Subject: Vote now! ASPIRATION REDWOOD FUND Special Meeting
Dear Shareholder,
As you may have seen in the news, Aspiration is in the process of becoming a publicly-listed company. We’re taking this exciting step through an anticipated transaction of merging with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company, Interprivate III Financial Partners Inc. As part of this, you, as a shareholder of the Aspiration Redwood Fund, are being asked via the easy voting link below, to approve a new Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Aspiration Fund Adviser, LLC (“Adviser”) that will permit the Adviser to continue managing the Fund following the transaction.
The terms of the new Investment Advisory Agreement are substantially identical to those of the current Investment Advisory Agreement. No changes are proposed to the level of services that the Adviser currently provides to the Fund nor to the fees payable by the Fund (or you) for those services.
We set out to build a fund that democratized access to ESG investing. That means that instead of large institutional investors who can vote in mass amounts, our shares are all held directly by individuals. Because of this unique quality of our community, we really need you to participate in this vote in order to meet the required approval level. We are asking that you please vote your shares via the link below, so that we have enough participation to hold the December 17th Special Meeting of Shareholders as required by law. EVERY VOTE COUNTS.
TO VOTE: You can easily enter your voting instructions by clicking on the following link and following the on-screen instructions. THIS LINK WILL AUTOMATICALLY REGISTER YOUR UNIQUE CONTROL NUMBER TO VOTE:
