(each as an “SEI Service Entity” and collectively, the “SEI Service Entities”) (the Funds and the SEI Service Entities are collectively referred to as the “Insureds”).

 

WHEREAS, the Insureds desire to be named as joint insureds under a Joint Insured Fidelity Bond with a term from August 19, 2022 to August 19, 2023 (the “Bond”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Insureds desire to establish (i) criteria by which recoveries under the Bond shall be allocated among the Insureds in compliance with Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), and (ii) the basis on which additional investment companies may be added as named Insureds under the Bond and as parties to this Agreement;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

1.       In the event recovery is received under the Bond as the result of a loss sustained by a Fund and one or more other Insureds, such Fund shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but at least equal to the amount it would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required under Rule 17g-1(d)(1) under the Act.

 

2.       In the event that an insurer asserts that the liability to an SEI Service Entity in the event of a loss under the Bond has the effect of reducing the maximum limit of its liability under the Bond, each SEI Service Entity agrees to reduce its claim against such insurer under the Bond to the extent required so that any Fund claimant shall receive an amount at least equal to the full amount of its claim or the amount it would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required under Rule 17g-1(d)(1) under the Act.

 

3.       The Insureds may amend this Agreement to add another investment company as a party to the Agreement provided that (a) such investment company satisfies the requirements of Rule 17g-1(b) and (j) under the Act for inclusion in the Bond; (b) the premium paid by each Fund following the addition of another investment company as a party to the Agreement would be no more than the premium such Fund would have had to pay if it had provided and maintained a single insured bond; (c) such investment company has retained an SEI Service Entity to provide services to the investment company; and (d) such investment company executes a written Addendum to this Agreement in the form set forth in Exhibit A of this Agreement and delivers a copy of such executed Addendum to each Insured.

 

 

 

4.       The obligations of the Funds under this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Trustees or holders of units of beneficial interest of any such Fund individually, but bind only the respective assets of each Fund.

 

This Agreement among Jointly Insured Parties may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall be deemed one and the same instrument.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have caused these presents to be executed by their officers hereunto duly authorized all as of the day and year first above written.
