Employees of the Manager’s affiliates outside the US participate in the management of certain funds as “associated persons” of the Manager under the Manager’s oversight, in accordance with SEC guidance as to “participating affiliate” arrangements. These associated persons may, on behalf of the Manager, provide discretionary investment management services, trading, research and related services directly or indirectly to the Series.

Because everyone's tax situation is unique, you should consult your tax professional about federal, state, local, or foreign tax consequences before making an investment in, or redemption from, a Series or acting on a distribution check (if applicable).
