THORNBURG INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT INC

Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. (“Thornburg”) is a privately held investment management company based in Santa Fe, New Mexico and organized as a corporation under the laws of Delaware. Thornburg is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), holds a foreign financial service license in Australia, files international adviser exemptions in several Canadian provinces, and is the parent of a FINRA registered limited purpose broker-dealer, and non-U.S. entities established in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. Garrett Thornburg founded Thornburg in 1982 and currently beneficially owns 100% of Thornburg’s voting shares. As of December 31, 2025, Thornburg managed $54,452,002,823 in client assets on a discretionary basis and $1,216,736,817 in UMA/model assets. Thornburg provides discretionary portfolio management and investment services to a number of client types, including:

Thornburg Investment Trust (the “Mutual Fund Trust”), an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that has a number of separate publicly available investment portfolios represented by separate series (the “Thornburg Mutual Funds”); Thornburg ETF Trust (the “ETF Trust”), an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act, that has a number of separate publicly available investment portfolios represented by separate series (the “Thornburg ETFs”); Thornburg Income Builder Opportunities Trust (“TBLD”), a closed-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act; Thornburg Global Investment plc (“TGI”), an umbrella investment company with several sub-funds, authorized and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland pursuant to the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011, as amended; separate accounts for institutional clients (“Institutional Separate Accounts”); separate accounts for private clients (“Private Client Separate Accounts” and together with Institutional Separate Accounts, “Separate Accounts”); separate accounts for clients in third party wrap fee programs (“Wrap Programs” and “Wrap Program Accounts”); and private investment funds and other non-SEC registered investment vehicles (“Other Pooled Investment Vehicles”).

Thornburg also provides nondiscretionary advice in unified managed account programs (“UMA Programs”). Additional detail about each of these client types is provided in Item 7, Types of Clients, below. Except for certain relationships, including Wrap Programs as discussed below, Thornburg generally performs advisory services for each client under the terms of an investment advisory agreement with that client. Within a given investment strategy – and consistent with the stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions of that investment strategy – Thornburg typically exercises exclusive investment discretion regarding the purchase or sale of securities or other investments. Thornburg may also agree to manage a client’s account subject to certain reasonable restrictions that the client imposes on the inclusion of specific securities, or types of securities, within that account.

Additional detail about Thornburg’s investment strategies is provided in Item 8, Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss, below. Thornburg has also been retained as an investment manager under a number of Wrap Programs established by certain unaffiliated sponsors. Wrap Program clients typically enter into an investment advisory agreement with the sponsor and the sponsor enters into a sub-advisory agreement with Thornburg to provide portfolio management services to the Wrap Program clients. The sponsor is responsible for analyzing the financial needs of each particular Wrap Program client and determining that Thornburg’s portfolio management services are suitable for that client. With some exceptions, Thornburg manages Wrap Program accounts in a manner that is generally similar to Private Client Separate Accounts. Differences include limited flexibility of Wrap Program accounts to customize investment guidelines and certain Wrap Program sponsors may not allow their clients to hold securities issued by the sponsor.

The investment advisory services Thornburg provides to the Thornburg Mutual Funds, the Thornburg ETFs, and TBLD and the fee schedules for such services, are generally described in their current disclosure documents filed with the SEC on the SEC’s EDGAR database on the website (www.sec.gov), and together with similar information and disclosure documents for Thornburg Global Investment plc, are also publicly available at Thornburg’s website (www.thornburg.com), or by contacting Thornburg at 1-800-847-0200. Below are the standard fees generally quoted for prospective clients. Existing clients may have different fee arrangements from those stated below, and actual rates are negotiable. Unless otherwise specified below or in the advisory contract that Thornburg enters into with a particular client, Thornburg’s fees will be automatically deducted from client accounts on a quarterly basis, typically in advance. Thornburg imposes investment minimums on certain types of accounts. For a discussion of the applicable investment minimums, see Item 7, Types of Clients, below. Fees for Institutional Separate Accounts and Private Client Separate Accounts When Thornburg provides portfolio management services to an institutional or private client through a Separate Account, Thornburg will charge each such Separate Account a fee at a specified annual percentage rate of the account’s assets under management. Thornburg’s standard fee rates for Separate Accounts are listed below. However, the fees charged to Separate Accounts are negotiable and will typically vary depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to:

the type of client; reporting requirements; whether the client wishes to impose restrictions on Thornburg’s discretionary investment authority (e.g., restrictions on the types of securities that Thornburg may acquire for the account); the amount of assets of a client and/or its affiliates under management with Thornburg (i.e., relationship pricing).

The fee rates listed below do not include fees that a Separate Account client pays to other third-party service providers, such as custodian, third party money manager, consultant, brokerage and exchange fees, and fees charged by a custodian in certain Private Client Separate Accounts for trades Thornburg executes away from the program sponsor. Note also that, not all of the following investment strategies are available to Private Client Separate Account clients. See Item 7, Types of Clients, below, for more detail about the types of investment strategies that may be available to each client.

The sub-advisory fees are set forth in the sub-advisory agreement between Thornburg and that principal adviser. Thornburg’s fee is a component of the total investment advisory fee. Additional detail about the fees charged to an investor in a fund for which Thornburg provides sub-advisory services is available in the fund’s then-current prospectus.

Fees for Wrap Programs A client in a Wrap Program typically pays the sponsor of the program an annual fee typically ranging from 1% to 3% of the client’s annual assets under management. In general, Thornburg receives an annual fee ranging from 0.17% to 0.75% of the client assets it manages. The specific fee will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the Wrap Program and the particular Thornburg investment strategy(ies) that the program will offer to clients. The Wrap Program client does not pay any fees directly to Thornburg; instead, the sponsor pays Thornburg’s fee out of the proceeds of the “wrap fee” paid by the client. If Thornburg’s service to the Wrap Program is terminated, the sponsor will refund a pro rata portion of any pre-paid advisory fee to the client. Wrap Program fees typically cover all brokerage commissions on trades that are executed with the sponsor. A Wrap Program client will pay fees in addition to the Wrap Program fees when trades are “stepped-out” to broker-dealers other than the sponsor. Thornburg will “step-out” trades when it believes that “step-out” trades are more likely to provide Wrap Program clients with best overall execution price. The additional fees that are charged to the client are reflected in the “net price” a client pays for or receives from the transaction and typically are not shown separately on a trade confirmation or account statement. For more information about the types of brokerage commissions that may be separately charged to Wrap Program clients, see Item 12, Brokerage Practices, below. Fees for Unified Managed Account (“UMA”) Programs Thornburg charges UMA Program sponsors an annual fee that varies depending on a number of factors, including the number of model portfolios that the sponsor is purchasing and the sponsor’s total assets under management. Fees for Other Pooled Investment Vehicles The fees that Thornburg charges for the portfolio management services to the Other Pooled Investment Vehicles are described and disclosed in their respective offering documents. General Information about Fees Refunds of Pre-Paid and Unearned Advisory Fees. Thornburg’s advisory contracts with clients typically can be terminated at any time by either party upon written notice to the other party. If an advisory contract is terminated, Thornburg will refund to the client any unearned and pre-paid advisory fees. Most Favored Nation Clauses. Certain clients have negotiated “most favored nation” clauses in their agreements with Thornburg. These clauses typically require Thornburg to decrease the fees charged to the “most favored nation” client in certain cases depending on various factors when Thornburg enters into an agreement at a lower fee rate with another client. The applicability of a “most favored nation” clause may depend on the degree of similarity between clients, including reporting requirements, investment restrictions, the amount of assets under management, the client’s investment strategy, and other factors. Thornburg does not agree to “most favored nation” clauses in all circumstances.

