&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For the year ended March 31, 2026, Jackson Real Assets Fund underperformed its primary benchmark by posting a return of 5.45% for Class I shares compared to 15.74% for the S&P Real Assets Index.

#### Jackson National Asset Management, LLC
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The private fund investment strategy within the Fund performed favorably on an absolute basis. Factors that contributed to performance included private infrastructure equity and private real estate debt. Stable income from real estate debt allocations primarily in core property types was further boosted by favorable appreciation and solid income from digital, utilities, and transportation infrastructure exposures. Select investments in private real estate equity in areas like senior housing and student housing were further additive. Factors that detracted from performance included select areas of private real estate equity and private natural capital equity. Within real estate, exposures in the industrial and life sciences property segments were particularly challenged. The Fund's private natural capital equity exposures minimally detracted from relative performance, driven by muted farmland returns. There were no significant changes to underlying exposures, with real estate allocations across equity and debt totaling more than two thirds of the private strategy, and the balance invested in private infrastructure and agriculture. While economic data remains inconsistent, the evolving landscape offers a constructive backdrop for building long-term value and capturing growth across the real asset space. Real assets continue to provide defensive, inflation-protected and monopolistic characteristics underpinned by secular growth drivers and uncorrelated return streams. In real estate, valuation resets are largely complete, paving the way for a more sustainable, income-driven recovery. Following rate-driven repricings, core real estate and infrastructure are on firmer footing, with supply-side constraints resulting in supportive conditions for high-quality assets. Secular tailwinds, specifically in digital infrastructure, energy transition, and specialty real estate, continue to offer strong, long-term growth potential.

#### Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Factors that detracted from relative performance included an overweight in the telecommunications sector, which had a sizable decline amid mixed outlooks, rising interest rates, and the perceived threat from satellite competition. An overweight in single-family homes for rent landlords also hindered performance. The sector declined on signs of slowing demand as well as increased policy risk related to home ownership. An overweight and stock selection in the office sector also hindered performance. An underweight in the industrial sector further detracted, as logistics companies rebounded on optimism about a recovery in fundamentals. Factors that aided relative performance included stock selection and an overweight in health care REITs, led by an overweight in a senior housing specialist that had a strong gain amid high and rising occupancies in its facilities. An overweight in data centers also helped performance, as the sector rallied amid favorable secular tailwinds. For one, many of the large technology companies increased their planned capital expenditures into 2026, a positive read-through for data center demand. An underweight in the apartment sector was beneficial as well, as it struggled amid a supply overhang in certain markets. Looking ahead, while REITs have lagged broad-market equities for a multi-year period, we believe 2026 offers a reprieve on multiple fronts. On a valuation basis, REITs look particularly attractive vs. broader stocks, which have continued to benefit from greater concentration in technology-related themes. Supply of new commercial real estate has fallen meaningfully, setting landlords up for a period of acceleration in cash flow growth. Although improving property fundamentals are likely to be supportive of asset-class performance, the improvement is likely to be uneven across sectors, with the effect of new supply in certain multifamily and industrial markets still weighing on rental growth in the shorter term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Sub-Adviser uses a disciplined, bottom-up investment process with an equal emphasis on quality and valuation which aims to identify mispricing. As a result, the strategy's relative performance tends to be driven primarily by stock selection.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Sub-Adviser invests in the shares of companies that own or operate infrastructure assets. The investment objective of the Sub-Adviser is to seek capital appreciation, with a secondary objective of enhancing income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A holding in Brazil's largest toll road operator Motiva (+55.04%) rallied after selling its strategy of Latin American airport assets to Mexican airport operator ASUR. US east coast freight rail operator CSX Corp (+41.60%) rose after a takeover offer for peer Norfolk Southern from west coast operator Union Pacific stirred interest in the sector. Mexican toll road operator PINFRA (+62.84%) climbed after announcing the sale of its non-core Altamira port business. However, holdings in US mobile tower operators SBA Communications (-20.02%) and American Tower (-17.93%) underperformed on investor concerns that customer churn rates (the proportion of departing customers) may be higher than previously anticipated. Beijing Airport (-35.38%) fell on concerns about the pace of passenger recovery and the rate of duty free spend at its terminals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Global listed infrastructure appears relatively well placed to weather the current period of geopolitical uncertainty, thanks to its essential service provision and lack of material direct exposure to the Middle East. We remain optimistic about its future prospects, owing in part to the long-term structural growth drivers that the asset class is positioned to benefit from.

#### Jackson Real Assets Fund

#### Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2026

#### NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
Jackson Real Assets Fund ("Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 29, 2023. The Fund has elected to operate as an interval fund. The Fund engages in a continuous offering of shares and will offer to make quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value ("NAV"), reduced by any applicable repurchase fee.

Jackson National Asset Management, LLC ("JNAM", "Adviser" or "Administrator"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson Financial Inc. ("Jackson"), serves as investment adviser and administrator to the Fund.

Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. and First Sentier Investors (Australia) IM Ltd. (each a "Sub-Adviser", and collectively, the "Sub-Advisers") serve as Sub-Advisers for the Fund.

Pursuant to exemptive relief, the Fund is authorized to offer two share classes, Class A and Class I. As of March 31, 2026, only Class I shares are available for purchase. Upon commencement of Class A, Class A shares and Class I shares will differ primarily due to the Shareholder Servicing Fee attributable to Class A shares. Shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the Fund pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class. From time to time, the Fund may have significant subscription and redemption activity which, when executed at the NAV rounded to two decimals, can impact the NAV per share of either class and cause a divergence in the NAV between each class. Each share class also has different voting rights on matters affecting a single class. No class has preferential dividend rights.

#### NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies". The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

**Security Valuation.** Under the Fund's valuation policy and procedures ("Valuation Policies and Procedures"), the Fund's Board of Trustees ("Board" or "Trustees") has designated to the Adviser the responsibility for carrying out certain functions relating to the valuation of portfolio securities for the purpose of determining the NAV of the Fund. The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee (the "Valuation Committee") that is charged with the responsibilities set forth in the Valuation Policies and Procedures. The Valuation Committee is responsible for determining fair valuations for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. For those securities fair valued under procedures approved by the Board, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the fair valuation determinations after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available. The Valuation Committee's fair valuation determinations are subject to review by the Board.

The NAV of the Fund's shares is generally determined once each day on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open, at the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday). The NAV of the Fund's shares may also not be determined on days designated by the Board or on days designated by the SEC. However, consistent with legal requirements, calculation of the Fund's NAV may be suspended on days determined by the Board during times of NYSE market closure, which may include times during which the SEC issues policies or protocols associated with such closure pursuant to Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act. In the event that the NYSE is closed unexpectedly or opens for trading but closes earlier than scheduled, the Fund's Valuation Committee will evaluate if trading activity on other U.S. exchanges and markets for equity securities is considered reflective of normal market activity. To the extent an NYSE closure is determined to be accompanied by a disruption of normal market activity, the Valuation Committee may utilize the time the NYSE closed for purposes of measuring and calculating the Fund's NAV. To the extent an NYSE closure is determined to not have resulted in a disruption of normal market activity, the Valuation Committee may utilize the time the NYSE was scheduled to close for purposes of measuring and calculating the Fund's NAV.

Equity securities are generally valued at the official closing price of the exchange where the security is principally traded. If there is no official closing price for the security on the valuation date, the security may be valued at the most recent sale or quoted bid price prior to close. Stocks not listed on a national or foreign stock exchange may be valued at the closing bid price on the over the counter ("OTC") market. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the NAV per share determined as of the close of the NYSE on each valuation date. The Adviser has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for equities traded in foreign markets to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the NAVs are determined. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, and that did not receive a price from a third-party pricing service, or it is determined that such valuation from the pricing service does not approximate fair value, may be valued at their amortized cost, unless it is determined that such practice does not approximate fair value. Debt and derivative securities are generally valued by independent pricing services approved by the Board. Pricing services utilized to value debt and derivative instruments may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as: yield; credit quality; coupon rate; maturity; type of issue; trading characteristics; call features; credit ratings; broker quotes; tranche seniority; maturity extensions; and other relevant data. Private Investment Funds ("Private Funds") are generally valued using the latest NAV reported by the third-party fund manager or General Partner ("GP") as a practical expedient to estimate the fair value of such interests. The NAV and other information provided by a GP is reviewed for reasonableness based on knowledge of current market conditions and the individual characteristics of each Private Fund. If market information indicates that the NAV is not as of the measurement date, not calculated in a manner consistent with FASB ASC Topic 946 ("Topic 946"), or otherwise not reflective of the current value, best efforts shall be used to adjust the relevant Private Fund's NAV in a manner consistent with the measurement principals of Topic 946, which could include adjusting the Private Fund's NAV based on a proxy or investment model which is correlated to the underlying investment return. Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued at the foreign currency exchange rate as of the close of the NYSE.

#### Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2026

Market quotations may not be readily available for certain investments or it may be determined that a quotation of an investment does not represent fair value. In such instances, the investment is valued as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board, which take into account factors such as the size of the holding, the nature and duration of the securities and the volume and depth of trading, among others. Situations that may require an investment to be fair valued may include instances where a security is thinly traded, halted or restricted as to resale. In addition, investments may be fair valued based on the occurrence of a significant event. Significant events may be specific to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructurings or defaults. Alternatively, significant events may affect an entire market, such as natural disasters, government actions, and significant changes in the value of U.S. securities markets. Securities are fair valued based on observable and unobservable inputs, including the Adviser's or Valuation Committee's own assumptions in determining the fair value of an investment. Under the procedures approved by the Board, the Adviser may utilize pricing services or other sources, including the Fund's Sub-Advisers, to assist in determining the fair value of an investment. A market-based approach may be utilized whereby related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other inputs may be considered in determining fair value. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the asset or liability are discounted to calculate fair value. Inputs considered to determine fair value may include fundamental analytical data relating to the security; the nature and duration of restrictions, if any, on the disposition of the security; trading volume on markets, exchanges, or among dealers; evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which the security is traded; the type of security; the financial statements of the issuer, or other financial information about the issuer; the cost of the security at its date of purchase; the size of the Fund's holding; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class, if applicable, at the time of purchase or at a later date; reports prepared by analysts; information as to any transactions in, or offers for, the security; the existence of any merger proposal, tender offer or other extraordinary event relating to the security; the price and extent of public or dealer trading in similar securities or derivatives of the issuer or of comparable companies; trading in depositary receipts; foreign currency exchange activity; changes in the interest rate environment; trading prices of financial products that are tied to baskets of foreign securities; and any other matters considered relevant.

