On a monthly basis, Gradient uses a topspan class="nobreak"-down/span price momentum methodology to determine which geographic equity market shows the strongest price momentum trend. Next, Gradient identifies which market subsector has the strongest price momentum trend within the selected geographic equity market to provide an investment instruction (span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;"i.e./span, a “strategy signal”) for which global equity market segment Penserra should invest on behalf of the Fund (if any), as represented by a Market Segment Index. A strong “momentum” view by Gradient indicates a belief that equity securities in the Market Segment Index are more likely than not to sustain movement in a positive direction, rather than change directions. This strategy determination, made by Gradient on behalf of the Fund, will be signaled to Penserra at the end of each month and, if applicable, the Fund’s portfolio will subsequently be adjusted by selling securities and investing in the underlying equity securities of the Market Segment Index that Gradient identifies as having the strongest price momentum trend. In the event that Gradient determines that all nine global equity market segments exhibit a significant and sustained price momentum decline such that none of the Market Segment Indices are expected to provide excess returns over the Samp;P Global BMI, the Fund will invest in a cash or cash equivalent position until a Market Segment Index with a positive price momentum returns is identified for investment./p p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"Penserra will manage the Fund’s investments in accordance with Gradient’s rulesspan class="nobreak"-based/span investment process.
