Each Board's leadership structure features an Independent Director serving as Chair (except IIF, which does not have a designated Chair) and the Board Committees described below. The Chair participates in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Board of each Fund and the preparation of information to be presented to the Board with respect to matters to be acted upon by the Board of each Fund. The Chair also presides at all meetings of the Board of each Fund and is involved in discussions regarding matters pertaining to the oversight of the management of the Funds between meetings.

The Board of each Fund operates using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Directors, the Funds and the Stockholders, and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the Fund's activities and associated risks. The Board of each Fund has established the following standing committees: (1) Audit Committee, (2) Governance Committee, (3) Compliance and Insurance Committee, (4) Risk Committee (except with respect to IIF), (5) Equity Investment Committee and (6) Fixed Income, Liquidity and Alternatives Investment Committee, which are each comprised exclusively of Independent Directors. Each committee charter governs the scope of the committee's responsibilities with respect to the oversight of the Funds. The responsibilities of each committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under the caption "Board Meetings and Committees" below.

Each Fund is subject to a number of risks, including investment, compliance, operational and valuation risk, among others. The Board oversees these risks as part of its broader oversight of each Fund's affairs through various Board and committee activities. The Board has adopted, and periodically reviews, policies and procedures designed to address various risks to the Funds. In addition, appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer, members of the Funds' administration and accounting teams, representatives from the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm, the Funds' Treasurer, portfolio management personnel, risk management personnel and independent valuation and brokerage evaluation service providers, make regular reports regarding the Funds' activities and related risks to the Board of each Fund and the committees, as appropriate. These reports include, among others, quarterly performance reports, quarterly risk reports and discussions with members of the risk teams relating to each asset class. The Board's committee structure allows separate committees to focus on different aspects of risk and the potential impact of these risks on some or all of the funds in the complex and then report back to the full Board. In between regular meetings, Fund officers also communicate with the Directors regarding material exceptions and items relevant to the Board's risk oversight function. The Board recognizes that it is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect a Fund, and that it is not possible to develop processes and controls to eliminate all of the risks that may affect a Fund. Moreover, the Board recognizes that it may be necessary for the Funds to bear certain risks (such as investment risk) to achieve their respective investment objectives.

As needed between meetings of the Board of each Fund, the Board or a specific committee receives and reviews reports relating to the Funds and engages in discussions with appropriate parties relating to the Funds' operations and related risks.