If an investment is valued at a fair value for purposes of calculating the Fund's NAV, the value may be different from the last quoted price for the investment depending on the source and method used to determine the value. Although there can be no assurance, in general, the fair value of the investment is the amount the owner of such investment might reasonably expect to receive in an orderly transaction between market participants upon its current sale.

**Distributions to Shareholders.** The Fund intends to qualify as and be eligible to be treated each year as a Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Fund intends to distribute at least 90% of the sum of its investment company taxable income (as the term is defined in the Code) and any net tax-exempt interest income for such year. Effective October 1, 2025, the Board approved a change to the distribution policy and the Fund intends to declare and distribute dividends from net investment income at least annually. Prior to October 1, 2025, dividends from net investment income were accrued daily and paid semi-annually. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay distributions to Shareholders at any particular rate or at all. All distributions are automatically reinvested by the Fund in additional shares unless a Shareholder is ineligible or elects otherwise. Each year, a statement on Internal Revenue Service Form 1099-DIV identifying the amount and character of the Fund's distributions will be mailed to Shareholders.

**Other Service Providers.** State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street" or "Custodian") acts as custodian and securities lending agent for the Fund. The Custodian has custody of all securities and cash of the Fund maintained in the United States and attends to the collection of principal and income and payment for and collection of proceeds of securities bought and sold by the Fund.

The Fund has entered into a Transfer Agency Agreement with UMB Fund Services, Inc ("UMB"). UMB is the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of all shares.

**Security Transactions and Investment Income.** Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses are determined on the specific identification basis. Dividend income, net of applicable withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Corporate actions involving foreign securities, including dividends, are recorded when the information becomes available. Income received in lieu of dividends for securities loaned is included in Dividends in the Statement of Operations. Interest income, including effective-yield amortization of discounts and premiums on debt securities and convertible bonds, is accrued daily. The Fund may place a debt obligation on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income, and value, by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. Distributions from Private Funds are recorded when communicated by the GP. Distributions from Private Funds that represent returns of capital in excess of cumulative profits and losses are credited to cost of investments rather than investment income. Portfolio investment fees that are paid outside of a Private Fund's investment are expensed as incurred. The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"), which report information as to the tax character of their distributions annually. Distributions from REITs that represent returns of capital are credited to cost of investments rather than investment income.

**Expenses.** Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses of the Fund are allocated to the classes based on the average daily net assets of each class. Expenses attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that class.

**Foreign Taxes.** The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or foreign currency purchases and repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon the current interpretations of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Fund invests. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Fund will record an estimated tax liability in an amount that may be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

**Foreign Currency Translations.** The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Each business day, the fair values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars based on current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars based on the respective exchange rates prevailing on the dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of foreign securities. Such fluctuations are included in Net realized gain (loss) on Investments - unaffiliated and Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Investments - unaffiliated, respectively, in the Statement of Operations.

**Guarantees and Indemnifications.** In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications for certain liabilities. Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. However, since the commencement of operations, the Fund has not had claims or losses pursuant to its contracts. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

**Use of Estimates.** The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements.** In December 2023, FASB released Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, titled "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" under Topic 740. This update aims to enhance the transparency and consistency of income tax disclosures by requiring disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and by providing disaggregated information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction, both domestically and internationally. The amendments under this ASU are required to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Management has adopted the amendments and determined that they did not have a significant impact on the Fund's financial statements.

#### NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments under this guidance. The inputs are summarized into three broad categories:

Level 1 includes quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Fund can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including fair value factors, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Adviser's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

Inputs used in the determination of the fair value level of Level 3 securities, which were deemed to be material, are disclosed within the notes below. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table summarizes the Fund's investments in securities and other financial instruments (in thousands) as of March 31, 2026 by valuation level.

<sup>1</sup> Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Schedule of Investments. Although there can be no assurance, in general, the fair value of the investment using the NAV per share practical expedient is the amount the owner of such investment might reasonably expect to receive in an orderly transaction between market participants upon its current sale.

Significant changes in unobservable valuation inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement than the one used in a security's valuation.

#### NOTE 4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
**Securities Lending and Securities Lending Collateral.** Jackson Real Assets Fund participates in an agency based securities lending program. State Street serves as the securities lending agent to the Fund. Per the securities lending agreement, the securities lending agent is authorized to loan

------

#### Jackson Real Assets Fund

#### Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2026

securities on behalf of the Fund to approved borrowers and is required to maintain collateral. The Fund receives either cash or non-cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan as determined at the close of Fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is typically delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The duration of each loan is determined by the agent and borrower and generally may be terminated at any time. Certain loans may be negotiated to mature on a specified date. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third-party borrower. The Fund may experience a delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss if the borrower breaches its agreement with the Fund or becomes insolvent. For cash collateral, the Fund receives income from the investment of cash collateral, which is shared with the borrower through negotiated rebates. The Fund bears the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. Non-cash collateral which the Fund receives may include U.S. Government securities; U.S. Government agencies' debt securities; and U.S. Government-sponsored agencies' debt securities and mortgage-backed securities. For non-cash collateral, the Fund receives lending fees negotiated with the borrower. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund with respect to the market risk related to the non-cash collateral investments. The Fund also bears the market risk with respect to the collateral received and securities loaned. State Street receives a portion of the earnings from the Fund's securities lending program.

Cash collateral received is invested in the JNL Government Money Market Fund – Class SL, a registered government money market fund under the 1940 Act and series of the JNL Investors Series Trust. JNAM serves as the Adviser and Administrator for the JNL Government Money Market Fund. The JNL Government Money Market Fund is offered to the Fund and its affiliates and is not available for direct purchase by members of the public. The JNL Government Money Market Fund pays JNAM annual fees, accrued daily and payable monthly, for investment advisory and administrative services.

Cash collateral received from the borrower is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Payable for Return of securities loaned. Investments acquired with such cash collateral are reported in a manner consistent with other portfolio investments held by the Fund as Investments - affiliated, at value or Investments - unaffiliated, at value, as applicable,on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities on loan is disclosed as Securities on loan included in Investments – unaffiliated, at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund's net exposure to a borrower is determined by the amount of any shortfall in collateral received compared to the value of securities on loan. The Fund may receive non-cash collateral in the form of securities received, which the Fund may not sell or re-pledge and accordingly are not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities on loan and collateral received (in thousands) at March 31, 2026 was $0.

**Unregistered Securities.** The Fund may own certain investment securities that are unregistered and thus restricted to resale. These securities may also be referred to as "private placements". Unregistered securities may be classified as "illiquid" because there is no readily available market for sale of the securities. Where future dispositions of the securities require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Fund has the right to include those securities in such registration generally without cost to the Fund. The Fund has no right to require registration of unregistered securities. Private placements and other restricted securities are subject to legal and/or contractual restrictions on their sales. These securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. As a result of the absence of a public trading market, the prices of these securities may be more volatile and more difficult to determine than publicly traded securities and these securities may involve heightened risk as compared to investments in securities of publicly traded companies. Private placements and other restricted securities may be illiquid, and it frequently can be difficult to sell them at a time when it may otherwise be desirable to do so or the Fund may be able to sell them only at prices that are less than what a Fund regards as their fair market value.

**Real Estate Investment Trusts.** The Fund may invest in REITs. REITs are traded as a stock on major stock exchanges and invests in real estate directly, either through properties or mortgages. REITs typically concentrate on a specific geographic region or property type, receive special tax considerations and are a liquid method of investing in real estate.

**Unfunded Commitments.** The Fund may enter into certain agreements to purchase a Private Fund, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the sponsor's discretion. In order to meet its obligation to fund capital calls of the Private Funds, the Fund may be required to hold some, or in certain cases a substantial amount, of its assets temporarily in money market securities, cash or cash equivalents, possibly for several months or to liquidate portfolio securities at an inopportune time.

Net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on unfunded commitments, if any, is reflected in Other assets and Payable for Investment securities purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Investments – unaffiliated in the Statement of Operations.

#### NOTE 5. PRINCIPAL RISKS
**Unlisted Closed-End Structure and Liquidity Limited to Quarterly Repurchases of Shares Risk.** The Fund has been organized as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies in that investors in a closed-end fund do not have the right to redeem their shares on a daily basis. Unlike most closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, the Fund does not intend to list the shares for trading on any securities exchange, and the Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for the shares. The Fund will offer only a limited degree of liquidity by conducting quarterly repurchase offers, which are generally expected to be for 5% of the Fund's outstanding shares. There is no assurance that the Fund will repurchase shares in the amount desired. In addition, with very limited exceptions, shares are not transferable, and liquidity will be provided only through repurchase offers made quarterly by the Fund. Shares are considerably less liquid than shares of funds that trade on a stock exchange or shares of open-end registered investment companies.

