A. Policy
The Audit Committee will pre-approve any engagement of the independent auditors, including fees and compensation to be paid to the independent auditors, to provide any audit and any non-audit services to the Trust and any non-audit services to the Trust’s investment advisor and to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the Trust, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust, as provided in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee Chair shall have the authority to grant pre-approval and may delegate this authority to one or more Audit Committee members who are independent Trustees as defined in Section 10A(i) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All such delegated pre-approvals shall be reported to the Audit Committee no later than the next Audit Committee meeting.
Pre-Approval for services provided to the Trust other than audit, review or attest services is not required if: (1) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to the Trust constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Trust to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the Trust at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and are approved by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals had been delegated by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit.
