## Item

**Item G.1.b.iv.** 

**Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports**

Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act, as applied to the Fund, require the Fund's officers and Trustees, certain officers and directors of the investment advisers, affiliates of the investment advisers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of the Fund's outstanding securities to electronically file reports of ownership of the Fund's securities and changes in such ownership with the SEC.

Based solely on the Fund's review of such forms filed on EDGAR or written representations from Reporting Persons that all reportable transactions were reported, to the knowledge of the Fund, during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the filings required by the Exchange Act were made on timely basis, except that a Form 3 filing for the Fund was submitted late for Ruby Salter Henry, with respect to her appointment as Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund.

## Internal

## **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm** 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Wellington Global Multi-Strategy Fund

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Wellington Global Multi-Strategy Fund (the "Fund") as of and for the period ended October 31, 2025, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), we considered the Fund's internal control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-CEN, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting.

The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Adviser may, from time to time with Board approval, appoint one or more sub-advisers to perform investment advisory services with respect to the Fund (including without limitation those set forth in subparagraph "(a)" of this paragraph "2"), and may, in its sole discretion, terminate any or all such sub-advisers at any time to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser's authority to act on behalf of the Fund is limited to engaging in authorized trading on behalf of the Fund and transferring capital for purposes of authorized trading within the Fund only. All securities and other property of the Fund shall remain in the direct or indirect custody of the Fund's custodian, except as otherwise authorized by the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect the Adviser from its willful misfeasance, lack of good faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, the Adviser, each of its affiliates and all respective partners, members, directors, officers, trustees and employees and each person, if any, who within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Adviser ("Control Persons") shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law and shall not be subject to any expenses or liability to the Fund or any of the Fund's shareholders, in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates. Nothing herein in any way constitutes a waiver or limitation of any right of any person under any applicable federal or state securities laws of the United States of America.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and each of its directors, officers, trustees, employees and agents (each, a "Fund Indemnitee") against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses), to which such persons may become subject under the 1940 Act, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), the Advisers Act, the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, or any other statute, law, rule or regulation, arising out of the Adviser's responsibilities as investment manager of the Fund and its obligations hereunder (i) to the extent of, and as a result of, the willful misconduct, lack of good faith, or gross negligence, or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder, by the Adviser, any of the Adviser's affiliates or Control Persons or any affiliate of or any person acting on behalf of the Adviser, or (ii) to the extent of, and as a result of, a material breach of any representation or warranty by Adviser of this Agreement ; provided, however, that in no case shall the Adviser's indemnity hereunder be deemed to protect a person against any liability to which any such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misconduct, lack of good faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The parties agree that each Fund Indemnitee shall be a third-party beneficiary of the terms of this subparagraph "(f)". In no event shall Adviser or any of its affiliates be liable hereunder for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, speculative or punitive losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind, including loss of opportunity, loss of anticipated profits or savings and loss of goodwill or reputation. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Adviser or any officer thereof from acting as investment adviser for any other person, firm or corporation and shall not in any way limit or restrict the Adviser or any of its directors, officers or employees from buying, selling or trading any securities or other instruments for its own account or for the account of others for whom it or they may be acting, provided that such activities will not adversely affect or otherwise impair the performance by the Adviser of its duties and obligations under this Agreement and under the Advisers Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Adviser may utilize unaffiliated third-party data service providers in effecting compliance with applicable regulations, the Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information and any bone fide instructions from the Fund, and Adviser shall not be held responsible for any losses resulting from non-compliance where it has reasonably relied on information provided by reputable third-party data service providers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Fund agrees to each of the representations, warranties, and agreements set forth in Exhibit B (Master Agreements Representations) hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Fund will, from time to time, furnish or otherwise make available to the Adviser such financial reports, proxy statements and other information relating to the business and affairs of the Fund as the Adviser may reasonably require in order to discharge its duties and obligations hereunder. The Adviser shall, as agent, for the Fund, maintain the Fund's records required in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and required to be maintained under the 1940 Act. All such records so maintained shall be the property of the Fund and, upon request therefore, the Adviser shall surrender to the Fund such of the records so requested; provided that the Adviser may, at its own expense, make and retain copies of any such records.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Consistent with paragraph "5" hereof and Exhibit A hereto, the Adviser shall bear the cost of rendering the investment advisory and supervisory services to be performed by it under this Agreement, and shall, at its own expense, pay the compensation of the officers and employees, if any, of the Fund who are also directors, officers or employees of the Adviser.

