Dear Shareholder:

A Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders of each of the funds listed above (the “Funds”) will be held on May 30, 2011 (“Joint Meeting”) for the purpose of electing Garrett D’Alessandro to serve as a member of the Board of each of the Funds.  The Board of Trustees of Rochdale Investment Trust (the “Trust”), along with the Boards of Managers (together with the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the “Boards”) of each of Rochdale Alternative Total Return Fund, LLC, Rochdale Core Alternative Strategies Fund, LLC, Rochdale Core Alternative Strategies Fund TEI, LLC, Rochdale Core Alternative Strategies Master Fund, LLC and Rochdale Structured Claims Fixed Income Fund, LLC have concluded that it would be appropriate for Mr. D’Alessandro to serve on each of the Boards and have nominated him for election to each Board.  Shareholders of each of the Funds are now being asked to vote for the election of Mr. D’Alessandro to each of the Boards.

Additionally, the shareholders of the Fixed Income Opportunities Portfolio (the “FIOP”) of the Trustwill be asked to approve a sub-advisory between Rochdale and GML Capital LLP (“GML”) with respect to FIOP under which GML will provide the recommended services.

While you are welcome to join us at the Joint Meeting, we anticipate that most shareholders will, by signing the Proxy Ballot Card enclosed with the Proxy Statement that accompanies this letter, instruct us to cast votes on their behalf.  Simply follow the instructions printed on the Proxy Ballot Card itself.  Even if you plan to attend the Joint meeting, we urge you to complete, sign and promptly return the enclosed Proxy Ballot Card.  This will save the expense associated with additional solicitations and help ensure that a quorum will be present at the meeting.

More information about Mr. D’Alessandro, GML and the terms of the Proposed New Sub-Advisory Agreement and the factors considered by the Boards in approving each of them is included in the enclosed proxy statement.  We have also prepared the brief Q & A Summary, which is attached to this letter for your convenience.

We urge you to read the accompanying materials carefully, to cast your vote “FOR” the proposals presented and to return your Proxy Ballot Card promptly.  If you have additional questions, we invite you to contact the Rochdale Funds toll-free at 1-800-245-9888.  As always, we appreciate your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

Rochdale Investment Management, LLC

Client’s Frequently Asked Questions

1.   Why is a new Board member for the Rochdale funds being proposed at this time?

Mr. D’Alessandro is Chief Executive Officer, President, Co-Chief Investment Officer, and Director of Research for Rochdale Investment Management.  Since inception, he has been an integral part of the development and management of all of the Rochdale Funds and currently serves as the President of each Fund.  Consequently, we believe that electing Mr. D’Alessandro as a Board member will be beneficial to shareholders.  Each Board has nominated Mr. D’Alessandro for membership and he will assume his Board responsibilities immediately upon election to each respective Board.

2.   Why is a new sub-advisor being proposed for the Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities Portfolio at this time?

Currently, day-to-day investment decisions are the responsibility of Rochdale and two sub-advisors, Seix Investment Advisors, LLC (“Seix”) and Federated Investment Management Company (“Federated”), which both adhere to distinct investment styles.  When Rochdale set forth the investment scope of the fund, it was identified as the Rochdale Fixed Income “Opportunities” Portfolio. The goal was to enable our shareholders to seek out and capture value across any and all fixed income areas that we believe are beneficial to the overall value of the Fund.

We are confident that the addition of GML Capital LLP (“GML”) is in the best long-term interest of the shareholders and will provide opportunity for additional access to various fixed income securities, including emerging market (EM) high yield (HY) fixed income instruments.

3.   Why was GML selected as the 3rd sub-advisor for the Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities Portfolio?

Since their establishment in London in 1983, GML has been specializing in originating and structuring transactions and managing credit portfolios in emerging markets.  Their Investment Team consists of 9 professionals with an average of more than 16 years investment experience, spanning various economic cycles and financial crises. Their approach to investing in Emerging High Yield is based on sound fundamental knowledge of each company.

GML has a network of offices in emerging countries, providing “on-the ground” insights and a research process that can identify investments unavailable to most investment funds.  Under close supervision of GML’s London investment professionals, GML’s overseas emerging market offices help to source, analyze and monitor investments, provide market intelligence, conduct due diligence on counterparties, and cultivate local relationships.

Additionally, Rochdale has been working with GML since 2009 with respect to the Rochdale GML Trade Finance Fund Ltd.  The partnership between Rochdale and GML has worked well, the investment returns are very good, and our two companies act cohesively. GML brings diversification to FIOF, which will be beneficial to the shareholders.

Q. Why is it appropriate to add EM HY fixed income instruments to the Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities Portfolio?

A.         There are several factors involved in our recommendation:

2

§   US and other developed market investors remain underweight EM credit exposure relative to the distribution of global GDP, and EM credit investments add additional return and will bring diversification to FIOF.

