GENERAL INFORMATION

Why is a shareholder meeting being held?

The common shares of the Trust are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), which requires the Trust to hold an annual meeting of shareholders.

1 

What proposal will be voted on?

As described in more detail in this Proxy Statement, shareholders of the Trust are being asked to elect two Class I Trustees (the “Proposal”).

Will my vote make a difference?

Yes! Your vote is important and will make a difference in the governance of the Trust, no matter how many shares you own.

Who is asking for my vote?

How do I vote?

If you do not expect to be present at the Annual Meeting and wish to vote your shares, please vote your proxy in accordance with the instructions included on the enclosed proxy card. If your proxy is properly returned, shares represented by it will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions. However, if no instructions are specified on the proxy, the proxy will be voted “FOR” the Proposal and in accordance with the judgment of the persons appointed as proxies upon any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. Shareholders may revoke their proxy at any time prior to the time they are voted by delivering a subsequently dated proxy.

If you wish to vote your shares or revoke a previous proxy at the Annual Meeting, and you own your shares through a bank, broker-dealer or other third party intermediary who holds your shares of record, you must request a legal proxy from the bank, broker-dealer or other third party intermediary. Any previously executed proxy will be revoked, and your vote will not be counted unless you appear at the Annual Meeting and vote in person or legally appoint another proxy to vote on your behalf.

THE PROPOSAL: TO ELECT TRUSTEES

Who are the nominees for Trustee of the Trust?

The Trustees of the Trust are classified into three classes, as set forth below. The Trust’s Class I Trustees are currently standing for re-election.

Class I Trustees

Mr. T. Ritson Ferguson and Ms. Heidi Stam are the Class I Trustees. If re-elected at the Annual Meeting, it is currently anticipated that Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Stam will next stand for re-election at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders.

Class II Trustee

Mr. Asuka Nakahara is the Class II Trustee. It is currently anticipated that Mr. Nakahara will stand for re-election at the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders.

Class III Trustees

Mr. John R. Bartholdson and Ms. Leslie E. Greis are the Class III Trustees. It is currently anticipated that Ms. Greis will stand for re-election at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. Mr. Bartholdson has informed the Board that he intends to retire from the Board upon the conclusion of his term and, therefore, will not stand for re-election at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders.

Each Class I Trustee of the Trust (each, a “Nominee”) will hold office for three years or until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified. The other Trustees of the Trust will continue to serve under their current terms and are expected to be proposed for re-election at subsequent annual meetings of shareholders as indicated above. Each Nominee is currently a Trustee of the Trust. Unless authority is withheld, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the proxy “FOR” the election of each Nominee. Each Nominee has indicated that he or she has consented to serve as a Trustee if elected at the Annual Meeting. If a Nominee declines or otherwise becomes unavailable for election, however, the proxy confers discretionary power on the persons named therein to vote in favor of a substitute nominee or nominees.

3 

Certain information concerning the Trustees, including each Nominee, is set forth in the table below. Except as indicated in the table, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the last five years. The “interested” Trustee (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) is indicated by an asterisk (*). Independent Trustees are those who are not interested persons of the Trust or CBRE and comply with the definition of “independent” (as defined in Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (the “Independent Trustees”). Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Nakahara have each served as a Trustee since the Trust commenced operations on February 18, 2004. Mr. Bartholdson, Ms. Greis and Ms. Stam were appointed to the Board as of August 23, 2004, January 1, 2019 and June 1, 2020, respectively. Each Trustee is expected to serve a three-year term concurrent with the class of Trustees in which he or she serves. The business address of each Trustee is 555 East Lancaster Avenue, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087.

What are the Committees of the Board?

The Trustees have determined that the efficient conduct of the Trust’s affairs makes it desirable to delegate responsibility for certain specific matters to committees of the Board. The committees meet as often as necessary, either in conjunction with regular meetings of the Board or otherwise.