A current copy of this document is available upon request. The Fund authorizes the Adviser to instruct the Custodian to forward promptly to the Adviser only copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to proxy votes involving securities held in the Fund (other than materials relating to legal proceedings). The Fund agrees that the Adviser will not be responsible or liable for failing to vote any proxies where it has not received the proxies or related shareholder communications in a timely manner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Adviser will notify the Fund of any additions to or withdrawals of partners of the Adviser within a reasonable time after such additions or withdrawals.

**4. Fund Expenses.**

The Fund shall reimburse the Adviser or its affiliates for any expenses of the Fund as may be reasonably incurred as specifically provided for in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any of the above expenses incurred by the Adviser or its affiliates on the Fund's behalf) or as specifically agreed to by the Board. The Adviser shall keep and supply to the Fund reasonable records of all such expenses.

**5. Compensation of the Adviser.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Adviser is authorized, subject to the supervision and oversight of the Board, to establish and maintain accounts on behalf of the Fund with, and place orders for the purchase and sale of the Fund's portfolio securities or other investments with or through, such persons, brokers or dealers, futures commission merchants or other counterparties ("brokers") as the Adviser may elect and negotiate commissions to be paid on such transactions; provided, however, that a broker affiliated with the Adviser shall be used only in transactions permissible under applicable laws, rules and regulations, including without limitation the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as well as permitted by the Policies adopted by the Fund. The Adviser, upon reasonable request of the Board, shall promptly provide the Board with copies of all agreements regarding brokerage arrangements related to the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On occasions when the Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of the Fund as well as other clients of the Adviser, the Adviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations (including without limitation any applicable exemptive orders or Commission guidance) and subject to the trade allocation procedures approved by the Board, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions or spreads and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of securities so sold or purchased, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Adviser in accordance with the approved procedures.

**EXHIBIT A**

**<u>Investment Management Fee</u>**

The Investment Management Fee is payable monthly in arrears and accrued daily upon the Fund's average daily net assets at an annual rate of 1.00% prior to any accrual of the Performance Fee and charge in respect of any Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense.

For purposes of the Investment Management Fee, "net assets" means total value of all assets of the Fund, less an amount equal to all accrued debts, liabilities and obligations of the Fund (including any Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the valuation and accounting policies and procedures of the Fund; provided that for purposes of determining the Investment Management Fee payable to the Adviser for any month, net assets will be calculated prior to any reduction for any fees and expenses of the Fund for that month, including, without limitation, the Investment Management Fee payable to the Adviser for that month.

The Investment Management Fee will be paid to the Adviser before giving effect to any repurchase of shares in the Fund effective as of that date and will decrease the net profits or increase the net losses of the Fund that are credited to shareholders.

**<u>Performance Fee</u>**

The Performance Fee is payable after the end of each fiscal year of the Fund. The Performance Fee is determined as of the end of the Fund's fiscal year in an amount equal to 20% of the amount by which the Fund's net profits (including unrealized net gains and losses on investments and any net profits attributable to investments in initial public offerings) for all Measurement Periods (as defined below) ending within or coterminous with the close of such fiscal year exceed the balance of the loss carryforward account (as described below). The Fund also pays the Adviser the Performance Fee in the event a Measurement Period is triggered in connection with a share repurchase offer by the Fund, as described below.

For purposes of calculating the Performance Fee, "net profits" means the amount by which: (a) the net assets of the Fund, as of the end of a Measurement Period, increased by the dollar amount of shares of the Fund repurchased during the Measurement Period (excluding shares to be repurchased as of the last day of the Measurement Period after determination of the Performance Fee) and by the amount of dividends and other distributions paid to shareholders during the Measurement Period and not reinvested in additional shares (excluding any dividends and other distributions to be paid as of the last day of the Measurement Period), exceeds (b) the net assets of the Fund as of the beginning of the Measurement Period, increased by the dollar amount of shares of the Fund issued during the Measurement Period (excluding any shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions paid by the Fund).

For purposes of calculating the Performance Fee, "net assets" means the total value of all assets of the Fund, less an amount equal to all accrued debts, liabilities and obligations of the Fund (including any Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the valuation and accounting policies and procedures of the Fund.

