*The Red Rocks Global Listed Private Equity Index is replacing the S&P Listed Private Equity Index as the Fund’s secondary index. The Red Rocks Global Listed Private Equity Index includes securities, ADRs and GDRs of 40 to 75 private equity companies, including business development companies, master limited partnerships and other vehicles whose principal business is to invest in, lend capital to or provide services to privately held companies. The Red Rocks Global Listed Private Equity Index is managed by the Fund’s Sub-Adviser. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser made this recommendation to the Board because the new index more closely aligns to the Fund’s investment strategies and investment restrictions. Information on both indices will be shown for a one-year transition period.
