The investment strategies of the Fund will be revised in order to reflect the new investment objective.
As a result of the change in the investment objectives and strategies the current sub advisor will no longer act on behalf of the fund. Redwood will continue as the portfolio advisor of the Fund and will be solely responsible for investment decisions on behalf of the fund.
