Each Fund is a “fund of funds” and offers shareholders the opportunity to invest in shares of certain underlying affiliated investment companies (the “Underlying SEI Funds”), which are separately managed series of the following investment companies of: SEI Daily Income Trust, SEI Institutional International Trust, SEI Institutional Managed Trust, and SEI Liquid Asset Trust. The Certificate of Trust permits the Trust to offer Class II and Class III shares in each Fund. The assets of each Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Trust’s prospectuses provide a description of each Fund’s investment objective and strategies.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Trust, are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for investment companies.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation — The assets of each Fund consist primarily of the investments in underlying affiliated investment companies, which are valued at their respective daily net asset values in accordance with Board-approved pricing procedures.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three tier hierarchy has been established to maximize the use of observable and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from

sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the period ended December 31, 2013 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

During the period ended December 31, 2013, there were no significant changes to the Trust’s fair valuation methodologies. For details of the investment classification, reference the Schedules of Investments.

Security Transactions and Related Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income received from the affiliated funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as income distributions in the Statement of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from the affiliated funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statement of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are on the basis of specific identification.

Classes — Class-specific expenses are borne by that class of shares. Income, realized and unrealized gains/losses and non-class-specific expenses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of relative daily net assets.

Expenses — Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Funds on the basis of relative daily net assets.

Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the underlying funds.

December 31, 2013

 

Offering Costs — The Funds’ offering costs, which include typesetting and prospectus printing, and preparation of the initial registration statement, are being amortized over a twelve-month period from inception and can be found on the Statement of Operations.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends and distributions to shareholders which are determined in accordance with Federal tax regulations are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid to shareholders periodically for each Fund. Any net realized capital gain for each Fund is distributed to shareholders at least annually.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, a Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific transactions, fund positions or anticipated fund positions. A Fund may also engage in currency transactions to enhance that Fund’s returns. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The Funds realize gains and losses at the time forward contracts are extinguished. Unrealized gains or losses on outstanding positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close of the period are recognized as ordinary income or loss for Federal income tax purposes. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. It is the Funds’ policy to present the gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of the forward foreign currency contracts separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as the Funds do not have a master netting agreement with the counterparty to the forward foreign currency contracts. Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for details regarding open forward foreign currency contracts as of December 31, 2013, if applicable.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Advisory, Administration and Distribution Agreements — SEI Investments Management Corporation (“SIMC”) serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to each Fund. In connection

with serving as Adviser, SIMC is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets.

SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the “Administrator”) provides the Trust with administrative and transfer agency services. For its services, the Administrator is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets.

SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (“SEI”) and a registered broker-dealer, acts as the Distributor of the shares of the Trust. The Trust has adopted plans under which firms, including the Distributor, that provide shareholder and administrative services may receive compensation thereof. Class III of the Trust has adopted a distribution plan, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such plan provides fees payable to the Distributor, calculated as a percentage of the average daily net assets attributable to Class III of each respective fund.

The Adviser, Administrator and/or Distributor have voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of their fees in order to keep total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, interest from borrowings, brokerage commissions, taxes and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business) at a specified level. These waivers and reimbursements are voluntary and the Funds’ Adviser, Administrator and/or Distributor may discontinue all or part of any of these waivers at any time.

The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor for the Trust serve in the same capacity for the underlying affiliated investment companies.

*   These payments are characterized as “compensation” and are not directly tied to expenses incurred by the Distributor. The payments the Distributor receives during any year may therefore be higher or lower than its actual expenses.

 

Interfund Lending — The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemption that permits the Trust to participate in an interfund lending program (the “Program”) with existing or future investment companies registered under the 1940 Act that are advised by SIMC (the “SEI Funds”). The Program allows the SEI Funds to lend money to and borrow money from each other for temporary or emergency purposes. Participation in the Program is voluntary for both borrowing and lending funds. Interfund loans may be made only when the rate of interest to be charged is more favorable to the lending fund than an investment in overnight repurchase agreements (“Repo Rate”), and more favorable to the borrowing fund than the rate of interest that would be charged by a bank for short-term borrowings (“Bank Loan Rate”). The Bank Loan Rate will be determined using a formula reviewed annually by the SEI Funds’ Board of Trustees. The interest rate imposed on interfund loans is the average of the Repo Rate and the Bank Loan Rate.

As of and for the period ended December 31, 2013, the Trust had not participated in the Program.

