Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The hypothetical investment and the average annual total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund’s total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap:  U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds declined slightly for the 12 months ending June 30, 2017, a volatile stretch marked by early-period concern about global economic growth that gave way to investor optimism. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned -0.31% for the year. Bond yields began the period near an all-time low, shortly after the U.K.’s late-June 2016 “Brexit” vote to leave the European Union. Bond yields began to rise heading into the U.S. election – and rallied strongly thereafter, as many investors viewed then-President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda as stimulative and potentially inflationary. Yields also rode the U.S. Federal Reserve's December decision to raise policy interest rates. Bond yields then moderated in the first half of 2017, as it became clear that changes to tax, health care and fiscal policies would take time to develop and implement, and that the Fed intended to raise rates gradually through the rest of 2017. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate bonds led all major market segments, up 2.28%, while U.S. Treasuries returned -2.32%. Securitized sectors declined more moderately than did Treasuries. Outside the index, riskier, non-core fixed-income segments led the broader market, while Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) returned -0.63%.

Comments from Kevin Gaffney, Portfolio Manager of the North Carolina Capital Management Trust: Term Portfolio:  For the fiscal year, the fund returned 0.78%, net of fees, compared with 0.51% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 3-6 Month Treasury Bill Index. Yields for short-term investments advanced after reaching, just prior to the start of the period, a historically low level. We sought to provide a yield slightly higher than that of the North Carolina Management Trust: Government Portfolio while attempting to limit NAV (net asset value) volatility. The fund's heavy weighting in the commercial paper of financial institutions meaningfully outperformed U.S. Treasury investments for the period. We stayed conservatively positioned across the yield curve within financials. On average, a roughly 4% weighting in the commercial paper of industrial companies added modestly to the fund's relative performance. A 3% stake in government-related agency debt had negligible effect on the relative return. The fund did not hold Treasury investments this period, as we believed commercial paper offered us opportunities to outperform our Treasury-based benchmark. Yield-curve positioning also added value versus the index. For the entire period, the fund maintained a shorter-than-index duration – a measure of overall interest rate sensitivity – amid expectations for rising policy interest rates.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended June 30, 2017

1. Organization.

Government Portfolio (formerly Cash Portfolio) and Term Portfolio (the Funds) are funds of The North Carolina Capital Management Trust (the Trust). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the Trust are offered exclusively to local government and public authorities of the state of North Carolina. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds.

2. Significant Accounting Policies.

Each Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investments Companies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Term Portfolio's investments to the Fair Value Committee (the Committee) established by the Term Portfolio's investment adviser. In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Term Portfolio attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Term Portfolio's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Term Portfolio's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

Each Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
  • Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
  • Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

For the Term Portfolio, debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Commercial paper are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

For the Government Portfolio, as permitted by compliance with certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at its original cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a constant rate until maturity. Securities held by a money market fund are generally high quality and liquid; however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value are not quoted prices in an active market.

For the Term Portfolio, changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day for the Term Portfolio and trades executed through the end of the current business day for the Government Portfolio. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. The principal amount on inflation-indexed securities is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation and interest is accrued based on the principal amount. The adjustments to principal due to inflation are reflected as increases or decreases to Interest in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. The independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their annual fees under the Trustees' Deferred Compensation Plan ("the Plan"). Interest is accrued on amounts deferred under the Plan based on the prevailing 90 day Treasury Bill rate.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of June 30, 2017, each Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is each Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Term Portfolio files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Term Portfolio's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.

Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows for each Fund:

 Tax cost Gross unrealized appreciation Gross unrealized depreciation Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities 
Government Portfolio $4,738,646,991 $– $– $– 
Term Portfolio 2,792,187,455 307,518 (111,406) 196,112 

The tax-based components of distributable earnings as of period end were as follows for each Fund:

 Undistributed ordinary income Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments 
Government Portfolio $13,849 $– 
Term Portfolio – 196,112 

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

June 30, 2017  
 Ordinary Income 
Government Portfolio $21,618,727 
Term Portfolio 17,153,014 

June 30, 2016  
 Ordinary Income 
Government Portfolio $10,628,244 
Term Portfolio 4,697,996 

Repurchase Agreements. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Funds along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, are permitted to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Funds may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements may be collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Each applicable Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

