The fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee until at least December 31, 2024 so that the aggregate management fee retained by the Adviser with respect to the fund after payment of sub-advisory fees does not exceed 0.25% of the Fund’s average net assets. The Adviser also has contractually agreed to reduce the Fund’s fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund until at least  December 31, 2024 to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses after expense waiver and reimbursement (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads; brokerage fees and commissions; acquired fund fees and expenses; borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); taxes; and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) will not exceed 0.41% of average daily net assets of the Fund. This agreement may be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Trustees on 60 days’ written notice to the Adviser. This fee waiver/expense reimbursement is subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years on a rolling three year basis (within the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed) if such recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the foregoing expense limits.
