Effective January 1, 2011, ALPS Advisors has agreed contractually to limit the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding underlying fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage costs and commissions, dividend and interest expense on short sales, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles) to an annual rate of 1.70% for Class I shares, 1.95% for Class A shares, and 2.70% for Class C shares through August 31, 2012. Effective September 1, 2012, the Adviser agrees to limit the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding underlying fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage costs and commissions, dividend and interest expense on short sales, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles) to an annual rate of 2.75% for Class I shares, 3.00% for Class A shares, and 3.75% for Class C shares through December 31, 2018. ALPS Advisors will consider further reductions to these limits on an annual basis. Without this agreement, expenses would be higher.

The Fund will not be obligated to pay any such deferred fees and expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fee and expenses was deferred. The Adviser may not discontinue this waiver without the approval by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
