(2) Other expenses and interest/dividend expense have been restated to reflect current expenses.

(3) Pursuant to an operating expense limitation agreement between Easterly Investment Partners LLC, the Fund's investment manager ("Easterly" or the "Adviser"), and the Fund, Easterly has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee and/or pay expenses of the Fund so that total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding front-end and contingent deferred sales loads, leverage, interest and tax expenses, dividends and interest on short positions, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger, reorganization or liquidation, extraordinary or non-routine expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses) for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 do not exceed 1.53%, 2.28%, 1.28%, and 0.89%, respectively.
