Identification, Selection and Ongoing Monitoring of Third-Party Managers Under the Program, TAIKO, third-party investment managers and / or other separate account managers appointed by TAIKO, (collectively, the “Managers”) provide access to managed accounts and model portfolios (the “Portfolios”), the Advisers determine which Portfolios the Client assets are to be invested in, and thereafter TAIKO implements all trades or trade instructions necessary to cause such assets to be invested in the Portfolios. In its discretion, Adviser will from time-to-time direct that assets of its clients (the “Assets”) be allocated into, and invested in, one or more of the Portfolios. Adviser will be solely responsible to designating which Clients will participate in Portfolios made available through the Program and the amount of client assets to be allocated to one or more portfolios. A client shall be deemed accepted by TAIKO to participate in the Program upon TAIKO’s acceptance of all necessary data and instructions with respect to that client provided by Adviser and delivered through the electronic portal or other electronic medium that is made available to Advisers by TAIKO and a part of the Program (the “Portal”). TAIKO will establish an account for each client with Program assets. TAIKO, in its discretion, may impose requirements and conditions on the opening and on-going maintenance of an account that participates in the Program. Adviser, subject to any restrictions imposed on the Adviser by the client, will, at all times, be solely responsible for determining and then monitoring whether any assets are invested in any portfolio, and if so, that amount of assets to be allocated among one or more portfolios, both initially and throughout the participation in the Program. Unless otherwise reserved to a client under the investment advisory agreement between Adviser and client (the “client agreement”), Adviser will all times retain discretion to determine how Assets are allocated among the portfolios. If reserved to a client, the client will decide how such client’s assets will be allocated among the portfolios. In all cases, Adviser is responsible for communicating to TAIKO how assets are to be allocated among the portfolios. All clients will be considered clients of Adviser and not of TAIKO, and therefore Adviser will have the primary contact with clients on an on-going basis. In all cases, the Advisor will be considered a client of TAIKO. Adviser shall be solely responsible for informing and advising each client on the allocation of their assets, the investment vehicles utilized by a portfolio in which that client’s assets are allocated (including their objectives). Adviser or the client (as provided in the client agreement) will be solely responsible for designating a custodian for each Account, and the client agreement must authorize TAIKO and the managers to direct trades for clients’ accounts at the custodian.
