considers such factors as price, quality of execution, expertise in particular markets, the
abilityofthebrokerstoeffectthetransactions,thebrokers’facilities,reliability,reputation,
experience,financialresponsibilityinparticularmarkets,familiaritybothwithinvestment
practices generally and techniques employed by clients and certain brokerages, research
services
(“soft dollar items”) provided by such brokers, and clearing and settlement
capabilities.TheFirmissubjectatalltimestoprinciplesofbestexecution,inaccordancewith
its Policies and Procedures. In selecting broker/dealers to execute transactions, the Firm

competitivetransactionandcustodycosts,helpingclientstoeliminateorcontrolcostsand