For purposes of calculating the Performance Fee, "Measurement Period" means each twelve-month period ending on the Fund's fiscal year-end (or such other period ending on the Fund's fiscal year-end in the event the Fund's fiscal year is changed), provided that whenever the Fund conducts a share repurchase offer, the period of time from the last Measurement Period-end through the effective date of the repurchase offer also constitutes a Measurement Period for purposes of calculating the Performance Fee (if any) on shares being tendered for repurchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

Upon termination of the Agreement, the Fund will pay the Performance Fee to the Adviser as if the date of effectiveness of such termination is the end of the Fund's fiscal year.

In the event that a Performance Fee is payable with respect to a Measurement Period that is not the Fund's fiscal year-end due to the Fund's share repurchases, the Performance Fee will be determined as if the end of such Measurement Period were the end of the Fund's fiscal year, and only that portion of the Performance Fee that is proportional to the Fund's assets paid in respect of such share repurchases (not taking into account any proceeds from any contemporaneous issuance of shares of the Fund, by reinvestment of dividends and other distributions or otherwise) will be paid to the Adviser for such Measurement Period.

The Performance Fee will be payable for a Measurement Period only if there is no positive balance in the Fund's loss carryforward account. For purposes of determining the Performance Fee, the parties will maintain a memorandum account (the loss carryforward account) that will have an initial balance of zero upon commencement of the Fund's operations and, thereafter, will be credited as of the end of each Measurement Period with the amount of any net loss of the Fund for that Measurement Period and will be debited with the amount of any net profits of the Fund for that Measurement Period, as applicable (provided, however, that the debiting of net profits may only reduce a positive balance in the loss carryforward account and may not reduce the balance of the loss carryforward account below zero).

The balance of the loss carryforward account, if any, shall be subject to a proportionate reduction as of the day following: (i) the payment by the Fund of any dividend or other distribution to shareholders (unless the full amount thereof is reinvested in shares of the Fund); and (ii) any repurchase by the Fund of its shares. The amount of such reduction shall be that percentage of the then current balance of the loss carryforward account determined by dividing: (i) the aggregate of the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to shareholders and not reinvested in shares of the Fund, and the dollar amount of any shares of the Fund repurchased, as of the day preceding the determination, by (ii) the net assets of the Fund on the day preceding the determination, prior to the reduction of net assets for the amount of such unreinvested dividends and other distributions and the dollar amount of shares repurchased.

**<u>Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense</u>**

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by taking varying positions in three principal strategies: equity long/short, macro and fixed income, and credit (each a "Principal Strategy"). Each Principal Strategy is comprised of one or more investment sub-strategies (each, an "Underlying Strategy") in which one or more investment professionals ("Trading Teams") contribute to the overall performance of the Fund's portfolio through the management of the Underlying Strategy. An Underlying Strategy may be comprised of a single or multiple accounts (each an "Allocable Account") managed by one or more members of the Trading Team.

The Fund will reimburse the Adviser out of the Fund's net assets for certain compensation-related expenses of the Adviser. The Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense reflects the sum of the cost payable to Trading Team personnel responsible for managing the Allocable Accounts (collectively, "Pass-Through Persons").

The Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense shall be calculated by aggregating the proportionate share of expenses of the Adviser attributable to the total amounts paid to Pass-Through Persons with respect to each Allocable Account (each such amount, a "Strategy-Specific Pass-Through Expense").

The Strategy-Specific Pass-Through Expense is determined as of the end of the Fund's fiscal year and calculated based on the amount by which the net profits of the Allocable Account (including unrealized net gains and losses on investments and any net profits attributable to investments in initial public offerings) for the twelve-month period ending on the Fund's fiscal year-end exceed the balance of the Allocable Account's loss carryforward account (as described below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

For purposes of calculating a Strategy-Specific Pass-Through Expense for an Allocable Account, "net profits" means the net of realized and unrealized gains and losses on the Allocable Account's investments (including profits and losses attributable to investments in initial public offerings), interest, dividends, taxes, fees and other expenses allocated to such Allocable Account, excluding Fund-level operating expenses.

For purposes of calculating a Strategy-Specific Pass-Through Expense for an Allocable Account, "Measurement Period" means each twelve-month period ending on the Fund's fiscal year-end (or such other period ending on the Fund's fiscal year-end in the event the Fund's fiscal year is changed). In connection with a share repurchase offer by the Fund, the accrued Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense is included in the calculation of the Fund's net asset value but will not be paid to the Adviser until the end of the Fund's fiscal year.

