7.B.(1) of Schedule D of its Form ADV (e.g., if you are a subadviser), do not complete Section 7.B.(1) of Schedule D with respect to that private fund. You must,
instead, complete Section 7.B.(2) of Schedule D.
In either case, if you seek to preserve the anonymity of a private fund client by maintaining its identity in your books and records in numerical or alphabetical
code, or similar designation, pursuant to rule 204-2(d), you may identify the private fund in Section 7.B.(1) or 7.B.(2) of Schedule D using the same code or
designation in place of the fund's name.

(a) cash or bank accounts?
(b) securities?
If you are registering or registered with the SEC, answer "No" to Item 9.A.(1)(a) and (b) if you have custody solely because (i) you deduct your advisory fees

an internal control report. (If you checked Item 9.C.(2), you do not have to list auditor information in Section 9.C. of Schedule D if you already provided this
information with respect to the private funds you advise in Section 7.B.(1) of Schedule D).
D. Do you or your related person(s) act as qualified custodians for your clients in connection with advisory services you provide to clients? Yes No

Item 11 Disclosure Information
In this Item, we ask for information about your disciplinary history and the disciplinary history of all your advisory affiliates. We use this information to
determine whether to grant your application for registration, to decide whether to revoke your registration or to place limitations on your activities as an
investment adviser, and to identify potential problem areas to focus on during our on-site examinations. One event may result in "yes" answers to more than
one of the questions below. In accordance with General Instruction 5 to Form ADV, "you" and "your" include the filing adviser and all relying advisers under an
umbrella registration.
Your advisory affiliates are: (1) all of your current employees (other than employees performing only clerical, administrative, support or similar functions); (2) all
of your officers, partners, or directors (or any person performing similar functions); and (3) all persons directly or indirectly controlling you or controlled by you.
If you are a "separately identifiable department or division" (SID) of a bank, see the Glossary of Terms to determine who your advisory affiliates are.
If you are registered or registering with the SEC or if you are an exempt reporting adviser, you may limit your disclosure of any event listed in Item 11 to ten years
following the date of the event. If you are registered or registering with a state, you must respond to the questions as posed; you may, therefore, limit your
disclosure to ten years following the date of an event only in responding to Items 11.A.(1), 11.A.(2), 11.B.(1), 11.B.(2), 11.D.(4), and 11.H.(1)(a). For purposes of
calculating this ten-year period, the date of an event is the date the final order, judgment, or decree was entered, or the date any rights of appeal from preliminary
orders, judgments, or decrees lapsed.

Item 12 Small Businesses
The SEC is required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act to consider the effect of its regulations on small entities. In order to do this, we need to determine
whether you meet the definition of "small business" or "small organization" under rule 0-7.
Answer this Item 12 only if you are registered or registering with the SEC and you indicated in response to Item 5.F.(2)(c) that you have regulatory assets
under management of less than $25 million. You are not required to answer this Item 12 if you are filing for initial registration as a state adviser, amending a
current state registration, or switching from SEC to state registration.
For purposes of this Item 12 only:
Total Assets refers to the total assets of a firm, rather than the assets managed on behalf of clients. In determining your or another person's total
assets, you may use the total assets shown on a current balance sheet (but use total assets reported on a consolidated balance sheet with
subsidiaries included, if that amount is larger).
Control means the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a person, whether through ownership of securities, by
contract, or otherwise. Any person that directly or indirectly has the right to vote 25 percent or more of the voting securities, or is entitled to 25 percent
or more of the profits, of another person is presumed to control the other person.
Yes No
A. Did you have total assets of $5 million or more on the last day of your most recent fiscal year?
If "yes," you do not need to answer Items 12.B. and 12.C.
B. Do you:
(1) control another investment adviser that had regulatory assets under management (calculated in response to Item 5.F.(2)(c) of Form ADV)
of $25 million or more on the last day of its most recent fiscal year?
(2) control another person (other than a natural person) that had total assets of $5 million or more on the last day of its most recent fiscal
year?
C. Are you:
(1) controlled by or under common control with another investment adviser that had regulatory assets under management (calculated in
response to Item 5.F.(2)(c) of Form ADV) of $25 million or more on the last day of its most recent fiscal year?
(2) controlled by or under common control with another person (other than a natural person) that had total assets of $5 million or more on the
last day of its most recent fiscal year?
Schedule A
Direct Owners and Executive Officers