§   Accordingly, adding EM credits will capture a secular, multi-year trend for EM credit that should over time bring strong returns to FIOF shareholders.

§   EM sovereign and corporate credit quality is expected to continually improve over the coming years.

§   The investable universe for EM credit has expanded dramatically in the last several years.

§   Continually broadening EM credit investor base has improved EM credit liquidity conditions.

Q. What is, in Rochdale’s view, the expected Risk/Return impact on the Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities Portfolio from adding EM HY fixed income instruments?

A. Rochdale’s view on the expected Risk/Return is based its view that:

§   Over relevant periods, EM HY credit has higher returns than US HY credit with comparable ratings.

§   Default rates will be somewhat higher than in the US HY space.

§   Correlations between EM HY credit and US HY credit are not that high.

§   The expanding EM credit universe provides ample opportunities for investment selection.

§   Due to the sovereign credit there is additional yield available for certain EM corporate issuers due to the “sovereign ceiling” policies of the credit rating agencies.

§   Higher absolute and risk-adjusted returns are expected.

§   Greater issuer, industry and geographical diversification (and greater exposure to much higher-growth parts of the world)

§   Higher volatility

§   Higher expected default rate, however, higher yield more than offsets the somewhat higher default rates expected to provide a net of defaults higher return.

Q. WILL THE EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH MY INVESTMENT IN THE ROCHDALE FIXED INCOME OPPORTUNITY PORTFOLIO INCREASE IF THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT IS IMPLEMENTED?

A. Under the terms of the proposed sub-advisory agreement between Rochdale and GML, GML would be paid for its services by Rochdale.  The expenses associated with an investment in FIOP would not be changed.

Q. IF THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT WITH GML IS APPROVED BY SHAREHOLDERS, WHEN WILL IT BECOME EFFECTIVE?

A. If approved, the agreement will become effective as soon as reasonably practical following the date on which shareholder approval of the agreement is obtained.

Governance Matters.  The Board members’ overall responsibility for identifying and overseeing the operational, business and investment risks inherent in the operation of each of the ss is handled by each Rochdale Fund’s Board as a whole and by each Board’s Audit Committee, particularly with respect to valuation and accounting matters.  To assist them in carrying out their oversight responsibilities, the Board Members receive, in connection with each Board’s regular quarterly meetings, regular reports from each Rochdale Fund’s Administrator with respect to portfolio compliance, fund accounting matters and matters relating to the computation of each Rochdale Fund’s net asset value per share.  The Board members also receive reports, at least quarterly, from each Rochdale Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer or “CCO.”  These reports, together with presentations provided to each Board at its regular meetings, are designed to keep the Boards informed with respect to the effectiveness of each Rochdale Fund’s overall compliance program including compliance with stated investment strategies, and to help ensure that the occurrence of any event or circumstance that may have a material adverse effect on a Rochdale Fund are brought promptly to the attention of its Board and that appropriate action is taken to mitigate any such adverse effect.  Additionally, each full Board annually receives a report from its respective Rochdale Fund’s CCO and each full Board (and, at the discretion of the Independent Board Members, the Independent Board Members separately) meets with each Rochdale Fund’s CCO for the purpose of discussing the extent to which such Rochdale Fund’s overall compliance program is reasonably designed to detect and prevent violations of the federal securities laws and assessing the effectiveness of such overall compliance program.  Additionally, each Board, and each Audit Committee (or Audit Committee Chair) meet at least annually with their respective Rochdale Fund’s independent public accounting firm.  The overall small size of the Boards assures significant participation by every Board member, so that no separate role for a “lead” Independent Board Member has been deemed necessary for any of the Boards.  Shareholders can contact the Boards or individual Board Members by sending communications to their attention at 570 Lexington Ave., New York, NY, 10022.

The three Independent Board Members identified in the tables above have served together on the Boards of Rochdale Funds for 7 years.  Taken as a whole, each Board represents a broad range of business and investment experience, as well as professional skills.  Mr. Acebes is the founder and Chief Investment Officer of Rochdale Investment Management and has over 40 years of experience in the investment management field as an analyst, portfolio manager, chief investment officer and chief executive officer.  Mr. Baretge has extensive international business experience in the United States, Europe and the West Indies, including serving as the President of an international luxury goods distribution company for over 25 years.  Mr. Roland, who was a certified public accountant, has more than 30 years of experience in the securities industry including service as a Chief Financial Officer.  Mr. Volpe, who was a certified public accountant, has 50 years of experience in the financial services field, including prior service as a director for several businesses and one other investment company.

Committees of the Board.  The Trust Board has established one standing committee of the Board, an Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee is responsible for advising the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial matters affecting the Trust, and meets at least once annually. The three Independent Board Members comprise the Audit Committee.

