This Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of this 27th day of February, 2014 by and between Campbell Strategic Allocation Fund, a Delaware Statutory Trust (“Client”) and PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (“Investment Manager”).


 


WHEREAS, Investment Manager is in the business of providing investment management services, and Client desires to engage Investment Manager as investment manager to manage certain securities, cash and other financial instruments,


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, Client and Investment Manager agree as follows:


 


1.           Appointment and Duties of Investment Manager


 


Client hereby appoints Investment Manager as investment manager for the Account, and Investment Manager hereby agrees to serve in such capacity subject to the terms, conditions and powers set forth herein.  Investment Manager acknowledges that it is a “fiduciary” as that term is defined under Section 3(21) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) only with respect to assets of the Account and only to the extent Investment Manager has undertaken duties under this Agreement.  Client appoints Investment Manager to:


 


(i)           Manage certain securities, cash or other financial instruments acknowledged in writing by Investment Manager including the proceeds of and earnings, if any, on such assets that Client has not directed be disbursed (“Assets”).


 


(ii)           Record the Assets in one or more accounts (each, an “Account,” collectively the “Accounts”).


 


(iii)           Invest and reinvest the Assets to the extent of Investment Manager’s discretion.


 


(iv)           Provide periodic review of the Assets and exercise discretion over the purchase, sale, exchange and tender of securities, financial instruments and other obligations consistent with the most current investment guidelines provided by Client pursuant to Section 2(a) herein.  Client shall be deemed to have approved an Asset unless Client directs Investment Manager to sell such Asset.  Investment Manager shall have no duty to and shall not review, manage or recommend the sale of any of the Assets that Client has directed Investment Manager to purchase or record in the Account.


 


(v)           Keep proper records of all transactions in the Assets and furnish Client with periodic itemized statements of all receipts and disbursements during the period and a listing of Assets on record at the end of such period.  Client shall assume the responsibility for reconciling such statements.

2.           Investment Policy Statement; Custodians


 


(a)           Client hereby vests Investment Manager with the full power to supervise and direct the investment of any assets, any and all interest and earnings therefrom, and any additions made by Client, in the Account in accordance with the investment strategy, guidelines and restrictions set forth in the Investment Policy Statement attached as Exhibit A hereto.  The Investment Policy Statement may be modified at any time by the Client upon 10 days’ prior written notice to Investment Manager; provided, however, that no change shall become effective if Investment Manager notifies Client in writing of its objection to the proposed amendment.  Reasonable interpretations of the Investment Policy Statement made by Investment Manager shall be binding on the parties.  Investment Manager shall have no obligation to determine whether the Investment Policy Statement is appropriate for the Client and shall not be responsible or liable for the selection of or revisions to such Investment Policy Statement.


 


(b)           Client agrees to notify Investment Manager, in writing, of any material changes with respect to Custodian to provide Investment Manager with reasonable prior notice of any intention to appoint a successor custodian, to provide Investment Manager with other relevant information with respect to a successor custodian, and to ensure that any successor custodian is also a qualified custodian as defined in Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”).  Investment Manager shall promptly notify the Custodian in writing (including by electronic transmission, facsimile or any other electronic means mutually agreed upon by Investment Manager and the Custodian) of any purchase or sale made for the Account. Investment Manager is not authorized to take physical possession of the assets of the Account (except for the limited purpose set forth in Section 8(b) below); and the Custodian shall have sole responsibility for holding and safekeeping the assets.  Client also authorizes and directs Investment Manager to instruct Custodian on Client’s behalf to (i) send Client at least quarterly a statement showing all transactions occurring in the Account during the period covered by the account statement, and the funds, securities and other property in the Account at the end of the period; and (ii) provide Investment Manager with copies of all periodic statements and other reports for the Account that Custodian sends to Client.  Client understands and agrees that: (i) Investment Manager will not serve as the qualified custodian to the Account, (ii) Investment Manager will not be liable for any act or omission of any Custodian, and (iii) Investment Manager will be entitled to rely on any information provided by any custodian or any other agent of the Client.  The Custodian of the Account is:


 



	
               Northern Trust

	 






	
  

	 






	
  

	 






	
  

	 





 


3.           Cash Sweep; Investment in Securities.


 


(a)           Client acknowledges that with respect to any cash balance sweep vehicles, including money market mutual funds, selected by the Custodian for investment of excess cash balances in the Account, Investment Manager will not have responsibility for advising on such sweep vehicles.  Client represents that responsibility for investment of excess cash balances in the Account will instead reside with Custodian.