There will be a substantial period of time between the date as of which shareholders must submit a request to have their shares repurchased and the date they can expect to receive payment for their shares from the Fund. Shareholders whose shares are accepted for repurchase bear the risk that the Fund's net asset value may fluctuate significantly between the time that they submit their repurchase requests and the date as of which such shares are valued for purposes of such repurchase.

**Repurchase Offers Risk.** The Fund currently expects to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of its outstanding shares. Substantial requests for the Fund to repurchase shares could require the Fund to liquidate certain of its investments more rapidly than otherwise desirable. In the event that a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, the Fund will repurchase tendered shares on a pro rata basis. Shareholders may be unable to liquidate all or a given percentage of their investment in the Fund during a particular repurchase offer.

**Credit and Counterparty Risk.** In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where the risk of potential loss exists due to failure of the other party to a transaction to perform ("credit risk"). Bonds and other debt securities are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default. Like credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled, or open transactions will default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to credit risk, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties ("counterparty risk"). The extent of the Fund's exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets is incorporated within its carrying value as recorded in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For certain derivative contracts (including futures, options on futures and certain swaps), the potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the financial statements for the Fund.

**Interest Rate Risk.** When interest rates increase, fixed-income securities generally will decline in value. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates and general economic conditions. Fixed-income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than those with shorter durations.

**Inflation Risk.** Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund's shares and distributions thereon can decline. Inflation risk is linked to increases in the prices of goods and services and a decrease in the purchasing power of money. Inflation may reduce the intrinsic value of an investment in the Fund.

**Liquidity and Valuation Risk.** The securities in which the Fund invests will often be illiquid and may include other funds that will typically hold one or just a few investments. Valuations reported by other fund managers, which will form the basis for the Fund's NAV, may be subject to later adjustment or revision. Valuations of Private Funds are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time, and may be based on estimates. The Adviser has engaged the services of a third-party pricing service to assist its valuations of Fund investments in certain circumstances.

**Market and Volatility Risk.** In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where the risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market ("market risk"). Additionally, prices of financial instruments may fluctuate over short periods or extended periods of time in response to company, market, economic or political news ("volatility risk"). Equity securities generally have more price volatility than fixed-income securities, and long term fixed-income securities normally have more price volatility than short term fixed-income securities. The Fund may invest in derivatives to hedge the Fund's portfolio as well as for investment purposes which may increase volatility. Volatility may cause the Fund's NAV per share to experience significant appreciation or depreciation in value over short periods of time.

**Foreign Securities Risk.** Investing in securities of foreign companies or issued by foreign governments generally involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include the potential for revaluation of currencies, different accounting policies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices may be more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. Government.

**Emerging Market Securities Risk.** Investing in securities of emerging market countries generally involves greater risk than investing in foreign securities in developed markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed and are likely to be less stable than those in more advanced countries. These risks include the potential for government intervention, adverse changes in earnings and business prospects, liquidity, credit and currency risks, and price volatility. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited.

**Sector Risk.** Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad categories called sectors. Sector risk is the risk that securities of companies within specific sectors of the economy can perform differently than the overall market. For example, this may be due to changes in the regulatory or competitive environment or to changes in investor perceptions regarding a sector. Because the Fund may allocate relatively more assets to certain sectors than others, the Fund's performance may be more susceptible to any developments which affect those sectors emphasized by the Fund.

**Investment in Other Investment Companies Risk**. Investments in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, are subject to market risk. In addition, if the Fund acquires shares of investment companies, including ones affiliated with the Fund, Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Fund (including management and advisory fees) and, indirectly, the expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. To the extent that shares of the Fund are held by an affiliated fund, the ability of the Fund itself to invest in other investment companies may be limited.

**Concentration Risk.** To the extent that the Fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors, issuers, types of investment or a limited number of securities from time to time, the Fund may be subject to greater risks of adverse economic, business or political developments in such areas of focus than a fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments.

**Cybersecurity Risk.** Cyber-attacks could disrupt daily operations related to trading and portfolio management. In addition, technology disruptions and cyber-attacks may impact the operations or securities prices of an issuer or a group of issuers, and thus may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund's investments. Cyber-attacks on the Fund, the Sub-Advisers or a service provider could cause business failures or delays in daily processing and the Fund may need to delay transactions, consistent with regulatory requirements, as a result and could impact the performance of the Fund. The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence, could exacerbate these risks or result in cybersecurity incidents that implicate personal data.

**Private Funds Risk.** The Private Funds will not be subject to the 1940 Act, nor will they be publicly traded. As a result, the Fund's investments in the Private Funds will not be subject to the protections afforded to Shareholders under the 1940 Act. By investing in the Private Funds indirectly through the Fund, a Shareholder bears two layers of asset-based fees and expenses – at the Fund level and the Private Fund level – in addition to indirectly bearing any performance fees charged by the Private Fund. Given the limited liquidity of the Private Funds, the Fund may not be able to alter its portfolio allocation in sufficient time to respond to any changes in the Private Funds that could be material and adverse, resulting in substantial losses from risks of Private Funds.

**Currency Risk.** Investing directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in financial derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, involves the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund's base currency will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time or currencies may become illiquid for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, general economics of a country, actions (or inaction) of the U.S. Government or banks, foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.

**Real Estate Investment Risk.** The Fund may concentrate its assets in the real estate industry and investments in the Fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Risks of investing in real estate securities include falling property values due to increasing vacancies in rental properties, declining rents resulting from economic, legal, tax, cultural, political or technological developments, lack of liquidity, limited diversification, and sensitivity to certain economic factors such as interest-rate changes and other market conditions.

**REIT Investment Risk.** The risks of investing in REITs include certain risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and the real estate industry in general. These include risks related to general, regional and local economic conditions; difficulties in valuing and disposing of real estate; fluctuations in interest rates and property tax rates; shifts in zoning laws; environmental regulations and other governmental action; cash flow dependency; increased operating expenses; lack of availability of mortgage funds; losses due to natural disasters; overbuilding; losses due to casualty or condemnation; changes in property values and rental rates; the management skill and creditworthiness of the REIT manager; and other factors. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, may engage in dilutive offerings of securities and may be more volatile than other securities. REITs could be adversely affected by failure to maintain their exemptions from registration under the 1940 Act or failure to qualify for the "dividends paid deduction" under the Code, which allows REITs to reduce their corporate taxable income for dividends paid to their shareholders.

**Timberland-Related Companies Risk.** An investment in the Fund is subject to certain risks associated with the ownership of timberland, timber and timber-related assets in general, including: the volatility of forest product prices; changes in foreign and U.S. trade and tariff policies; general market forces, such as regional growth rates, construction activity, changes in currency exchange rates and capital spending; competition from the use of alternative building materials and other decreases in demand; forestry regulations restricting timber harvesting or other aspects of business; the illiquidity of timber-related asset investments; losses from fire and other causes; uninsured casualties; force majeure acts, terrorist events, under-insured or uninsurable losses; and other factors which are beyond the reasonable control of the Fund or the Private Funds.

**Agriculture/Farmland Related Companies Risk.** An investment in the Fund is subject to certain risks associated with investments in and related to agriculture and farmland. These investments are subject to various risks, including adverse changes in national or international economic conditions, adverse local market conditions, adverse natural conditions such as storms, floods, drought, windstorms, hail, temperature extremes, frosts, soil erosion, infestations and blights, failure of irrigation or other mechanical systems used to cultivate the land, financial conditions of tenants, marketability of any particular kind of crop that may be influenced, among other things, by changing consumer tastes and preferences, import and export restrictions or tariffs, casualty or condemnation losses, government subsidy or production programs, buyers and sellers of properties, availability of excess supply of property relative to demand, changes in availability of debt financing, changes in interest rates, real estate tax rates and other operating expenses, environmental laws and regulations, governmental regulation of and risks associated with the use of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals used in commercial agriculture, zoning laws and other governmental rules and fiscal policies, energy prices, changes in the relative popularity of properties, risk due to dependence on cash flow, as well as acts of God, uninsurable losses and other factors which are beyond the control of the Fund or the Private Funds.

**Infrastructure Companies Risk*.*** Securities and instruments of infrastructure companies are more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting their industries. Infrastructure companies may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction programs, high leverage, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Infrastructure companies may also be affected by or subject to: regulation by various government authorities; government regulation of rates charged to customers; service interruption due to environmental, operational or other mishaps; the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards; and general changes in market sentiment toward infrastructure and utilities assets. Other factors that may affect the operations of infrastructure-related companies include

------

#### Jackson Real Assets Fund

#### Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2026

innovations in technology, significant changes to the number of ultimate end-users of a company's products, increased susceptibility to terrorist acts or political actions, risks of environmental damage due, and general changes in market sentiment toward infrastructure and utilities assets.

**Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk.** The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries. Political disruptions, terrorism, armed conflicts, tariffs or the threat of tariffs, other restrictions on trade or economic sanctions, global health crises and pandemics, and geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. For example, the prolonged armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Iran, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, and potential conflict between China and Taiwan (including if China were to attempt unification of Taiwan by force) may adversely affect the value of the Fund's investments. In addition, the Iranian conflict that commenced in February 2026 may result in market disruptions, including declines in regional and global stock markets, unusual volatility in global commodity markets and significant devaluations in currency. Escalation of hostilities in the Middle East could disrupt energy production or transportation, including through key shipping routes, which may lead to increased volatility in energy and other commodity prices. The extent and duration of this conflict is impossible to predict. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund's investments and the Fund. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Fund and of the Fund's service providers.

**Artificial Intelligence Risk.** Recent technological developments in, and the increasingly widespread use of, Artificial Intelligence ("AI") Technologies may pose risks to the Fund. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of AI Technologies. As AI Technologies are used more widely, the profitability and growth of Fund holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of the Fund. The legal and regulatory frameworks within which AI Technologies operate continue to rapidly evolve, and it is not possible to predict the full extent of current or future risks related thereto.

