to oversight by the Board, to oversee the
Subadvisers and recommend their
hiring, termination, and replacement.
3. The Adviser will provide general
management services to each
Subadvised Fund, including overall
supervisory responsibility for the
general management and investment of
the Subadvised Fund’s assets, and,
subject to the review and approval by
the Board, the Adviser will (a) set a
Subadvised Fund’s overall investment
strategies, (b) evaluate, select, and
recommend Subadvisers to manage all
or a portion of the Subadvised Fund’s
assets, and (c) implement procedures
reasonably designed to ensure that the
Subadvisers comply with the
Subadvised Fund’s investment
objectives, policies and restrictions.
Subject to review by the Board, the
Adviser will (a) when appropriate,
allocate and reallocate the Subadvised
Fund’s assets among multiple
Subadvisers; and (b) monitor and
evaluate the performance of the
Subadvisers.
4. A Subadvised Fund will not make
any Ineligible Subadviser Changes
without the approval of the
shareholders of the applicable
Subadvised Fund.
5. Subadvised Funds will inform
shareholders of the hiring of a new
Subadviser within 90 days after the
hiring of the new Subadviser pursuant
to the Modified Notice and Access
Procedures.
6. At all times, at least a majority of
the Board will be Independent
Directors, and the selection and
nomination of new or additional
Independent Directors will be placed
within the discretion of the thenexisting Independent Directors.
7. Independent Legal Counsel, as
defined in rule 0–1(a)(16) under the Act,

such counsel will be within the
discretion of the then-existing
Independent Directors.
8. The Adviser will provide the
Board, no less frequently than quarterly,
with information about the profitability
of the Adviser on a per Subadvised

the impact on profitability of the hiring
or termination of any subadviser during
the applicable quarter.
9. Whenever a subadviser is hired or
terminated, the Adviser will provide the
Board with information showing the
expected impact on the profitability of
the Adviser.
10. Whenever a subadviser change is
proposed for a Subadvised Fund with
an Affiliated Subadviser or a WhollyOwned Sub-Adviser, the Board,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

including a majority of the Independent
Directors, will make a separate finding,
reflected in the Board minutes, that
such change is in the best interests of
the Subadvised Fund and its
shareholders, and does not involve a
conflict of interest from which the
Adviser or the Affiliated Subadviser or
Wholly-Owned Subadviser derives an
inappropriate advantage.
11. No Director or officer of the Trust,
the Corporation, a Subadvised Fund, or
partner, director or officer of the
Adviser, will own directly or indirectly
(other than through a pooled investment
vehicle that is not controlled by such

the Adviser or any entity, other than a
Wholly-Owned Subadviser, that
controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with the Adviser, or (b)
ownership of less than 1% of the
outstanding securities of any class of
equity or debt of any publicly traded
company that is either a Subadviser or
an entity that controls, is controlled by,
or under common control with a
Subadviser.
12. Each Subadvised Fund will
disclose in its registration statement the
Aggregate Fee Disclosure.
13. In the event the Commission
adopts a rule under the Act providing
substantially similar relief to that
requested in the application, the
requested order will expire on the
effective date of that rule.
14. Any new subadvisory agreement
or any amendment to a Subadvised
Fund’s existing Investment Advisory
Agreement or subadvisory agreement
that directly or indirectly results in an
increase in the aggregate advisory fee
rate payable by the Subadvised Fund
will be submitted to the Subadvised
Fund’s shareholders for approval.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Investment Management, under delegated
authority.

