* The Adviser’s advisory fee has two components -- the base fee and the performance fee adjustment. The base fee is the pre-determined rate at which the Adviser is paid when the Fund’s net performance is in line with Fund’s pre-determined performance benchmark. The base fee is subject to an upward or downward adjustment by the performance fee. If the Fund outperforms the performance benchmark, the Adviser may receive an upward fee adjustment. If the Fund underperforms the performance benchmark, the Adviser may receive a downward fee adjustment. The Adviser’s annual base fee is 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The performance fee adjustment is derived by comparing the Fund’s performance over a rolling twelve-month period to its performance benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. The base fee is adjusted at a rate of 0.02% for every 0.25% to 0.50% of out-performance or under-performance compared to the performance benchmark, but only up to 2.00% of the performance benchmark. As a result, the maximum possible performance fee adjustment, up or down, to the base fee is 0.10%. Accordingly, the Adviser’s annual advisory fee may range from 0.65% to 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
