WE NEED YOUR HELP
November 9, 2022
Dear Shareholder,
We need your help. Recently we sent to you proxy materials for the upcoming December 12th special meeting of shareholders of JOHCM Funds Trust. As an investor in one or more of the Funds, it is very important to the business of the Funds that we receive your proxy voting instructions. Our records indicate that we have not yet received your proxy voting instructions. We set up the voting methods listed below for your convenience.
PLEASE take a moment to cast your vote TODAY.
As discussed in more detail in the proxy statement sent to you via hard copy or e-delivery, you are being asked to consider and vote to approve the proposed new Investment Advisory Agreement (the “New Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and JOHCM (USA) (the “Adviser”). The New Agreement has been proposed in anticipation of change of control of the Adviser. This change of control and the New Agreement are not expected to result in any changes to a Fund’s investment objective and strategies, portfolio management personnel or fees and expenses. For these and other reasons, as are more fully described in the proxy statement, the Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal.
For more information, please refer to the proxy statement, which can be found at https://vote.proxyonline.com/johcm/docs/2022.pdf If you have any proxy related questions please call 1-800-814-4284 for assistance. Representatives are available Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time.
Voting your shares today will prevent the need to call you and solicit your voting instructions. We very much appreciate your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Weitz
President and Chief Executive Officer of JOHCM Funds Trust