The Trust Board has not established any other standing committees of the Board, but has committed responsibility for the nomination of candidates for election to the Board to the Independent Trustees at this time.  When evaluating individuals for recommendation for Board membership, the Independent Trustees consider the candidate’s knowledge of the mutual fund industry, educational background and experience and the extent to which such experience and background would enable the Board to maintain a diverse mix of skills and qualifications. The Independent Trustees will consider persons submitted by security holders for nomination to the Board.  Recommendations for consideration by the Independent Trustees should be sent to the Secretary of the Trust in writing, together with appropriate biographical information concerning each such proposed nominee, at the principal executive office of the Trust.

10 of 41

Each of the RATR, RCAS, RCAS TEI, RCAS Master and RSCFIF Boards has established the following standing committees:

Audit Committee.  Each Audit Committee is responsible for advising its respective full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial matters affecting the Fund, and meets at least once annually. The three Independent Board Members comprise each Audit Committee, each of which operates in accordance with an Audit Committee Charter.  In accordance with the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for the review of the audited financial statements, oversight of independent auditors with respect to, among other things, matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended; and the review and approval of the engagement of independent auditors. The Audit Committee is also responsible for review and approval of any engagement (with limited exceptions) pursuant to which the independent public accountant is employed to render “permissible non-audit services.” to a Fund.

Nominating Committee.  Each Nominating Committee is responsible for seeking and reviewing candidates for consideration as nominees for Board membership as is considered necessary from time to time and meets only as necessary.  When evaluating individuals for recommendation for Board membership, the Independent Board Members consider the candidate’s knowledge of the investment company industry, educational background and experience and the extent to which such experience and background would enable the Board to maintain a diverse mix of skills and qualifications.  None of the Nominating Committees has held any meetings during the last fiscal year, but each met in April 2011 in conjunction with the nomination of Mr. D’Alessandro to each of the Boards and related matters.  Each Board’s three Independent Board Members comprise the Nominating Committee for that Board.  Shareholder recommendations with respect to nominations to the Board that are received by the Trust at least 90 days before the date of any shareholder meeting held will be considered by the Nominating Committee.

PROPOSAL 2

Approval of Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement Between

Rochdale Investment Management, LLC and GML Capital, LLP

Relating to the Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities Portfolio (the “FIOP”)

Summary and Introduction.

Since the commencement of the operations of the Fixed Income Opportunities Portfolio of the Trust (“FIOP” or the “Portfolio”) Rochdale Investment Management, LLC (“Rochdale” or the “Advisor”) has served as the Portfolio’s primary investment adviser.  Under Rochdale’s supervision and pursuant to the terms of separate subadvisory agreements, Seix investment Advisers, LLC (“Seix”) and Federated Investment Management Company (“Federated”) provide day-to-day portfolio management to the Portfolio.

Rochdale determined that it would be appropriate to supplement the team of subadvisers that currently serve FIOP.  Rochdale’s recommendation is based upon its view that, at this time, it is appropriate for FIOP to include access to various sub-asset classes of fixed income securities including international bonds.  Accordingly, in April, 2011, Rochdale recommended to the Trust’s Board that GML Capital, LLP (“GML”) be engaged as an additional subadviser for FIOP.  Additional information about GML is set forth below under the heading “Management of the Trust.”

At a special meeting held on April 19, 2011, the Trustees, including a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), approved Rochdale’s recommendation, as well as a proposed investment sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and GML relating to the Portfolio (“Proposed Subadvisory Agreement”).  .In approving the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement, the Board noted that ther terms of the  Proposed Subadvisory Agreement provide that GML’s fee will be paid by the Advisor and, for this reason, that implementation of the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement would not effect the overall advisory fees paid by FIOP.  Except for terms relating to fees, the operative terms and conditions of the proposed portfolio management agreement are substantially the same as the terms and conditions of agreements with FIOP’s other sub-advisors.  A copy of the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement appears at Appendix A to the Proxy Statement.

If the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement is approved by the Portfolio’s shareholders, the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement will become effective as soon as reasonably practical following the date on which such approval is obtained.  If the agreement is not approved by the Portfolio’s shareholders, FIOP will continue to be managed by Rochdale and its then current subadvisers.

.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDS THAT

YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSED NEW AGREEMENT

Factors Considered by the Board

During the course of its deliberations with respect to the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed a range of information from GML about its business operations, financial position, cost and/or profitability, other accounts and related information.  In particular, the Board considered Rochdale’s view with respect to GML’s expertise in the emerging markets high yield asset class and desirability of accessing this asset class in FIOP.   In considering the nature and quality (including performance) of the services expected to be provided by GML, the Board had before it information that it received from Rochdale and GML with respect to GML’s commitment to implementing a consistent investment program, the performance achieved for other clients with similar investment strategies in the past, and information relating to its compliance programs and back office systems.  The Board also considered a range of information with respect to the experience and professional backgrounds of the members of the proposed portfolio management team.   In concluding that the services to be provided by GML were reasonably likely to benefit FIOP, the Board did not rely upon any single factor, but gave substantial weight to Rochdale’s recommendations and its view with respect to the ability of GML to carry out the investment policies of FIOP and to ensure continuity in its investment strategy.