 


(b)           Client acknowledges that Client understands that securities held or purchased in the Account, are not backed by or guaranteed by Investment Manager or its affiliates and are not bank deposits, nor are they issued by, guaranteed by, or obligations of, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government agency.  Such securities involve investment risks, including possible loss of value.

4.           Voting of Portfolio Securities and Legal Proceedings


 


(a)           Unless otherwise directed in writing by Client, Client hereby authorizes Investment Manager to exercise, in its discretion, any voting rights with respect to the securities held in the Account.  Client further authorizes Investment Manager to instruct the Custodian to forward promptly to Investment Manager copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to voting portfolio securities held in the Account (other than materials relating to legal proceedings). It is understood that Investment Manager is not required to inform Client of the delivery of proxy materials or of an upcoming proxy vote.  It is further understood that Investment Manager is not required to notify Client in advance of or subsequent to any action Investment Manager takes with respect to the voting of proxies.  Investment Manager shall not be liable with regard to the voting of proxies if it does not receive the proxy materials from the Custodian in a timely manner.  Investment Manager has the authority to engage a service provider to assist with administrative functions related to voting client proxies. Client understands and agrees that Investment Manager may determine not to exercise proxy voting rights under certain circumstances, including, potentially, when Investment Manager believes the associated costs of voting outweigh the likely potential benefits of voting.


 


(b)           Client may obtain a description of Investment Manager’s or its designee’s proxy voting policies and procedures, copies of such proxy voting policies and procedures, and information about how Investment Manager or its designee voted with respect to Client’s securities by contacting Investment Manager at the address and/or telephone number listed below.


 


(c)           Unless Investment Manager otherwise agrees in writing, Investment Manager will not advise or take any action on behalf of Client in any legal proceedings involving securities held in or formerly held in the Account, including bankruptcies or class actions.


 


5.           Brokerage and Trading


 


(a)           Investment Manager may place orders for the execution of transactions with or through such brokers and dealers as Investment Manager may select.  Investment Manager shall seek to obtain best execution of trades for the Account, taking into account customary practices in prevailing markets for the particular types of investments being traded and the full range, quality, and reliability of brokerage services, as well as commission rates and the value of research and investment information provided by the brokers or dealers, and any other relevant factors.  Investment Manager shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions by any broker or dealer selected, provided Investment Manager acted reasonably in its selection.  Investment Manager shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused Client to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to Investment Manager an amount of commission for effecting an investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if Investment Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Investment Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to clients of Investment Manager as to which Investment Manager exercises investment discretion. Client hereby agrees with the Investment Manager that any entity or person associated with Investment Manager which is a member of a national securities exchange is authorized to effect any transaction on such exchange for the account of the Client which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


 


(b)           Client acknowledges and agrees that Investment Manager may aggregate purchase or sale orders for the Account with purchase and sale orders for the same security for other client accounts where such aggregation is likely to result generally in a more favorable net result for Investment Manager’s clients, including Client, and is consistent with the Investment Manager’s fiduciary duties under ERISA with respect to Client.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investment Manager is under no obligation to aggregate orders even if doing so may result in more favorable net results.


 


(c)           Client further acknowledges that circumstances may arise under which Investment Manager determines that there is a limited supply or demand for a security.  Under such circumstances, Client acknowledges that, while Investment Manager intends to allocate the opportunity to purchase or sell that security among those accounts managed by Investment Manager on an equitable basis, there may be circumstances preventing the Investment Manager from treating all accounts equally in connection with every trade.  Where, because of prevailing market conditions, it is not possible to obtain the same price or time of execution for all securities purchased or sold for client accounts, Investment Manager will allocate the securities in accordance with Investment Manager’s order allocation procedures to ensure the fair and equitable treatment of all accounts.


 


(d)           Investment Manager shall not utilize any affiliated broker-dealer to effect securities transactions with respect to the Account, except upon prior written approval by Client and in accordance with Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 86-128 or any successor thereto.

6.           Account Statements


 


