the security in the account. For initial public offerings of equities, the Adviser generally shares allocations in a pro rata fashion based upon assets under management for those accounts eligible to participate in the initial public offering. For equity offerings, an exception may be made when the allocation is so small that it may create transaction costs that diminish the benefit of the trade or it would be unreasonably minimal relative to the size of the account. The Adviser will use its best judgment to make a fair and equitable allocation, which may include, among other things, consideration of allocating to underperforming accounts or accounts where smaller lot sizes would be reasonable.

To the extent permitted by law and in accordance with procedures established by the Board, the Fund may engage in brokerage transactions with brokers that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted procedures which are reasonably designed to provide that commissions or other remuneration paid to affiliated brokers of the Adviser do not exceed the usual and customary broker’s commission. The following table sets forth the aggregate brokerage commissions paid on transactions in the Fund’s securities and the amounts of brokerage commission paid to broker-dealers for research services by the Fund for the last three fiscal years. The amount of brokerage commissions paid by the Fund may change from year to year because of, among other things, changes in asset levels, stockholder activity, and/or changes in portfolio turnover.