Audit Committee. The Trust has an Audit Committee, established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, composed of all of the Trust’s Independent Trustees who are “independent” as that term is defined in the NYSE’s listing standards pertaining to closed-end funds and as defined in the 1940 Act. The Audit Committee is charged with (i) oversight of the Trust’s financial statements and the independent audit thereof and (ii) selecting and evaluating a firm of independent accountants for the Trust and reviewing accounting matters with the accountants. The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.

The Audit Committee presents the following report:

The Audit Committee has performed the following functions: (i) the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Trust with management of the Trust; (ii) the Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standard No. 1301; (iii) the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and has discussed with the accountants

6 

the accountants’ independence; and (iv) the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees of the Trust that the financial statements be included in the Trust’s Annual Report for the past fiscal year.

Nominating Committee. The Trust has a Nominating Committee, which performs the functions set forth in the Trust’s Nominating Committee Charter. The Nominating Committee is composed of all of the Trust’s Independent Trustees. The Nominating Committee Charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B.

As part of its duties, the Nominating Committee nominates individuals for Independent Trustee membership on the Board. The Nominating Committee will consider trustee candidates recommended by shareholders. In considering candidates submitted by shareholders, the Nominating Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate.

The Nominating Committee may also take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held. To have a candidate considered by the Nominating Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing, which must include the following information:

• The name of the shareholder and evidence of the person’s ownership of shares of the Trust, including the number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership; and

• The name of the candidate, the candidate’s resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a trustee of the Trust and the nominee’s consent to be named as a trustee if selected by the Nominating Committee and nominated by the Board.

The shareholder recommendation and related information described above must be sent to the Trust’s Secretary, c/o the Adviser, at 555 East Lancaster Avenue, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087, and must be received by the Secretary no less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the Trust’s most recent annual meeting of shareholders. The Nominating Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a trustee of the Trust are that a candidate demonstrate, by significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful contribution to the Board’s oversight of the business and affairs of the Trust and have an impeccable record and reputation for honest and ethical conduct in both his or her professional and personal activities. In addition, the Nominating Committee examines a candidate’s specific experiences and skills, time availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of interest, independence from management and the Trust and other attributes described in the Nominating Committee Charter attached as Appendix B. The Nominating

7 

Committee also seeks to have the Board represent a diversity of backgrounds and experience. The Trust does not pay any third party a fee to assist in the process of identifying and evaluating candidates.

Does the Trust have a policy with respect to the attendance of Trustees at the Annual Meeting?

The Trust does not, as a matter of policy, require Trustees who are standing for election at an annual meeting to attend such annual meeting. The Independent Trustees did not attend the annual meeting of the Trust held on October 11, 2022.

How can shareholders send communications to the Board?

Shareholders and other interested parties may contact the Board or any member of the Board by mail. To communicate with the Board or any member of the Board, correspondence should be addressed to the Board or the Trustees with whom you wish to communicate by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent to the Secretary of the Trust at 555 East Lancaster Avenue, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087.

Do the Trustees own shares of the Trust?

The following table shows the dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by the Interested Trustee and each Independent Trustee as of June 30, 2023 or a more recent date. Dollar amount ranges disclosed are set forth as established by the SEC. “Beneficial ownership” is determined in accordance with Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Exchange Act.

What are the Trustees paid for their services?

Fees, salaries or other remuneration of officers of the Trust who also serve as officers or employees of the Adviser are borne by the Adviser. The Trust’s principal executive officers did not receive any compensation or expense reimbursement from the Trust for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The Trust reimburses all Trustees for expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board. The Trustees do not receive any pension or retirement benefits from the Trust.

What are the Trustees’ qualifications?

The Board has concluded that, based on each Trustee’s experience, qualifications, attributes and skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees, each Trustee is qualified and should continue to serve as such. In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria. In addition, the Board has taken into account the actual service, commitment and participation of each Trustee during his or her tenure in concluding that each Trustee should continue to serve. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board’s conclusion that the Trustee should continue to serve as a trustee of the Trust, is as follows:

The Board has concluded that Mr. Bartholdson should continue to serve as a Trustee because of his general financial acumen, including the experience he gained as the Chief Financial Officer of a publicly traded company. Mr. Bartholdson has substantial experience in and knowledge of public company accounting and auditing. Mr. Bartholdson has gained additional understanding of the Trust’s business by serving as a Trustee since 2004. Mr. Bartholdson has served as a trustee of other U.S.-registered investment companies, which provides him with additional perspective on operation and management of the Trust.

