Ordinarily, price will merit a high relative imprtance in btaining the best pssible result. Hwever, BHAM may, in its abslute discretin, decide that any ther factr r factrs are r may be mre imprtant than price in determining the best pssible executin result. This is particularly the case in less liquid r OTC markets. The relative imprtance given t these executin factrs was in line with BHAM s rder executin plicy and cnsistent with BHAM s prcess in respect f these classes f financial instruments.

In additin, these arrangements did nt influence the Firm s selectin f thse executin venue(s)/brker(s), as the Firm fllwed its rder executin plicy and cnflicts f interest plicy when selecting thse executin venues/brkers. As specified previusly, all discunts r reduced cmmissin rates are t the benefit f the relevant funds and never t the Firm.
