• |
The stock and bond markets have had to adapt to a rising Fed Funds rate. The Federal Reserve (Fed) has started to tighten and is now even looking to reduce holdings on their balance sheet. Much of the stock advance in the last 9 years has come because of the support of the Federal Reserve.
|
• |
The market has digested the Presidential election and rallied strongly based on the hope of lower regulations and lower taxes. Hope may eventually run dry, but it has sustained the market since the election.
|
• |
Our economy, while underwhelming, has been stronger than most of the world and this strength attracts investors into the U.S. markets.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.
|
(1)
|
Pursuant to the registrant’s Audit Committee Charter (the “Charter”), the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, termination, compensation, and oversight of the work of any registered public accounting firm employed by the registrant. In addition, the Charter provides that the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving in advance any and all proposals under which the independent auditor would provide “permissible non-audit services” (as defined in the Charter) to the registrant or to the investment adviser to the registrant (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and that is sub-contracted or overseen by the investment adviser to the registrant) or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant if those permissible non-audit services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. In determining whether to pre-approve non-audit services, the Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the independent auditor’s independence.
