SECTION 3. DUTIES OF THE ADVISER

Subject to the delegation of any of the following duties to one or more persons as permitted by Section 11 of this Agreement, the Adviser, at its own expense, shall render the following services to the Fund:

(a) The Adviser shall assume all investment duties and have full discretionary power and authority with respect to the investment of the assets of the Fund. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Adviser shall, with respect to the assets of the Fund: (i) obtain and evaluate such information and advice relating to the economy, securities markets, and securities and other investments as it deems necessary or useful to discharge its duties hereunder; (ii) continuously invest Fund assets in a manner reasonably consistent with the directions and policies set from time to time by the Board and any amendments thereto (“Board Policies”), the Organic Documents, the Prospectus, the Procedures (the Board Policies, the Organic Documents, the Prospectus, and the Procedures, collectively, the “Governing Documents”), and any other written guidelines or restrictions agreed to in writing by the Fund and the Adviser that are not inconsistent with the Governing Documents (the “Adviser Guidelines”), each as promptly provided to the Adviser by the Fund; (iii) determine the securities and other investments to be purchased, sold or otherwise disposed of and the timing of such purchases, sales and dispositions; (iv) consistent with the disclosure in the Prospectus, invest all or a portion of the Fund’s assets in unregistered investment funds (“Investment Funds”); (v) to the extent applicable, vote all proxies for securities and exercise all other voting rights with respect to such securities in accordance with such proxy voting policies and procedures approved by the Board; (vi) promptly issue settlement instructions to custodians designated by the Fund, where applicable; (vii) evaluate the credit worthiness of securities dealers, banks and other entities with which the Fund may engage in repurchase agreements and monitor the status of such agreements, where applicable; and (viii) take such further action, including, to the extent applicable, the placing of purchase and sale orders, selecting broker-dealers to execute, clear or settle such orders on behalf of the Fund, negotiating commission rates to be paid to broker-dealers, opening, maintaining and closing trading accounts in the name of the Fund, and executing for the Fund, as its agent and attorney-in-fact, standard dealer or institutional customer agreements with broker-dealers, each as the Adviser shall deem necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, to carry out its duties under this Agreement.

Subject to the supervision of the Board, the Adviser shall have full discretion and authority to enter into agreements with the Investment Funds to irrevocably forego the Fund’s right to vote its interests or shares of the Investment Funds.

3

(b) In effecting transactions on behalf of the Fund, to the extent that the Adviser uses a broker-dealer to effect a transaction, the Adviser’s primary consideration shall be to seek best execution, where applicable. In selecting broker-dealers to execute transactions (where applicable), the Adviser may take the following, among other things, into consideration: the best net price available; the reliability, integrity and financial condition of the broker-dealer; the size of and the difficulty in executing the order; and the full range of brokerage services offered by the broker-dealer. The execution price of a transaction may be less favorable than that available from another broker-dealer if the difference is reasonably justified by other aspects of the execution services offered.

Consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and applicable regulations and interpretations, the Adviser may allocate brokerage on behalf of the Fund to a broker-dealer who provide research services to the Fund and/or other accounts over which the Adviser or any of its affiliated persons exercise investment discretion. Subject to compliance with Section 28(e) and where applicable, the Adviser may cause the Fund to pay to a broker-dealer who provides research services a commission that exceeds the commission the Fund might have paid to a different broker-dealer for the same transaction if the Adviser determines, in good faith, that such amount of commission is reasonable in relationship to the value of such brokerage or research services provided viewed in terms of that particular transaction or the Adviser’s overall responsibilities to the Fund or its other advisory clients.

The Adviser may aggregate sales and purchase orders of the assets of the Fund, where applicable, with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts advised by the Adviser or its affiliated persons. Whenever aggregating sales and purchase orders of the Fund with similar orders for other accounts advised by the Adviser or its affiliates, the orders shall be allocated as to price and amount among all such accounts in a manner believed to be equitable to the Fund and such other accounts.

(c) The Adviser shall report to the Board at each meeting thereof as requested by the Board all material changes in the Fund since the prior report, and shall also keep the Board informed of important developments affecting the Fund and the Adviser, and on its own initiative, or as requested by the Board, shall furnish the Board from time to time with such information as the Adviser may believe appropriate for this purpose, whether concerning the individual investments comprising the Fund’s portfolio, including but not limited to the investments in Investment Funds, the performance of the Fund’s portfolio and the underlying Investment Funds, the investment strategies and holdings of the Investment Funds, or otherwise . The Adviser shall also furnish the Board with such available statistical and analytical information with respect to investments of the Fund, including but not limited to the underlying Investment Funds, as the Adviser may believe appropriate or as the Board reasonably may request. In providing investment advisory services pursuant to this Agreement, the Adviser shall comply with: (i) the Board Policies, the Organic Documents, the Fund’s objective, investment policies, and investment restrictions as set forth in the Prospectus, the Adviser Guidelines, and the Procedures, each as promptly provided to the Adviser by the Fund; (ii) the 1940 Act; (iii) the Advisers Act; (iv) the Securities Act; (v) the 1934 Act; (vi) the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and (vii) other applicable laws.

(f) The Adviser shall maintain the Compliance Manual that includes policies and procedures relating to the services it provides to the Fund that are reasonable designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act (“Federal Securities Laws”) as they relate to the Fund, and shall appoint persons to administer the policies and procedures who have the requisite level of skill and competence required to effectively discharge the administration of such policies and procedures.

(g) The Adviser shall provide the Trust’s chief compliance officer (the “Fund CCO”), upon reasonable request, with direct access to the Adviser’s chief compliance officer and, upon reasonable request, shall provide the Fund CCO, at its own expense, with information the Fund CCO reasonably believes is required to administer the Fund’s compliance program implemented pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act including, without limitation: (i) periodic reports/certifications regarding the Adviser’s compliance with the Federal Securities Laws and the Adviser’s compliance program as set forth in the Compliance Manual; and (ii) special reports in the event of any Material Compliance Matter (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act).

(j) The Adviser shall provide the Fund’s custodian and fund accountant, on each business day with such information relating to all transactions concerning the Fund’s assets and liabilities as the Fund’s custodian and fund accountant may reasonably require, including but not limited to information required to be provided under the Fund’s Valuation and NAV Error Correction Procedures, provided, however, the Adviser shall not be deemed to be the pricing agent for the Fund.

(k) Except as permitted by the Procedures, the Adviser shall not disclose and shall treat confidentially all information specifically relating to the Fund’s investments including, without limitation, the identification and market value or other pricing information of any and all portfolio securities or other investments held by the Fund, and any and all trades effected for the Fund (including past, pending and proposed trades).
