implementing new trading, compliance and accounting systems, and by adding investment personnel to the portfolio management teams. The Board also considered the administrative services provided by the Investment Manager and the associated administration fee paid to the Investment Manager for such services under the Administration Agreement. The Board determined that the services received under the Administration Agreement are beneficial to the Fund.

(iv) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale:The Board noted that, as a closed-endfund, the Fund would not be expected to have inflows of capital that might produce increasing economies of scale.

The Board determined that on a comparative basis the fees under the Management Agreement were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
