ON JULY 21, 2022, PURSUANT TO A SETTLEMENT, IN WHICH THE REGISTRANT NEITHER ADMITTED OR DENIED TO THE FINDINGS, THE SEC ISSUED AN
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER ("THE ORDER") THAT FOUND, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE REGISTRANT FAILED TO PROVIDE FULL AND FAIR DISCLOSURE

FOUND THAT THE REGISTRANT DID NOT FULFILL ITS DUTY OF CARE AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONFLICT. THE ORDER ALSO
FOUND THAT THE REGISTRANT HAD NOT ADOPTED AND IMPLEMENTED WRITTEN COMPLIANCE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES REASONABLY DESIGNED TO
PREVENT VIOLATIONS OF THE ADVISERS ACT AND THE RULES THEREUNDER IN CONNECTION WITH ITS MUTUAL FUND SELECTION PRACTICES IN ITS
WRAP PROGRAM AND THE RELATED DISCLOSURES OF ITS ASSOCIATED CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE ORDER INCLUDES FINDINGS THAT REGISTRANT
VIOLATED SECTION 206(2) OF THE ADVISERS ACT, AS WELL AS SECTION 206(4) OF THE ADVISERS ACT AND RULE 206(4)-7 THEREUNDER. THESE ARE
NOT SCIENTER-BASED VIOLATIONS. AS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT, THE REGISTRANT AGREED TO PAY A CIVIL PENALTY OF $5.8 MILLION, TO BE
DISBURSED TO AFFECTED INVESTORS, ALONG WITH OTHER UNDERTAKINGS. AS FURTHER HIGHLIGHTED IN THE ORDER, IN 2017 THE REGISTRANT
PROACTIVELY INSTITUTED A POLICY AS A REMEDIAL MEASURE THAT MITIGATED THE CONFLICT.