Client is aware that Federal Regulations may require Investment Manager, without charge and within one business day of its receipt of a broker/dealer confirmation for each security transaction in Client’s Account to forward to Client a written notification which discloses, among other things:  the Investment Manager’s name, Client’s name, the capacity (capacities) in which Investment Manager is acting, the date (and time, within a reasonable period, upon written request of Client) of execution, the identity, price, number of shares or units or principal amount of securities purchased or sold by Client, the name of the broker/dealer, the amount of any remuneration received by such broker/dealer from Client and the amount, if any, of any remuneration received by Investment Manager.  Client is also aware that, under the terms of this Agreement, Investment Manager will provide, or will make arrangements for the Custodian to provide, to Client periodic statements that include a listing of all purchase and sale securities transactions during the period, together with a current listing of the Assets held in the Account.  Client shall accept such periodic statements in satisfaction of the Investment Manager’s obligation to provide written notification as described above; provided, that upon Client’s written request, Investment Manager will provide to Client within a reasonable time and at no additional cost the information identified above.  Upon receipt of the statements, Client will promptly review such statements.  In the absence of Investment Manager’s willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duties under ERISA or negligence, Investment Manager shall not be liable with respect to the matters set forth in such statements, except for any matters with respect to which Client shall file objections within one hundred twenty (120) days after the closing date of the period shown on such statements, and the matters set forth in such statements shall be deemed approved and ratified by Client.  Client’s approval and ratification of the statements shall be final and binding on all persons who have or will acquire either immediate or future interests in the Account.


 


7.           Client Responsibilities


 


Client hereby agrees to provide Investment Manager with all current information regarding Client’s financial situation and investment objectives and to promptly inform Investment Manager of any changes thereto that might affect the management of the Account.  Client acknowledges and agrees that Client must inform Investment Manager in writing as set forth in Section 2 of any requested changes or modifications to the investment style, guidelines and restrictions set forth in the Investment Policy Statement attached hereto as Exhibit A, as well as any specific investment restrictions applicable thereto.  Client must give Investment Manager prompt written notice if Client deems any investment made for the Account to be in violation of such objectives or restrictions. Unless Investment Manager otherwise agrees in writing, Investment Manager shall not be responsible for any tax, securities law or regulatory filings with respect to the Account and the Assets therein.


 


8.           Fees


 


(a)           For its services hereunder, Investment Manager shall be compensated in accordance with the Schedule of Fees in effect from time to time, a current copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.  Client acknowledges and agrees that the Fee Schedule may be amended at any time by the Investment Manager upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Client.  The management fee is separate from and does not include brokerage commissions, taxes and other fees and expenses related to the purchase, sale or disposition of assets in the Account, including the fees and/or charges of any service provider, which shall be the responsibility of Client.  Valuation of Assets in the Account pursuant to this Agreement, including for purposes of calculating fees under this Section 8, shall be based on the valuation provided by the Custodian, provided however, that in the event valuation by the Custodian is deemed materially inaccurate by Investment Manager, valuation shall be made by or at the direction of Investment Manager or its designee based on a reasonable fair valuation policy.


 


(b)           Investment Manager will send to Client on a monthly basis a statement that shows the amount of the fee for such period, the amount of the assets on which such fee was based and the specific manner in which the fee was calculated.  Client will notify Investment Manager within five (5) business days after receipt of the statement of any objections or exceptions.


 


(c)           If the date of this Agreement is not the first day of the billing period, then the management fee for such period shall be calculated by multiplying a full annual fee by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days this Agreement was in effect during the billing period and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days during the applicable annual billing period.

9.            Non-Exclusive Contract


 


       Client understands that Investment Manager and its affiliates perform investment advisory and asset management services for other clients, and may give advice, and take action, in the performance of their duties with respect to any of its other clients which may differ from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Account. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Investment Manager, its managers, officers, employees agents or affiliates to purchase or sell for the Account any security which it or they may purchase or sell for its or their own account or for the account of any other client.  Client acknowledges that transactions in a specific security may not be accomplished for all client accounts at the same time or same price.

Investment Manager shall have the right to complete any transactions that are entered or open as of the termination or revocation date for the Account from the Assets in the Account.  Client agrees and understands that, upon termination of this Agreement, Investment Manager is under no obligation to recommend any action with regard to securities or other assets held in the Account.

13.           Limitation of Liability and Indemnification


 


(a)           Investment Manager, its affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, employees, agents, affiliates and representatives will not be liable for (i) any loss, damage, or liability of any kind incurred by Client (including without limitation legal expenses and costs and expenses relating to investigating and defending any claims) by or with respect to the Account unless such losses are actual investment losses (and not incidental or consequential losses or expenses) which are the direct result of an act or omission by Investment Manager which are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from Investment Manager’s breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA, negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations as described by this Agreement, or (ii) under any circumstances, any consequential, special or indirect losses or damages which Client may incur or suffer by or as a consequence of Investment Manager’s performance of, or failure to perform, the services to be provided hereunder, whether or not the likelihood of such losses or damages was known by Investment Manager. The federal securities laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons who act in good faith, and therefore nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which Client may have under any federal securities laws or ERISA.