Deputy Secretary.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
CME is proposing to make certain
amendments to CME Rule 850. The text
of the proposed rule change is available
on CME’s Web site at https://
www.cmegroup.com, at the principal
office of CME, and at the Commission’s
Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
CME included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed
rule change. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. CME has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant
aspects of these statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
CME is registered as a derivatives
clearing organization with the
Commodity Futures Trading
Commission and currently offers
clearing services for many different
futures and swaps products. With this
filing, CME proposes to make certain
amendments to CME Rule 850. The
amendments relate to fees assessed
against clearing members. The revisions
would streamline Rule 850 by deleting
current text and including new language
that specifies that current information
concerning applicable fees and
transaction surcharges would be set
forth in the CME fee schedule and/or
CME Fee Policy Bulletins available on
CME’s Web site. Fee schedules and Fee
Policy Bulletins are updated on CME’s
Web site as a regular practice, as
applicable, when fee changes become
effective.
The proposed changes will become
effective immediately, however, CME
plans operationalize the proposed
changes on October 9, 2014. CME has
also certified the proposed rule change
that is the subject of this filing to the
Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (‘‘CFTC’’) in CFTC
Submission 14–102.
CME believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with the
requirements of the Exchange Act
including Section 17A of the Exchange
Act.5 The proposed changes would
5 15
U.S.C. 78q–1.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:22 Oct 21, 2014
Jkt 235001
streamline Rule 850 by deleting current
text and specifying that current
information concerning applicable fees
and transaction surcharges would be set
forth in the CME fee schedule and/or
CME Fee Policy Bulletins available on
CME’s Web site, which are updated as
a regular practice, as applicable, when
fee changes become effective. As such,
the proposed rule change would not add
new membership or fee requirements
but rather would streamline existing
rule text to refer to the already existing
CME fee schedule and/or CME Fee
Policy Bulletins, as applicable. Because
the proposed rule change would remove
content that is separately covered by
existing CME Fee Schedule and
applicable Fee Policy Bulletins
currently available on CME’s Web site,
the proposed administrative changes
would simply streamline the language
in CME Rule 850 without having the
effect of making any substantive
changes to existing rules. The proposed
changes should therefore be seen to
promote the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities
transactions and, to the extent
applicable, derivatives agreements,
contracts, and transactions, to assure the
safeguarding of securities and funds
which are in the custody or control of
CME or for which it is responsible, and,
in general, to protect investors and the
public interest in a way that is
consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of
the Exchange Act.6 Because these
proposed changes simply streamline the
language in CME Rule 850 without
making any substantive changes to
existing requirements, the proposed
changes are consistent with the
requirements of Section 17A of the
Exchange Act 7 and are properly filed
under Section 19(b)(3)(A) 8 and Rule
19b–4(f)(1) 9 thereunder.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
CME does not believe that the
proposed rule change will have any
impact, or impose any burden, on
competition. The revisions do not
impact current fee levels but rather
simply streamline current CME Rule
850 by deleting text and replacing it
with new language that makes clear
applicable fees and transaction
surcharges will be set forth in the CME
fee schedule and/or CME Fee Policy
Bulletins available on CME’s Web site.

Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants or Others
CME has not solicited, and does not
intend to solicit, comments regarding
this proposed rule change. CME has not
received any unsolicited written
comments from interested parties.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective upon filing pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) 10 of the Act and Rule 19b–
4(f)(1) 11 thereunder. At any time within
60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act.

