Global Proxy Voting Policy

OUR PRINCIPLES AND PHILOSOPHY

CBRE Investment Management Listed Real Assets LLC (“CBREIM Listed Real Assets” or “we”) treats proxy voting as a fundamental responsibility of shareholders – one which can work to affect positive management behavior over time and therefore ultimately contribute to generating economic value to shareholders.

Proxy voting is an important right of shareholders, and reasonable care and diligence must be undertaken to ensure that such rights are properly and timely exercised. When CBREIM Listed Real Assets has discretion to vote the proxies of its clients, it will vote those proxies in accordance with this policy and procedures. The guidelines presented in this policy reflect a corporate governance structure that is responsive to company stakeholders and supportive of responsible investment goals.

For the accounts over which CBREIM Listed Real Assets maintains proxy voting authority, CBREIM Listed Real Assets will vote proxies in accordance with its proxy voting guidelines. CBREIM Listed Real Assets may, in certain circumstances, voluntarily adhere to guidelines established by its clients if doing so can be accomplished within the proxy voting process established with the proxy voting administrator. Otherwise, CBREIM Listed Real Assets will not accept proxy voting authority to the extent clients wish to impose voting guidelines different from those of CBREIM Listed Real Assets. As the responsibility for proxy voting is defined at the outset of the client relationship (and documented in the Investment Management Agreement), CBREIM Listed Real Assets does not anticipate any confusion on the part of its clients in this respect.

OUR PROCEDURES AND CONTROLS

PROXY VOTING ADMINISTRATION

CBREIM Listed Real Assets controls proxy voting for the majority of separate accounts under management, subject to limited exceptions; sub-advised funds may choose to handle their own voting.

CBREIM Listed Real Assets has engaged a third-party vendor, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), to provide proxy voting administration services, including the tracking of proxies received for clients, providing notice to CBREIM Listed Real Assets concerning dates votes are due, the actual casting of ballots, and recordkeeping. It is important to recognize that the ability of ISS and CBREIM Listed Real Assets to process proxy voting decisions in a timely manner is contingent in large part on the custodian banks holding securities for CBREIM Listed Real Assets clients. On a daily basis, CBREIM Listed Real Assets provides ISS with a list of securities held in each account over which CBREIM Listed Real Assets has voting authority.

While not the norm, in certain countries where share blocking is required, there may be times where CBREIM Listed Real Assets chooses not to vote. Share blocking entails selling the stock short for a period of time around the date of the vote. We may decide not to vote if in the in the best interest of our client to avoid failed trades or overdrafts, or to have shares be freely tradeable.

DETERMINATION OF VOTE

CBREIM Listed Real Assets established its own proxy voting guidelines and provides those guidelines to ISS. Proxy voting guidelines are reviewed and approved by our Head of ESG and Senior Global Portfolio Managers. The approved proxy voting guidelines are provided to ISS to facilitate the administrative processing proxy voting.

Voting decisions remain within the discretion of CBREIM Listed Real Assets. On a daily basis, CBREIM Listed Real Assets Securities Operations group reviews an online system maintained by ISS in order to monitor for upcoming votes. When a pending vote is identified, the Securities Operations team forwards the ballot to the appropriate Portfolio Manager or Investment Analyst for review, along with any supplemental information about the ballots provided by ISS and – if available – other research vendors to which CBREIM Listed Real Assets subscribes.

CBREIM Listed Real Assets Senior Investment Analysts review the proxy statement and determine the votes within the firm’s specified guidelines. If the Analyst’s indicated vote conflicts with CBREIM Listed Real Assets’ guidelines, the vote must be verified (with documented rationale) and approved by a designated Senior Portfolio Manager or our Head of ESG; the vote and corresponding rationale is also reviewed by our Chief Compliance Officer.

This proxy voting process is tested annually by external auditors to confirm that we have adequate procedures which are consistently applied.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

CBREIM Listed Real Assets will identify any conflicts that exist between the interests of CBREIM Listed Real Assets (including its employees and affiliates) and its clients as it relates to proxy voting. CBREIM Listed Real Assets obtains information from all employees regarding outside business activities and personal relationships with companies within the investable universe (such as serving as board members or executive officers of an issuer), to confirm that employees do not have personal interests in transactions, holdings, or proxy matters. Additionally, CBREIM Listed Real Assets will consider the conflicts associated with any ballot which identifies a relationship to CBRE Investment Management or another affiliate within CBRE Group. Lastly, CBREIM Listed Real Assets will consider any ballot which relates to a client of CBREIM Listed Real Assets as a potential conflict of interest.

If a material conflict is identified for a particular ballot, CBREIM Listed Real Assets will refer the ballot and conflict to the CBREIM Listed Real Assets Risk & Control Committee for review. In such situations, CBREIM Listed Real Assets will generally defer the vote either to the recommendation provided by ISS (not based on the CBREIM Listed Real Assets guidelines) or to the affected client(s) so that the client may determine its voting decision.

PROXY VOTING RECORDS

The proxy voting process is coordinated by the Securities Operations group and the Compliance team is responsible for oversight of and testing of the process. As noted above, ISS provides recordkeeping services, including retaining a copy of each proxy statement received and each vote cast. This information is available to CBREIM Listed Real Assets upon request.

CBREIM Listed Real Assets maintains files relating to its proxy voting procedures in an easily accessible place. Records are maintained and preserved for five years from the end of the fiscal year during which the last entry was made on a record, with records for the first two years kept on site. These files include:

• copies of the proxy voting policies and procedures and any amendments thereto,

• a copy of any document CBREIM Listed Real Assets created that was material to making a decision how to vote proxies or that memorializes that decision, and

• a copy of each written client request for information on how CBREIM Listed Real Assets voted such client’s proxies and a copy of any written response to any (written or oral) client request for information on how CBREIM Listed Real Assets voted its proxies.

Clients may contact the Compliance team at (610) 995-2500 to obtain a copy of these policies and procedures (and, if desired, the firm’s proxy voting guidelines) or to request information on the voting of such client’s proxies. A written response will list, with respect to each voted proxy that the client has inquired about:

• the name of the issuer,

• the proposal voted upon, and

• how CBREIM Listed Real Assets voted the client’s proxy.