 


(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investment Manager shall not have breached any obligation to Client and shall incur no liability from any loss resulting from (i) the actions or inactions of Client or its Custodian or other agents, (ii) Investment Manager following the directions of Client, or not following unlawful or unreasonable directions of Client, (iii) the actions or inactions of brokers or dealers selected by Investment Manager or (iv) force majeure or other events beyond the reasonable control of Investment Manager, including without limitation any failure, default or delay in performance resulting from computer failure or breakdown in communications not reasonably within the control of Investment Manager.

(d)           Investment Manager does not guarantee the future performance of the Account or any specific level of performance or the success of any investment decision or strategy that Investment Manager may employ in managing the Account.  There can be no assurance that Client’s investment objectives will be achieved.  Client understands that an investment could lose value and the Account could lose money.  Strategies available through Investment Manager may use certain investment vehicles and techniques that carry a higher degree of risk or volatility than other available strategies.


 


(e)           Investment Manager and any service provider and their respective affiliates, employees and agents shall not be liable for any misstatement or omission contained in any information provided by Client, or for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of or attributable to such misstatement or omission.


 


(f)           This Section 13 shall survive resignation of Investment Manager or the termination of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights that may not be so limited or waived in accordance with applicable law.


 


14.           Confidentiality


 


All information regarding the operations and investments of the Account (including the terms of this Agreement, and the information, investment advice and services provided by Investment Manager hereunder) and information furnished by the parties in performance of this Agreement shall be treated as confidential and shall not be disclosed to third parties except (i) where necessary in order to carry out responsibilities and duties hereunder, (ii) to the parties’ legal counsel, accountants or other professional and other similar advisers, (iii) as required by applicable law or by a regulatory or tax authority with valid jurisdiction, or (iv) if a party becomes legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, regulatory or other request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to do so, and then only to the extent of such legal compulsion; provided, further, that in the event of legal compulsion to disclose the terms hereof, the party subject to such legal process shall, in all cases where practicable (a) first notify the other party of such legal process, unless such notice is prohibited by statute, rule or court order, (b) attempt to obtain the other party’s consent to such disclosure, and (c) in the event consent is not given, agree to permit a motion to quash, or other similar procedural step, to frustrate the production or publication of information.  In making any disclosure under such legal process, a disclosing party agrees to use all reasonable efforts to preserve the confidential nature of such information.  In addition, Investment Manager may disclose Client’s non-public personal information as permitted by applicable laws, including without limitation, Regulation S-P of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b)           Subject to all terms and provisions hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.


 


17.           Waiver of Jury Trial


 


Each of the parties hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any dispute that arises or is related to the negotiation, execution, performance or non-performance, interpretation, termination or construction of this Agreement, and any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto, and all matters based upon, arising out of or related to the foregoing (whether in contract, tort, equity law or statute.)


 


18.           Severability


 


Each provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable from the others, so that if any provision or term hereof is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions and terms hereof.


 


19.           Disclosure Statement


 


Client acknowledges receipt of Investment Manager’s Disclosure Statement and Brochure Supplement before, but not later than, the date of execution of this Agreement. Accordingly, Client shall have the option to terminate this Agreement without penalty within five (5) business days after the date of its execution by providing written notice to Investment Manager within such period; provided, however, that any investment action taken by Investment Manager with respect to the Account before the effective date of such termination shall be at Client’s sole risk.

For the purposes of this Agreement, telephone, telephone voice messaging, facsimile transmission, telex, electronic mail and other forms of telephonic or electronic communication, as well as all forms of oral communication, shall not be deemed to be “in writing” or “written.”  The following provisions apply with respect to this Section:


 


(i)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investment Manager may, in its sole discretion, conclusively rely and act upon any form of Instruction which it believes to be genuine.


 


(ii)           Client may not rely upon the Investment Manager’s receipt of any such Instruction until and unless the Client’s account officer has confirmed to Client that the Instruction has been received and accepted by Investment Manager.


 


(iii)           Client may by Instruction direct the Investment Manager to accept Instruction from persons authorized in writing by Client, in a form acceptable to the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager may conclusively rely on the most recent designation of such authorized persons furnished to it by Client until it receives written notification from Client to the contrary.


(iv)           The Investment Manager’s execution of any Instruction requires a commercially reasonable period of time for processing and is subject to the Investment Manager’s customary processing deadlines and applicable market closings.


 


(c)           Instructions, including any notice or other communications required or contemplated by this Agreement, shall be made in writing and sent in person, by U.S. mail, by overnight mail, or by facsimile transmission (with hard copy sent by U.S. mail) and shall be deemed given upon receipt, addressed as follows:
