Compensation Structure Analysis

  • No Fund-paid compensation to officers; pay-for-performance linkage at the Fund level cannot be assessed for Ms. Woo based on available disclosures .
  • No disclosure of equity awards (RSUs/PSUs), options, vesting schedules, or severance/change‑of‑control terms for Ms. Woo in Fund filings .

Risk Indicators & Red Flags

  • Hedging/Pledging: No pledging or hedging disclosures for Ms. Woo; not disclosed in proxy .
  • Insider Selling Pressure: With no Fund share ownership disclosed for Ms. Woo, near-term insider selling pressure appears minimal from her position; ownership data as of 12/31/2024 shows “None” .
  • Legal/Investigations: No proceedings or investigations related to Ms. Woo disclosed in the proxy .

Say‑on‑Pay & Shareholder Feedback

  • Trustee compensation and governance processes are disclosed; officer compensation is not Fund‑paid and thus not included in say‑on‑pay context for the Fund .

Expertise & Qualifications

  • Finance and operations leadership across fund administration, controller responsibilities, and accounting management roles (titles and tenure disclosed; formal education not disclosed) .

Investment Implications

  • Alignment: No Fund share ownership for Ms. Woo as of 12/31/2024 implies limited direct alignment via equity with Fund shareholders; however, her role is operational (Assistant Treasurer) rather than investment‑decision making .
  • Compensation Transparency: Fund does not compensate officers; Ms. Woo’s compensation is determined by XAI or affiliates and not disclosed—limiting pay‑for‑performance evaluation for Fund investors .
  • Retention Risk: Employment terms, severance, and change‑of‑control protections are not disclosed for Ms. Woo, making retention economics opaque; officers serve at the pleasure of the Board .
  • Trading Signals: Lack of disclosed equity holdings and absence of option/RSU data for Ms. Woo suggest minimal direct insider selling pressure from her position; no related party transactions or red‑flag governance items are disclosed pertaining to her .