15 of 41

The Board considered information provided to it by Rochdale and GML with respect to the nature and quality of the services to be provided by GML, including information to the effect that GML would be responsible only for the day-to-day investment decisions for that portion of the assets of FIOP allocated to GML by Rochdale.  Moreover, the Board was informed that GML would not participate in the administration or distribution of shares of the any Trust portfolio and would receive limited, if any, benefit from its association with FIOP or the Trust other than investment advisory fees received.

With respect to the fees to be received by GML under the Proposed Advisory Agreement, the Board determined that the rate at which GML would be compensated by Rochdale for its services under the Proposed Advisory Agreement was reasonable.  Noted, among other things, was the fact that GML’s fee is to be computed as the same rate as Rochdale’s fee.  The Board also noted that GML’s fee will be paid by Rochdale and thus that the Portfolio’s advisory expenses are unlikely to increase as a result of the implementation of the Proposed Advisory Agreement.

During the course of its deliberations, the Board was provided with publicly available information assembled by a third-party service provider about the performance and fee structures of funds similar to FIOP managed by other investment advisers (the “peer group”) and with information from GML regarding the fee structures of its similarly-managed accounts.  While the Board found this information useful as an indication of the range of fees and services in the peer group and among similarly-managed accounts of the proposed manager, the Board did not specifically rely upon such comparisons, but based its findings primarily on the specific facts and circumstances of FIOP and of the Trust as a whole.

Information About the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement.

As indicated above, the parties to the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement are Rochdale and GML.  Under its terms, the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement requires GML to (i) provide a continuous investment program for that portion of FIOP’s assets that may be allocated to it; (ii) provide investment research; (iii) select brokers and dealers through which securities transactions are executed; and (iv) maintain certain records required under relevant provisions of  1940 Act.  The proposed agreement also provides:  that the service provider will not be liable to the Trust for any loss sustained by the Trust unless such loss is caused by the service provider’s willful misfeasance, reckless disregard of duty, bad faith or gross negligence; for termination of the agreement by the Trust or by the service provider upon sixty days’ written notice; and termination in the event of an “assignment” as defined in the 1940 Act.

With respect to duration and termination, the proposed agreement provides that it shall continue in effect for a period of two years from the date on which it becomes effective.  The proposed agreement will remain in effect thereafter from year to year for so long as its continuance is specifically approved, at least annually, by (i) a majority of the Board or the vote of the holders of a majority of FIOP’s outstanding voting securities; and (ii) the affirmative vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such continuance, of a majority of the Trust’s Independent Trustees.

Information About the Proposed Subadviser.

For its services to the Portfolio, GML Capital LLP (“GML”) will receive from the Advisor and not the Portfolio, a fee of 0.50% of the value of that portion of the Portfolio’s assets that may be, from time to time, allocated to GML.

General Matters Under Delaware Law.  Under Delaware law, the Rochdale Funds are not required, and currently do not intend, to hold annual meetings of shareholders except as required by the Investment Company Act or other applicable law.  The Investment Company Act requires initial shareholder approval of each of the investment advisory agreements, election of Board Members and, if a Rochdale Fund holds an annual meeting, ratification of the Board’s selection of the Rochdale Fund’s independent public accountants.  Under certain circumstances, the law provides shareholders with the right to call for a meeting of shareholders to consider the removal of one or more Board Members.  To the extent required by law, the Rochdale Funds will assist in shareholder communication in such matters.  Although the Rochdale Funds do not anticipate that an annual meeting will be held, shareholders may submit proposals that will be considered for submission to shareholders at such meeting.  In the event that an annual meeting is held, any such proposal must be received at least 90 days before proxy statements prepared in connection with such a meeting are forwarded to shareholders.  Shareholders who desire to contact the Board of one or more of the Rochdale Funds should contact that Rochdale Fund’s Secretary.

