Applicants’ Representations

1. The Trust is organized as a

Delaware business trust and is

registered under the Act as an open-end

management investment company. The

Trust is comprised of nine series

(‘‘Funds’’), each of which has its own

investment objectives and policies.1

Each Fund offers only one class of

shares, which are distributed to the

public without a sales charge or

distribution or service fees. The

Adviser, a Delaware corporation, is

registered under the Investment

Advisers Act of 1940 (the ‘‘Advisers

Act’’).

2. The Trust, on behalf of each Fund,

has entered into separate investment

advisory agreements (‘‘Agreements’’)

with the Adviser. Under the terms of

these Agreements, the Adviser provides

each Fund with investment research,

advice and supervision, and furnishes

continuously an investment program for

each Fund consistent with the

investment objectives and policies of

the Fund. The Adviser also administers

each Fund’s business affairs, furnishes

each Fund with office facilities and is

responsible for clerical, recordkeeping,

and bookkeeping services and for the

financial and accounting records

required to be maintained by each Fund

(other than those maintained by the

Trust’s custodian and shareholder

servicing agent). The Agreements

specifically permit the Adviser to enter

into investment subadvisory agreements

(‘‘Subadvisory Agreements’’) with

portfolio managers (‘‘Portfolio

Managers’’) to whom the Adviser

delegates its responsibility for providing

investment advice and making

investment decisions for the particular

Fund.

3. Since 1987, the Adviser has

selected Portfolio Managers to make

investment decisions for the Funds, and

has represented itself as an investment

adviser whose strength, experience, and

expertise lies in its ability to evaluate,

select, and supervise those Portfolio

Managers who can add the most value

to a shareholder’s investment in the

Trust. Currently, all nine Funds have

contracted for subadvisory services with

Portfolio Managers selected by the

Adviser.2 In addition to selecting

Portfolio Managers, the Adviser

provides management oversight services

to the Funds, which include, but are not

limited to, supervising the Portfolio