Portfolio Values for Fee Calculations. For purposes of calculating the amount of any asset-based fee owed and payable to Thornburg, the following methods are used for each type of client:

Thornburg Mutual Funds, Thornburg ETFs, and TBLD: The net asset value of each fund is calculated each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, based on data provided to Thornburg by the respective fund’s custodian bank and by independent thirdparty pricing vendors, or other sources, as more fully described in the relevant fund’s prospectuses and reports to shareholders. A fund’s net asset value is computed by adding the fair market value of the fund’s investments, cash and other assets, and by subtracting the liabilities of the fund.

Institutional Separate Accounts (including unaffiliated registered investment companies): As set forth in the client’s contract with Thornburg, portfolio valuations are generally determined by either (i) the client’s custodian or (ii) Thornburg, using its own asset valuations. Thornburg’s valuations are generally based upon information that Thornburg receives from third party pricing vendors and may be higher or lower than the portfolio valuation calculated by a custodian. If no pricing vendor information is available or Thornburg does not agree with the vendor’s valuation, Thornburg uses various factors in accordance with its pricing and valuation policies and procedures to determine a fair value.

Private Client Separate Accounts: Thornburg generally determines portfolio valuations using its own asset valuations. Those valuations are generally based upon information that Thornburg receives from third party pricing vendors and may be higher or lower than the portfolio valuation calculated by a custodian. If no pricing vendor information is available or Thornburg does not agree with the vendor’s valuation, Thornburg uses various factors in accordance with its pricing and valuation policies and procedures to determine a fair value.

Wrap Programs: The program’s sponsor or its agents or affiliates typically determines asset valuations.

Other Pooled Investment Vehicles: The entity’s custodian or trustee generally determines asset valuations. Thornburg may, from time to time, typically for difficult to value securities, make valuation recommendations to the custodian or trustee.

Investments in Thornburg Advised Funds. If permitted by a client’s investment guidelines, at times, Thornburg will invest a portion of the assets in a client’s separate account in one or more of the Thornburg Mutual Funds, Thornburg ETFs, or other affiliated or unaffiliated funds that Thornburg may advise or sub-advise (collectively, the “Thornburg Advised Funds”). This may occur when, for example, a Thornburg Advised Fund provides a more efficient or cost-effective way to diversify a separate account or when we offer a particular strategy, partially or wholly, only through a Thornburg Advised Fund. That portion of a separate account’s assets invested in a Thornburg Advised Fund will not be subject to the account’s advisory fee if the Thornburg Advised Fund also charges an advisory fee; however, if the Thornburg Advised Fund does not charge an advisory fee (a “No-Fee Thornburg Advised Fund”), the separate account assets invested in the Thornburg Advised Fund will be subject to the

account’s advisory fee. No-Fee Thornburg Advised Funds are currently utilized as completion funds in certain strategies. Shares of No-Fee Thornburg Advised Funds used as completion funds are only available for purchase and redemption by or on behalf of separately managed account clients where Thornburg has an agreement with the managed account program’s sponsor or directly with the client. Expenses and charges applicable to shareholders in the Thornburg Advised Fund are set forth in the Thornburg Advised Fund’s current prospectus or other governing documents. Under some circumstances, the advisory fee rate paid by a Thornburg Advised Fund to Thornburg will be higher than the advisory fee rate payable to Thornburg with respect to the separate account. Thornburg will charge its separate account advisory fee when we purchase interests in funds that are not Thornburg Advised Funds. Additional Expenses. Please see Item 12, Brokerage Practices, below, for additional information about the types of brokerage and other transaction costs that Thornburg’s clients may incur. Services to Employees, Family and Friends of Thornburg. Thornburg provides portfolio management services to certain Thornburg principals, employees, and their family members and friends without charge, or for fees that are lower than the fees available to other clients. Thornburg’s employees are eligible to invest in certain Thornburg-managed pooled investment vehicles, and Thornburg typically waives performance-based fees for assets invested by Thornburg’s principals, employees, and their family members and friends. Tax Implications – Sale of Existing Positions upon Transition to Thornburg. When a new client’s existing portfolio transitions to Thornburg, Thornburg will sell all securities transferred into an account if Thornburg does not believe the securities are suitable or consistent with the selected Thornburg investment strategy. Thornburg will then use the proceeds to buy securities appropriate for the selected investment strategy. Thornburg does not consider tax consequences to a client when selling transferred securities. If requested by the client, Thornburg will work with the client to identify those securities selected by Thornburg to be sold and move those securities to a different account or accounts at their custodian, or elsewhere, that Thornburg does not advise.

