 composition versus strategy.

With respect to securities transactions, the Subadviser
determines which broker or dealer to use to execute each order, consistent with their duty to seek best execution of the transaction.
However, with respect to certain other accounts (such as pooled investment vehicles that are not registered investment companies and
other accounts managed for organizations and individuals), the Subadviser may be limited by the client with respect to the selection
of brokers or dealers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker or dealer. In these cases, trades for a portfolio
in a particular security may be placed separately from, rather than aggregated with, such other accounts. Having separate transactions
with respect to a security may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the
possible detriment of a portfolio or the other account(s) involved. Additionally, the management of multiple portfolios and/or other
accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each portfolio and/or other account.
The Subadviser’s team approach to portfolio management and block trading approach seeks to limit this potential risk.

The Subadviser also maintains a gift and entertainment
policy to address the potential for a business contact to give gifts or host entertainment events that may influence the business judgment
of an employee. Employees are permitted to retain gifts of only a nominal value and are required to make reimbursement for entertainment
events above a certain value. All gifts (except those of a de minimis value) and entertainment events that are given or sponsored by
a business contact are required to be reported in a gift and entertainment log which is reviewed on a regular basis for possible issues.

Employees of the Subadviser have access to transactions
and holdings information regarding client accounts and the Subadviser’s overall trading activities. This information represents
a potential conflict of interest because employees may take advantage of this information as they trade in their personal accounts. Accordingly,
the Subadviser maintains a Code of Ethics that is compliant with Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act
to address personal trading. In addition, the Code of Ethics seeks to establish broader principles of good conduct and fiduciary responsibility
in all aspects of the Subadviser’s business. The Code of Ethics is administered by the Legal and Compliance Department and monitored
through the Subadviser’s compliance monitoring program.
