**Item 29. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund** 

Not applicable.

------

**Item 30. Indemnification** 

Article VII, Section 7.5 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of the Registrant, a Delaware statutory trust, provides for indemnification of the Trustees, officers and employees of the Registrant by the Registrant, subject to certain limitations. The Declaration of Trust is incorporated by reference to [Exhibit (a)](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1882879/000119312522080707/d58452dex99a2.htm).

Section 6 of the Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and Distributor provides that the Registrant will indemnify Distributor against certain liabilities, subject to certain conditions. A copy of the Distribution Agreement is incorporated by reference as [Exhibit (e)](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1479026/000119312515282875/d837615dex99e.htm), to the Registrant's Registration Statement.

Fund and trustees and officers liability policies purchased by the Registrant and other registered investment companies for which the trustees and officers serve as such insure such persons and their respective trustees, partners, officers and employees, subject to the policies' coverage limits and exclusions and varying deductibles, against loss resulting from claims by reason of any act, error, omission, misstatement, misleading statement, neglect or breach of duty.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