As described in Item 7, Types of Clients, above, Thornburg offers its clients a range of equity and fixed income investment strategies. Different clients are eligible to select some or all of these investment strategies. The following is a brief description of each investment strategy’s investment objective(s), the general investment strategies that are typically used in managing assets within that investment strategy, and the material risks associated with an investment in the investment strategy. There is no assurance that a particular investment strategy will meet its investment objectives. Additionally, the investment strategies and techniques that Thornburg uses within a given investment strategy will vary over time depending on various factors. Summaries of investment objectives, principal investment strategies and material risks provided below are necessarily limited and are presented for general information purposes in accordance with regulatory requirements. Consequently, these summaries are in all instances qualified and superseded by the descriptions of objectives, strategies and risks, portfolio reports, and other communications that are provided to each client in connection with the creation and maintenance of the client’s own account with Thornburg. Additional details about each investment strategy may be obtained at no charge by contacting Thornburg at 1-800-533-9337 or www.thornburg.com. Information about the investment objectives, strategies and risks of each Thornburg Mutual Fund, Thornburg ETF, and TBLD is publicly available in each fund’s prospectuses and statements of additional information, which may be obtained free of charge by contacting Thornburg at 1-800-533-9337 or www.thornburg.com, or on the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Information about the investment objectives, strategies and risks of the Other Pooled Investment Vehicles is described in their respective offering documents. Investing in securities involves the risk of loss of money, and clients investing their money with Thornburg should be prepared to bear that loss. None of the pooled investment vehicles or other funds for which Thornburg provides portfolio management services is a deposit in any bank, nor are those pooled investment vehicles or funds insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

In addition to the Material Risks listed below for each strategy, investing involves various operational and general risks. Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risks include both intentional and unintentional events at Thornburg or one of its third-party counterparties or service providers, that may result in a loss or corruption of data, result in the unauthorized release or other misuse of confidential information, and generally compromise Thornburg’s ability to conduct its business. A cybersecurity breach may also result in a third-party obtaining unauthorized access to Thornburg clients’ information, including social security numbers, home addresses, account numbers, account balances, and account holdings. Thornburg has established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cybersecurity breaches. However, there are inherent limitations in these plans and systems, including that certain risks may not have been identified, in large part because different or unknown threats may emerge in the future. As such, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because Thornburg does not directly control the cybersecurity systems of issuers, trading counterparties, or third-party service providers. There is also a risk that cybersecurity breaches may not be detected. Economic Sanctions Risk. Foreign countries, companies, or individuals may become subject to economic sanctions or other government restrictions, which can negatively impact the value or liquidity of an account’s investments. In addition, sanctions and similar measures can result in downgrades in credit ratings of the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically exposed to the sanctioned country or company, devaluation of the sanctioned country’s currency, and increased market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. We may be prohibited from investing in securities issued by companies subject to such restrictions, and sanctions or other similar measures can significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions. Financial Market Fluctuations. Over time, the business, economic, political, regulatory, and technology environment may undergo substantial changes. Various sectors of the U.S. and global financial markets and the broader current financial environment have been, and continue to be, characterized by uncertainty, volatility and instability. The financial services industry generally and investment activities are affected by general economic and market conditions, including interest rates, availability of credit, lack of price transparency, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in tax and other applicable laws and regulations, trade barriers, national and international and environmental and socioeconomic circumstances. There can be no assurance that such economic and market conditions will be favorable in respect of both the investment and disposition activities of a client. General fluctuations in the market prices of securities and economic conditions generally may reduce the availability of attractive investment opportunities and may affect the value of investments. Instability in the securities markets and economic conditions generally (including a slow-down in economic growth and/or changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates) may also increase the risks inherent in investments and could have a negative impact on the performance and/or valuation of such investments. Investment performance can be affected by deterioration in the capital markets and by market events. To the extent that such market events occur, they may have an adverse impact on the availability of credit to businesses generally and could lead to an overall weakening of the U.S. and global economies. Such an

economic downturn could adversely affect the financial resources of certain issuers and result in the inability of such borrowers to make principal and interest payments on outstanding debt when due. In the event of such default, an investment may suffer a partial or total loss of capital invested in such issuers, which could, in turn have an adverse effect on a client’s investment returns. The duration and ultimate effect of current market conditions and whether such conditions may worsen cannot be predicted. Force Majeure Risk. Investments may be affected by force majeure events (i.e., events beyond the control of the party claiming that the event has occurred, including, without limitation, acts of God, fire, flood, earthquakes, outbreaks of an infectious disease, epidemic, pandemic or any other serious public health concern, war, terrorism and labor strikes). Some force majeure events may adversely affect the ability of a party (including an investment or a counterparty) to perform its obligations until it is able to remedy the force majeure event. In addition, the cost of repairing or replacing damaged assets resulting from such force majeure event could be considerable. Certain force majeure events (such as war or an outbreak of an infectious disease) could have a broader negative impact on the world economy and international business activity generally, or in any of the countries in which a client may invest specifically. Additionally, a major governmental intervention into industry, including the nationalization of an industry or the assertion of control over one or more issuers or its assets, could result in a loss to certain investments. Any of the foregoing may therefore adversely affect the performance of a client’s investments. Market Disruption, Health Crises, Terrorism and Geopolitical Risk. Investments are subject to the risk that war, terrorism, global health crises or similar pandemics, other related geopolitical events, extreme weather and climate-related events and other events affecting the financial markets may lead to increased short‐term market volatility and have adverse long‐term effects on world economies and markets generally, as well as adverse effects on issuers of securities and the value of investments. War, terrorism and related geopolitical events, as well as global health crises and similar pandemics, extreme weather and climaterelated events and other events affecting the financial markets have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short‐term market volatility and may have adverse long‐term effects on world economies and markets generally. Those events as well as other changes in world economic, political and health conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of investments. At such times, an investment’s exposure to a number of other risks described elsewhere in this section can increase. Risks of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”). Thornburg’s ability to use, manage and aggregate data, including data related to the use of AI tools, may be limited by the effectiveness of its policies, systems and practices that govern how data is acquired, validated, used, stored, protected, processed and shared. Failure to manage data effectively and to aggregate data in an accurate and timely manner may limit Thornburg’s ability to manage current and emerging risks, as well as to manage changing business needs and to adapt to the use of new tools, including AI. While Thornburg may under certain circumstances restrict certain uses of third-party and open source AI tools, it’s employees and consultants and a client’s investments will under certain circumstances use these tools, which may pose additional risks relating to the protection of Thornburg’s and such investments’ proprietary data, including the potential exposure of Thornburg’s or such investments’ confidential information to

Thornburg’s services to the Mutual Fund Trust, the ETF Trust, and TBLD are supervised by each of their respective governing Boards of Trustees.

Those documents are publicly available through Thornburg’s website (www.thornburg.com) or through the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov), and may also be obtained free of charge by contacting Thornburg at 1-800-847-0200. Institutional Separate Account Thornburg will manage an Institutional Separate Account consistent with the client’s selected investment strategy(ies). Clients may limit or restrict Thornburg’s management of the account; however, Thornburg reserves the right not to enter into a contract with a prospective client, or to terminate an agreement with an existing client, if the proposed limitation or restriction is likely, in Thornburg’s opinion, to impair its ability to provide services to a client or is otherwise administratively or practically not feasible. The investment strategies that Thornburg makes available to Institutional Separate Accounts are shown below. A brief description of each investment strategy’s investment objective(s), along with the investment strategies used to achieve the objective and the material risks associated with such investment strategies, is provided in response to Item 8, Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss, below.