The Board has concluded that Mr. Ferguson should continue to serve as a Trustee because of the experience he has gained in establishing and leading the business of the Adviser. Mr. Ferguson founded the Adviser, along with Mr. Jarrett Kling and Mr. Ken Campbell, in 1991, currently serves as Independent Investment Committee Member, and was previously the Vice Chairman, Chief Executive and Co-Chief Investment Officer. Mr. Ferguson has substantial experience in the real estate investment management business and has gained additional understanding of the Trust’s business by serving as a Trustee since 2004.

The Board has concluded that Ms. Greis should continue to serve as a Trustee because of her background in real estate investment, including her industry experience as the founder and Chief Investment Officer of an independent

10 

investment management firm dedicated exclusively to investing in private real estate, and the experience she has gained serving as a Trustee since 2019.

The Board has concluded that Mr. Nakahara should continue to serve as a Trustee because of his background in real estate, including his academic and industry experience, his knowledge of the financial services industry and the experience he has gained serving as a Trustee since 2004.

The Board has concluded that Ms. Stam should continue to serve as a Trustee because of her significant experience as a managing executive and general counsel of a registered investment adviser, and as a senior staff member of the SEC, and the experience she has gained serving as a Trustee since 2020. Ms. Stam has substantial experience in and knowledge of the investment management industry, investment company regulation and operations, shareholder relations and fund governance which provides her with additional perspective on the operation and management of the Trust.

The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have the appropriate experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the Trust and protecting the interests of shareholders. Experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills common to all Trustees include the ability to critically review, evaluate and discuss information provided to them and to interact effectively with the other Trustees and with representatives of the Adviser, other service providers, legal counsel and the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm, the capacity to address financial and legal issues and exercise reasonable business judgment and a commitment to the representation of the interests of the Trust and its shareholders.

In its periodic assessment of the effectiveness of the Board, the Board considers the skills and experience of the individual Trustees in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition so that the Board, as a body, possesses the appropriate (and appropriately diverse) skills and experience to oversee the business of the Trust.

In the future, when the Board determines to add a new trustee or replace a departing Trustee, the Board intends to consider not only a candidate’s experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, but also whether the candidate’s background would add to the Board’s diversity.

*************************

Mr. Ferguson, the Chairman of the Board, is not an Independent Trustee. He previously served as the Trust’s President and Chief Executive Officer and currently serves as Independent Investment Committee Member of the Adviser. As Chairman, Mr. Ferguson’s duties include setting the agenda for each Board meeting in consultation with the Trust’s other officers (who are employed by the Adviser), as well as the Trust’s external legal counsel, counsel to the Independent Trustees,

11 

auditors and administrator. Mr. Ferguson also presides at each Board meeting, meets with the Trust’s other officers between Board meetings, and facilitates communication, coordination and an orderly and efficient flow of information and input among the Trustees, the Trust’s officers and other employees of the Adviser. The Trust has not appointed a Lead Independent Trustee. Mr. Bartholdson serves as Chairman of the Trust’s Audit Committee and is the Audit Committee Financial Expert. Mr. Nakahara serves as Chairman of the Trust’s Nominating Committee. The Trustees have determined that the Board’s leadership by Mr. Ferguson, as Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Bartholdson and Mr. Nakahara, as Chairman of the Audit Committee and Chairman of the Nominating Committee, respectively, is appropriate because they believe it appropriately reflects the relationships among the Trustees, the Adviser and the Trust’s other officers. The Trustees exercise their independent judgment in evaluating and managing the Trust’s relationship with the Adviser, as well as the performance of the Trust’s officers and other service providers.

What are the Trust’s Risk Management procedures?

