Fund Privacy Policy
Regulation S-P: The U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a regulation regarding the
"Privacy of Consumer Financial Information" known as Regulation S-P. This
regulation states that financial institutions such as the Fund must provide
the shareholder with this notice of the Fund's privacy policies and practices
on an annual basis. The following items (A & B) detail the Fund's policies
and practices:
A. Information We
Collect - Information we receive from you on application or forms include:
your name, address, social security number or tax ID number, W9 status,
phone number and citizenship status. Information about your transactions
with us include; your account number, account balances and transaction
histories.
B. The Fund's Disclosure
Statement - We only disclose personal information about any current or
former shareholder of the Fund as required by law or as authorized by the
shareholder. We also require all of the Fund's brokers, and our Investment
Adviser that acts as the Fund's transfer agent and administrator
to adopt the regulations of Regulation S-P, as specified above by the Fund.
Proxy Voting Record
Our proxy voting record is available online.
Proxy Voting Policy
The Fund views proxy voting
as an integral part of its investment strategy because the voting of proxies
carries risks to the return of specific investments held by the Fund. The Fund may deviate in exceptional circumstances
from these policies if the Adviser determines that a particular investment
may yield a higher return if the Fund deviates from the previously established
policy.
In general, the Fund supports
all proposals that require shareholder votes on fundamental questions concerning
a holding. The Fund generally opposes resolutions that give a board and
management blanket authority without requiring subsequent shareholder approval.
The Fund will withhold votes from board nominees who have supported such
blanket proposals.