Thornburg reserves the right in its sole discretion to waive account minimums and to create customized investment strategies for clients. Wrap Programs Thornburg acts as an investment manager in a number of Wrap Programs sponsored by unaffiliated firms (sponsors). In a typical Wrap Program arrangement, the client enters into an investment advisory agreement with the sponsor, and the sponsor enters into a sub-advisory agreement with Thornburg. The sponsor is responsible for determining that Thornburg’s portfolio management services are suitable for a particular client. The sponsor also remains responsible for monitoring and

evaluating Thornburg’s performance on behalf of the client, for executing brokerage transactions within the client’s account, and for providing custodial services for the client’s assets. Thornburg typically has exclusive investment discretion over the purchase and sale of securities and other investments within the client’s account, consistent with the client’s investment strategy and the capabilities of the client’s custodian. The investment strategies that Thornburg makes available to Wrap Program clients vary from one Wrap Program to another; currently, not all of Thornburg’s investment strategies are available in every Wrap Program. Each Wrap Program sponsor imposes a minimum account size to open and maintain an account. Thornburg’ s Wrap Program account minimums typically range from $50,000 to $500,000 for equity accounts and from $250,000 to $25 million for fixed income accounts. Thornburg reserves the right in its sole discretion to waive an account minimum. For a complete list of the Wrap Programs in which Thornburg participates, see Thornburg’s Form ADV, Part I, available on the SEC’s web site, www.adviserinfo.sec.gov, or contact our Chief Compliance Officer, at 1-800-533-9337 or send an email to compliance@thornburg.com. Unified Managed Account (“UMA”) Programs Thornburg offers model portfolios for a fee to UMA Program sponsors. Those UMA Program sponsors use Thornburg’s model portfolios as one input in developing their investment recommendations and managing their clients’ accounts. Thornburg constructs a model portfolio that seeks to resemble the Thornburg investment strategy the sponsor selected. Thornburg’s recommendations to UMA Programs at times will differ from recommendations made to other client accounts. Thornburg provides the UMA Program sponsor with Thornburg’s recommendations as to the securities and other property to be purchased, sold and held in the model portfolio, as well as the percentage of the model portfolio that would be invested in each security or other property. Thornburg provides this information to the UMA Program sponsor in accordance with procedures described in “Trade Rotation” under Item 12, Brokerage Practices, below. UMA Program sponsors typically have sole discretion over their clients’ accounts. Each UMA Program sponsor provides individualized investment advice and portfolio management services to its clients and may or may not decide to implement all of Thornburg’s recommendations as to the securities and other property to be held within an account. Thornburg provides model portfolios to the following UMA Program sponsors: • Folio Dynamix (through Envestnet) • Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC • LPL • Envestnet • Mount Yale • Verdence Capital Advisors, LLC • F/M Acceleration (through Vestmark)

• NewEdge (through Vestmark) • Oppenheimer Asset Management • Dynasty Wealth Management (through

Vestmark) • SMartX Advisory Solutions • Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P.

Other Pooled Investment Vehicles Thornburg is the investment adviser to several pooled investment vehicles with shares or units of participation that are not registered with the SEC. These pooled investment vehicles are limited to certain eligible participants, which depending on the vehicle may include: “accredited investors,” within the meaning under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933; “qualified purchasers,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51) of the 1940 Act; pension, profit-sharing and governmental plans; and certain non-U.S. participants. Minimum investment commitments may be established for investors in a pooled investment vehicle. The managing member of each pooled investment vehicle may, in its sole discretion, permit investments below the minimum amounts set forth in the Organizational Documents of each such pooled investment vehicle.

Unless otherwise noted in the fee schedule under Item 5, or otherwise negotiated by an Institutional Separate Account client, Thornburg typically does not charge a performance fee to clients. Certain private investment funds managed by Thornburg may charge performance fees. Thornburg’s performance fees are intended to comply with the requirements of Thornburg’s investment advisory agreements policy and Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). When Thornburg charges a performance fee, Thornburg has an incentive to maximize gains in that account (and, therefore, maximize its performance fee) by making investments for that account that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of a performance fee. Thornburg also has an incentive to favor accounts for which it charges a performance fee over other types of client accounts, by allocating more profitable investments to performance fee accounts or by devoting more resources toward the management of those accounts. Thornburg seeks to mitigate the

conflicts that may arise from managing accounts that pay a performance fee by monitoring and enforcing its policies and procedures, including those related to investment allocations.

Broker-Dealer Thornburg is the sole member and managing member of Thornburg Securities LLC (“TSL”), a securities broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The primary function of TSL is to serve as distributor of the securities of the Thornburg Mutual Funds. TSL does not execute securities transactions for any customers, including for the accounts of Thornburg’s clients. NFA Exemption Thornburg has filed a notice of eligibility with the National Futures Association ("NFA") claiming an exemption from registration as a commodity pool operator ("CPO") pursuant to Rule 4.5 under the

Commodity Exchange Act, as amended. To qualify for and maintain this exemption, the Firm limits trading in commodity interests so that (i) the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish commodity interest positions do not exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the fund's portfolio, after taking into account unrealized profits and losses on any such positions, or (ii) the aggregate net notional value of commodity interest positions does not exceed 100% of the liquidation value of the fund's portfolio. Thornburg is not registered as a CPO or commodity trading adviser ("CTA") with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), and is not a member of the NFA in those capacities. Clients and prospective investors should be aware that the protections afforded to clients of a registered CPO or CTA are not available with respect to Thornburg’s management of the commodity interest portion of fund assets. Thornburg Bow River Advisers LLC Thornburg is a principal and owns 50% of the voting interest of Thornburg Bow River Advisers LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser with an investment management platform focused primarily on investing in high-yielding fixed and floating rate debt and debt-like investments as well as debt-related warrants and equity co-investments. Hong Kong and UK Affiliates Thornburg owns all the ownership interests of Thornburg Investment Management (Asia) Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“TIM (Asia)”) and Thornburg Investment Management (UK) Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“TIM (UK)”). TIM (Asia) and TIM (UK) were created to perform certain marketing, operations and distribution functions for Thornburg and the Thornburg-advised Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS).

Code of Ethics Thornburg has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) in accordance with rules issued by the SEC under the Advisers Act. The Code of Ethics was adopted with the objective of promoting compliance with applicable laws and regulations and in a manner consistent with our fiduciary status. The Code of Ethics, among other things:

defines conflicts of interest; restricts certain political contributions; prohibits the illegal use of non-public material information about an issuer of securities; restricts the receipt and giving of gifts and entertainment; and restricts other activities Thornburg views as inconsistent with its obligations to its clients.

