Portfolio positions typically are predicated on the evolution of investment themes the investment manager expects to materialize over a relevant timeframe, which in many cases contain contrarian or volatility focused components. Investment managers also may trade actively in developed and emerging markets, including equity markets, fixed income and interest rate markets, and/or currency markets, frequently employing spread trades to isolate differentials in current and expected values.

Sub-Adviser Proxy Voting Policy

Effective immediately, the following disclosure is added to Appendix A to the Statement of Additional Information:

Summary of Proxy Voting Policy for Fort Baker Capital Management LP

Fort Baker Capital Management LP (“Fort Baker” or the “Firm”), as a fiduciary of its Clients, must act to maximize the value of the accounts it manages. Under its fiduciary duties of care and loyalty the Firm must monitor corporate actions and act reasonably to vote proxies in the best interests of its Clients.

Rule 206(4)-6 under the Advisers Act requires that an adviser that exercises voting authority over client securities:

 

   

adopt and implement written proxy voting procedures reasonably designed to ensure that its voting is in the best interests of clients,

 

   

address in such policies and procedures how the adviser will manage any conflicts of interest that might otherwise affect its proxy voting decisions,

 

   

provide a summary of such procedures to clients, and

 

   

offer to provide the full procedures upon request and inform clients how they can obtain information about how their securities were voted.

Introduction

Rule 206(4)-6 of the Advisers Act (the “Proxy Rule”) requires a registered investment adviser that exercises voting authority with respect to client securities to: (i) adopt written policies reasonably designed to ensure that the investment adviser votes in the best interest of its clients and addresses how the investment adviser will deal with material conflicts of interest that may arise between the investment adviser and its clients; (ii) disclose to its clients information about such policies and procedures; and (iii) upon request provide information on how proxies were voted.


Corporate Action and Proxy Voting Policy

Fort Baker’s policy is to comply with the Proxy Rule and act solely in the best interest of the Client when exercising its voting authority. The Firm determines whether and how to vote corporate actions and proxies on a case-by-case basis and will apply the following guidelines, as applicable:

 

   

Attempt to consider all aspects of the vote that could affect the value of the issuer or that of the Client;

 

   

Vote in a manner that it believes is consistent with the Client’s stated objectives; and

 

   

Generally, vote in accordance with the recommendation of the issuing company’s management on routine and administrative matters, unless the Firm has a particular reason to vote to the contrary.

Conflicts of Interest

Fort Baker will not put its own interests ahead of those of any Client and will resolve any possible conflicts between its interests and those of the Client in favor of the Client. In the event that a potential conflict of interest arises, the Firm will vote on a case-by-case basis and undertake the following analysis.

A conflict of interest will be considered material to the extent that it is determined that the conflict has the potential to influence the Firm’s decision making in voting the proxy. If such a material conflict is deemed to exist, the Firm will refrain completely from exercising its discretion with respect to voting the proxy and will instead refer that vote to an outside service for its independent consideration. If it is determined that any such conflict or potential conflict is not material, the Firm may vote the proxy.

Voting Information and Recordkeeping

Under the Books and Records Rule, Fort Baker must retain: (i) its voting policies and procedures; (ii) corporate action and proxy statements received; (iii) records of votes cast; (iv) records of its Client’s requests for voting information; and (v) any documents prepared by the Firm that were material to making a decision on how to vote. All votes will be documented and maintained by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”).

Operating Procedures and Compliance Review

Fort Baker will vote proxies as it deems necessary or appropriate, on a case by case basis. Prior to voting, the CCO will make a determination as to whether a material conflict of interest exists and will either resolve the conflict or refer the proxy vote to an outside service for its independent consideration. The CCO will conduct a periodic review of the proxy voting records to ensure that proxies are properly voted and records are appropriately maintained.