The Strategy-Specific Pass-Through Expense for an Allocable Account will be payable for a Measurement Period only if there is no positive balance in the Allocable Account's loss carryforward account. For purposes of determining the Strategy-Specific Pass-Through Expense for an Allocable Account, the parties will maintain a memorandum account (the Allocable Account's loss carryforward account) that will have an initial balance of zero upon commencement of the Allocable Account's operations and, thereafter, will be credited as of the end of each Measurement Period with the amount of any net loss of the Allocable Account for that Measurement Period and will be debited with the amount of any net profits of the Allocable Account for that Measurement Period, as applicable (provided, however, that the debiting of net profits may only reduce a positive balance in the loss carryforward account and may not reduce the balance of the loss carryforward account below zero).

The Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense shall be paid by the Fund directly to the Adviser as compensation for portfolio management services in addition to the Investment Management Fee and the Performance Fee. The Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense is accrued daily upon the Fund's average daily net assets. The Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense shall be invoiced by the Adviser to the Fund and payable by the Fund to the Adviser as an expense reimbursement annually. On a quarterly basis, the Board shall receive updates from the Adviser as to the actual amount of the Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense accrued to date. The actual amount of the Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense will depend on a number of factors depending upon the performance of each individual Trading Team. However, the Reimbursable Pass-Through Expense shall not exceed 3.50% of Fund average net assets.

\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

EXHIBIT B

MASTER AGREEMENTS REPRESENTATIONS

The Fund understands that the Adviser has negotiated master agreements and related documents (including custodial undertakings in relation to repurchase agreements) on behalf of its clients (each, a "Master Agreement"). The Master Agreements govern transactions in cleared and non-cleared derivatives, exchange-traded futures and options, foreign exchange (FX) forwards and options, and similar instruments, as well as certain security forward trades and repurchase transactions (collectively, "Transactions").

To become a party to these Agreements, the Fund must first confirm certain standard representations and terms set out below. The Fund recognizes that the provisions of the Master Agreements have been negotiated to benefit clients generally and cannot be amended through changes to this Exhibit.

This Attachment does not grant the Adviser any additional investment authority to engage in particular FX, derivative, repurchase or security forward transactions nor does it expand the scope of permitted investments under this Agreement or the investment guidelines contained in the Fund's registration statement.

Accordingly, by executing this Agreement, the Fund confirms to the Adviser that:

The Adviser has full authority as investment adviser to (i) engage in Transactions subject to applicable investment guidelines, including discretion to transact on swap execution facilities or similar trading venues and to engage in block trades, (ii) enter into Agreements on the Fund's behalf with counterparties and open accounts with trading venues and SEFs, (iii) provide relevant "know your customer" and other required information (which may include client account formation documents, tax forms, financial information (e.g., an account's assets under management) and investment management agreements (with fee information redacted) provided to a counterparty's legal and credit personnel on a confidential basis) and (iv) receive on the Fund's behalf required investment disclosures and other similar information from counterparties. With respect to Transactions, the Fund is not relying on the recommendations (if any) of any dealer or other counterparty.

The Fund further represents and warrants the following on behalf of each current and future account of the Fund managed by the Adviser pursuant to this Agreement:

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Adviser is authorized to use and disclose information concerning Transactions to meet applicable reporting requirements, including the reporting of information to a swap data repository, swap execution facility or a similar trading venue. To the extent that applicable non-disclosure, confidentiality, bank secrecy or other law imposes nondisclosure requirements on Transaction information otherwise required to be reported, but permits the Fund to waive those non-disclosure requirements by consent, the Fund hereby consents to waive those requirements to the extent permitted by applicable laws.

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Fund is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of the Fund's organization and, if relevant under such laws, in good standing. The Fund will have and will endeavor to maintain the necessary powers, consents, and licenses, and have taken all necessary actions to enable the Adviser, to lawfully execute and deliver Agreements, to engage in Transactions, to grant security interests in, or transfer title to, margin or collateral, and otherwise to perform the obligations relating to the Master Agreements. Such execution, delivery and performance do not and will not violate or conflict with any law, regulation or agreement applicable to the Fund, any provision of the Fund's constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to the Fund or its assets, or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Fund or its assets. Accordingly, the Master Agreements to which we become a party will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations upon the Fund, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws and principles of equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