The Trust is subject to investment, compliance and operational risks, among others. Like most investment companies, the day-to-day business of the Trust, including the management of risk, is performed by third party service providers, such as the Adviser and the Trust’s administrator. The Trustees are responsible for overseeing the Trust’s service providers and, accordingly, oversee their respective risk management practices, as applicable to the Trust. Each service provider has its own risk management practices, and its policies and methods of risk management may differ from the Trust’s in the setting of priorities, the resources available or the effectiveness of relevant controls.

The Adviser is responsible for the mitigation of investment risk within the parameters of the Trust’s investment objectives, strategies and guidelines. The Adviser provides a detailed report on investment performance at each quarterly Board meeting. Among other things, the Board also reviews information about the Trust’s investments, including portfolio holdings, investment performance and the factors impacting performance during the period.

Compliance risk derives from the failure (or perceived failure) to comply with laws, regulations or standards. Under the guidance of its Chief Compliance Officer, the Trust maintains a comprehensive compliance program designed to ensure compliance with laws applicable to its business, thereby mitigating compliance risk. The Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer reports regularly to the Board to review and discuss compliance issues and, at least annually, provides the Board with a report reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Trust’s policies and procedures and those of its service providers, including the Adviser and the Trust’s administrator. The report addresses the operation of the policies

12 

and procedures of the Trust and each service provider since the date of the last report; any material changes to the policies and procedures since the date of the last report; any recommendations for material changes to the policies and procedures; and any material compliance matters since the date of the last report.

The Trust’s administrator, transfer agent and custodian provide the Trust with reports detailing their respective operating controls and procedures. The Trust’s officers review those reports in the context of the Trust’s day-to-day operations, preparation of financial reports and compliance with applicable regulations. The officers provide the Board with summary reports relating to operational controls and procedures. The Trustees also receive reports directly from the administrator, relating to matters such as valuation, financial reporting and portfolio compliance, and from the custodian, relating to the Trust’s custody arrangements. The Adviser provides the Trustees with a written quarterly report on fair valuation.

Annually, the independent registered public accounting firm reviews with the Audit Committee its audit of the Trust’s financial statements, focusing on major areas of risk encountered by the Trust and noting any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Trust’s internal controls.

The Board recognizes that not all risks that may affect the Trust can be identified and/or quantified, that it may not be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve the Trust’s objectives, and that the processes, procedures and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness.

The holders of the Trust’s common shares will have equal voting rights (i.e., one vote per share), and will vote together as a single class with respect to the election of Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Stam. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of the Trust present at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary to approve the Proposal.

THE BOARD, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES,
UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
“FOR” THE PROPOSAL.

None of the hours expended on KPMG’s engagement to audit the Trust’s financial statements for the periods set forth above were attributable to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

Principal Shareholders

As of the Record Date, to the knowledge of the Trust, no person beneficially owned more than 5% of the voting securities of any class of securities of the Trust.

15 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act require the Trust’s officers and Trustees, certain officers of the Adviser, affiliated persons of the Adviser, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Trust’s shares to file certain reports of ownership (“Section 16 filings”) with the SEC and the NYSE. Based upon the Trust’s review of the copies of such forms effecting the Section 16 filings received by it, the Trust believes that for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, all filings applicable to such persons were completed and filed.

Deadline for Shareholder Proposals

Shareholder proposals intended for inclusion in the Trust’s proxy statement in connection with the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be received at the Trust’s principal executive offices by May 10, 2024. In order for proposals made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act to be considered “timely” within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, such proposals must be received by the Trust at the Trust’s principal executive offices not later than July 24, 2024.

Privacy Principles of the Trust

The Trust is committed to maintaining the privacy of shareholders and to safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following information is provided to help you understand what personal information the Trust collects, how the Trust protects that information and why, in certain cases, the Trust may share information with select other parties.

Generally, the Trust does not receive any non-public personal information relating to its shareholders, although certain non-public personal information of its shareholders may become available to the Trust. The Trust does not disclose any non-public personal information about its shareholders or former shareholders to anyone, except as permitted by law or as is necessary in order to service shareholder accounts (for example, to a transfer agent or third party administrator).