The Exchange has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below,
of the most significant parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange seeks approval for its
100% direct parent, NYSE Group, and
its 100% indirect parent, NYSE
Holdings, to terminate the Trust
Agreement.4 NYSE Arca believes that
4 ICE, a public company listed on the New York
Stock Exchange, LLC (the ‘‘NYSE’’), owns 100% of
Intercontinental Exchange Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (‘‘ICE Holdings’’), which in
turn owns 100% of NYSE Holdings. Through ICE
Holdings, NYSE Holdings and NYSE Group, ICE
indirectly owns (1) 100% of the equity interest of
three registered national securities exchanges and
self-regulatory organizations (together, the ‘‘NYSE
Exchanges’’)—NYSE Arca, the NYSE and NYSE
MKT LLC (‘‘NYSE MKT’’)—and (2) 100% of the
equity interest of NYSE Market (DE), Inc. (‘‘NYSE
Market’’), NYSE Regulation, Inc. (‘‘NYSE
PO 00000
Frm 00111
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the regulatory considerations that led to
the implementation of the Trust
Agreement in 2007 are now moot as a
result of the sale by Intercontinental
Exchange, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(‘‘ICE’’), of Euronext N.V. (‘‘Euronext’’)
in June 2014 and certain changes in the
corporate governance of ICE, ICE
Holdings and NYSE Holdings that
occurred upon such sale.5
Background
In 2007, NYSE Group, which is the
100% owner of NYSE Arca, combined
with Euronext (the ‘‘Combination’’). The
new parent company formed in the
Combination, NYSE Euronext, operated
several regulated entities in the United
States and various jurisdictions in
Europe. In the Commission’s notice
relating to the proposed Combination,
NYSE Arca emphasized the importance
of continuing to regulate marketplaces
locally:
A core aspect of the structure of the
Combination is continued local regulation of
the marketplaces. Accordingly, the
Combination is premised on the notion that
. . . [c]ompanies listing their securities only
on markets operated by Euronext and its
subsidiaries will not become newly subject to
U.S. laws or regulation by the SEC as a result
of the Combination, and companies listing
their securities only on the Exchange or
NYSE Arca, will not become newly subject
to European rules or regulation as a result of
the Combination.6
In connection with obtaining
regulatory approval of the Combination,
NYSE Euronext implemented certain
special arrangements consisting of two
standby structures, one involving a
Dutch foundation (Stichting) and one
involving a Delaware trust. The Dutch
foundation was empowered to take
actions to mitigate the effects of any
material adverse change in U.S. law that
had an ‘‘extraterritorial’’ impact on nonU.S. issuers listed on Euronext markets,
non-U.S. financial services firms that
were members of Euronext markets or
holders of exchange licenses with
respect to the Euronext markets. The
Delaware trust was empowered to take
Regulation’’), NYSE Arca L.L.C., NYSE Arca
Equities, Inc. and NYSE Amex Options LLC. See
Exchange Act Release No. 70210 (August 15, 2013)
(SR–NYSE–2013–62) [sic], 78 FR 51758 (August 21,
2013) (approving proposed rule change relating to
a corporate transaction in which NYSE Euronext
will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
IntercontinentalExchange Group, Inc.).
5 The Exchange’s affiliates, the NYSE and NYSE
MKT, have also submitted the same proposed rule
change to terminate the Trust Agreement. See SR–
NYSEMKT–2014–83 and SR–NYSE–2014–53.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
CME is proposing to make certain amendments to CME Rule 850. The
text of the proposed rule change is available on CME's Web site at
https://www.cmegroup.com, at the principal office of CME, and at the
Commission's Public Reference Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, CME included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. CME has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant aspects of these statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
CME is registered as a derivatives clearing organization with the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission and currently offers clearing
services for many different futures and swaps products. With this
filing, CME proposes to make certain amendments to CME Rule 850. The
amendments relate to fees assessed against clearing members. The
revisions would streamline Rule 850 by deleting current text and
including new language that specifies that current information
concerning applicable fees and transaction surcharges would be set
forth in the CME fee schedule and/or CME Fee Policy Bulletins available
on CME's Web site. Fee schedules and Fee Policy Bulletins are updated
on CME's Web site as a regular practice, as applicable, when fee
changes become effective.
The proposed changes will become effective immediately, however,
CME plans operationalize the proposed changes on October 9, 2014. CME
has also certified the proposed rule change that is the subject of this
filing to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'') in CFTC
Submission 14-102.
CME believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Exchange Act including Section 17A of the Exchange
Act.\5\ The proposed changes would streamline Rule 850 by deleting
current text and specifying that current information concerning
applicable fees and transaction surcharges would be set forth in the
CME fee schedule and/or CME Fee Policy Bulletins available on CME's Web
site, which are updated as a regular practice, as applicable, when fee
changes become effective. As such, the proposed rule change would not
add new membership or fee requirements but rather would streamline
existing rule text to refer to the already existing CME fee schedule
and/or CME Fee Policy Bulletins, as applicable. Because the proposed
rule change would remove content that is separately covered by existing
CME Fee Schedule and applicable Fee Policy Bulletins currently
available on CME's Web site, the proposed administrative changes would
simply streamline the language in CME Rule 850 without having the
effect of making any substantive changes to existing rules. The
proposed changes should therefore be seen to promote the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and, to
the extent applicable, derivatives agreements, contracts, and
transactions, to assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which
are in the custody or control of CME or for which it is responsible,
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest in a way
that is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Exchange Act.\6\
Because these proposed changes simply streamline the language in CME
Rule 850 without making any substantive changes to existing
requirements, the proposed changes are consistent with the requirements
of Section 17A of the Exchange Act \7\ and are properly filed under
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) \9\ thereunder.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
CME does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
