Top contributors to performance:
|
|
|
↑
|
Micron Technology, in the IT sector, designs, develops, manufactures, and sells memory and storage products worldwide. The stock rose due to continued accelerating artificial intelligence (AI)-driven memory demand, industry reports showing constrained DRAM and NAND supply and investor optimism.
|
|
↑
|
Talen Energy, in the utilities sector, is an independent power producer primarily serving the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland region. The company's share price rose following the announcement of a power purchase agreement with Amazon, largely seen as supportive of Talen's nuclear strategy, and announced plans to acquire two gas power plants that are expected to further bolster the company's market position and free cash flow.
|
|
↑
|
Elanco Animal Health, in the health care sector, is an animal health company, which manufactures parasiticides and vaccines products for pets and farm animals worldwide. The company's stock rose thanks to accelerating organic growth driven by strong innovation (notably blockbuster launches like Credelio Quattro and Zenrelia) and improved financial discipline including debt reduction and an upgraded full-year outlook.
|
|
Top detractors from performance:
|
|
|
↓
|
Venture Global, in the energy sector, engages in the development, construction, and production of natural gas liquefaction and export projects. The stock declined after management proved too aggressive in seeking a premium valuation during the IPO process, a dynamic exacerbated by better European gas storage and resulting decline in forward liquified natural gas (LNG) pricing expectations.
|
|
↓
|
Fluence Energy, in the energy sector, provides renewable energy storage products and services. The company's share price declined following the U.S. presidential election due to concerns that the incoming administration, along with Republican control of both the House and Senate, could result in attempts to overturn the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and a potential loss of funding and tax credits for renewable energy projects.
|
|
↓
|
Fiserv, in the information technology sector, provides payment and financial services technology. The company's share price fell after reporting several disappointing quarterly results, missing earnings expectations, cutting full-year guidance and announcing a leadership shake-up, which raised investor concerns about growth and execution.

There were no other non-audit services rendered by the Auditor to the Service Affiliates requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee in the Reporting Periods.
(e) Audit Committee's pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c) (7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(1) The Charter for the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of each registered investment company (the "Fund") advised by the Registrant's investment manager or one of their affiliates (each, an "Adviser") requires that the Committee shall approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund's independent auditors to the Adviser and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund ("Covered Service Providers") if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee.
The Committee shall not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may impair the independence of the auditors. As of the date of the approval of this Audit Committee Charter, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services), that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.
Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and the Covered Service Providers constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided to (a) the Fund, (b) the Adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.
(2) None of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item were performed in reliance on paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) Non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant and the Service Affiliates during the reporting period were $842,539 in October 31, 2024 and $890,363 in October 31, 2025.
(h) Yes. The Registrant's Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates, which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval), is compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence. All services provided by the Auditor to the Registrant or to the Service Affiliates, which were required to be pre-approved, were pre-approved as required.

expenses, other than interest, brokerage commissions, dividend expense on short sales, taxes, extraordinary
expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets of Class A shares did not exceed 1.01%.