Restricted Securities. The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendment requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes to the financial statements.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provides the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee based upon a graduated series of annual rates ranging between .195% and .275% of each Fund's average net assets. The investment adviser pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest expense. The management fee is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Funds to the independent Trustees. For the reporting period each Fund's annual management fee rate, expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets, was as follows:

Government Portfolio .23% 
Term Portfolio .25% 

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, each Fund has adopted a separate Distribution and Service plan. The Funds do not pay any fees for these services. The investment adviser pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, a Distribution and Service fee from the management fee paid by each fund based on a graduated series of rates ranging from .06% to .08% of each Fund's average net assets. For the period, the investment adviser paid FDC $2,505,404 and $987,919 on behalf of Government and Term Portfolios, respectively, all of which was paid to the Capital Management of the Carolinas LLC.

Interfund Trades. The Funds may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act.

4. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser or its affiliates voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of each Fund's management fee during the period. The amount of the waiver for each Fund was as follows:

Government Portfolio $2,820,704 
Term Portfolio 648,077 

5. Other.

The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of North Carolina Capital Management Trust and the Shareholders of Government Portfolio (formerly Cash Portfolio) and Term Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Government Portfolio and Term Portfolio (each a fund of North Carolina Capital Management Trust) (the "Funds") as of June 30, 2017, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any), and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance.  Each of the Trustees oversees two funds. 

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust.  Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the trust and the funds is referred to herein as an Independent Trustee.  Each Independent Trustee shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 75th birthday occurs.  Officers and Advisory Board Members hold office without limit in time, except that any officer or Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years. 

The fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Capital Management of the Carolinas, L.L.C. (CMC) at 1-800-222-3232.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Trustees. The Board of Trustees has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). With respect to the criteria for selecting Independent Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an interested person of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend regularly scheduled meetings during the year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective Independent Trustee in light of the funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting; and (x) understanding of the economy of North Carolina and the financing needs of North Carolina counties and municipalities. The Board may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Board finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as an Independent Trustee. The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Board of Trustees may also engage professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates with experience, qualifications, attributes and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. Additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments may be considered by a professional search firm and the Board of Trustees. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

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, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. 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 serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Thomas P. Hollowell is an Independent Trustee and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an independent Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders. In his capacity as Chairman, Mr. Hollowell (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees; and (ii) with management, prepares agendas for Board meetings. The Independent Trustees also meet regularly in executive session.

The Trustees oversee two funds that are offered exclusively to certain governmental entities of the State of North Carolina. The Trustees primarily operate as a full Board, but have also established one standing committee, the Audit Committee, to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks.  The Board has charged FMR and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above.  Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through FMR, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees.  Board oversight of different aspects of the funds' activities is exercised primarily through the full Board, but also through the Audit Committee.  The Operations Committee also worked and continues to work with FMR to enhance the stress tests required under SEC regulations for money market funds.  Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), FMR's internal auditor, the independent accountants, and the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board and Audit Committee, as appropriate.  The responsibilities of the Audit Committee, including its oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Audit Committee."

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

 Annualized Expense Ratio-A Beginning
Account Value
January 1, 2017 
Ending
Account Value
June 30, 2017 
Expenses Paid
During Period-B
January 1, 2017

Government Portfolio .18%

Hypothetical-C  $1,000.00 $1,023.90 $.90 
Term Portfolio .22%    
Actual  $1,000.00 $1,004.50 $1.09 
Hypothetical-C  $1,000.00 $1,023.70 $1.10 

 A Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.

 B Expenses are equal to each Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/ 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

 C 5% return per year before expenses


Distributions (Unaudited)

The fund hereby designates as capital gain dividend the amount noted below for the taxable year ended June 30, 2017, or, if subsequently determined to be different, the net capital gain of such year.

Term Portfolio $2,926 

The funds will notify shareholders in January 2018 of amounts for use in preparing 2017 income tax returns.

representations from PwC, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding its independence from the Funds and their related entities and FMRs review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.


Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 

The trusts Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds.  Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.


The trusts Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committees consideration of nonaudit services by the audit firms that audit the trust.  The policies and procedures require that any nonaudit service provided by a fund audit firm to the trust and any nonaudit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the trust (Covered Service) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Nonaudit services provided by a fund audit firm for a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the trust (NonCovered Service) are reported to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.

All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chairs absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee.  


Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation S-X (De Minimis Exception)


There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the Funds last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the Funds or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
