The Advisory Agreement permits the Adviser, subject to the approval of the Board, to delegate to one or more subadvisers (each, a ‘‘Sub-Adviser’’ and collectively, the ‘‘Sub-Advisers’’) the responsibility to provide the day-to-day portfolio investment management of each Subadvised Series, subject to the supervision and direction of the Adviser. The primary responsibility for managing the Subadvised Series will remain vested in the Adviser. The Adviser will hire, evaluate, allocate assets to and oversee the Sub-Advisers, including determining whether a SubAdviser should be terminated, at all times subject to the authority of the Board. 2. Applicants request an exemption to permit the Adviser, subject to Board approval, to hire certain Sub-Advisers pursuant to Sub-Advisory Agreements and materially amend existing SubAdvisory Agreements without obtaining the shareholder approval required under section 15(a) of the Act and rule 18f–2 under the Act.2 Applicants also seek an exemption from the Disclosure Requirements to permit a Subadvised Series to disclose (as both a dollar amount and a percentage of the Subadvised Series’ net assets): (a) The aggregate fees paid to the Adviser and any Affiliated Sub-Adviser; and (b) the aggregate fees paid to Sub-Advisers other than Affiliated Sub-Advisers (collectively, ‘‘Aggregate Fee Disclosure’’). For any Subadvised Series that employs an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, the Subadvised Series will provide separate disclosure of any fees paid to the Affiliated Sub-Adviser. 3. Applicants agree that any order granting the requested relief will be 1 Applicants request relief with respect to any existing and any future series of the Trust and any other registered open-end management company or series thereof that: (a) Is advised by Brinker or its successor or by a person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Brinker or its successor (each, also an ‘‘Adviser’’); (b) uses the manager of managers structure described in the application; and (c) complies with the terms and conditions of the application (each, a ‘‘Subadvised Series’’ and collectively, the ‘‘Subadvised Series’’). For purposes of the requested order, ‘‘successor’’ is limited to an entity that results from a reorganization into another jurisdiction or a change in the type of business organization. 2 The requested relief will not extend to any subadviser that is an affiliated person, as defined in section 2(a)(3) of the Act, of a Subadvised Series or the Adviser, other than by reason of serving as a sub-adviser to one or more of the Subadvised Series (‘‘Affiliated Sub-Adviser’’).

Such terms and conditions provide for, among other safeguards, appropriate disclosure to Subadvised Series shareholders and notification about sub-advisory changes and enhanced Board oversight to protect the interests of the Subadvised Series’ shareholders. 4. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that the Commission may exempt any person, security, or transaction or any class or classes of persons, securities, or transactions from any provisions of the Act, or any rule thereunder, if such relief is necessary or appropriate in the public interest and consistent with the protection of investors and purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the Act. Applicants believe that the requested relief meets this standard because, as further explained in the Application, the Advisory Agreements will remain subject to shareholder approval, while the role of the Sub-Advisers is substantially similar to that of individual portfolio managers, so that requiring shareholder approval of SubAdvisory Agreements would impose unnecessary delays and expenses on the Subadvised Series.

Summary of the Application

    1. The Adviser will serve as the investment adviser to the 
Subadvised Series pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the 
Trust (the

[[Page 11278]]

``Advisory Agreement'').\1\ The Adviser will provide the Subadvised 
Series with continuous and comprehensive investment management services 
subject to the supervision of, and policies established by, each 
Subadvised Series' board of trustees (``Board''). The Advisory 
Agreement permits the Adviser, subject to the approval of the Board, to 
delegate to one or more sub-advisers (each, a ``Sub-Adviser'' and 
collectively, the ``Sub-Advisers'') the responsibility to provide the 
day-to-day portfolio investment management of each Subadvised Series, 
subject to the supervision and direction of the Adviser. The primary 
responsibility for managing the Subadvised Series will remain vested in 
the Adviser. The Adviser will hire, evaluate, allocate assets to and 
oversee the Sub-Advisers, including determining whether a Sub-Adviser 
should be terminated, at all times subject to the authority of the 
Board.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Applicants request relief with respect to any existing and 
any future series of the Trust and any other registered open-end 
management company or series thereof that: (a) Is advised by Brinker 
or its successor or by a person controlling, controlled by, or under 
common control with Brinker or its successor (each, also an 
``Adviser''); (b) uses the manager of managers structure described 
in the application; and (c) complies with the terms and conditions 
of the application (each, a ``Subadvised Series'' and collectively, 
the ``Subadvised Series''). For purposes of the requested order, 
``successor'' is limited to an entity that results from a 
reorganization into another jurisdiction or a change in the type of 
business organization.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. Applicants request an exemption to permit the Adviser, subject 
to Board approval, to hire certain Sub-Advisers pursuant to Sub-
Advisory Agreements and materially amend existing Sub-Advisory 
Agreements without obtaining the shareholder approval required under 
section 15(a) of the Act and rule 18f-2 under the Act.\2\ Applicants 
also seek an exemption from the Disclosure Requirements to permit a 
Subadvised Series to disclose (as both a dollar amount and a percentage 
of the Subadvised Series' net assets): (a) The aggregate fees paid to 
the Adviser and any Affiliated Sub-Adviser; and (b) the aggregate fees 
paid to Sub-Advisers other than Affiliated Sub-Advisers (collectively, 
``Aggregate Fee Disclosure''). For any Subadvised Series that employs 
an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, the Subadvised Series will provide separate 
disclosure of any fees paid to the Affiliated Sub-Adviser.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The requested relief will not extend to any sub-adviser that 
is an affiliated person, as defined in section 2(a)(3) of the Act, 
of a Subadvised Series or the Adviser, other than by reason of 
serving as a sub-adviser to one or more of the Subadvised Series 
(``Affiliated Sub-Adviser'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. Applicants agree that any order granting the requested relief 
will be subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Application. 
Such terms and conditions provide for, among other safeguards, 
appropriate disclosure to Subadvised Series shareholders and 
notification about sub-advisory changes and enhanced Board oversight to 
protect the interests of the Subadvised Series' shareholders.
    4. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that the Commission may exempt 
any person, security, or transaction or any class or classes of 
persons, securities, or transactions from any provisions of the Act, or 
any rule thereunder, if such relief is necessary or appropriate in the 
public interest and consistent with the protection of investors and 
purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the Act. 
Applicants believe that the requested relief meets this standard 
because, as further explained in the Application, the Advisory 
Agreements will remain subject to shareholder approval, while the role 
of the Sub-Advisers is substantially similar to that of individual 
portfolio managers, so that requiring shareholder approval of Sub-
Advisory Agreements would impose unnecessary delays and expenses on the 
Subadvised Series. Applicants believe that the requested relief from 
the Disclosure Requirements meets this standard because it will improve 
the Adviser's ability to negotiate fees paid to the Sub-Advisers that 
are more advantageous for the Subadvised Series.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management, 
under delegated authority.

Assistant Secretary.
