BOARD APPROVAL AND EVALUATION OF NEW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
At a telephonic meeting of the Board of Trustees held August 24, 2020 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees approved Bramshill Investments, LLC (“Bramshill”) to serve as the sub-adviser to the Fund. At the Meeting, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed the various factors relevant to its consideration of the sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Bramshill on behalf of the Fund (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), as well as the Board of Trustees’ legal responsibilities related to such consideration. After analysis and discussions of the factors identified
below, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term.
Bramshill Investments, LLC
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Bramshill to the Fund:
The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided or to be provided by Bramshill for the income strategies for the Fund, noting that there would be no changes. Counsel and a representative of the Adviser reviewed the responsibilities of TFIP’s investment personnel. The Board noted that TFIP provides quantitative research, security selection and trade execution for the income portion of the Fund’s as well as compliance services and procedures. Counsel further noted that TFIP had already been operating under the Bramshill compliance policies and procedures and thus there would be no changes in the compliance services provided by Bramshill to the Fund.
The Trustees noted that Bramshill has not reported any material compliance issues in the past 36 months. Counsel also indicated that Bramshill did not have any recent regulatory examinations or material litigation issues in the past 36 months. The Trustees concluded that, based on Bramshill’s experienced personnel and fixed income expertise, Bramshill has adequate investment resources available to provide subadvisory services to the Fund. The Trustees concluded that Bramshill was well-suited to provide the services as sub-adviser to the Fund.
Investment Performance of Bramshill:
Counsel then directed the Trustees attention to the investment performance information for Bramshill with respect to the Fund. The Trustees noted that performance was negative, lagging the Fund’s benchmark and the sub-adviser’s selected benchmark for the one-year period and was slightly better than the overall Fund. A representative of the Adviser reviewed the subadviser’s performance and stated that the Adviser was overall satisfied with the performance of the subadviser but would continue to monitor and evaluate its performance. After a discussion, the Trustees agreed that performance was not unreasonable.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to be Realized and Extent of Economies of Scale to be Realized:
The Trustees discussed the costs of services provided and to be provided by Bramshill to the Fund. The Trustees noted that Bramshill was expected to be profitable with respect to the Fund. Counsel directed the Trustees’ attention to the materials for Bramshill which indicated that Bramshill’s sub-advisory fee was favorable in comparison to fees it charges to other clients. The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fee to be paid to Bramshill by the Adviser were reasonable in light of the services to be provided under the sub-advisory agreement.
Conclusions: Having requested and received such information from Bramshill as the Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Trustees concluded that the fee structure is reasonable and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund.
INFORMATION REGARDING THE SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Sub-Advisory Agreement was approved by the Board of Trustees at the Meeting for an initial term of two years to commence on the date on which the Adviser allocates Fund assets to the sub-adviser for management. Thereafter, continuance of the Sub-Advisory Agreement will require annual approval by the Board of Trustees or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, and by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Sub-Advisory Agreement or interested persons of any such party. The Sub-Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty (i) by the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, by the Board of Trustees, by the Adviser or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, upon 60 days’ written notice to the sub-adviser, and (ii) by the sub-adviser upon 60 days’ written notice. The Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that it will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” within the meaning of the 1940 Act, except as otherwise provided by applicable law or the exemptive order.
The Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that Bramshill, among other duties, will make all investment decisions for the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to the sub-adviser as described in the Fund’s prospectus. The sub-adviser, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees and the Adviser, will conduct an ongoing program of investment, evaluation, and, if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to Bramshill. The sub-adviser also will perform certain other administrative and compliance-related functions in connection with the management of its allocated portion of the Fund’s assets.
The Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser will compensate the sub-adviser at an incremental rate based on the Fund’s average daily net assets allocated to the sub-adviser by the Adviser, payable monthly. The Adviser compensates the sub-advisers from the management fees that it receives from the Fund. Bramshill generally will pay all expenses it incurs in connection with its activities under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, other than the costs of the Fund’s portfolio securities and other investments.