Thornburg’s Code of Ethics is available on its website at www.thornburg.com under “Corporate Policies” or Thornburg will also provide a copy of the Code of Ethics upon request by calling our Chief Compliance Officer, at 1-800-533-9337 or by sending a written request to Thornburg Investment Management, Inc., Attn: Chief Compliance Officer, 2300 N. Ridgetop Road, Santa Fe, NM 87506 or to compliance@thornburg.com.

Personal Trading Thornburg has also adopted a personal securities transactions policy (the “Personal Securities Policy”) to address potential conflicts that may arise from the personal investment activities of its employees, officers, and members of its board of directors. The Personal Securities Policy has various features, including requirements that certain “access persons” (i.e., persons who may have access to client investment information):

initially (upon hire) and annually thereafter disclose/report all beneficially held: o brokerage accounts; and o “reportable securities,” as defined in the Personal Securities Policy. quarterly disclose/report all transactions in “reportable securities”; pre-clear any personal transaction in a “reportable security,” including any purchase or sale of a “private placement” or an “initial public offering”; and refrain from purchasing or selling securities on Thornburg’s “restricted list” (securities that Thornburg restricts because the firm may possess potentially material, non-public information about the security).

Participation or Interest in Client Transactions Cross-Trading and Principal Transactions Thornburg has established policies and procedures to address potential conflicts of interest that could arise when Thornburg causes one account to sell securities to another account (a “cross-trade”), when Thornburg trades on a principal basis with a client’s account (a “principal trade”), or from the personal investment activities of Thornburg or its employees, officers, or members of its board of directors. Conflicts may arise when Thornburg effects cross-trades or principal trades with or between client accounts because Thornburg could favor itself or one client over another. Conflicts also may arise when a person associated with Thornburg trades ahead of a large transaction in the same security made for client accounts, which causes the market value of the security to increase or decrease and permits the associated person to profit from the price movement. Thornburg has adopted a principal and cross-trading policy to address potential conflicts that might arise from such trades. Among other things, the policy prohibits Thornburg from effecting a principal or cross-trade if one of the clients is an ERISA client and permits Thornburg to effect principal or cross-trades between non-ERISA client accounts subject to certain restrictions, including the requirements that:

all provisions of rule 17a-7 are complied with for certain clients subject to registration under the 1940 Act; each trade is effected at the independently determined current market price of the security; the transaction is consistent with the investment restrictions and guidelines of each participating client; Thornburg receives no compensation for effecting the trade; and the trade is disclosed to the client(s), or in the case of certain trades, including principal trades, consented to in writing by the client.

The policy similarly permits Thornburg to effect cross-trades when one or both clients is a Thornburg Mutual Fund subject to restrictions, including that the trade is effected at the “current market price” determined in accordance with SEC rules and guidance, and no brokerage commission is charged on the trade. Additionally, we execute orders on opposite sides of the market in a manner designed to provide adequate liquidity and market exposure to both orders (“Opposite Direction Trades”) that we do not consider to be cross-trades or principal trades. Opposite Direction Trades will typically be placed with different broker-dealers, which avoids implications of a cross, agency, or principal trade but Opposite Direction Trades may also be placed with the same broker-dealer particularly where that broker-dealer is one of a limited number of broker-dealers who hold or deal in those securities, or placed via electronic trading methods, which may result in the same broker-dealer for both trades. Other Conflicts of Interest Thornburg makes investment decisions and recommendations for client accounts based on investment considerations, including consistency with each client’s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions. In doing so, Thornburg may take investment positions or actions for one or more clients that differ from, or are inconsistent with, positions or actions taken for other clients, including clients with similar or differing investment objectives, mandates, or guidelines. These differing positions or actions may adversely affect, or in some cases benefit, certain clients (including clients that are Thornburg affiliates), in which Thornburg has an interest, or clients that pay higher or performance-based fees. For example, Thornburg may purchase or sell a security for one client account while simultaneously pursuing the same, a different, or potentially opposite investment strategy for another client account. In addition, different Thornburg investment teams may invest client accounts in different parts of an issuer’s capital structure, which may result in actions taken on behalf of one client that are inconsistent with the interests of another client in connection with corporate events such as proxy voting matters or distressed security situations. Thornburg also may establish a short position in a security for one client account while holding a long position in the same security for another client account. Short sales may negatively affect the value of the underlying security. To the extent permitted by applicable law and client guidelines, Thornburg may invest client accounts in securities issued by companies with which Thornburg or its affiliates have material business relationships, including companies that distribute Thornburg products, provide services to Thornburg, or are or are related to Thornburg clients. From time to time, Thornburg personnel may also buy or sell securities that Thornburg has recommended to, or purchased or sold on behalf of, clients. In addition, Thornburg may recommend or transact in securities, including Thornburg-sponsored investment products, in which Thornburg or its personnel have a financial interest. Thornburg also maintains brokerage and trading relationships with broker-dealers that are clients, affiliates of clients, or otherwise have business relationships with Thornburg or its affiliates. All such activities are subject to Thornburg’s Code of Ethics and related policies, as well as applicable provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and other applicable laws and regulations.

As a fiduciary, Thornburg is committed to acting in the best interests of its clients. However, Thornburg’s ability to place or recommend certain transactions may be limited by applicable regulatory requirements and internal policies designed to comply with those requirements. Thornburg may engage third-party vendors to facilitate connectivity with broker-dealers through which client trades are executed. Thornburg may receive payments from, or credits against amounts otherwise owed to, certain vendors, which are based on amounts paid to such vendors by broker-dealers. These payments or credits are not dependent on Thornburg’s trading activity for any particular client account. Thornburg’s selection of broker-dealers is based on considerations of best execution and is not influenced by these arrangements.