#### NOTE 6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND COLLATERAL
Under various agreements, certain investment transactions require collateral to be pledged to or from the Fund and a counterparty or segregated at the custodian and the collateral is managed pursuant to the terms of the agreement. U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. dollars are generally the preferred forms of collateral, although other forms of high quality or sovereign securities may be used. Securities held by the Fund that are used as collateral are identified as such within the Schedule of Investments.

**Master Netting Agreements ("Master Agreements").** The Fund is subject to various Master Agreements, which govern the terms of certain transactions and mitigate the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Because different types of financial transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different Master Agreement, potentially resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. The Fund may net exposure and collateralize multiple transaction types governed by the same Master Agreement with the same counterparty and may close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default and/or termination event with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. Each Master Agreement defines whether the Fund is contractually able to net settle daily payments. Additionally, certain circumstances, such as laws of a particular jurisdiction or settlement of amounts due in different currencies, may prohibit or restrict the right of offset as defined in the Master Agreements.

Master Agreements also help limit credit and counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral) governed under the relevant master agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. The Fund's overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant Master Agreement. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund's Sub-Advisers attempt to limit counterparty risk by only entering into Master Agreements with counterparties that the Sub-Advisers believe to have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

**Customer Account Agreements.** Customer Account Agreements and related addendums govern exchange traded or centrally cleared derivative transactions such as futures, options on futures and centrally cleared derivatives. If the Fund transacts in exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives, the Sub-Advisers are parties to agreements with (1) a Futures Commissions Merchant ("FCM") in which the FCM facilitates the execution of the exchange traded and centrally cleared derivative with the DCO and (2) with an executing broker/swap dealer to agree to the terms of the swap and resolution process in the event the centrally cleared swap is not accepted for clearing by the designated DCO. Exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives transactions require posting an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount known as the "initial margin" as determined by each relevant clearing agency and is segregated at an FCM which is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") or the applicable regulator. The Fund receives from, or pays to, the counterparty an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as the "variation margin". For certain exchanges or DCOs, variation margin may include more than one day's fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Variation margin on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities may include variation margin on closed unsettled derivative transactions. Variation margin received may not be netted between exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives. In the event of default, counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors to the FCM do not have claim to the Fund's assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk.

**International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes ("ISDA Master Agreements").** ISDA Master Agreements govern OTC financial derivative transactions entered into by the Fund's Sub-Advisers and select counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, events of default, termination and maintenance of collateral. Termination includes conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to early termination could be material to the financial statements. In the event of default, the total financial derivative value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty. The amount of collateral exchanged is based on provisions within the ISDA Master Agreements and is determined by the net exposure with the counterparty and is not identified for a specific OTC derivative instrument.

#### NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
**Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.** A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund's investment securities, but it does establish a fixed rate of currency exchange that can be achieved in the future. The value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss and as a receivable or payable from forward foreign currency contracts. Upon settlement, or delivery or receipt of the currency, a realized gain or loss is recorded which is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Forward foreign currency contracts involve market risk in excess of the receivable or payable related to forward foreign currency contracts recorded by the Fund. Although contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. Additionally, the Fund could be exposed to the risk of a previously hedged position becoming unhedged if the counterparty to a contract is unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the currency changes unfavorably to the value of the offsetting currency. The Fund entered into foreign currency contracts as a means of risk management/hedging.

#### NOTE 8. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
**Advisory Fees.** The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement ("Investment Management Agreement") with JNAM. Subject to the oversight of the Fund's Board of Trustees, JNAM provides investment management services. Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, JNAM will receive an annual fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.15% on net assets between $0 - $1 billion and 1.10% on net assets over $1 billion.

**Administrative Fee.** JNAM also serves as the Administrator to the Fund. JNAM provides or procures most of the necessary administrative functions and services for the operations of the Fund. The Fund pays JNAM an annual fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% on net assets between $0 - $3 billion and 0.22% on net assets over $3 billion. In accordance with the administration agreement, JNAM, at its own expense, arranges for legal, audit, fund accounting, transfer agency, custody (except overdraft and interest expense), printing and mailing, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer costs, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Fund is responsible for trading expenses including brokerage commissions, interest and taxes, other non-operating expenses, licensing costs, directors and officers insurance, the fees and expenses of the disinterested Trustees ("Independent Trustees") and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees, a portion of the costs associated with the Chief Compliance Officer, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund, except those specifically allocated to the Administrator under the administration agreement.

**Distribution Agreement.** Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor of the Fund's shares on a best-efforts basis pursuant to a distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") between the Fund and the Distributor.

**Deferred Compensation Plan.** The Fund adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan whereby an Independent Trustee may defer the receipt of all or a portion of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the Fund, are treated as if invested in shares of one or more investment options at the discretion of the applicable Independent Trustee. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the Fund and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Liabilities related to deferred balances are included in Payable for Board of Trustees fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Increases or decreases related to the changes in value of deferred balances are included in Board of Trustees fees set forth in the Statement of Operations.

#### NOTE 9. REPURCHASE OFFERS
The Fund is a closed-end interval fund and, in order to provide some liquidity to Shareholders, the Fund, subject to applicable law, conducts quarterly repurchase offers of the Fund's outstanding Shares at the applicable NAV per Share, subject to approval of the Board. In all cases such repurchases will be for at least 5% and not more than 25% of the Fund's outstanding Shares at the applicable NAV per Share, pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act. The Fund currently expects to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of its outstanding Shares under ordinary circumstances. The Fund believes that these repurchase offers are generally beneficial to Shareholders, and repurchases generally will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. However, repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations may affect the ability of the Fund to be fully invested or force the Fund to maintain a higher percentage of its assets in liquid investments, which may harm the Fund's investment performance. Moreover, diminution in the size of the Fund through repurchases may result in untimely sales of portfolio securities (with associated imputed transaction costs, which may be significant), and may limit the ability of the Fund to participate in new investment opportunities or to achieve its investment objective. The Fund may

------

#### Jackson Real Assets Fund

#### Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2026

accumulate cash by holding back (i.e., not reinvesting) payments received in connection with the Fund's investments. The Fund believes that payments received in connection with the Fund's investments will generate sufficient cash to meet the maximum potential amount of the Fund's repurchase obligations. If at any time cash and other liquid assets held by the Fund are not sufficient to meet the Fund's repurchase obligations, the Fund intends, if necessary, to sell investments. If, as expected, the Fund employs investment leverage, repurchases of Shares would compound the adverse effects of leverage in a declining market. In addition, if the Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on that borrowing will negatively affect Shareholders who do not tender their Shares by increasing the Fund's expenses and reducing any net investment income.

If a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, the Board may determine to increase the amount repurchased by up to 2% of the Fund's outstanding Shares as of the date of the Repurchase Request Deadline. In the event that the Board determines not to repurchase more than the repurchase offer amount, or if Shareholders tender more than the repurchase offer amount plus 2% of the Fund's outstanding Shares as of the date of the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will repurchase the Shares tendered on a pro rata basis, and Shareholders will have to wait until the next repurchase offer to make another repurchase request. As a result, Shareholders may be unable to liquidate all or a given percentage of their investment in the Fund during a particular repurchase offer. Some Shareholders, in anticipation of proration, may tender more Shares than they wish to have repurchased in a particular quarter, thereby increasing the likelihood that proration will occur. A Shareholder may be subject to market and other risks, and the NAV per Share of Shares tendered in a repurchase offer may decline between the Repurchase Request Deadline and the date on which the NAV per Share for tendered Shares is determined. In addition, the repurchase of Shares by the Fund may be a taxable event to Shareholders.

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund engaged in the following repurchase offers:

#### NOTE 10. INCOME TAX MATTERS
The Fund intends to qualify as a RIC and to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the Code, applicable to RICs. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The Fund did not pay significant federal, state, or local income taxes nor did the Fund pay significant income taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

The following information is presented on an income tax basis (in thousands). Differences between amounts for financial statements and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing and character differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. Permanent differences between financial statement and federal income tax reporting are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Permanent differences may include but are not limited to the following: foreign currency reclassifications, reclassifications on the sale of passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") or REIT securities, accounting treatment of private investment funds and distribution adjustments. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets.

As of March 31, 2026, the cost of investments and the components of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (in thousands) for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

\* Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest and net short-term capital gains, if any.

The Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. The Fund's federal tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three fiscal years after the date they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional period of time depending on the jurisdiction. Management completed an evaluation of the Fund's tax positions taken for all open tax years and based on that evaluation, determined that no provision for federal income tax was required in the Fund's financial statements during the year ended March 31, 2026.

#### NOTE 11. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Fund's President and Chief Executive Officer is the Fund's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The Fund operates as a single reportable segment, which reflects how the CODM monitors and manages the operating results of the Fund. The CODM manages the allocation of resources in accordance with the Fund's objective and the terms of its prospectus and evaluates total return of the Fund versus its comparative benchmarks. The Adviser or Sub-Advisers implement the investment objective and program by selecting securities and determining asset allocation ranges. The financial information used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance and to allocate resources, including total return, expense ratios, changes in net assets from operations and portfolio composition is consistent with that presented within the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Total Assets and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

#### NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events for the Fund through the date the financial statements are issued and has concluded there were no events that require adjustments to the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to financial statements.

