Portfolio Managers of the Adviser
The Adviser utilizes a team-based and integrated approach to its investment management process, including strategy development, research, portfolio implementation, risk management and trading execution. The Adviser's investment decisions are based on quantitative analysis of a specified universe of securities or other assets.

The Adviser's research, portfolio implementation and trading teams supervise the day-to-day execution of these models and continuously research ways to enhance their efficiency. Senior portfolio managers oversee this process while junior portfolio managers and portfolio implementation specialists provide appropriate oversight of the day to day details of each Fund's portfolio.
Each of the portfolio managers listed below is a senior member of the applicable portfolio management team that oversees the Adviser's investment management process for one or more of the investment strategies employed by the applicable Fund.

the section entitled "Other Accounts Managed" beginning on page 53 of the SAI is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
Each of the portfolio managers is also responsible for managing other accounts in addition to the respective Fund or Funds which the portfolio manager manages, including other accounts of the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates. Other accounts may include, without limitation, separately managed accounts for foundations, endowments, pension plans, and high net-worth families; registered investment companies; unregistered investment companies relying on either Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act (such companies are commonly referred to as "hedge funds"); foreign investment companies; and may also include accounts or investments managed or made by the portfolio managers in a personal or other capacity, including reference accounts for non-discretionary model portfolios offered by the Adviser ("Proprietary Accounts"). Management of other accounts in addition to the Funds can present certain conflicts of interest, as described below (under "Potential Conflicts of Interest").
The following table indicates the number of accounts and assets under management for each type of account managed as of December 31, 2020:
