In evaluating investments for the Fund, the Sub-Adviser normally expects to take into account environmental, social, or governance ("ESG") factors, to determine whether any or all of those factors might have a significant effect on the performance, risks, or prospects of a company or issuer. The Sub-Adviser intends to rely primarily on third-party evaluations of a company's ESG standing and/or on factors identified through its proprietary research as material to a particular company or the industry in which it operates. The Sub-Adviser may give ESG factors equal consideration or may focus on one or more of those factors as it considers appropriate. The Sub-Adviser may consider specific ESG metrics or a company's progress or lack of progress toward meeting ESG targets. ESG factors will be only one consideration in the Sub- Adviser's evaluation of any potential investment, and the effect, if any, of ESG factors on the Sub-Adviser's decision whether to invest in any case will vary depending on the judgment of the Sub-Adviser.