ON JUNE 24, 2021, NATIXIS SA ("NATIXIS"), THE FRENCH BANK THAT OWNS OUR PARENT COMPANY, WAS FOUND GUILTY BY A FRENCH CRIMINAL
COURT (TRIBUNAL CORRECTIONNEL DE PARIS) OF COMMUNICATING MISLEADING INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC, BASED ON LANGUAGE REGARDING
NATIXIS' EXPOSURE TO THE SUB-PRIME CRISIS IN A 2007 PRESS RELEASE. THE FRENCH COURT ORDERED NATIXIS TO PAY A FINE OF EUR 7.5 MILLION.
IN ADDITION, THE COURT AWARDED JUST UNDER EUR 2 MILLION TO CERTAIN PLAINTIFFS THAT HAD IN 2009 REQUESTED THE OPENING OF THE
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. NO OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES OF NATIXIS OR OF ITS AFFILIATES WERE CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH THE
PROCEEDING. ON JUNE 25, 2021, NATIXIS FILED A TIMELY APPEAL TO THE PARIS COURT OF APPEAL (COUR D'APPEL DE PARIS). UNDER APPEAL, THE
CASE WAS ENTIRELY REEXAMINED ON MATTERS OF BOTH FACTS AND LAW. ON MAY 7, 2024, NATIXIS WAS FOUND GUILTY BY THE PARIS COURT OF
APPEAL. THE COURT REDUCED THE CRIMINAL FINE AGAINST NATIXIS TO EUR 2 MILLION. THE COURT AWARDED APPROXIMATELY EUR 2 MILLION IN
PRIVATE CIVIL DAMAGES TO CERTAIN PLAINTIFFS, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN PAID BY NATIXIS AFTER THE FIRST INSTANCE
DECISION. THE PRESS RELEASE IN QUESTION WAS ISSUED BY NATIXIS IN NOVEMBER 2007 AT THE START OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS. AT ISSUE IN THE
CRIMINAL PROCEEDING WAS A SHORT PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE, RELATING TO NATIXIS' EXPOSURE TO THE SUBPRIME CRISIS AND RELATED
RISKS. NEITHER THE PREVIOUS NOR THE SUBSEQUENT COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ISSUER RELATING TO THE SUBPRIME CRISIS WERE FOUND TO BE
MISLEADING BY THE PARIS COURT OF APPEAL. THE CONVICTION RESULTED FROM AN INVESTIGATION LAUNCHED IN 2009 BY THE PARIS PUBLIC
PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE INTO A COMPLAINT FILED BY CERTAIN MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS OF NATIXIS COORDINATED BY THE ASSOCIATION TO DEFEND
MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS (ASSOCIATION DE DÉFENSE DES ACTIONNAIRES MINORITAIRES ADAM), WHICH ARE THE PLAINTIFFS THAT
RECEIVED THE APPROXIMATELY EUR 2 MILLION AWARD REFERENCED ABOVE. THE ASPECTS OF THE PRESS RELEASE CONSIDERED BY THE CRIMINAL
COURT HAD BEEN INDEPENDENTLY ASSESSED BY NATIXIS' PRIMARY REGULATOR, THE FRENCH FINANCIAL MARKETS AUTHORITY (THE AUTORITÉ DES
MARCHÉS FINANCIERS OR "AMF"), WHICH DECLINED TO TAKE ANY ACTION AGAINST NATIXIS. THE PRESS RELEASE IN QUESTION DID NOT RELATE TO
ANY OF NATIXIS' SUBSIDIARY BUSINESSES ENGAGED IN ADVISORY OR BROKER-DEALER ACTIVITIES. NATIXIS CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN THAT THE
INFORMATION IT DISSEMINATED IN THE PRESS RELEASE IN QUESTION WAS APPROPRIATE TO THE SITUATION. THE PRESS RELEASE WAS ISSUED AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE SUBPRIME CRISIS WHEN THE EXTENT AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE CRISIS WERE NOT YET WIDELY UNDERSTOOD EITHER BY
MARKET PARTICIPANTS OR BY REGULATORS. MOREOVER, AT THE TIME OF THE PRESS RELEASE, NATIXIS WAS VERY RECENTLY CREATED AND STILL IN
THE COURSE OF A MERGER. THE COURT OF APPEAL RECOGNIZED SUCH DIFFICULT CONTEXT AS A FACTOR REDUCING THE BANK'S LIABILITY. NATIXIS
FILED AN APPEAL BEFORE THE FRENCH SUPREME COURT (COUR DE CASSATION) WHICH WAS REJECTED. UNDER FRENCH LAW, OTHER THAN THE
IMPOSITION OF THE MONETARY FINE, THERE ARE NO LEGAL CONSEQUENCES TO NATIXIS OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR A GUILTY VERDICT IN THIS CASE.

