Broker Selection. The Client hereby directs that transactions for the Account should be executed through a Broker/Dealer that will be appointed and hereby promises to notify the Investment Adviser of such appointment in writing. In selecting a Broker/Dealer, the Client has the sole responsibility for negotiating commission rates and other transaction costs with a Broker/Dealer. Although the Client will selected a Broker/Dealer, the Client acknowledges the Investment Advisor will not be required to effect any transaction through a Broker/Dealer if the Investment Advisor reasonably believes that such action may result in a breach of its duties as a fiduciary. The Client understands that by instructing the Investment Advisor to execute all transactions on behalf of the Investment Account through a Broker/Dealer, a disparity may exist between the commissions borne by the Account and the commissions borne by the Investment Advisor’s other clients that do not direct the Investment Advisor to use a particular Broker-Dealer. The Client also understands that by instructing the Investment Advisor to execute all transactions on behalf of the Account through a Broker/Dealer, the Client may not necessarily obtain commission rates and execution as favorable as those that would be obtained if the Investment Advisor was able to place transactions with other broker-dealers. The Client also may forego benefits that the Investment Advisor may be able to obtain for its other clients through, for example, negotiating volume discounts or block trades.

Broker Selection. Stock Management LLC and its related persons do not have the authority to determine the broker or dealer to be used or the commission rates paid.

No broker is paid extra commissions in recognition of the value of services provided, unless the client has specifically requested the more expensive brokerage agreement. In such a case, no portion would go to Stock Management LLC. The custodian shall at all times be responsible for the physical custody of all assets held in such custodianship, and for the collection of interest, dividends and other income attributable thereof. Stock Management LLC shall have no liability for any acts or omissions of any custodian or administrator.

Broker Selection. In selecting the brokers to effect the portfolio transactions for the Fund, the Adviser shall give primary consideration to securing the most favorable price and efficient execution. Certain brokers also provide investment research and analysis and such brokers may execute brokerage transactions at a higher cost to the Fund. The Fund recognizes the value of investment research and analysis and therefore authorizes the Adviser to pay higher brokerage commissions to brokers who provide such research and analyses, subject to the review by the Fund’s trustees from time to time. It is understood that the investment research and analysis provided by such brokers may be useful to the Adviser in connection with its services to other clients. When the Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of the Fund and other clients, the Adviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may aggregate the security to be purchased or sold in order to obtain the most favorable price and efficient execution. In such event, the Adviser will allocate the securities so purchased or sold and the expenses incurred in the transaction, in the manner it considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients.

Related to Broker Selection

  • Broker-Dealer Selection The Sub-Adviser is authorized to make decisions to buy and sell securities and other investments for each Series’ portfolio, broker-dealer selection, and negotiation of brokerage commission rates in effecting a security transaction. The Sub-Adviser’s primary consideration in effecting a security transaction will be to obtain the best execution for the Series, taking into account the factors specified in the prospectus and/or statement of additional information for the Trust, and determined in consultation with the Manager, which include price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dollar spread), the size of the order, the nature of the market for the security, the timing of the transaction, the reputation, the experience and financial stability of the broker-dealer involved, the quality of the service, the difficulty of execution, and the execution capabilities and operational facilities of the firm involved, and the firm’s risk in positioning a block of securities. Accordingly, the price to a Series in any transaction may be less favorable than that available from another broker-dealer if the difference is reasonably justified, in the judgment of the Sub-Adviser in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the Trust, by other aspects of the portfolio execution services offered. Subject to such policies as the Trust’s Board of Trustees or Manager may determine and consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sub-Adviser shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Series to pay a broker-dealer for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Sub-Adviser’s or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Series and to their respective other clients as to which they exercise investment discretion. The Sub-Adviser will consult with the Manager to the end that portfolio transactions on behalf of a Series are directed to broker-dealers on the basis of criteria reasonably considered appropriate by the Manager. To the extent consistent with these standards, the Sub-Adviser is further authorized to allocate the orders placed by it on behalf of a Series to the Sub-Adviser if it is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, to an affiliated broker-dealer, or to such brokers and dealers who also provide research or statistical material, or other services to the Series, the Sub-Adviser, or an affiliate of the Sub-Adviser. Such allocation shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Sub-Adviser shall determine consistent with the above standards, and the Sub-Adviser will report on said allocation regularly to the Trust’s Board of Trustees indicating the broker-dealers to which such allocations have been made and the basis therefor.