(b)           Sub-Adviser Services and Duties.  Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to enable Sub-Adviser to perform the general duties described in Section 2(a) above:

(i) General Services. Adviser hereby authorizes Sub-Adviser to, and Sub-Adviser will:  (A)  formulate and implement a continuous investment program for the Subadvised Assets of the Fund; and (B)  take the steps that Sub-Adviser determines to be reasonably necessary to implement such investment program(s), including purchasing, holding or selling the securities and other assets included in the Subadvised Assets of the Fund, selecting brokers, dealers and other intermediaries, settling and allocating trades, aggregating trades, and seeking to obtain best execution, in each case in accordance with the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and Sub-Adviser’s applicable policies and procedures as in effect from time to time. Adviser and Sub-Adviser agree and understand that investment advisory services may be provided by more than one sub-adviser.  Adviser and Sub-Adviser further agree that the Subadvised Assets may consist of all, a portion of or none of the assets of the Fund and that the Adviser has the right to allocate and reallocate assets of the Fund to the Sub-Adviser at any time and from time to time, upon such written notice to the Sub-Adviser as may be reasonably necessary to ensure orderly management of the Fund.  Sub-Adviser agrees that it shall not consult with any other sub-adviser concerning transactions for the Fund in securities or other assets. As required under the 1940 Act, Sub-Adviser will not consult with any other sub-adviser to the Trust or the Fund that is a principal underwriter or an affiliated person of a principal underwriter concerning transactions of the Trust or the Fund in securities or other assets, and Sub-Adviser will be responsible for providing investment advice under this Agreement only with respect to the Subadvised Assets of the Fund. Notwithstanding, Sub-Adviser agrees to meet with Adviser regularly, but no less frequently than quarterly, to discuss the investment program and with the Board as reasonably requested.

(ii)           Selection of Brokers, Dealers and Other Securities Intermediaries.  Without limiting Section 2(b)(i) above:  (A) Sub-Adviser may select brokers, dealers and other intermediaries that are affiliated persons of the Trust, the Fund, Adviser or Sub-Adviser, provided that any trade orders placed with any such affiliated person are placed in accordance with the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and Sub-Adviser’s applicable policies and procedures as in effect from time to time; (B) Sub-Adviser may select brokers, dealers and other intermediaries on the basis that they provide brokerage, research or other services or products to the Fund or other clients of Sub-Adviser or an affiliated person of Sub-Adviser, provided that such selections are made in accordance with Sub-Adviser’s and the Trust’s applicable policies and procedures as in effect from time to time; and (C) in selecting brokers, dealers and other intermediaries, Sub-Adviser may also consider the reliability, integrity and financial condition of a broker, dealer or other intermediary, the size of and difficulty in executing a transaction, and other factors that Sub-Adviser deems appropriate and consistent with  Sub-Adviser’s and the Trust’s policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.

(iii)           Aggregation of Orders.  Without limiting Sections 2(b)(i) or (ii) above, Sub-Adviser may (but shall not be obligated to) aggregate purchase or sale orders for the Subadvised Assets with contemporaneous purchase or sale orders of other clients of Sub-Adviser or its affiliated persons.  In such event, allocation of the securities or other investments so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by Sub-Adviser in the manner Sub-Adviser considers to be equitable and consistent with Sub-Adviser’s applicable policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.  Adviser hereby acknowledges that such aggregation of orders may not result in a more favorable price or lower brokerage commissions in all instances.

(iv)           Proxy Voting.  Adviser hereby authorizes Sub-Adviser to, and Sub-Adviser will, in Sub-Adviser’s discretion and without prior consultation with Adviser or the Board, vote (either directly or through a voting service engaged by Sub-Adviser) all proxies and corporate actions of which Sub-Adviser receives timely notice that are solicited by or with respect to issuers of securities or other assets in which the Subadvised Assets may be invested from time to time.  Such votes shall be made by Sub-Adviser in accordance with Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.  Upon written notice to Sub-Adviser, the Board may at any time withdraw the authority granted to Sub-Adviser pursuant to this Section 2(b)(iv) to perform any or all of the proxy voting services contemplated hereby.  Adviser and/or the Trust shall be responsible for making any Form N-PX filings.

(v)           Recordkeeping.  Adviser hereby authorizes Sub-Adviser to, and Sub-Adviser will, maintain and preserve such books and records relating to the Subadvised Assets of the Fund and the services provided by Sub-Adviser under this Agreement as required of an investment sub-adviser to a registered investment company pursuant to Section 31 of the 1940 Act and Section 204 of the Advisers Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and, further, will maintain such records in the manner and for the periods prescribed by such provisions.  Sub-Adviser agrees that such books and records are the property of the Trust, and that Sub-Adviser will surrender such books and records to Adviser or the Trust, or either of their designees, promptly upon written request (provided, that Sub-Adviser may retain copies of any or all of such books and records).  Sub-Adviser will permit Adviser to reasonably inspect such books and records during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice.