Selection of Broker-Dealers to Execute Transactions in Client Accounts Thornburg generally has the discretionary authority to select broker-dealers to execute investment purchase and sale transactions for client accounts. Clients may seek to limit Thornburg’s authority to select broker-dealers, or to direct Thornburg to use a particular broker-dealer, but in any such instance Thornburg may determine not to accept a client’s engagement or to terminate an existing advisory agreement. See “Directed Brokerage in Wrap Program Accounts”; “Other Client Directed Brokerage”; and “Additional Aspects of Directed Brokerage—Clients Subject to ERISA,” below. Thornburg maintains a list of approved equity broker-dealers. Thornburg reevaluates broker-dealers on the list to confirm that they continue to provide satisfactory trade execution services, and Thornburg may add or remove broker-dealers to or from its list. Certain broker-dealers or their affiliates that provide trade execution services may also act as an “authorized participant,” an entity that is authorized by the ETF distributor to create and redeem shares of the ETF, and/or provide market making services for the ETF Trust. Thornburg seeks to obtain the best available price and most favorable execution in placing orders for the execution of transactions for client accounts. “Best available price and most favorable execution” means, for this purpose, “best execution,” or the execution of a particular transaction at the price and commission that provides the most favorable total cost or proceeds reasonably obtainable under the circumstances. Thornburg pursues this objective by placing orders in accordance with its best execution policies, except as clients may otherwise direct. Thornburg selects broker-dealers based upon a variety of factors, which include:

commission rates; execution capability; responsiveness; willingness to commit capital; creditworthiness and financial stability; clearance and settlement capability; and provision of research and other brokerage services to Thornburg.

Transactions may not always be executed at the lowest available price or commission; no assurance can be given that best execution will be achieved for each client transaction.

Research and Other Benefits Paid for Using Client Commissions (“Soft Dollars”) Thornburg generally has the authority to cause a client account to pay a broker-dealer a commission higher than the commission another broker-dealer might have charged for executing the same transaction (a practice commonly referred to as “paying up”), in recognition of the value of the brokerage and research products and services the broker-dealer provides to Thornburg. The brokerdealer may provide these products or services directly or may purchase them from a third party for Thornburg. Thornburg is in effect paying for the brokerage and research products and services with client commissions - so-called “soft dollars.” When Thornburg uses client commissions to pay for research or other products and services, it receives a benefit because it does not have to produce or pay for the research, products, or services. Thornburg has an incentive to select or recommend a broker-dealer based on its interest in receiving the research or other products or services, rather than on its clients’ interest in receiving most favorable execution. Thornburg uses soft dollar benefits to service all of its clients’ accounts, and a particular account may not benefit from services Thornburg purchased with soft dollars generated from transactions for that account. Thornburg does not attempt to track or allocate the benefits of research or brokerage services it receives proportionately to the soft dollar credits the accounts generate. Types of research and brokerage services Thornburg received in the previous calendar year included, but were not limited to:

information and analyses relative to the economy, industries or specific companies; technical and quantitative information about the markets; research reports on companies, industries, and securities; access to securities and industry analysts and corporate executives; financial publications; proxy analysis; trade industry seminars; access to computer databases; order routing and quotation services; and other brokerage and research services.

Thornburg seeks to address any potential conflict of interest by adopting policies and procedures for best execution and the use of client commissions to obtain research and brokerage services. When selecting broker-dealers that provide research or brokerage services to Thornburg, it is Thornburg’s policy to determine, among other matters, that:

the research or brokerage service is an eligible service defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; the service provides lawful and appropriate assistance to Thornburg in the performance of its investment management decisions; and the commissions paid (as broadly defined by the SEC to include a markup, markdown, commission equivalent or other fee in certain circumstances) for client transactions are reasonable in relation to the value of the research or brokerage provided.

In making these determinations, Thornburg does not attempt to assign a specific dollar value to the research or brokerage services provided and may evaluate the reasonableness of commissions in terms of the particular transaction or in view of Thornburg’s overall service to clients. When Thornburg determines that it has received research or brokerage services that fulfill these requirements, but that are combined with non-research or brokerage services, Thornburg determines the portion that it believes represents non-qualifying products or services and pays for the nonqualifying portion from its own resources. Thornburg also participates in so-called “commission sharing arrangements” under which Thornburg receives credits from a broker-dealer that executes transactions for client accounts. Thornburg uses these credits to purchase research services from the broker-dealer, or other broker-dealers or financial services firms that provide research. Thornburg does not use these credits to purchase services that are not in its view fully eligible under applicable regulatory interpretations. Thornburg believes these arrangements facilitate best execution of client transactions and are useful in its investment decision-making process by improving access to a wider variety of research resources. Thornburg’s Best Execution Committee and other personnel evaluate Thornburg’s use of client commissions to purchase research and brokerage services. The Best Execution Committee provides a quarterly forum to review equity and fixed income trading activities on behalf of client accounts. Equity and fixed income trading are also monitored by Abel Noser and those reports are reviewed by the Committee. Relevant topics discussed include broker commissions, new approved brokers and suspension of brokers, trade analysis, allocation of new issues, best execution and the use of commissions for research. The Committee has representation from trading, portfolio management, operations and compliance. Directed Brokerage in Wrap Programs Sponsors of wrap programs typically charge a fee that covers the costs of executing equity transactions when the sponsor executes the transaction. Trades not executed by the program sponsor are referred to as “step-out” trades and the client will pay a separate commission or fee for that trade. A Wrap Program client should confer with the program’s sponsor and refer to the Wrap Program’s Form ADV brochure for additional information about step-out trades. Thornburg “steps-out” some trades on both non-U.S. exchanges and U.S. exchanges. Thornburg believes that when it “steps-out” trades, it can obtain better execution by aggregating these “stepout” trades in different Wrap Programs and placing a single trade directly with one broker-dealer. Because Thornburg will trade away from program sponsors for some trades, Wrap Program clients will pay trading costs that are in addition to the fee they pay to their program sponsor. The additional costs include the executing broker-dealer’s trade commission and, for “step-out” trades on non-U.S. exchanges, the costs to buy or sell foreign currency to settle the transaction, the American Depositary Receipts (“ADR”) conversion fee, and other ADR-related costs. These additional trading costs are reflected in the “net price” clients pay for or receive from the transaction and are not shown in a trade confirmation or account statements. Some sponsors provide information about step-out trades on their websites.

Other Client Directed Brokerage Thornburg may accept a client’s written direction to use a particular broker-dealer as part of the advisory agreement between the client and Thornburg. A client may direct Thornburg to use a particular broker-dealer for a variety of reasons, including:

the client’s relationship with the broker-dealer; the client’s own evaluation of the broker-dealer and the quality of its trade execution; discounts or other benefits the client receives from the broker-dealer; and the existence of a commission recapture program under which the client receives the benefit of rebates or other benefits separately negotiated between the client and the broker-dealer.