#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees<br>Jackson Real Assets Fund:

*Opinion on the Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Jackson Real Assets Fund (the Fund), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year then ended and the period from April 29, 2024 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for the year then ended and the period from April 29, 2024 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2025. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and the period from April 29, 2024 through March 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

*Basis for Opinion*

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and general partners/managers of the underlying investments or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Additional Disclosures (Unaudited)
March 31, 2026

**Disclosure of Fund Expenses.** Shareholders incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, shareholder services and other operating expenses. Operating expenses such as these are deducted from the Fund's gross income and directly reduce the final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Fund's average net assets; this percentage is known as the Fund's expense ratio. The examples below use the expense ratio and are intended to help the investor understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

**Expenses Using Actual Fund Return**. This section provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses incurred by the Fund. Use the information in this section, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading titled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses paid during this period.

**Expenses Using Hypothetical 5% Return.** This section provides information that can be used to compare the Fund's costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund's expense ratio for the period is unchanged and assumes an annual 5% return before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return.

#### Item 2. Code of Ethics.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant had adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, applicable to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. There were no substantive amendments or any waivers to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report. A copy of this code of ethics is filed as Exhibit 19(a)(1) to this Form N-CSR.

#### Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant has named Mark Wehrle as an Audit Committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee. Mark Wehrle is not an "interested person" of the Trust, as that term is defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is considered "independent" for purposes of this Item.

An "audit committee financial expert" is not an "expert" for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a result of being designated as an "audit committee financial expert." Further, the designation of a person as an "audit committee financial expert" does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the "audit committee financial expert" designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an "audit committee financial expert" does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or Board of Trustees.

#### Jackson National Asset Management, LLC
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**I. Introduction**

While JNAM is the investment adviser to the Funds, certain affiliated and non-affiliated sub- advisers ("Sub-Advisers") conduct the day-to-day investment management of the Funds. Pursuant to the Sub-Advisers' respective "Sub-Advisory Agreements" with JNAM, the Sub-Advisers make the investment decisions for the Funds, including determinations as to the purchase and sale of securities for the Funds and the disposition of the assets for the Funds. JNAM, pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC, is a "Manager of Managers," and monitors and reviews the performance of the Sub-Advisers and the Funds. JNAM does not make individual investment decisions on behalf of the sub-advised Funds, and its trading and portfolio management functions are limited to private funds, the "Fund of Funds," which invest in registered investment Companies ("Underlying Funds") or the Multi Manager Funds, which invest in various Sleeves of the Multi Manager Funds. JNAM does not have a traditional portfolio management department and does not operate a traditional trading desk. JNAM provides the Funds with various services, including, but not limited to, compliance, fund accounting, transfer agency services, due diligence, and administrative services.

JNAM views the proxy voting process as a component of the investment process and, as such, seeks to ensure that all proxy proposals are voted with the primary goal of seeking the optimal benefit for its clients. JNAM maintains a policy of seeking to protect the best interests of its clients should a proxy issue potentially implicate a conflict of interest between its clients and JNAM or its affiliates. Schedule A lists the Funds to which this policy relates.

Also, the Funds are required to file an annual record of their respective proxy votes with the SEC by August 31st of each year on Form N-PX. The period covered by the Funds' Form N-PX filing with the SEC is July 1st through June 30th of the following year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**II. Delegation to the Sub-Advisers**

The Funds have delegated proxy voting responsibilities to JNAM, as the investment adviser to the Funds, and JNAM is authorized to delegate, in whole or in part, its proxy voting authority to the Funds' Sub-Advisers, consistent with the policies set forth below. The Sub-Advisers are expected to identify and seek to obtain the optimal benefit for the Funds. JNAM believes that the Sub-Advisers generally are also best suited to evaluate and vote proxies for the securities they acquire for the Funds. Therefore, except as provided herein, and as delegated to JNAM by the Funds' Board, it is JNAM's policy to delegate its proxy voting responsibility, primarily to the Sub-Advisers of each Fund. JNAM intends to maintain substantial oversight to ensure that each Fund's Sub-Adviser has written policies that meet certain minimum standards, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. The policies are expected to be reasonably designed to protect the best interests of the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. JNAM expects that a Sub-Adviser's proxy voting guidelines will be set forth in sufficient detail.

------

The proxy voting guidelines (or the Sub-Adviser's, through separate written means) should address at least the following issues:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. Procedures on how the Sub-Adviser demonstrates its voting determinations in the Fund's best interest and in accordance with the Funds' proxy voting policies and procedures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. Procedures the Sub-Adviser considers when it becomes aware of potential factual errors, potential incompleteness, or potential weaknesses in methodologies in a proxy advisory firm's analysis that may materially affect one or more of the Sub-Adviser's voting determinations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. The extent to which the Sub-Adviser delegates its proxy voting decisions to a third party, or relies on

the recommendations of a third party;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv. Procedures for the Sub-Adviser's evaluation of the services of a proxy advisory firm that it retains, including evaluating any material changes in services or operations by the proxy advisory firm;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v. Policies and procedures describing the factors the Sub-Adviser assesses when engaging the services of a proxy advisory firm;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vi. Policies and procedures relating to matters that may affect substantially the rights or privileges of the holders of securities to be voted; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vii. Policies regarding the extent to which the Sub-Adviser will support or give weight to the views of management of a portfolio company.

The policies are expected to delineate procedures to be followed when a proxy vote presents a conflict between the interests of a Fund and the interests of its Sub-Adviser and/or its affiliates, and to resolve any conflicts of interest based on the best interests of the Fund. If the matter involves an issue that is specifically addressed in the Sub-Adviser's proxy voting policies, the proxy shall be cast in accordance with those policies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. To the extent that a Sub-Adviser identifies a material conflict of interest between itself and the interests of a Fund, the Sub-Adviser shall notify JNAM and confirm how the conflict was resolved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. JNAM shall periodically report to the Funds' Board, on the Funds' proxy voting during that year, including the resolution of any conflicts of interest during that period, any votes cast in contravention of the Sub-Advisers' proxy voting policy, and any recommended changes in the Funds' proxy voting policies. JNAM may also provide the Funds' Board with information related to any third-party vendors used to facilitate proxy voting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**III. Reservation of JNAM's Authority and Conflicts of Interest**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. JNAM may periodically review the proxy voting policies of each Sub-Adviser. JNAM seeks to insure that the Sub- Advisers seek the best interests of the Funds in voting proxies for the Funds, as described herein.

In addition, JNAM recognizes that in certain circumstances, Sub-Advisers may wish to abstain from a proxy vote based on a cost benefit analysis that casting a vote would not be in the overall best interests of the Fund it sub- advises. In cases where the operational or other costs involved in voting a proxy outweigh potential benefits, JNAM may permit a Sub-Adviser to abstain from voting. In particular, JNAM recognizes the following circumstances where voting might not be in

------

the best interests of a Fund (these circumstances apply to ESG funds and non- ESG funds):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. Voting a proxy for securities held in a passively managed index fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. Voting a proxy for certain foreign securities with "block out" or other restrictive features associated with proxy voting or which involve additional costs such as hiring a translator or traveling to the foreign country to vote the security in person; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. Voting a proxy for securities that have been loaned by the Fund and would have to be recalled in order to submit a proxy vote.

Sub-Advisers may abstain from voting proxies in other circumstances where it determined that such a vote may not be in the best interests of the Fund(s) and its shareholders, or there is a material conflict of interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. In cases where the Funds' may have securities on loan at the time that proxies are to be voted, the Sub-Adviser may call loaned securities back to vote the proxies. If the request to call back the securities is not successful for any reason, the counterparty retains the right to vote the proxies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. For a Fund that is operated as a "Fund of Funds" pursuant to Section 12(d)(1)(G) or Section 12d1-4 of the Investment Company Act JNAM shall vote the Fund of Funds' proxies on the shares of the certain Underlying Fund (i.e., mutual funds) in the same proportion as the vote of all the other holders of that Underlying Fund's shares or utilize pass-through voting when the Fund of Funds are the only shareholders of an acquired fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**IV. Other Conflicts of Interest**

For purposes of other conflicts of interests within the larger Jackson Financial Inc. to which JNAM is subject, it is noted that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Jackson Financial Inc. and its affiliates do not, and will not, interfere by giving direct or indirect instructions or in any other way in the exercise of the voting rights attached to the Funds' securities in respect of which JNAM and/or the Sub-Advisers will vote proxies in such securities on behalf the Funds' ("Voting Rights");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. JNAM and/or the Sub-Advisers are free in all situations to exercise the Voting Rights independently of Jackson Financial Inc.; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. JNAM and/or the Sub-Advisers disregard and will disregard the interests of Jackson Financial Inc. or its affiliates whenever conflicts of interest arise in the exercise of the Voting Rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**V. Recordkeeping**

Rule 30b1-4 under the Investment Company Act requires each Fund to file its complete proxy voting record on an annual basis (for each reporting period ending June 30th) on Form N-PX no later than August 31st of each year. JNAM will prepare and file Form N-PX on behalf of the Funds based on proxy voting data collected by a third-party service provider retained by JNAM and the Funds.

In addition, JNAM will post this data on a public website, the address of which will be disclosed for

the benefit of shareholders (contract holders) in the statement of additional information of any Fund filing its annual registration statement update.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**VI. Reporting**

There is not a formal Board reporting requirement, however, where there is a conflict of interest, JNAM may

------

report such incident and resolution to the Funds' Board

<u>Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc.</u>

Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. and its affiliated investment advisers (collectively, "Cohen & Steers," the "Company," or "we") may be granted the authority to vote proxies of securities held in its clients' portfolios. Our objective is to vote proxies in the best interests of our clients. To further this objective, we have adopted this Global Proxy Voting Policy (the "Proxy Voting Policy"). Part I of the Proxy Voting Policy contains the Proxy Voting Procedures and Part II contains the Proxy Voting Guidelines.

