Board Leadership Structure

The Board is responsible for supervising the management of the Trust. The Board currently consists of four Trustees, all of whom are not "interested persons" of the Trust or the Adviser, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"). The Chairperson of the Board is an Independent Trustee elected by a majority of the Trustees currently in office. As discussed below, the Board has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The Board believes its leadership structure, in which the Chairperson of the Board is not affiliated with the Adviser, is appropriate, in light of the services that the Adviser provides to the Trust and potential conflicts of interest that could arise from these relationships.

Qualifications of Trustees

In addition to the information about the Trustees provided in the table above, the following is a brief discussion of some of the specific experiences, qualifications, attributes, and/or skills of each Trustee that support the Board's belief, as of the date of this SAI that he or she should serve as a Trustee of the Trust. The Board believes that the significance of each Trustee's experience, qualifications, attributes, or skills is an individual matter (meaning that experience that is important for one Trustee may not have the same value for another Trustee) and that these factors are best evaluated at the Board level, with no single Trustee, or particular factor, being indicative of Board effectiveness. However, the Board believes that the Trustees need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question, and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Trust management, service providers, and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties. The Board believes that the Trustees satisfy this standard. Experience relevant to having this ability may be achieved through a Trustee's educational background; business, professional training or practice, public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member (including the Board of the Trust) or as an executive of investment funds, public companies, or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences. The charter for the Board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee contains certain other factors considered by the Committee in identifying and evaluating potential Trustee nominees. To assist the Board in evaluating matters under federal and state law, the Trustees are counseled by their own independent legal counsel, who participates in Board meetings and interacts with the Adviser, and also may benefit from information provided by the Trust's and the Adviser's counsel; both Board and Trust counsel have significant experience advising funds and fund board members. The Board and its committees have the ability to engage other experts as appropriate. The Board evaluates its performance on an annual basis.

Additional information regarding the general characteristics considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board in recommending a Trustee, and any potential nominee to serve as Trustee, may be found below under "Board Committees."

Board Committees

Ms. Cepeda, Ms. Schneider, Mr. Ubiñas and Ms. Steel sit on the Trust's Audit Committee, and Ms. Steel serves as Chairperson of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has the responsibility, among other things, to: (i) oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Trust and to receive reports regarding its internal control over financial reporting; (ii) oversee the quality and integrity of each Fund's financial statements and the independent audit(s) thereof; (iii) oversee or assist Board oversight of the Trust's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements relating to the Trust's accounting and financial reporting and independent audits; (iv) approve, prior to appointment, the engagement of the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm, and review and evaluate the qualifications, independence, and performance of the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm; and (v) act as a liaison between the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm and the full Board. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Audit Committee met four times.

Ms. Cepeda, Ms. Schneider, Mr. Ubiñas and Ms. Steel sit on the Trust's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Ms. Schneider serves as Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the responsibility, among other things, to: (i) make recommendations and to consider shareholder recommendations for nominations for Trustees; (ii) periodically review Independent Trustee compensation and recommend any changes to the Independent Trustees as a group; and (iii) make recommendations to the full Board for nominations for membership on all committees, review all committee assignments, and periodically review the responsibilities and need for all committees of the Board.

While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is solely responsible for the recommendation of Trustee candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider nominees recommended by Fund shareholders. The Nominating and

Corporate Governance Committee will consider recommendations for nominees from shareholders sent to the Secretary of the Trust, c/o Mercer Investments LLC, 99 High Street, Boston, MA 02110. A nomination submission must include all information relating to the recommended nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations or proxy statements for the election of Trustees, as well as information sufficient to evaluate the individual's qualifications. Nomination submissions must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected by the shareholders. In addition, a nominee must provide such additional information as reasonably requested by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

In evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as a Trustee of the Trust (including any nominees recommended by shareholders), the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board considers, among other factors that the Committee may deem appropriate and relevant:

· the character and integrity of the person;
· whether or not the person is qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Trustee of the Trust;
· with respect to service as an Independent Trustee, whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence in serving on the Board such as any business, financial, or family relationships with Trust management, the Adviser and the Subadvisers, Trust service providers, or their affiliates;
· whether the nomination of the person would be consistent with Trust policy and applicable laws and regulations regarding the number and percentage of the Independent Trustees on the Board;
· the person's judgment, skill and experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity, and size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight;
· whether or not the person serves on the boards of trustees, or is otherwise affiliated with, other financial service organizations or those organizations' mutual fund complexes;
· whether or not the person is willing to serve and is willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties and responsibilities of a Trustee of the Trust;
· the educational background; business, professional training or practice (e.g., medicine, accounting or law), public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member (including the Board) or as an executive of investment funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and
· whether the Committee believes the person has the ability to exercise effective business judgment and would act in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also may consider whether a potential nominee's professional experience, education, skills and other individual qualities and attributes would provide added skills, experiences or perspectives to the Board's membership.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also may establish specific requirements and/or additional factors to be considered for Board candidates as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met two times.