Thornburg does not evaluate the client’s determination to direct the use of a particular broker-dealer. When Thornburg is directed to use a particular broker-dealer, it is not able to negotiate commission levels or obtain discounts that otherwise may be available to Thornburg, and the client may not receive the same quality of execution that Thornburg may otherwise be able to obtain. Moreover, when a client directs Thornburg to use a particular broker-dealer, Thornburg may not be able to aggregate the client’s securities transactions with those of other clients, and therefore may not be able to obtain the potential efficiencies available from trade aggregation, unless the directed brokerdealer accepts “step-out” transactions (see discussion of “step-out” transactions in “Directed Brokerage in Wrap Programs,” above). When Thornburg is able to use “step-outs” the client receives the potential benefit of the price Thornburg obtained on the transaction, but the client also may pay an additional fee or commission to the client’s own broker-dealer. Additional Aspects of Directed Brokerage – Clients Subject to ERISA ERISA client accounts that direct Thornburg to use a particular broker-dealer will retain sole responsibility for the determination of whether the directed brokerage arrangement is reasonable in relation to the benefits received by the plan. Trade Rotation Thornburg uses a trade rotation system that is designed to ensure that all accounts that buy or sell a particular security on a single day are treated fairly. Variances in the trade rotation may arise due to various factors, including but not limited to, a client’s cash availability or need, the liquidity of the security being traded, or trading opportunities such as initial public offerings, which are not available to certain types of accounts, including Wrap Program accounts, Private Client Separate Accounts, UMA Program accounts, other accounts deemed to be managed similarly to such accounts, and accounts that are smaller in size or that have certain restrictions. Allocation and Aggregation Thornburg seeks to allocate transactions fairly and equitably among clients. Because it is not always possible to execute a purchase or sale in one transaction, a series of transactions may be executed at different prices over a period of time. In some instances, there may not be enough securities to meet

client demand, such as securities in an initial public offering. Thornburg may aggregate multiple contemporaneous client orders to obtain more favorable pricing and execution. If an aggregated order is effected in multiple trades and at different prices, clients will receive the average weighted price of all such transactions. Equity. When Thornburg cannot buy or sell enough equity securities to meet client demand, it allocates the securities among participating client accounts pro rata. When a new transaction order is placed with Thornburg’s trade desk while there is already a working order for the same security, the working order will be closed, and a new transaction will be opened to include the new order in the allocation. There are exceptions to this practice, including when the new order is not material to the allocation for the existing order. If completed trades for the day for a particular security are not material, trades may be allocated at the discretion of the Portfolio Manager or trader. In unusual or unforeseen circumstances (e.g., account cash requirements), allocations may be different than the procedures outlined above. Thornburg allocates securities purchased in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) on a pro rata basis to participating client accounts based upon the percentage indicated by the portfolio manager of each strategy that Thornburg believes is appropriate for the IPO shares. Participation in IPOs is typically limited to:

Institutional Separate Accounts, Thornburg Mutual Funds, Other Pooled Investment Vehicles, and other accounts that are deemed to be managed similar to such accounts; clients whose investment guidelines do not restrict investment in IPOs; and “qualified institutional buyers,” if the IPO is on a foreign exchange.

As described above in Item 12 under Research and Other Benefits Paid for Using Client Commissions, Thornburg typically receives research and brokerage services from broker-dealers who execute trades for client accounts. Thornburg pays fees to financial intermediaries, advisers, planners and individuals who refer clients to Thornburg, in accordance with applicable law. Thornburg makes payments to certain financial intermediaries for distribution and related marketing support, investor or shareholder servicing, entertainment, training and educational activities, and/or the purchase of products or services from such intermediaries. Thornburg and/or its affiliates also make payments for these purposes in connection with Thornburg mutual funds. The products or services purchased may include analytical software and data. In addition, from time to time, Thornburg may pay for meals, entertainment, and educational meetings with institutional client consultants that may recommend Thornburg’s services to their clients. Thornburg pays compensation (“revenue sharing”) to broker-dealers and other persons who sell shares of the Thornburg Mutual Funds, as described in the Funds’ prospectuses and statements of additional information. Thornburg Securities LLC (“TSL”), the Funds’ underwriter, reimburses Thornburg for some of this compensation, and the Funds also pay TSL, or to such other persons as TSL may direct, pursuant to plans and agreements adopted by the Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Thornburg actively seeks to educate consultants, broker-dealers, and other financial intermediaries (collectively, “Consultants”) about its advisory services. Thornburg sponsors educational events where its representatives meet with Consultants and in some instances their clients. Thornburg pays some of the costs of these events from its own resources. Clients should confer with their Consultant about the payments they receive from Thornburg.

Thornburg makes charitable contributions to organizations associated or affiliated with clients, intermediaries or Consultants, and provides entertainment and gives gifts to intermediaries, Consultants or others in the process of soliciting new business and providing services to existing clients, in compliance with its Code of Ethics and regulatory limits

Not applicable. Thornburg is not aware of any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of Thornburg or the integrity of Thornburg’s management.

Reviews Members of the Compliance Department, Investment Operations Department, and/or the Portfolio Management team conduct periodic reviews of each account for adherence to investment strategy and to confirm that account performance is consistent with any model portfolio or client guidelines. Reviews are also conducted no less often than quarterly on an indirect basis by monitoring each investment strategy model. Reviewers typically include the Chief Compliance Officer (or designee), the Director of Investment Operations (or designee), Portfolio Managers, Associate Portfolio Managers and Traders. The frequency, interval and scope of these reviews for each account are dependent upon a number of factors, including but not limited to:

contributions or withdrawals of cash from an account; change in the investment restrictions, investment objectives or, for institutional accounts, the investment policy; client requests such as tax-loss harvesting; questions regarding performance or structure; and requirements that could be imposed by court order or by regulator (e.g., SEC, Department of Labor, etc.).

The Compliance Department also uses an automated order management system to perform a daily review of client accounts to ensure portfolio level compliance (e.g., industry/sector weights, adherence to investment guidelines, etc.). In addition, the Portfolio Managers and research analysts at Thornburg monitor markets, world and economic events, and securities held in accounts managed by Thornburg. This function provides each client account or portfolio with an indirect and recurring portfolio review. Clients should contact Thornburg if any changes occur in their financial situations that may affect Thornburg’s management of their account. Regular Reports Institutional Separate Accounts. Thornburg offers to provide each account with a quarterly portfolio report. The details may include:

cash balances; type, name and amount of each security; portfolio weighting of each security; account performance (based upon Thornburg’s independent valuations – separate from the client’s custodian); current market value of the portfolio; and

transactions during the report period.