#### Part I: Proxy Voting Procedures
**A. Proxy Committee**

The Company's proxy voting committee (the "Proxy Committee") is responsible for overseeing the proxy voting process and for establishing and maintaining the Proxy Voting Policy, which is reviewed and updated annually. The Proxy Committee is comprised of members of the Company's investment team and legal and compliance department. <br>

The Proxy Committee is responsible for, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· reviewing the Proxy Voting Procedures to ensure consistency with the Company's internal policies and applicable rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· reviewing the Proxy Voting Guidelines and establishing additional voting guidelines as necessary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· ensuring that proxies are voted in accordance with the Proxy Voting Guidelines; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· ensuring there is an appropriate rationale for not voting proxies in accordance with the Proxy Voting Guidelines and that such votes are properly documented.

**B. Proxy Administration Group**

The proxy administration group is responsible for distributing proxy materials to investment personnel who are in turn responsible for voting proxies in accordance with the Proxy Voting Guidelines. Proxies that are not voted in accordance with the Proxy Voting Guidelines, votes against management, and proxies voted on environmental and social proposals are required to be documented and include a rationale. The proxy administration group is responsible for maintaining this documentation.

**C. Proxy Advisory Firm**

We have retained an independent proxy advisory firm to assist with the proxy voting process. The proxy advisory firm is responsible for coordinating with clients' custodians to ensure that all proxy materials received by the custodians relating to the clients' portfolio securities are processed in a timely manner. In addition, the proxy advisory firm is responsible for maintaining copies of all proxy materials received by issuers and promptly providing such materials to Cohen & Steers upon request.

From time to time, we may become aware of circumstances in which a company intends to file or has filed additional soliciting materials after we have received the proxy advisory firm's voting recommendation but before the submission deadline. If a company files such additional information sufficiently in advance of the voting deadline to allow us to review the information and the information could reasonably be expected to affect our voting determination, we will seek to obtain such additional materials in connection with our exercise of voting authority.

The proxy administration group works with the proxy advisory firm and is responsible for ensuring that proxy votes are properly recorded and that necessary information about each proxy vote is maintained.

At least annually, the Company will conduct a review of its ongoing use of the proxy advisory firm. In addition, at least annually, the Company will conduct a review of the adequacy of its own voting policies and procedures to

------

determine that they have been formulated reasonably and implemented effectively, including whether the applicable policies and procedures continue to be reasonably designed to ensure that the votes the Company casts on behalf of its clients are in their best interest.

**D. Conflicts of Interest**

The Investment Advisers Act of 1940 requires that proxy voting procedures adopted and implemented by a U.S. investment adviser include procedures that address material conflicts of interest that may arise between an investment adviser's interests and those of its clients. The following are non-exclusive examples of sources of perceived or potential conflicts of interest relating to Cohen & Steers (including its affiliates):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Cohen & Steers has a pecuniary interest in the matter voted upon;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Cohen & Steers has a material financial relationship with the issuer soliciting the vote;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A member of the board of directors of Cohen & Steers or Cohen & Steers, Inc. is a senior executive of, or a member of the board of directors of, the issuer soliciting the vote;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· An employee of Cohen & Steers is a senior executive of, or a member of the board of directors of, the issuer soliciting the vote;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· An employee of Cohen & Steers is an immediate family member of either a senior executive of, or a member of the board of directors of, the issuer soliciting the vote and such family member could foreseeably receive material non-public information about the issuer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Cohen & Steers or a collective investment vehicle sponsored by Cohen & Steers has a direct or indirect material interest in a joint venture in which the issuer soliciting the vote is a joint venture partner;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The issuer soliciting the vote is a significant shareholder of Cohen & Steers, Inc.; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The issuer soliciting the vote is Cohen & Steers, Inc.

When a potential material conflict of interest is identified, the Proxy Committee, in consultation with the Legal & Compliance Department, will evaluate the facts and circumstances and determine whether an actual conflict exists. If the Proxy Committee determines that a material conflict of interest does exist, it will make a recommendation on how the proxy should be voted.

Depending on the nature of the conflict, the Proxy Committee, in the course of addressing the material conflict, may elect to take one or more of the following actions (or other appropriate action):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· removing certain Cohen & Steers personnel from the proxy voting process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "walling off" personnel with knowledge of the conflict to ensure that such personnel do not influence the relevant proxy vote; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· outsourcing the vote to an independent third party that will vote in accordance with the Proxy Voting Guidelines.

**E. Foreign Securities**

Proxies relating to foreign securities are subject to the Proxy Voting Policy. In certain foreign jurisdictions, however, the voting of proxies may result in additional restrictions that have an economic impact or cost to the security. For example, certain countries restrict a shareholder's ability to sell shares for a certain period of time if the shareholder votes proxies at a meeting (a practice known as "share-blocking"). In other instances, the costs of voting a proxy (i.e. being required to vote in person at the meeting) may outweigh any benefit to the client if the proxy is voted.

In determining whether to vote proxies subject to such restrictions, the investment personnel responsible for the security must engage in a cost-benefit analysis and where the expected costs exceed the expected benefits, Cohen & Steers will generally abstain from voting the proxy.

**F. Shares of Registered Investment Companies**

------

Certain funds advised by Cohen & Steers may be structured as funds of funds and invest their assets primarily in other investment companies ("Funds of Funds"). Funds of Funds hold shares in underlying funds and may be solicited to vote on matters pertaining to these underlying funds. With respect to such matters, in order to comply with Section 12(d)(1)(F) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, Funds of Funds will vote their shares in any underlying fund in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders in that underlying fund (sometimes called "echo" or "proportionate" voting); provided, however, that in situations where proportionate voting is administratively impractical (i.e. proxy contests) Fund of Funds will cast a vote or, in certain cases, not cast a vote, so long as the action taken does not have an effect on the outcome of the matter being voted upon different than if the Funds of Funds had proportionately voted. The proportionate voting procedures described above do not apply to non-U.S. underlying funds held by Funds of Funds. Proxies for non-U.S. funds are actively voted in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

**G. Cohen & Steers Funds**

The Board of Directors of the U.S. open-end and closed-end funds managed by Cohen & Steers (the "Cohen & Steers Funds") has delegated to Cohen & Steers the responsibility for voting proxies on behalf of the Cohen & Steers Funds. As such, proxies for portfolio securities held by any Cohen & Steers Fund will be voted in accordance with the Proxy Voting Policy. The Chief Compliance Officer, or a designee, will make an annual presentation to the Board about these procedures and guidelines, including whether any revisions are recommended and will report to the Board at each regular, quarterly meeting with respect to any conflict of interest that arose in the proxy voting process.

**H. Securities Lending**

Some clients may have entered into securities lending arrangements with custo¬dians or other third-party agent lenders. Cohen & Steers will not be able to vote securities that are on loan under these types of arrangements. However, under rare circumstances, for voting issues that may have a significant impact on the investment, we may ask clients to recall securities that are on loan if we believe that the benefit of voting outweighs the costs to the client and lost revenue to the client or fund and the administrative burden of recalling the securities.

**I. Recordkeeping**

In accordance with applicable regulations, we maintain the following records:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· copies of all proxy voting policies and procedures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· copies of all proxy materials that we receive for client securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· records of all votes cast by us on behalf of our clients;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· copies of all written client requests for information about how we voted proxies on behalf of such client and copies of all responses thereto.

**J. Pre-Solicitation Contact**

From time to time, portfolio companies (or proxy solicitors acting on their behalf) may contact investment personnel or others in advance of the publication of proxy solicitation materials to solicit support for certain contemplated proposals. Such contact could result in the recipient receiving material non-public information and result in the imposition of trading restrictions by the Company. The appropriateness of the contact is determined on a case-by-case basis. Under certain circumstances, it may be appropriate to provide companies with our general approach to certain issues. Promising our vote, however, is prohibited under all circumstances.

#### First Sentier Investors
First Sentier Investors (FSI) is a global asset manager with experience across a range of asset classes

and specialist investment sectors. We are stewards of assets managed on behalf of institutional investors, pension funds, wholesale distributors, investment platforms, financial advisers and their clients worldwide.

Proxy voting in public markets

**A.** We believe proxy voting is an important investor right and responsibility and should be exercised wherever possible. In addition, the ability to vote strengthens our position when engaging with investee companies and supports the stewardship of our clients' investments.

**B.** FSI expects its investment teams to:

**–** Vote on resolutions at company meetings where they have the authority to do so.

**–** Review all company resolutions and make appropriate recommendations. This includes considering the merits of all resolutions put forward, regardless of the proponents of the resolution

**–** and where there are multiple parts to a resolution, considering both the individual merits of each part of the resolution, as well as the impact of the resolution as a whole.

**–** Make best endeavours to inform the company beforehand when an investment team intends to vote against the company's recommendation on a substantial or contentious proposal, to explain the reasons for the decision with a view to achieving a satisfactory outcome. The team shall also continue to engage with the company on the topic afterwards.

**–** Document the reason for a vote against a proposal in the voting system.

**–** Make all votes in the best long-term interest of investors and clients. Where our clients wish to undertake voting directly for segregated accounts, work closely with them to encourage appropriate consideration of material ESG concerns.

<u>Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure</u>

JNAM manages the Fund according to the investment objective and strategy of the Fund. In this context, the term "portfolio manager" refers to development and oversight of the asset allocation process, including the Private Funds selected by JNAM in which the Fund's assets are invested, and the allocations to the Sub-Advisers. The portfolio managers are paid their regular base salary, receive an incentive bonus opportunity, and receive a benefits package commensurate with all other JNAM employees.