Other — Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers and/or Directors of the Adviser, the Administrator and/or the Distributor. The Trust pays each unaffiliated Trustee an annual fee for attendance at quarterly, interim, and committee meetings. The Adviser or the Administrator pays compensation of officers and affiliated Trustees.

A portion of the services provided by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and his staff, whom are employees of the Administrator, are

paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust’s Adviser, Sub-Advisers and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO’s services have been approved by and are reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees.

6. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

It is each Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code for Federal income tax purposes and distribute all of its taxable income (including net capital gains). Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (initial tax year end) and has concluded that as of December 31, 2013, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Reclassification of Components of Net Assets — The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with Federal tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, accumulated net realized gain (loss) or undistributed net investment income (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

 

 

18    SEI Insurance Products Trust / Annual Report / December 31, 2013

Accordingly, the following permanent differences, primarily attributable to the re-classification of short-term capital gains received from affiliated funds have been reclassified to/from the following accounts as of December 31, 2013 ($ Thousands):

 

      Undistributed

7. INDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of business, a Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications by a Fund to the counterparty of the contract. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against a Fund and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, management believes the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

8. CONCENTRATION RISK

In the normal course of business, the Funds invest solely in underlying funds that are comprised of fixed income and equity securities in specific industries, and therefore, the Funds may be affected by events in these industries. The Funds’ Statement of Additional Information provides a description of concentration and risk associated with the different investments in the underlying affiliated investment companies.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements through the date of issuance.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees

SEI Insurance Products Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of SEI Insurance Products Trust, comprised of the VP Defensive Strategy Fund, VP Conservative Strategy Fund, VP Moderate Strategy Fund, VP Market Plus Strategy Fund, VP Balanced Strategy Fund and VP Market Growth Strategy Fund (collectively the “Funds”), as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period from October 15, 2013 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2013. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying funds and brokers or other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the funds comprising SEI Insurance Products Trust as of December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

 

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.

Operating expenses such as these are deducted from the fund’s gross income and directly reduce your final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the fund’s expense ratio.

The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The table on this page illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:

• Actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.

You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”

• Hypothetical 5% return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expense Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.

NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Board of Trustees’ Considerations in Approving the Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

 

SEI Institutional Products Trust (the “Trust”) and SEI Investments Management Corporation (“SIMC”) have entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, SIMC manages the assets of each series of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”), which are primarily invested in affiliated underlying funds. The management and affairs of the Trust are supervised by a Board of Trustees (each member, a “Trustee” and, collectively, the “Trustees” or the “Board”).

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) requires that the initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement must be specifically approved: (i) by the vote of the Board or by a vote of the shareholders of the Funds; and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Investment Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” of any party (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with their consideration of such approvals, the Funds’ Trustees must request and evaluate, and SIMC is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that, as part of their fiduciary duties with respect to a mutual fund’s fees, mutual fund boards are required to evaluate the material factors applicable to a decision to approve an Investment Advisory Agreement.

Consistent with these responsibilities, the Trust’s Board calls and holds meetings each year that are dedicated to considering whether to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and SIMC with respect to the Funds of the Trust. In the case of the Trust, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2013, the Board was charged with considering the initial approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and SIMC with respect to the Funds of the Trust at the Organizational Meeting held on September 10, 2013. In preparation for this meeting, the Board received extensive data. The Trustees also received a memorandum from Fund counsel regarding the responsibilities of Trustees in connection with their consideration of whether to approve the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement. Finally, the Independent Trustees received advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, met in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and participated in question and answer sessions with representatives of SIMC.

Specifically, the Board requested and received written materials from SIMC regarding: (i) the quality of SIMC’s investment management and other services; (ii) SIMC’s investment management personnel; (iii) SIMC’s operations and financial condition; (iv) SIMC’s brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements) and investment strategies; (v) the level of the advisory fees that SIMC charges the Funds compared with the fees it charges to comparable mutual funds, including the series of SEI Asset Allocation Trust (“SAAT”), which are substantially similar to the Funds; (vi) the Funds’ overall fees and operating expenses compared with similar mutual funds, including the series of SAAT; (vii) SIMC’s compliance systems; (viii) SIMC’s policies on and compliance procedures for personal securities transactions; and (ix) SIMC’s reputation, expertise and resources in domestic and/or international financial markets.