These materials are provided in addition to the confirmations of transactions and custodial reports the client receives from its custodian. Wrap Program and Private Client Separate Accounts. Thornburg generally does not provide reports to Wrap Program or Private Client Separate Account clients. Wrap Program clients should expect to receive reports from the sponsor of their program. Private Client Separate Account clients should expect to receive reports from their financial intermediary. Thornburg Mutual Funds, Thornburg ETFs, TBLD, and TGI. Thornburg provides reports to the Trustees of the Thornburg Mutual Funds, the Thornburg ETFs, and TBLD, and the Directors of TGI, at least four times in each calendar year. Reports to shareholders are issued in accordance with the prospectuses of each fund. Other Pooled Investment Vehicles. The custodian or fund administrator delivers to each investor periodic reports.

Thornburg does not maintain physical custody of client funds or securities. Because of certain arrangements, Thornburg may be considered to have “custody” of client accounts under Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act solely due to Thornburg’s ability to deduct fees directly from client accounts pursuant to written authorization provided by the client. In those instances, the account custodian will send clients quarterly statements showing account balances and transactions. Clients should review these statements carefully, contact us if they do not receive them at least quarterly, and promptly report any discrepancies between custodian statements and any reports we provide. Thornburg may also be deemed to have “custody” because of its role as the managing member of pooled investment vehicles. Thornburg compliance with the Custody Rule with respect to pooled investment vehicles by subjecting each vehicle to an annual audit and providing each investor in the fund with audited financial statements that comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting practices (“GAAP Audits”) within 120 days following the Fund’s fiscal year end. Thornburg takes reasonable steps to avoid receiving unintentional custody of client assets such as checks from third parties to clients.

Thornburg provides discretionary investment portfolio management services to its clients other than UMA sponsors. This means that Thornburg has the authority to purchase or sell securities for a client’s account and determine the amount of the securities to purchase or sell, without obtaining the client’s consent to the transactions. Thornburg may purchase or sell investments in a client’s account whenever Thornburg believes it is prudent to do so and without regard to the length of time the investments have been held. Transactions may result in taxable gains or losses in a client’s account and may result in the payment of commissions and other transaction costs. In particular, Thornburg’s “stepped-out” trades for Wrap Programs and certain other accounts where a sponsor imposes fixed or minimum transaction fees, will cause clients to pay additional costs. Clients may limit or restrict Thornburg’s management of their accounts. However, Thornburg reserves the right not to enter into a contract with a prospective client, or to terminate an agreement with an existing client, if the proposed limitation or restriction is likely, in Thornburg’s opinion, to impair its ability to provide services to a client or is otherwise administratively or practically not feasible. Examples of limitations and restrictions that Thornburg has accepted in the past (but may not accept in the future) include directions not to invest in a certain type of company or industry. Clients must deliver all such requests to Thornburg in writing and requests will not be effective or implemented until Thornburg accepts them in writing. When Thornburg buys or sells foreign securities, it must pay or accept the local currency and then convert the local currency, as well as the income and dividends, to the base currency of the account. Thornburg, the client’s custodian, or a third-party facility will perform these currency conversions.

The client’s consent is typically required before Thornburg will use a third party for foreign currency transactions. While Thornburg will monitor the reasonableness of a third party’s foreign currency transactions, it is the client’s decision to use the custodian or a third party for foreign currency transactions. Additionally, Thornburg assumes no responsibility for a third party or custodian’s execution or oversight of foreign currency transactions.

Thornburg accepts authority to vote proxies on behalf of its clients in most, but not all client accounts. When Thornburg has the authority (which will be set forth in the client’s agreement with Thornburg), Thornburg will follow its written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”). The Proxy Policy states that proxies are an asset of the account and are to be voted to enhance the value of the security or to reduce the potential for a decline in the value of a security. The Proxy Policy authorizes Thornburg to delegate certain functions to service providers. Thornburg currently contracts with a third-party service provider to provide guidance on specific votes, recommend votes, and vote proxies on behalf of Thornburg. Thornburg will not be able to vote proxies when the proxy materials are delivered late or without enough advance notice for Thornburg to evaluate the issues and cast the votes. Thornburg does not control the setting of record dates, shareholder meeting dates, or the timing or manner of distribution of proxy materials and ballots relating to shareholder votes. In addition, administrative matters beyond Thornburg’s control may at times prevent Thornburg from voting proxies in certain non-U.S. markets. Conflicts can arise between Thornburg’s interest and the interest of clients. For example, Thornburg may have an investment management agreement with a company whose shares are held by client accounts, and a conflict arises if Thornburg is to vote proxies on those shares. When Thornburg believes that a proxy vote involves an actual conflict of interest, and the vote relates to the election of a director in an uncontested election or ratification of selection of independent accountants, Thornburg votes in accordance with the recommendation of its proxy voting service. If no recommendation is available, or if the proxy vote involves other matters, the Portfolio Manager informs the client of the conflict and refers the matter to the client for a decision. Thornburg may decline to vote in a number of situations, including when an issue is not relevant to the Proxy Policy’s voting objective or where Thornburg believes it is not possible to ascertain what effect a vote may have on the value of an investment (e.g., social issues) or where costs are prohibitive (e.g., foreign issuers). For example, proxy voting in certain countries requires “share blocking.” During the share blocking period, shares that will be voted at a meeting may not be sold until the meeting has taken place and the shares are returned to the client’s custodian bank. Thornburg may choose not to vote in a share blocking market if Thornburg believes that the benefit of being able to sell the shares during the blocking period outweighs the benefit of voting. In addition, certain non-U.S. markets require that Thornburg deliver a power of attorney authorizing a local agent to carry out Thornburg’s voting instructions or comply with other administrative requirements. While Thornburg may seek to provide the required power of attorney and otherwise comply with imposed requirements, Thornburg may at times be unable to do so in a timely manner, which may prevent it from voting client shares.

You may request a complete copy of Thornburg’s Proxy Policy by calling our Chief Compliance Officer, at 1-800-533-9337 or by sending a written request to Thornburg Investment Management, Attn: Chief Compliance Officer, 2300 N. Ridgetop Road, Santa Fe, NM 87506 or to compliance@thornburg.com. Class Action Suits and Other Legal Proceedings Unless otherwise arranged pursuant to an agreement with a client, Thornburg is not obligated to, and typically does not, file claims or make decisions on a client’s behalf in legal proceedings (including bankruptcies and class actions) relating to securities held or formerly held in a client’s account. If Thornburg receives a class action notification or proof-of-claim form, it will forward such materials if the client has instructed it to do so. The client should (i) ensure that its custodian is capable of filing, and has the proper authorization to file, proofs of claim on the client’s behalf and (ii) determine whether and how to file a request for exclusion from a particular class action settlement.

Not applicable. Thornburg does not require or solicit prepayment of any fees from clients. Thornburg knows of no financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients and has never been the subject of a bankruptcy petition.