(vi)           Reporting.  Sub-Adviser agrees to provide such reasonable reports as mutually agreed upon by Adviser and Sub-Adviser at such times as mutually agreed upon by Adviser and Sub-Adviser.  Sub-Adviser will provide Adviser with such other information regarding Sub-Adviser or Sub-Adviser’s management of the Subadvised Assets of the Fund as is legally required for any shareholder report (including Forms N-SAR of N-CSR), amended registration statement, prospectus or statement of additional information (including Form N-1A), proxy voting report (including Form N-PX), portfolio holding report (including Form N-Q), proxy statement (including Form N-14), or “blue-sky” filing, or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, of the Trust or the Subadvised Assets Fund filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or applicable state securities regulator (collectively, “Required Filings”).  Upon the Trust’s or Adviser’s reasonable request, Sub-Adviser also will make available its officers and employees to meet with the Board to review Sub-Adviser’s performance under this Agreement, and the performance of the Subadvised Assets Fund, via telephone on a quarterly basis and in person as may be reasonably requested by the Adviser and the Board.

(vii)           Service to Other Clients.  It is understood that Sub-Adviser may perform investment adviser services to other clients including related person, related entities of the Sub-Adviser and various other investment companies.  The Adviser agrees that the Sub-Adviser may provide and take action with respect to any of its clients, itself or affiliates that may compete with or differ from the advice given of the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Fund, so long as is it the Sub-Adviser’s policy, to the extent practical, to allocate investment opportunities to the Fund over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis relative to other clients, itself and its affiliates.  It is understood that Sub-Adviser shall not have any obligation to purchase or sell, or to recommend for purchase or sale, for the Fund any security or other investment which Adviser, its principals, affiliates, or employees may purchase or sell for its or their accounts or for the account of any other client, if in the opinion of Sub-Adviser such transaction or investment appears unsuitable, impractical, or undesirable for the Fund.

(viii)           Valuation.  Adviser acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself, the Fund and the Trust, that Sub-Adviser is not responsible for valuing or pricing the securities and other assets invested in, held by or sold by the Fund (including the Subadvised Assets).  Upon reasonable request, however, the Sub-Adviser will assist the Adviser and the appropriate officers of the Trust in obtaining information about securities that may be purchased for the Fund by the Sub-Adviser with respect to which reliable prices are not available through customary pricing services and otherwise assist the Trust in pricing such assets appropriately. Sub-Adviser agrees that it make commercially reasonable efforts to bring to the attention of the Adviser “significant events” that may come to the attention of the Sub-Adviser and may affect the price of such securities.

(vii)           Compliance Testing.  Adviser agrees that Sub-Adviser is not the compliance agent for the Trust, the Fund or Adviser, that it may not have access to all of the books and records of the Fund necessary to perform certain compliance testing, and that it will not be obligated to request any books and records of a Fund not in Sub-Adviser’s possession for purposes of compliance testing. In no event shall Sub-Adviser be responsible for compliance testing with respect to any assets of a Fund other than the Subadvised Assets.

(vii)           Implementation of Changes.  Adviser agrees that Sub-Adviser shall be afforded a reasonable amount of time to implement any change in applicable law, rule or regulation (but in no event (except after obtaining a proper exemptive order or other relief or Adviser’s consent) beyond the mandatory compliance date for any change in applicable law, rule or regulation), any change in a Fund’s Governing Documents, and any other change arising out of any other Instructions provided by the Board or Adviser in writing to Sub-Adviser.  Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible for implementing (or failing to implement) any change in a Fund’s Governing Documents, or resulting from any Instruction of the Board or Adviser, that is not specifically identified in a writing provided to Sub-Adviser.  Sub-Adviser will promptly inform Adviser if Sub-Adviser is not able to implement any such change or new Instruction.

(viii)           Adviser and Board Supervision.  Sub-Adviser’s performance of services under this Agreement shall be subject to the general supervision and monitoring of Adviser, in the manner contemplated under Rule 17a-10 under the 1940 Act, and the Board.

(c)           Notice of Material Change. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser mutually agree to provide the other with prompt written notice if any of their respective representations, warranties or covenants as set forth in Section 7(a) or 7(b) as the case may be,  shall be breached, or become inaccurate, in any material respect, provided that neither Adviser or Sub-Adviser will be deemed in breach of this disclosure obligation to the extent that counsel has informed Adviser or Sub-Adviser, as the case may be, that such disclosure would render the reporting party in violation of any applicable law or regulation and provided further, that the Adviser will provide such disclosure to the Adviser promptly upon the suspension of such impediment.