Board's Role in Risk Oversight

The Board does not have a direct role in the day-to-day risk management of the Trust. Rather, the Board's role in the management of the Trust is oversight. As is the case with virtually all investment companies (as distinguished from operating companies), service providers to the Trust, primarily the Adviser, its affiliates, and the Subadvisers, have responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Funds, which includes responsibility for risk management (including management of investment performance and investment risk, valuation risk, liquidity risk, issuer and counterparty credit risk, compliance risk, and operational risk). As part of its oversight, the Board or the Chairperson regularly interacts with and receives reports from senior personnel of the Trust's service providers, including the Adviser's Chief Investment Officer (or a senior representative of her office), the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer, and the Subadvisers' portfolio management personnel. The Audit Committee, which oversees the financial reporting of the Trust and its service providers, meets in scheduled meetings with the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm and the Trust's Chief Financial Officer, with which the Audit Committee Chairperson maintains contact between Committee meetings. The Board also receives periodic presentations from senior personnel of the Adviser (including the LRC and derivatives risk management committee), or its affiliates, and the Subadvisers regarding risk management generally, as well as periodic presentations regarding specific operational, compliance, or investment areas, such as business continuity, anti-money laundering, personal trading, valuation, liquidity, credit, investment research, securities lending and derivatives. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to address certain risks to the Funds. In addition, the Adviser and other service providers to the Funds have adopted a variety of policies, procedures, and controls designed to address particular risks to the Funds. Different processes, procedures, and controls are employed with respect to different types of risks. However, it is not possible to eliminate all of the risks applicable to the Trust. The Board also receives reports from counsel to the Trust or counsel to the Adviser and the Board's own independent legal counsel regarding regulatory compliance and governance matters. The Board's oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the Trust's investments or activities.

1 Eva De La Rosa and Stephen Gouthro became Trustees of the Trust on June 15, 2026 and therefore did not receive compensation during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

No officer of the Trust who is also an officer or employee of the Adviser receives any compensation from the Trust for services to the Trust. Effective January 1, 2026, the Trust pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer of $150,000. In addition, the Trust pays the Chairperson of the Board $40,000 per year, the Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee $17,000 per year, and the Chairperson of the Audit Committee $17,000 per year. The Trust also pays each Independent Trustee $11,250 per regular in-person Board meeting attended, $10,000 per ad-hoc in-person Board meeting attended, and $5,000 per ad-hoc telephonic Board meeting attended. Each member of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee additionally receives $6,000 and $5,000, respectively, per Committee meeting attended.

2. The second, third and fourth paragraphs of the "Investment Adviser" section on page 37 of the SAI is deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

The Adviser provides investment advisory services to each Fund pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, dated July 1, 2026, as may be amended, between the Trust and the Adviser (the "Management Agreement"). Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Trust employs the Adviser generally to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Funds. In so doing, the Adviser may hire one or more Subadvisers for each Fund to carry out the investment program of the Fund (subject to the approval of the Board). The Adviser continuously monitors each Subadviser's management of the relevant Funds' investment operations in accordance with the investment objectives and related policies of the relevant Funds, and, (where appropriate) administers the investment programs of the Funds. The Adviser furnishes periodic reports to the Board regarding the investment programs and performance of the Funds.

The Adviser is responsible for paying its expenses. The Trust pays the following expenses: the maintenance of its corporate existence; the maintenance of its books, records, and procedures; dealing with shareholders of the Funds; the payment of dividends; transfer of stock, including issuance, redemption, and repurchase of shares; preparation and filing of such forms as may be required by the various jurisdictions in which the Funds' shares may be sold; preparation, printing, and mailing of reports and notices to shareholders; calling and holding of shareholders' meetings; miscellaneous office expenses; brokerage commissions; custodian fees; legal and accounting fees; taxes; state and federal registration fees; and the fees and expenses related to the Trust's (not the Adviser's) compliance program.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee for managing the Fund's investments that is calculated as a percentage of the Fund's assets under management. For its investment services, the Adviser receives the annual investment management fees, set forth below as a percentage of the relevant Fund's average daily net assets:

3. The following paragraph is added to the "Administrative, Accounting, and Custody Services" section on page 43 of the SAI:

Administrative Services. The Adviser provides certain non-advisory services to the Funds under a Legal and Treasury Administrative Services Agreement (the "Administrative Services Agreement"). The Administrative Services Agreement includes certain services relating to legal services, legal administration services, preparing Board meeting materials, procurement of insurance coverage, among other services. In consideration of the services to be rendered by the Adviser pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, the Fund will pay the Adviser an amount equal to the Adviser's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in providing such services, but in no case will such compensation exceed the annual rate of 0.01% (one basis point) of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Funds did not pay any fees under the Administrative Services Agreement for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2024 or 2025.
