RISK DISCLOSURE. 11.1 VKAM's attention is drawn to Schedule 3 which provides important information as to the nature and risks of certain investments which may comprise the Fund and a description of certain provisions of the industry standard master agreements and their consequences. VKAM represents and warrants to the Local Manager that it has read, understood, and accepts the provisions of Schedule 3. Schedule 1 ORDER EXECUTION POLICY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT TRANSACTION EXECUTION ARRANGEMENTS Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Investment Management Limited ("MSIM") has established and implemented transaction execution arrangements that are designed to allow MSIM to take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible result when executing or placing orders as portfolio manager on behalf of its clients in relation to financial instruments that form part, or may become part, of one or more investment portfolios managed by MSIM for that or those clients (each a "TRANSACTION"). For the purposes of this document: any reference to MSIM "executing an order" is a reference to MSIM, as agent, entering into a Transaction on behalf of a client with another person that acts as principal to that Transaction, any reference to MSIM "placing an order" is a reference to MSIM, as agent, arranging for a Transaction to be entered into by another person that acts as agent on behalf of a client when entering into that Transaction, and any reference to MSIM "effecting a Transaction" is a reference to MSIM either placing or executing an order. As part of its transaction execution arrangements, MSIM has an order execution policy in place that is designed to ensure that MSIM complies with its duty to obtain the best possible result when effecting a Transaction for one or more clients (the "ORDER EXECUTION POLICY"). This document is intended to provide MSIM's clients with a summary of MSIM's Order Execution Policy. Nothing herein is intended to place upon MSIM fiduciary or other duties or responsibilities over and above the specific obligations provided for in the investment management agreement between MSIM and a client. THE QUALITY OF EXECUTION Where MSIM effects a Transaction for its professional clients, subject to any specific instructions received from a client, MSIM will determine the best possible result taking the following factors into account: (a) price; (b) costs; (c) speed; (d) likelihood of execution or settlement; (e) size of the Transaction; (f) nature of the Transaction; and (g) any other consideration relevant to the Transaction, including availability of liquidity, the impact on the market of the Transaction and MSIM's operational costs. Price is normally judged with reference to normal market size for the relevant financial instrument. Where trades are outside of normal market size and in sizeable volume or made on an over the counter basis, it is not generally possible to source a quote for price from Brokers because a declaration of intention to deal could result in market/security price sensitivity. As a result, MSIM must then determine what is likely to be the best execution venue without being able to get firm quotes, but there can be no guarantee that it will be. In certain circumstances, the relevant execution venue may not be able to provide sufficient immediately available liquidity to carry the contemplated Transaction out in full at the time required. In addition, other circumstances may dictate that the best immediately available price for a Transaction may not be the best possible result for that Transaction. Where, in MSIM's opinion, those circumstances occur MSIM may need to split the Transaction up into multiple Transactions with a view to obtaining the best possible result in relation to the original Transaction by completing that Transaction over a period of time using a variety of execution venues. MSIM will determine the relative importance of each factor using the following criteria: (a) the characteristics of VKAM; (b) the characteristics and nature of the Transaction, including whether any specific instructions are given by VKAM; (c) the characteristics of the financial instruments that are the subject of the Transaction; and (d) the characteristics of the execution venues to which the Transaction can be directed. While MSIM will take all reasonable steps, based on the resources available to it, to satisfy itself that it has processes in place that can reasonably be expected to lead to the delivery of the best possible result, MSIM does not guarantee that it will always be able to obtain the best possible result in relation to each Transaction.

As part of its transaction execution arrangements, MSIM has an order execution policy in place that is designed to ensure that MSIM complies with its duty to obtain the best possible result when effecting a Transaction for one or more clients (the "ORDER EXECUTION POLICY"). This document is intended to provide MSIM's clients with a summary of MSIM's Order Execution Policy. Nothing herein is intended to place upon MSIM fiduciary or other duties or responsibilities over and above the specific obligations provided for in the investment management agreement between MSIM and a client. THE QUALITY OF EXECUTION Where MSIM effects a Transaction for its professional clients, subject to any specific instructions received from a client, MSIM will determine the best possible result taking the following factors into account: (a) price; (b) costs; (c) speed; (d) likelihood of execution or settlement; (e) size of the Transaction; (f) nature of the Transaction; and (g) any other consideration relevant to the Transaction, including availability of liquidity, the impact on the market of the Transaction and MSIM's operational costs. Price is normally judged with reference to normal market size for the relevant financial instrument. Where trades are outside of normal market size and in sizeable volume or made on an over the counter basis, it is not generally possible to source a quote for price from Brokers because a declaration of intention to deal could result in market/security price sensitivity. As a result, MSIM must then determine what is likely to be the best execution venue without being able to get firm quotes, but there can be no guarantee that it will be. In certain circumstances, the relevant execution venue may not be able to provide sufficient immediately available liquidity to carry the contemplated Transaction out in full at the time required. In addition, other circumstances may dictate that the best immediately available price for a Transaction may not be the best possible result for that Transaction. Where, in MSIM's opinion, those circumstances occur MSIM may need to split the Transaction up into multiple Transactions with a view to obtaining the best possible result in relation to the original Transaction by completing that Transaction over a period of time using a variety of execution venues. MSIM will determine the relative importance of each factor using the following criteria: (a) the characteristics of VKAM; (b) the characteristics and nature of the Transaction, including whether any specific instructions are given by VKAM; (c) the characteristics of the financial instruments that are the subject of the Transaction; and (d) the characteristics of the execution venues to which the Transaction can be directed. While MSIM will take all reasonable steps, based on the resources available to it, to satisfy itself that it has processes in place that can reasonably be expected to lead to the delivery of the best possible result, MSIM does not guarantee that it will always be able to obtain the best possible result in relation to each Transaction.