8.           Privacy; Confidentiality.

Each party to this Agreement agrees that it shall (and, in the case of Adviser, that Adviser shall cause the Board, the Fund and the Trust to) treat as confidential, and not disclose to any third party, any information (including Sub-Adviser’s investment advice) provided to it (the “Receiving Party”) by the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) that is marked “Confidential” or that reasonably should be known to be confidential, including the investment activities or holdings of the Fund (collectively, “Confidential Information”).  All Confidential Information that a Disclosing Party provides to the Receiving Party shall not be used by the Receiving Party (and, in cases where Adviser is the Receiving Party, by the Board, the Fund or the Trust) for any purpose not permitted under this Agreement.  The foregoing (a) shall not be applicable to any information that is publicly available when provided by the Disclosing Party or which thereafter becomes publicly available other than in contravention of this Agreement or any confidentiality obligation known to the Receiving Party, (b) shall not prevent disclosure or use of any Confidential Information to the extent necessary to render the services or perform the obligations pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise to operate the Trust and the Fund, provided, that any disclosure to a third party is made subject to confidentiality obligations substantially similar, in all material respects, to the privacy and confidentiality obligations imposed under this Section 8, and (c) shall not prevent disclosures expressly permitted or required under applicable law, rule or regulation (including in response to regulatory requests).  A copy of the Sub-Adviser’s privacy policy is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

9.           Limitations of Liability; Indemnification.

(a)           General Limitation of Liability.  In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of Sub-Adviser, or of reckless disregard by Sub-Adviser of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, Sub-Adviser shall not be liable to Adviser, the Fund, the Trust, any shareholder of the Fund, or any other person or entity for any mistake of law, investment decision or other action or omission on the part of Sub-Adviser.  Without limiting the foregoing, Sub-Adviser shall not have any liability whatsoever for any investment losses incurred by the Fund, or arising from transactions by the Fund, prior to the date on which Sub-Adviser assumes responsibility for the management of the Subadvised Assets of such Fund.

35 of 41

(b)           Indemnification.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its shareholders, controlling persons, trustees/directors, officers or employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any direct loss, claim, penalty, fine, expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) or other liability suffered, paid or incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties arising out of, resulting from or relating to (i) any material breach of the Indemnifying Party’s covenants under this Agreement, (ii) any material inaccuracy in, or material breach of, any of the Indemnifying Party’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, (iii) any violation of applicable law by the Indemnifying Party, its shareholders, controlling persons, trustees/directors, officers or employees, (or, in the case of Adviser, the Fund or its service providers, other than Sub-Adviser), or (iv) the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or willful disregard of the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement on the part of the Indemnifying Party, its controlling persons, trustees/directors, officers or  employees (or, in the case of Adviser, the Fund or its service providers, other than Sub-Adviser).  Nothing herein shall be deemed to protect any Indemnified Party against any liability to which such Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of its or their willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence by any Indemnified Party in the performance of its duties under this Sub-Advisory Agreement.  Additionally, the respective indemnification obligations hereunder shall not apply in the event that the conduct that would otherwise form the basis for a claim hereunder, resulted from reliance by the party from whom indemnification is sought on information provided to such party, in writing, by the party seeking indemnification hereunder (or any affiliate of such party) or actions taken by the party seeking indemnification hereunder (or any affiliate of such party).

(c)           Class Actions and Other Litigation Matters.  The Adviser, Trust or Fund will initiate and pursue all appropriate litigation claims and related filings, including but not limited to, preparing and filing pleadings and proofs of claim, in any and all litigation matters in connection with any assets held in the Fund.  The Sub-adviser will upon request and to the extent possible, assist the Adviser, Trust and/or Fund with such actions, but may only do so on behalf of the assets currently managed by the Sub-Adviser.  Sub-Adviser will forward to the Adviser promptly any materials it receives in this regard.

(d)           Remedies Limited to Sub-Adviser and Its Assets.  Adviser, on behalf of itself, the Fund and the Trust, is hereby expressly put on notice of any limitation of liability as set forth in the governing documents (i.e., articles of incorporation, declaration of trust, partnership agreement, or similar governing document, or bylaws) of Sub-Adviser and agrees that the obligations assumed by Sub-Adviser pursuant to this Agreement will be limited in any case to Sub-Adviser and its assets and Adviser, the Trust, and the Fund shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders of Sub-Adviser, the directors/trustees of Sub-Adviser, Sub-Adviser’s officers, employees, agents, contractors or other representatives, or any of them.

(e)           Exclusion.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, as relieving Adviser or Sub-Adviser from any liability or obligation under any provision of the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act or other applicable state or federal law that may not be modified or waived.

10.           Term and Termination.

(a)This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above (“Effective Date”) and shall continue in effect thereafter for a period of two years from the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated. This Agreement will continue thereafter for successive periods of one year, subject to the provisions for termination and all of the other terms and conditions hereof, if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated by the Sub-Adviser or by the Adviser, without payment of any penalty upon not more than sixty (60) days’ prior written notice, which notice may be waived by the party entitled thereto.  This Agreement may also be terminated (A) by the Board or (B) by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such Fund.  Any notice of termination shall be provided to Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the Trust.