Jackson's policy is to reward professional staff according to competitive industry scales, personal effort and performance. This is accomplished through three primary compensation elements: Base salary and an annual bonus are the primary compensation arrangements. Certain individuals may participate in Jackson's long-term incentive program ("LTIP"). Base salary is evaluated for each professional at least annually based on tenure, performance, and market factors. The Jackson LTIP program is based on the overall performance of the operations of Jackson and other U.S. based affiliates. To help in retaining its investment professionals, the LTIP has a three-year cliff vesting schedule. The mix of base, discretionary bonus, and LTIP varies by level, with more senior employees having a greater percentage of their pay at risk through annual bonus and LTIP.

<u>Conflicts of Interest</u>

The managers, officers and employees of the Adviser may buy and sell securities or other investments for their own accounts. As a result of differing trading and investment strategies or constraints, investments may be made by managers, officers and employees that are the same, different from or made at different times than investments made for the Fund. To reduce the possibility that the Fund will be materially adversely affected by the personal trading described above, the Fund and the Adviser, as well as the Sub-Advisers, have adopted codes of ethics (collectively, the "Codes of Ethics") in compliance with Section 17(j) of the 1940 Act that restricts securities trading in the personal accounts of investment professionals and others who normally come into possession of information regarding the portfolio transactions of the Fund.

The Fund substantially relies on the Adviser to manage the day-to-day activities of the Fund and the Adviser, as well as the Sub-Advisers, to implement the Fund's investment strategy. The Adviser is involved with activities that are unrelated to the Fund. For example, the Adviser is not restricted from forming additional investment funds, from entering into other investment advisory relationships or from engaging in other business activities, even though such activities may be in competition with the Fund and/or may involve substantial time and resources of the Adviser. These activities could be viewed as creating a conflict of interest in that the time and effort of the Adviser and its officers and employees will not be devoted exclusively to the Fund's business but will be allocated between the Fund and the management of the assets of other clients of the Adviser. The Adviser and its employees will devote only as much of their time to the Fund's business as the Adviser and its employees, in their judgment, determine is reasonably required, which may be substantially less than their full time. Therefore, the Adviser and its employees may experience conflicts of interest in allocating management time, services and functions among the Fund and any other business ventures in which they or any of their key personnel, as applicable, are or may become involved. This could result in actions that are more favorable to other entities than to the Fund.

#### Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure
Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. ("C&S"), located at 1166 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036, serves as a Sub-Adviser to the Fund. C&S is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cohen & Steers, Inc., a publicly traded company whose shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "CNS." As compensation under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser pays C&S a monthly sub-advisory fee equal to 0.34% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Fund allocated to C&S.

C&S was formed in 1986 and its current clients include pension plans of leading corporations, endowment funds and investment companies, including each of the open-end and closed-end Cohen & Steers funds.

C&S is responsible for choosing the Fund's investments and the day-to-day portfolio management of those assets of the Fund allocated to it by the Adviser.

<u>Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure</u>

Compensation of portfolio managers and other investment professionals is comprised of: (1) a base salary, (2) an annual cash bonus and (3) long-term stock-based compensation consisting generally of restricted stock units of CNS, the parent company of C&S. All employees, including the portfolio managers and other investment professionals, also receive certain retirement, insurance and other benefits. Compensation is reviewed on an

------

annual basis. Cash bonuses, stock-based compensation awards, and adjustments in base salary are effective the January following the fiscal year-end of CNS.

Compensation for the portfolio managers is determined by evaluating four primary components, in order of emphasis: (1) investment performance, (2) leadership and collaboration, (3) team level revenue changes and (4) the firm's financial results.

The investment performance evaluation is based on the team's excess returns versus a representative benchmark and, where available, on the percentile rankings relative to an institutional peer group and percentile rankings relative to a retail peer group. The performance metrics are on a pre-tax and pre-expense basis and are reviewed for both the one- and three-year periods, with a greater weight given to the three-year period. The benchmark and peers which most represent the investment strategy are used in evaluating performance. For portfolio managers responsible for multiple funds and other accounts, performance is evaluated on an aggregate basis. Leadership and collaboration are evaluated through a qualitative assessment. The qualitative factors considered for evaluating leadership include, among others, process and innovation, team development, thought leadership, client service and cross team cooperation. A final factor is based on portfolio managers' ownership level in the Funds they manage.

On an annual basis, the performance metrics and leadership factors are aggregated to produce a quantitative assessment of the portfolio manager and investment team. This assessment is considered alongside calendar year over year changes in a strategy's advisory fees earned, the operating performance of C&S and CNS, and market factors to determine appropriate levels for salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation. Base compensation for portfolio managers are fixed and vary in line with the portfolio manager's seniority and position with the firm. Cash bonuses and stock based compensation may fluctuate significantly from year-to-year, based on this framework.

C&S has a negligible number of accounts with performance based fees, and although portfolio managers do not directly receive a portion of these fees, performance based fees may contribute to the overall profitability of C&S.

<u>Conflicts of Interest</u>

Although the potential for conflicts of interest exists when an investment adviser and portfolio managers manage other accounts that invest in securities in which the Fund may invest or that may pursue a strategy similar to one of the Fund's strategies, C&S has procedures in place that are designed to ensure that all accounts are treated fairly and that the Fund is not disadvantaged.

For example, a portfolio manager may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time, resources and investment opportunities among the Fund and the other accounts or vehicles he or she advises. In addition, due to differences in the investment strategies or restrictions among the Fund and the other accounts, a portfolio manager may take action with respect to another account that differs from the action taken with respect to the Fund. In some cases, another account managed by a portfolio manager may provide more revenue to C&S. While this may appear to create additional conflicts of interest for the portfolio manager in the allocation of management time, resources and investment opportunities, C&S strives to ensure that portfolio managers endeavor to exercise their discretion in a manner that is equitable to all interested persons. In this regard, in the absence of specific account-related limitations (such as client-imposed restrictions or lack of available cash), for equity strategies it is the general policy of C&S to allocate investment ideas pro rata to all accounts with the same primary investment strategy, except where an allocation would not produce a meaningful position size. C&S generally attempts to allocate orders for the same fixed-income security on a pro rata basis among participating eligible accounts. Purchases and sales of fixed-income securities, including new issues and other limited investment opportunities may differ from a pro-rata allocation based on the investment objective, guideline restrictions, the benchmark and characteristics of the particular account. When determining which accounts will participate in a block trade, C&S also takes into consideration factors that may include duration, sector and/or issuer weights relative to benchmark, cash flows / liquidity needs, style, maturity and credit quality. In addition, if the allocation process results in a very small allocation, or if there are minimum security requirements that are not achieved at our targeted position size, these amounts can be reallocated to other clients. To reach desired outcomes with regards to portfolio characteristics, certain portfolios may hold different securities with substantially similar investment characteristics to achieve its investment objective, such that comparable risk positioning, in accordance with guidelines and mandates, is realized over time. In addition, the Fund, as a registered investment company, is subject to different regulations than certain of the other accounts, and, consequently, may not be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or transactions, or to engage in such techniques or transactions to the same degree, as the other accounts.

Certain of the portfolio managers may from time to time manage one or more accounts in which C&S holds a substantial interest (the "CNS Accounts"). Certain securities held and traded in the CNS Accounts also may be held and traded in one or more client accounts. It is the policy of C&S, however, not to put the interests of the CNS Accounts ahead of the interests of client accounts. C&S may aggregate orders of client accounts with those of the CNS Accounts; however, under no circumstances will preferential treatment be given to the CNS Accounts. For all orders involving the CNS Accounts, purchases or sales will be allocated prior to trade placement, and orders that are only partially filled will be allocated across all accounts in proportion to the shares each account, including the CNS Accounts, was designated to receive prior to trading. As a result, it is expected that the CNS

------

Accounts will receive the same average price as other accounts included in the aggregated order. Shares will not normally be allocated or re-allocated to the CNS Accounts after trade execution or after the average price is known. However, in the event so few shares of an order are executed that a pro-rata allocation is not practical, a rotational system of allocation may be used; however, the CNS Accounts will never be part of that rotation or receive shares of a partially filled order other than on a pro-rata basis.

Because certain CNS Accounts are managed with a cash management objective, it is possible that a security will be sold out of the CNS Accounts but continue to be held for one or more client accounts. In situations when this occurs, such security will remain in a client account only if C&S, acting in its reasonable judgment and consistent with its fiduciary duties, believes this is appropriate for, and consistent with the objectives and profile of, the client account.

Certain accounts managed by C&S may compensate C&S using performance based fees. Orders for these accounts will be aggregated, to the extent possible, with any other account managed by C&S, regardless of the method of compensation. In the event such orders are aggregated, allocation of partially-filled orders will be made on a pro-rata basis in accordance with pre-trade indications. An account's fee structure is not considered when making allocation decisions.

Certain of the portfolio managers may from time to time manage portfolios used in a unified managed account programs or other model portfolio arrangements (collectively, "Model Portfolios") offered by various sponsors and/or other non-C&S investment advisors. In connection with these Model Portfolios, portfolio managers provide investment recommendations in the form of model portfolios to a third party, who is responsible for executing trades for participating client accounts. C&S maintains procedures designed to deliver portfolios on a fair and equitable basis. Trades for C&S discretionary managed accounts, including the Fund, are worked contemporaneously with the delivery of updated model information. The Model Portfolios may achieve a security weighting ahead of or after the weighting achieved in the Fund.

Finally, the structure of a portfolio manager's compensation may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. A portfolio manager's base pay and bonus tend to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management. As such, there may be an indirect relationship between a portfolio manager's marketing or sales efforts and his or her bonus compensation.

C&S has adopted certain compliance procedures that are designed to address the above conflicts as well as other types of conflicts of interests. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation where a conflict arises.

<u>Conflicts of Interest</u>

All employees are required to understand conflicts of interest, how they may arise and what should be done when conflicts are identified.