THE COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION ISSUED AN ORDER FILING AND SETTLING CHARGES AGAINST NATIXIS, A GLOBAL BANK AND SWAP
DEALER, FOR FAILURE TO DILIGENTLY SUPERVISE TWO TRADERS ON THE BANK'S NEW YORK-BASED INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES DESK (IRD DESK) AND
ITS EQUITY DERIVATIVES FLOW AND SOLUTION TRADING DESK (FAST DESK). THE TRADERS ON THE IRD DESK AND FAST DESK SEPARATELY ENGAGED IN
MISCONDUCT BY MISMARKING THEIR POSITIONS FOR THE PURPOSE OF EITHER INFLATING PROFITS AND MINIMIZING LOSSES, OR TO "SMOOTH" OUT
RETURNS, RESPECTIVELY. THE ORDER REQUIRES NATIXIS TO PAY A $2.8 MILLION CIVIL MONETARY PENALTY, CEASE AND DESIST FROM VIOLATING
APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT (CEA) AND CFTC REGULATIONS, AND COMPLY WITH CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND
UNDERTAKINGS. CASE BACKGROUND BETWEEN JANUARY 2015 AND AT LEAST APRIL 2018, A TRADER ON THE BANK'S IRD DESK SUBMITTED FALSE OR
MISLEADING ENTRIES IN THE BANK'S INTERNAL RECORDKEEPING AND ACCOUNTING SYSTEM RELATING TO THE MARKING OF THE END-OF-DAY USD
LIBOR FORWARD CURVE (CLOSING CURVE), FOR THE PURPOSE OF INFLATING THE UNREALIZED PROFIT AND LOSS (P&L) OF THE DESK HE MANAGED
AND DISGUISING SIGNIFICANT TRADING LOSSES. SPECIFICALLY, THE TRADER ENGAGED IN A PATTERN OF MARKING THE CLOSING CURVE IN A MANNER
THAT VARIED FROM OBSERVED BROKER MID PRICES AND IN A MANNER THAT ALIGNED WITH THE RISK POSITIONS OF THE IRD DESK, WHILE GENERALLY
STAYINGWITHIN THE LIMITS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS DESIGNED TO DETECT MISMARKING. ALTHOUGH NATIXIS MAINTAINED CERTAIN CONTROLS
RELATING TO THE MARKING OF THE CLOSING CURVE, THOSE CONTROLS WERE INSUFFICIENT TO DETECT THE TRADER'S MISCONDUCT FOR OVER THREE
YEARS. AT ITS PEAK IN EARLY 2018, THE TRADER'S MISMARKING OF THE CLOSING CURVE OVERSTATED THE P&L OF THE IRD DESK BY APPROXIMATELY
$25 MILLION. IN ADDITION, THE ORDER FURTHER FINDS THAT NATIXIS FAILED TO DILIGENTLY SUPERVISE THE ACTIVITIES OF ITS FAST DESK.
SPECIFICALLY, BETWEEN FEBRUARY 2017 AND NOVEMBER 2019, TRADERS ON THE FAST DESK MADE CERTAIN MANUAL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BANK'S
INTERNAL TRADE BOOKING SYSTEMS FOR THE PURPOSE OF "SMOOTHING" OR HIDING THE FAST DESK'S P&L AND LATER RELEASING THE P&L DURING
DIFFICULT MARKET CONDITIONS. AT ITS PEAK, THE P&L SMOOTHING UNDERSTATED THE UNREALIZED P&L OF THE FAST DESK BY OVER $6 MILLION.
THIS MISCONDUCT RENDERED THE BANK'S BOOKS AND RECORDS INACCURATE. IN ACCEPTING THE BANK'S OFFER OF SETTLEMENT, THE CFTC
RECOGNIZED ITS SUBSTANTIAL COOPERATION DURING THE DIVISION OF ENFORCEMENT'S INVESTIGATION OF THIS MATTER. THE CFTC NOTED THAT
THE BANK'S SUBSTANTIAL COOPERATION AND REMEDIATION ARE RECOGNIZED IN THE FORM OF A REDUCED CIVIL MONETARY PENALTY.
