Material Conflicts of Interest
The Adviser seeks to identify all potential conflicts of interest applicable to its business that may affect its clients and to treat all clients and accounts fairly and equitably.

The Adviser provides investment related services to multiple client accounts.  In particular, the portfolio managers may manage both mutual funds or other “traditional” accounts and private funds or other accounts which may pay performance fees, may be beneficially owned, in whole or in part by the Adviser or its personnel, and/or may be able to utilize certain strategies (e.g., short selling) not available to mutual funds and other traditional accounts.  In those circumstances, the Adviser’s economic interests may conflict with its fiduciary duty to all accounts based on the fees and compensation paid by, or differential ownership interests in, such accounts.  The Adviser uses a non-preferential allocation system with allocations determined prior to orders being executed.  While the Adviser expects that it will perform its responsibilities in accordance with its fiduciary duties and not allow such conflicts to influence that performance, the Adviser recognizes the potential conflicts of interest associated with managing private funds and other accounts on one hand, and more traditional accounts, such as mutual funds, on the other.  In order to identify and mitigate such conflicts, the Adviser has adopted and maintains compliance policies and procedures and believes that these policies are, for the most part, sufficient to reasonably address such conflicts of interests.

Compensation
Mr. Gray is a principal of Orinda and as such is compensated with a fixed salary, participation in Orinda’s retirement plan and he also is an equity partner in Orinda. Mr. Rowe and Mr. Goltra are each compensated with a fixed salary, a discretionary bonus and participation in Orinda’s retirement plan. Mr. Goltra is also as an equity partner in Orinda.
