AIA is a Delaware limited liability company and the United States member of a group of internationally affiliated investment advisers collectively referred to as “Aviva Investors”. AIA has been registered with the SEC since 2012. AIA is a wholly owned, direct subsidiary of Aviva Investors North America Holdings Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aviva Investors Holdings Ltd, which in turn, is a subsidiary of Aviva plc, a publicly traded financial services company headquartered in the United Kingdom. AIA provides investment advisory services to institutional clients, serves as a sub-adviser to certain foreign affiliated and domestic non- affiliated registered investment funds. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Firm” refer to AIA. “Aviva” refers to Aviva plc as a group, including its insurance business. AIA provides a wide array of discretionary fixed income and alternative income investment management services as follows: Separately managed institutional account advisory services are provided under the terms of an advisory agreement between AIA and its clients. AIA permits customization of an account’s guidelines to meet the particular needs of its clients, as long as the Firm believes such customization will not unduly hamper its ability to execute the investment strategy. Generally, clients establish their own investment guidelines and restrictions for their accounts, although AIA maintains standard guidelines for a number of strategies that may be used without modification by clients. AIA also provides sub-advisory services to other investment funds and clients (“Underlying Portfolios”) that are established and primarily managed by affiliated non-U.S. investment advisers, referred to as the “Affiliated Adviser Clients”. These non-U.S. investment advisers are registered and regulated under the laws of various foreign countries, including, but not limited to, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom. AIA provides such investment advisory services to the Affiliated Adviser Clients for the benefit of Underlying Portfolios which include non-U.S. investment companies marketed to non-U.S. retail and institutional investors (and which are not marketed to, nor generally available for investment by U.S. investors without an applicable exemption

from registration.). AIA also has several appointments as investment adviser to insurance companies that are part of the Aviva group. AIA is a sub-adviser to an unaffiliated investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, a multi-manager fund (“Mutual Fund”). Lastly, AIA also provides from time to time, non-discretionary investment advice on assets such as infrastructure debt, real estate and private corporate debt. Any client of such services is solely responsible for the execution of any investment recommendation. In performing its advisory services, AIA utilizes select investment professionals and traders of certain of its non-U.S. affiliates to advise a particular investment strategy or product. In keeping with applicable regulatory guidance, each such affiliate has entered into a memorandum of understanding with AIA through which the affiliate is considered a "Participating Affiliate" of AIA as that term is used in relief granted by the staff of the SEC. This arrangement (“Participating Affiliate Agreement” or “PAA”) allows AIA to use the resources and professional expertise of its non-U.S. affiliates to render portfolio management, research, or trading services to U.S. clients of AIA. In the future, AIA may use its Participating Affiliates to advise on other investment strategies. In partnering with overseas affiliates, AIA offers management and related services to U.S. clients provided by the investment management personnel associated with Participating Affiliates, who may be viewed as best positioned to provide the expertise required to manage a particular strategy or product. Investment professionals of a Participating Affiliate may render substantially similar portfolio management research or trading services to their own advisory clients and the performance achieved may be better or worse than that achieved on behalf of AIA clients. AIA and each of its investment advisory affiliates, including Participating Affiliates, are subsidiaries of Aviva. AIA does not sponsor or participate in any “wrap-fee” programs or manage any model portfolios. As of December 31, 2023, AIA’s total assets under management were approximately $18.6 billion, on a discretionary basis and $13.0 million on a non-discretionary basis.