The Trust restricts access to non-public personal information about the shareholders to employees of the Adviser with a legitimate business need for the information. The Trust maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect the non-public personal information of its shareholders.

Voting

The Board has fixed the close of business on August 11, 2023 as the record date for the determination of shareholders of the Trust entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Shareholders of the Trust on that date will be entitled

16 

to one vote on each matter to be voted on by the Trust for each share held and a fractional vote with respect to fractional shares with no cumulative voting rights. The presence in person or by proxy of shareholders owning a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of the Trust present at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary to approve the Proposal.

In the event that a quorum of shareholders is not represented at the Annual Meeting, the meeting may be adjourned by a majority of the shareholders present in person or by proxy until a quorum exists. If there are insufficient votes to approve the Proposal, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Annual Meeting to permit additional time for the solicitation of proxies, in accordance with applicable law. Adjourned meetings must be held within a reasonable time after the date originally set for the meeting (but not more than six months beyond the originally scheduled meeting date). Solicitation of votes may continue to be made without any obligation to provide any additional notice of the adjournment provided that any adjourned meeting is held not later than 120 days after the record date. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment(s) in their discretion.

For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Annual Meeting, executed proxies marked as abstentions and broker “non-votes” (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present for quorum purposes but which have not been voted. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will effectively be a vote withholding authority to elect the Nominees.

The Annual Meeting is currently planned to take place at a physical location. However, due to ongoing concerns regarding COVID-19, the Trust is planning for the possibility that the Annual Meeting may be held virtually, by means of remote communication or via a live webcast, with the potential for virtual attendance. If the Trust takes this step, the Trust will publicly announce the decision in a press release that will also be filed with the SEC as definitive additional soliciting material, and the Trust will post the announcement and additional information on its website at www.cbreim.com/igr as soon as practicable before the Annual Meeting. The Trust recommends that you monitor this website for updated information, and please check this website in advance of the Annual Meeting to confirm the status of the Annual Meeting before planning to attend in person.

17 

Other Matters

No business other than the matter described above is expected to come before the Annual Meeting, but should any matter incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting or any question as to an adjournment of the Annual Meeting arise, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote thereon according to their best judgment in the interest of the Trust.

A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the offices of the Adviser, 555 East Lancaster Avenue, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours beginning ten days prior to the date of the Annual Meeting.

(b) a trustee whom the Board has determined does not have a material relationship with the Trust that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment.

Service by a trustee on the board of directors/trustees of any other public company (or companies) shall not be an impediment to the qualification of such trustee to serve on the Audit Committee unless the Board determines that such service will impair the ability of such trustee to serve effectively on the Audit Committee, or unless such service would otherwise render such trustee unable to meet the qualification standards set forth in this charter.

Each member of the Audit Committee must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Trust’s balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements. Further, at least one member of the Audit Committee must be determined to be an “audit committee financial expert” (as such term is defined in the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley) by the Board.

VI.   PRE-APPROVAL POLICY/PROCEDURES

All audit and non-audit services shall be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee to be provided to the Trust or, to the extent set forth in Section V of this charter, to its investment adviser and/or any Related Entity.

Requests for pre-approval of Covered Non-Audit Engagements should be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Independent Auditor and by the chief financial officer of the Related Entity for which the non-audit services are to be performed. Such requests should include a statement as to whether, in the view of the Independent Auditor and such officer, (a) the request is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and (b) the requested service is or is not a non-audit service prohibited by the SEC. A request submitted between scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee should state the reason that approval is being sought prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.

Between regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, the Committee Chairman or Audit Committee financial expert shall have the authority to pre-approve Covered Non-Audit Engagements, provided that fees associated with such engagement do not exceed $10,000 and the services to be provided do not involve provision of any of the following services by the Independent Auditor: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the audit client; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions; (vii) human resources; (vii) broker dealer, investment advisor or investment banking services; (ix) legal services; or (x) expert services unrelated to the audit.

VII.   REPORTING

The Audit Committee shall report its activities to the Board on a regular basis, so that the Board is kept informed of its activities on a current basis. In connection therewith, the Audit Committee will review with the Board any issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of the Trust’s financial statements, the Trust’s compliance with related legal or regulatory requirements, the performance and independence of the Independent Auditor, or the performance of the Trust’s internal audit function. In particular, the Audit Committee will also report to the Board its conclusions with respect to matters the Audit Committee considers to be of interest or the Board requests. Reports to the Board may take the form of an oral report by the chairperson of the Audit Committee or any other member of the Audit Committee designed by the Audit Committee to make this report.

The Audit Committee shall approve the “Audit Committee Statement” required by the rules of the SEC to be included in the Trust’s annual proxy statement and determine to its satisfaction that the Audit Committee has: (a) reviewed and

 A-9

discussed the audited financial statements with management of the Trust; (b) discussed with the Independent Auditor the matters required to be discussed under applicable PCOAB Standards; (c) received the written disclosures and the letter from the Independent Auditor required under applicable PCOAB Standards and have discussed with the Independent Auditor the auditor’s independence; and (d) made a recommendation to the Board as to whether the financial statements should be included in the Trust’s annual report for the past fiscal year, as filed with the SEC.

VIII.   RESOURCES

The Board shall ensure that the Audit Committee has adequate resources, as determined by the Audit Committee, with which to discharge its responsibilities, including for the payment of (a) compensation (i) to any firm of Independent Auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Trust, and (ii) to any advisors employed by the Audit Committee, including independent counsel, consultants or other advisors, as the Audit Committee determines necessary to carry out its duties, and (b) ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

IX.   LIMITS ON ROLE OF AUDIT COMMITTEE

The function of the Committee is oversight; it is management’s responsibility to maintain appropriate systems for accounting and internal control over financial reporting, and the Independent Auditor’s responsibility to plan and carry out a proper audit. Specifically, management is responsible for: (1) the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Trust’s financial statements; (2) the maintenance of appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies; and (3) the maintenance of internal controls over financial reporting and other procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and related laws and regulations. The Independent Auditor is responsible for planning and carrying out an audit consistent with applicable legal and professional standards and the terms of its engagement letter. Nothing in this Charter shall be construed to reduce the responsibilities or liabilities of the Trust’s service providers, including the Independent Auditor.

The review of the Trust’s financial statements by the Committee is not an audit, nor does the Committee’s review substitute for the responsibilities of management for preparing, or the Independent Auditor for auditing, the financial statements. Members of the Committee are not full-time employees of the Trust and, in serving on the Committee, are not, and do not hold themselves out to be, acting as accountants or auditors. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Committee or its members to conduct “field work” or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures.

 A-10

In discharging their duties, the members of the Committee are entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by: (1) one or more officers of the Trust whom the Committee members reasonably believe to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; (2) legal counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters the Committee member reasonably believes are within the person’s professional or expert competence; or (3) a Board committee of which the Committee member is not a member.

While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of the Independent Trustees, the Committee may accept Independent Trustee nominations from the investment advisor to the Fund and Fund shareholders, as it deems appropriate. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee may do so by submitting their recommendation with biographical information and a statement as to the qualifications of the proposed nominee to the Secretary of the Fund.

After a determination by the Committee that a person should be selected and nominated as an Independent Trustee, the Committee shall present its recommendation to the Board for its consideration.

In connection with the annual self-assessment, the Committee shall review the responsibilities of any committees of the Board, whether there is a continuing need for each committee, whether there is a need for additional committees of the Board, whether committees should be combined or reorganized and the membership and chairmanships of all committees of the Board. The Committee shall make recommendations for any action regarding the foregoing to the full Board.

Other Powers and Responsibilities

The Committee shall act by majority of its members present at a meeting at which at least half of its members are present or by written consent of a majority of its members.

The Committee is authorized to consult independent counsel and other service providers and to subscribe for or otherwise obtain information it considers useful in performing its responsibilities.

The Committee shall review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter on an annual basis and propose any changes for approval by the Board.