In the discharge of its fiduciary duties to clients, First Sentier Investors has in place policies and procedures to manage conflicts of interest. In summary conflicts are managed by:

Controlling/managing – conflicts of interest can be controlled in a variety of ways depending upon the nature of the conflict. First Sentier Investors may implement one or more controls to manage the risk of the conflict of interest; and/or

Disclosure – disclosing sufficient detail in a timely, prominent and meaningful way before or at the time of the actual or potential conflict; or

Avoiding – if an actual or potential conflict cannot be satisfactorily managed by disclosure and/or control, or by using other means, then the situation giving rise to the conflict will be avoided.

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise such as when a portfolio manager has primary day-to-day responsibilities with respect to multiple accounts. First Sentier Investors seeks to aggregate and allocate trade orders in a manner that is consistent with its duty to: (1) seek best execution of client orders; (2) treat all clients

------

fairly and equitably over time; and (3) not systematically advantage or disadvantage any single client or group of clients.

First Sentier Investors follows policies and procedures pursuant to which it may combine or aggregate purchase or sale orders for the same security for multiple client accounts (also known as a bunched order) so that the orders can be executed at the same time. First Sentier Investors aggregates orders when First Sentier Investors considers doing so appropriate and in the interests of its clients. First Sentier Investors' client accounts may be included in the aggregated orders.

When orders are aggregated, the orders may be placed with one or more brokers for execution. When a bunched order is filled, First Sentier Investors generally will allocate the securities purchased or proceeds of sale pro rata among the participating client accounts based on the pre-trade allocation. Adjustments or changes may be made under certain circumstances, such as to avoid small allocations or to satisfy cash flows and guidelines. If an order at a particular broker is filled at several different prices, through multiple trades, generally all participating client accounts will receive the average price.

Although allocating orders among First Sentier Investors clients may create potential conflicts of interest because First Sentier Investors may receive greater fees or overall compensation from some clients than received from other clients, allocation decisions will not be made based on such greater fees or compensation. When an investment opportunity is suitable for two or more clients, allocations will be made in a fair and equitable manner, and will take the following factors, among others, into consideration: the relative size of the client account, available cash for investment, investment objectives and restrictions, liquidity considerations, legal and regulatory restrictions, portfolio risk/return objectives, investment horizons, and client instruction.

In addition, all employees are subject to First Sentier Group's Global Personal Dealing Policy which contains the following requirements:

Employees must obtain prior approval before transacting in many security types. This includes listed single-stock securities and private placements.

Additional restrictions apply for Investment Team Members with funds management responsibilities.\*

Black-lists of securities are maintained. In all instances approval to transact in a particular 'reportable security' will be denied if it is black-listed.

\*Our Global Personal Dealing Policy prohibits Global Listed Infrastructure investment professionals from investing in their universe. While the Global Listed Infrastructure team are prohibited from investing in their universe, they are permitted to invest in the pooled unit trust.

## Ex-99.Code

#### JACKSON NATIONAL ASSET MANAGEMENT, LLC

#### Code of Ethics Pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

#### JNL Series Trust, JNL Investors Series Trust, Interval Funds

#### Last Revision Date: February 29, 2024
The Funds' Board has adopted this Code of Ethics ("SOX Code"), pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms of the SEC thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1. Persons to Whom this Code of Ethics Applies**

This SOX Code is applicable to each person who occupies the position of principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller or principal accounting officer of a Fund ("Covered Officers").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2. Relationship to Codes of Ethics Under Rule 17j-1**

Each of the Funds is subject to, and has adopted a code of ethics pursuant to, Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act ("17j-1 Code"). The Code is applicable to directors, officers and employees of a Fund, the Fund's investment adviser and, in the case of the Funds, those Funds' principal underwriter.

The 17j-1 Code imposes reporting and disclosure requirements on covered persons relating to their personal investment transactions in securities, as well as substantively regulate such transactions, as the Funds' Board has determined to be reasonably necessary in order to prevent fraud, deceit or manipulative practices by such persons in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by the person of a security held or to be acquired by a Fund.

The requirements of this SOX Code are in addition to, not in substitution for, the provisions of the 17j-1 Code that are applicable to Covered Officers to whom this SOX Code applies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3. Substantive Requirements**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a. Honest and ethical conduct, including ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships.**

It shall be the responsibility of each Covered Officer to comply with the reporting, disclosure and pre-approval requirements of the 17j-1 Code of the Funds as are applicable to personal securities investments of such Covered Officer. No personal securities investment transaction by a Covered Officer that complies with the procedural, reporting, disclosure and other provisions of the 17j-1 Code as may be applicable to such transaction, shall be deemed to be a violation or constitute a waiver of any requirement of this SOX Code .

------

No Covered Officer shall derive any personal<sup>1</sup> financial or other benefit of a substantial nature as a result of his or her position as the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller or principal accounting officer, as the case may be, through or from a Fund, or through or from any person or entity doing business or seeking to do business with a Fund, including, without limitation, gifts or gratuities (other than customary business gifts, meals or business entertainment that are not extravagant), preferred investment opportunities, or cash payments of any amount.

![](img_85c928f439fe4f6.jpg)

<sup>1</sup> For the purpose of this SOX Code, a "personal" benefit includes a benefit offered to or received by: a Covered Officer; a partnership in which the Covered Officer is a partner; a trust of which the Covered Officer is the grantor or beneficiary; a member of such Covered Officer's "immediate family," which includes the Covered Officer's spouse, a child residing in the Covered Officer's household (including a step or adoptive child), and any dependent of the Covered Officer as defined in section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code; a partnership in which any member of the Covered Officer's immediate family is a partner; or a trust for the benefit of any member of the Covered Officer's immediate family.

Any Covered Officer who shall, in his or her capacity as principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller or principal accounting officer, receive or be offered any personal financial or other benefit that is or may be proscribed by this SOX Code shall promptly report the matter to the Funds' Chief Legal Officer.<sup>2</sup> The Chief Legal Officer shall be, and hereby is, authorized to determine whether the receipt of such financial or other benefit is or would be proscribed by this SOX Code. If the Chief Legal Officer determines that the receipt of any such personal financial or other benefit is or would be proscribed by this SOX Code, then the Chief Legal Officer may direct that such benefit be refused or, if already received, that such benefit anonymously be donated to a charitable organization. Upon such donation, no violation of this SOX Code shall be deemed to have occurred by reason of the Covered Officer having received such personal financial or other benefit. The Chief Legal Officer's determination that the offer to or receipt by a Covered Officer of a benefit is not a violation of this SOX Code shall not be deemed a waiver of any provision of this SOX Code.

The Chief Legal Officer shall maintain a record of any reports of the receipt or offer of personal financial or other benefits submitted by Covered Officers, and the Chief Legal Officer's determinations and directions with respect to such reports. The Chief Legal Officer shall disclose to the Chief Compliance Officer any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict of interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b. Provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the Commission and in other public communications made by the Funds.**

------

Each Covered Officer is responsible for the full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by a Fund, insofar as such disclosure or communication relates to matters within the scope of such Covered Officer's responsibilities of office. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Covered Officer willfully shall cause or permit any such disclosure or communication regarding a matter within the scope of his or her responsibility to: misstate a material fact; or omit to state a material fact necessary to make any statement made in any such disclosure or communication, in light of the circumstances in which such statement is made, not misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**c. Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations.**

A Covered Officer promptly shall report to the Chief Legal Officer of the Funds any non-compliance or apparent non- compliance by a Fund with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations including, without limitation, federal securities laws, regarding any matter that is within the scope of office of such Covered Officer, and shall take such action, if any, as may be directed by the Chief Legal Officer with respect to the investigation or cure of such non-compliance or apparent non-compliance.

The responsibility of a Covered Officer pursuant to this SOX Code with respect to non-compliance or apparent non- compliance by a Fund with applicable governmental laws, rules or regulations shall be fully discharged upon such report to the Chief Legal Officer, unless such Covered Officer shall refuse or willfully fail to act as shall have been directed by the Chief Legal Officer in response to such report. The fact that a violation of applicable governmental laws, rules or regulations has, or may have, occurred shall not itself be deemed violation of this SOX Code. A determination by the Chief Legal Officer that a violation of applicable governmental laws, rules or regulations has, or has not, occurred shall not be deemed a waiver of any provision of this SOX Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**d. Prompt internal reporting of violations of this Code of Ethics.**

It is the responsibility of each Covered Person promptly to report to the Chief Legal Officer of the Funds any violation or apparent violation of this Code of Ethics by any Covered Person. The Chief Legal Officer shall maintain a record of the reports, if any, of violations or apparent violations of this Code of Ethics by any Covered Person.

The Chief Legal Officer shall determine, in response to any such report, whether or not a violation of this Code of Ethics has occurred and, in the event the Chief Legal Officer shall determine that a violation has occurred, shall report such violation to the Funds' Board to which such violation relates.

![](img_85c928f439fe4f6.jpg)

<sup>2</sup> References herein to the Chief Legal Officer of the Funds shall include a designee of the Chief Legal Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**e. Accountability for adherence to this Code of Ethics.**

Compliance with the requirements of this SOX Code is a condition of office of each Covered Officer. In the event of violation of the requirements of this Code of Ethics by a Covered Officer, the Funds' Board may take such action as it deems appropriate, including but not limited to removal from office with such Fund of the Covered Officer.

------

On an annual basis, each Covered Officer shall acknowledge in writing his or her receipt of a copy of this SOX Code and his or her agreement that adherence to this Code of Ethics is a condition of office.

------

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

*The undersigned, as [principal executive officer][[principal financial officer][controller][principal accounting officer] of the Funds, hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Funds' Code of Ethics pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.*

The undersigned further acknowledges [his][her] understanding and agreement that adherence to the requirements of the Code of Ethics is a condition of office with the Funds.