At the September 10, 2013 Organizational Meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement and approved the selection of SIMC to act in its respective capacity for the Funds. The Board’s approval was based on its consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at the meetings and at prior meetings, including:

 

 

the nature, extent and quality of the services that would be provided to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the resources of SIMC and its affiliates that would be dedicated to the Funds;

 

 

the Funds’ projected expenses under the Investment Advisory Agreement and how those expenses compared to those of other comparable mutual funds, including the series of SAAT;

 

 

the projected profitability of SIMC and its affiliates with respect to the Funds, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to SIMC and its affiliates; and

 

 

the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels in the Investment Advisory Agreement reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.

Board of Trustees’ Considerations in Approving the Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) (Concluded)

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that would be provided by SIMC to the Funds and the resources of SIMC and its affiliates that would be dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, SIMC’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Trustees found the level of SIMC’s professional staff and culture of compliance satisfactory. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the nature, extent and quality of services that would be provided by SIMC and to the Funds and the resources of SIMC and its affiliates that would be dedicated to the Funds supported the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Funds’ net operating expense ratio in comparison to those of other comparable mutual funds. The Trustees also considered information about average expense ratios of comparable mutual funds in the Funds’ respective peer groups, including the series of SAAT. The Trustees further considered the fact that the comparative fee analysis either showed that the various fees were below average or that there was a reasonable basis for the fee level. Finally, the Trustees considered the effects of SIMC’s voluntary waiver of management and other fees to prevent total Fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap and concluded that SIMC, through waivers, would maintain the Funds’ net operating expenses at competitive levels for their respective distribution channels. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the projected expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those would be passed along to the Funds’ shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by SIMC and its affiliates. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the Funds would obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale.

Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreement and concluded that the compensation under the Investment Advisory Agreement is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling.

services to the
Registrant that
were pre-
approved
     All fees and
services to
service

(b)   Audit-Related Fees    $ 0       $ 0       $ 0   
(c)   Tax Fees    $ 0       $ 0       $ 0   
(d)   All Other Fees(2)    $ 0       $ 237,000       $ 0   

Notes:

  (1) Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.
  (2) See Item 4 (g)(1) for a description of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category.

(e)(1) The Registrant’s Audit Committee has adopted and the Board of Trustees has ratified an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor of the Registrant may be pre-approved.


Table of Contents

The Policy provides that all requests or applications for proposed services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted to the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and must include a detailed description of the services proposed to be rendered. The CFO will determine whether such services: (1) require specific pre-approval; (2) are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy; or (3) have been previously pre-approved in connection with the independent auditor’s annual engagement letter for the applicable year or otherwise. In any instance where services require pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with SEC’s rules and whether the provision of such services would impair the auditor’s independence.

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the CFO. The Audit Committee will be informed by the CFO on a quarterly basis of all services rendered by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to either the Audit Committee Chair or financial expert, provided that the estimated fee for any such proposed pre-approved service does not exceed $100,000 and any pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee are identified and described in the Policy. In addition, the Policy sets forth a maximum fee per engagement with respect to each identified service that has received general pre-approval.

All services to be provided by the independent auditor shall be provided pursuant to a signed written engagement letter with the Registrant, the investment advisor or applicable control affiliate (except that matters as to which an engagement letter would be impractical because of timing issues or because the matter is small may not be the subject of an engagement letter) that sets forth both the services to be provided by the independent auditor and the total fees to be paid to the independent auditor for those services.

In addition, the Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor’s independence from the Registrant, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Registrant, and discussing with the independent auditor its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

(e)(2) Percentage of fees billed applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

 

     Fiscal 2013  
Audit-Related Fees      0
Tax Fees      0
All Other Fees      0

(f) Not Applicable.

(g)(1) The aggregate non-audit fees and services billed by KPMG for the fiscal year 2013 were $237,000. Non-audit fees consist of SSAE No. 16 review of fund accounting and administration operations, attestation report in accordance with Rule 17 Ad-13, and agreed upon procedures report over certain internal controls related to compliance with federal securities laws and regulations.


Table of Contents

(h) During the past fiscal year, Registrant’s principal accountant provided certain non-audit services to Registrant’s investment adviser or to entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Registrant’s investment adviser that provide ongoing services to Registrant that were not subject to pre-approval pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee of Registrant’s Board of Trustees reviewed and considered these non-audit services provided by Registrant’s principal accountant to Registrant’s affiliates, including whether the provision of these non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

Not Applicable.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Registrant has a standing Governance Committee (the “Committee”) currently consisting of the Independent Trustees.

Pursuant to the Committee’s Charter, adopted on June 18 th 2004, as amended, the Committee will review all shareholder recommendations for nominations to fill vacancies on the Board if such recommendations are submitted in writing and addressed to the Committee at the Trust’s office.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