(b)This Agreement will terminate automatically, without payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act) or upon the termination of the Advisory Agreement.  In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason, Sub-Adviser shall, promptly upon receiving notice of termination or a receipt acknowledging delivery of a notice of termination to Adviser, or such later date as may be specified in such notice, cease all activity on behalf of the Fund and with respect to the Subadvised Assets, except as expressly directed by Adviser, and except for the settlement of securities transactions already entered into for the account of the Fund with respect to the Subadvised Assets.  Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve Adviser or Sub-Adviser of any liability incurred hereunder.  The provisions of Sections 5 (Compensation), 6 (Expenses), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Term and Termination) and 12(j) (Governing Law) of this Agreement shall survive termination for the applicable statute of limitations period.

11.           Use of Names.

(a)By Sub-Adviser.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, as preventing Sub-Adviser or its affiliates from using Adviser’s, the Trust’s or a Fund’s name in any response to a request for information/proposal, and Sub-Adviser and its affiliates are expressly authorized to include the name of Adviser, the Trust or the Fund on a representative client list.

(b)By Adviser, the Trust and the Fund.  Sub-Adviser hereby grants Adviser, the Trust and the Fund, for the term of this Agreement, a royalty free, nonexclusive, nontransferable right to use the name GML Capital LLP (hereinafter referred to as a “Mark”) in the United States as part of the name of the series of the Trust identified on Schedule 1 and in any Required Filings, or any sales literature, statement, communication or other document relating to the Trust or the Fund, provided the use of such Mark is approved by the Sub-Adviser in advance in writing.  Such right does not include the right to allow third parties to use the Mark.  Neither Adviser, the Trust nor the Fund shall retain any right to use of the Mark after the termination of this Agreement.  Upon termination of this Agreement, Adviser will (and will cause the Trust and the Fund to) immediately terminate all use of the Mark and destroy any remaining unused sales literature, statements, communications or other documents, whether written, printed or electronic, that contains the Mark.  Adviser agrees to use its best efforts to ensure that the nature and quality of the services rendered in connection with the Mark shall conform to the terms of this Agreement.  Adviser further agrees (and to cause the Trust and the Fund) to comply with any reasonable requirements for the use of the Mark provided from time to time by Sub-Adviser to Adviser or the Trust in writing.

(c)           Required Use.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall be construed, as preventing either Sub-Adviser (or its affiliated person) or Adviser, the Trust or the Fund from using the names of Sub-Adviser, Adviser, the Trust or the Fund in responses to regulatory examinations, inspections or inquiries, or subpoenas or other compulsory legal process.

12.           General Provisions.

(d)           Non-Exclusivity; Nature of Relationship.  The investment subadvisory services provided by Sub-Adviser under this Agreement are not to be deemed to be exclusive, and Sub-Adviser shall be free to render similar services to other advisers, investment companies, and other types of clients.  Adviser, the Trust, the Fund and Sub-Adviser are not partners or joint venturers with each other and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed so as to make them partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on any of them.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement (or in a limited power of attorney referenced in this Agreement), Sub-Adviser shall perform its services and other obligations under this Agreement as an independent contractor and not as an agent of Adviser, the Trust, or the Fund.

(e)           Waiver.  The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, rule or regulation, (i) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (ii) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (iii) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

(f)           Entire Agreement; No Modification.  This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, understandings and agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, modified or restated, except by a written agreement executed by both parties to this Agreement and in accordance with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(g)           Assignments; Successors; No Third-Party Rights; Service Providers.  Neither party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other party.  Subject to the preceding sentence, and Section 10 above, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any person or entity other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and permitted assigns.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Sub-Adviser may enter into arrangements with its affiliates and other third party contractors in connection with the performance of Sub-Adviser’s services and other obligations under this Agreement, including for the provision of certain personnel, services and facilities to Sub-Adviser, provided that such arrangements comply with the 1940 Act (including, if applicable the requirements of Section 15 of the 1940 Act).  Sub-Adviser agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, that Sub-Adviser will remain responsible for any actions or omissions of such affiliates or other third-party contractors to the same extent as if Sub-Adviser had taken such action or made such omission under this Agreement.

(h)           Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any regulator or court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.  Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

(i)           Construction.  Unless otherwise expressly provided: (i) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” do not limit the preceding words or terms, and shall be construed to be followed by “without limitation”; (ii) the word “or” in this Agreement is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive (and should be construed, accordingly, as “and/or”); and (iii) any reference to “days” shall mean calendar days.  This Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision in this Agreement.  The following terms have the meanings given to such terms under the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder:  “interested persons”; “affiliated person”; “assign” or “assignment”, and “federal securities laws”.

(j)           Governing Law.  This Agreement, and all statements, certifications and other actions given, made or taken in connection with this Agreement, shall be governed by, and interpreted and construed in accordance with, (i) the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction, and (ii) applicable federal law, including the 1940 Act.  To the extent that the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or any of the provisions of this Agreement, irreconcilably conflict with applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the 1940 Act shall control.
