As part of a reorganization, Numeric Investors LLC (“Numeric”) was formed on January 22, 2004 and carried on the firm’s business. Numeric is a wholly owned subsidiary of Man Investments Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation. Man Investments Holdings Inc. is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Man Group plc, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange and a member of the FTSE 250 Index. Man Group plc, through its investment management subsidiaries (collectively, “Man”), is a global investment management business that provides a range of fund products and investment management services for institutional and private investors globally.

Man provides a number of centralized functions to Numeric including trading, financing and cash management, risk management, operations, middle office accounting, finance, proxy voting, class actions, human resources, facilities, tax, legal, compliance, and information technology among other such services. Numeric utilizes portfolio analysis, investment management, research, trade execution, client servicing, sales and marketing capabilities of its affiliates in providing services to its clients. In addition to these services, Numeric’s affiliates may utilize its trade execution and other services in providing services to their clients. In some cases, certain of Numeric’s investment personnel may provide investment management services to clients of the Firm as well as clients of one or more of its affiliates. Certain affiliated advisory firms are considered to be “Participating Affiliates” of Numeric (as that term is used in relief granted by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)) allowing investment advisers registered with the SEC to use portfolio management, research, operations, and trading resources of advisory affiliates and personnel subject to the supervision of an SEC-registered adviser. Professionals from such Participating Affiliates may render portfolio advisement, research, and other related services to Numeric clients and/or Numeric as affiliated “associated persons” of Numeric and are subject to supervision by Numeric. Fees may be paid by and received from the parties under these arrangements. This brochure generally includes information about Numeric and its relationships with its clients and affiliates. While much of this brochure applies to all of Numeric’s clients, certain information applies to specific clients only. Important information regarding each Private Fund and Separate Account, which may include investment objectives, risks, strategy, fees and other material information, including applicable conflicts of interest regarding relationships with affiliates, is contained in each Private Fund’s offering documents and in each Separate Account’s investment management agreement, as the case may be. Types of Advisory Services 1 Man assets under management as stated in the Man Group plc Annual Report include advisory-only assets over which Man has no decision making or trading authority and dedicated managed account platform services for which Man provides platform and risk management services but does not provide investment management services.

Discretionary investment advisory services are provided by Numeric through separately managed account arrangements pursuant to advisory and sub-advisory contracts, which incorporate investment guidelines and restrictions. Advisory contracts are typically negotiated to meet the specific needs of the particular client. Private Funds.

Strategies. Numeric manages assets in domestic and international strategies. All strategies (other than Numeric’s credit strategies strategies) invest primarily in publicly traded equity securities. 2 “Employee(s)” for purposes of this Brochure includes personnel, partners, officers, directors (other than non- executive directors of Man Group plc) and other persons with similar status or performing similar functions. Numeric’s credit strategies invests primarily in corporate bonds. Some strategies also invest in single equity swaps while others invest in equity index futures or swap contracts. Equity swaps are derivative contracts where a set of future cash flows based on the performance of the underlying equity security are agreed to be exchanged between two counterparties at set dates in the future, thereby giving each party to a swap contract synthetic exposure to the underlying equity security. Equity index futures are futures contracts used to replicate the performance of an underlying stock market index. Equity index futures generally are used for cash flow management, hedging against an existing equity position or for speculating on future movements of an index. Long only investment strategies are driven by quantitative investment principles which seek to outperform certain agreed upon benchmarks. Hedged investment strategies are driven by quantitative investment principles which seek to maximize total return while managing risk within specified parameters. Strategies offered currently include:
• Long-only equity portfolios (containing only long equity positions), for both developed market (including both global and regionally focused strategies such as US, Europe, Japan and Australia) and emerging market strategies, including dedicated China A strategies;
• High yield and investment grade fixed income portfolio (containing primarily long debt positions);
• Hedged portfolios (containing offsetting long and short positions), for United States, Global and Emerging Markets strategies;
• Equitized hedged portfolios (containing offsetting long and short positions plus index futures sufficient to give the portfolio equity market exposures), for Global strategies;
• Active extension long/short portfolios (approximately 130% long and 30% short positions)) for United States, Emerging Markets and International strategies; and
• Absolute return portfolios that cover both Developed and Emerging Markets equities, as well as credit. Quantitative Models. Numeric’s quantitative process utilizes internally developed securities- selection models. By breaking up the investable universe of securities into brackets along proprietary criteria, the most influential model or models in determining a security’s expected performance in that particular bracket can be emphasized. The combined score for each security is the primary driver of investment decisions. Tailoring of Advisory Services Numeric will tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of its clients. Clients are able to impose reasonable restrictions on the securities or types of securities purchased on their behalf for a Separate Account, provided that the client supplies Numeric in advance with such information as it determines is reasonably necessary to apply the restrictions. Numeric’s management of each Private Fund, and the terms of any investor’s investment in a Private Fund, are governed exclusively by the terms of that Private Fund’s organizational documents, private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement or memorandum and articles of association, investment management agreement, subscription agreement and other governing documents (collectively, the “governing documents”). The sub-advisory services provided by Numeric to the Sub-Advised Funds are governed by the terms of the agreement between Numeric and the Sub-Advised Fund’s investment adviser, as well as other governing documents (collectively, the “Sub-Advised Fund governing documents”). All discussions in this brochure of the Funds, their investments, the strategies Numeric uses in managing the Funds, and the fees associated with an investment in the Funds are qualified in their entirety by reference to the relevant Private Fund or Sub-Advised Fund governing documents. Numeric does not participate in wrap fee programs. Client Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2023, Numeric had approximately $48.9billion in regulatory assets under management.
