Applicants’ Representations

1. The Fund is a Delaware business

trust registered under the act as an

open-end management investment

company. The Funds currently consists

of ten Public Funds: one equity and

income fund (Global Fund), three equity

funds (Global Equity Fund, U.S. Equity

Fund, and Non-U.S. Equity Fund), four

fixed income funds (Global Bond Fund,

Short-Term Global Income Fund, U.S.

Bond Fund, and Non-U.S. Bond Fund),

one balanced fund (U.S. Balanced

Fund), and one money market fund

(U.S. Cash Management Fund). Each

Public Fund offers two classes of shares:

the Brinson Fund class shares, which

have no sales charge and are not subject

to a distribution fee imposed in

accordance with rule 12b–1 under the

Act (a ‘‘12b–1 Fee’’), and the SwissKey

Fund class shares, which have not sales

charge but are subject to a 12b–1 Fee.

Fund/Plan Broker Services, Inc.

(‘‘FPBS’’) acts as distributor of the Fund.

FPBS does not receive any payment

from the Public Funds for its services as

distributor. Rather, the Adviser pays

FPBS a fixed annual fee for the

distribution services it provides to the

Public Funds.

2. The Trust is a Delaware business

trust registered under the Act as an

open-end management investment

company. The Trust currently consists

of six Series: Brinson Global Securities

Fund, Brinson Short-Term Fund,

Brinson Post-Venture Fun, Brinson High

Yield Fund, Brinson Emerging Markets

Equity Fund, and Brinson Emerging

Markets Debt Fund. Investment in the

Series is limited to ‘‘accredited

investors’’ within the meaning of

Regulation D under the Securities act of

1933. The Series impose no sales

charge, advisory fee, or 12b–1 Fee.

Because shares of the Series are issued

solely in private placement transactions,

the Trust does not have a distributor.

3. The Adviser is registered as an

investment adviser under the

Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The

Adviser provides investment advisory

services to each Public Fund and

receives a fee for such services under

the Adviser’s investment advisory

agreement with the Fund. The Adviser

provides investment advisory services

to each Series of the Trust, but it does

not receive any compensation for these

services under its investment advisory

agreement with the Trust. Fund/Plan

Services, Inc. (‘‘Fund/Plan’’) provides

administrative and transfer agency

services to both the Fund and the Trust.
