Act 2006 as amended from time to time prior to the date of passing this
resolution (‘2006 Act’) to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot
relevant securities (as defined in sections 551(3) and (6) of the 2006 Act) up

Allocation Shares and £1,000,000 of Managed Liquidity Shares, provided that

Special Resolutions:

The following Special Resolutions were passed at the Annual General Meeting
held on 3 October 2019:

10.   THAT:

       the Directors be and they are hereby empowered, in accordance
with sections 570 and 573 of the Companies Act 2006 as amended from time to
time prior to the date of the passing of this resolution (‘2006 Act’) to
allot Shares in each class (UK Equity, Global Equity Income, Balanced Risk
Allocation and Managed Liquidity) for cash, either pursuant to the authority
given by resolution 9 set out above or (if such allotment constitutes the sale
of relevant Shares which, immediately before the sale, were held by the
Company as treasury shares) otherwise, as if section 561 of the 2006 Act did
not apply to any such allotment, provided that this power shall be limited:

       (a)   to the allotment of Shares in connection with a rights
issue in favour of all holders of a class of Share where the Shares
attributable respectively to the interests of all holders of Shares of such
class are either proportionate (as nearly as may be) to the respective numbers
of relevant Shares held by them or are otherwise allotted in accordance with
the rights attaching to such Shares (subject in either case to such exclusions
or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient in
relation to fractional entitlements or legal or practical problems under the
laws of, or the requirements of, any regulatory body or any stock exchange in
any territory or otherwise);

issue) of equity securities up to an aggregate nominal amount of £33,048 of

less than the net asset value per Share as close as practicable to the
allotment or sale

       and this power shall expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of
the Company or the date fifteen months after the passing of this resolution,
whichever is the earlier, but so that this power shall allow the Company to
make offers or agreements before the expiry of this power which would or might
require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry as if the power
conferred by this resolution had not expired; and so that words and
expressions defined in or for the purposes of Part 17 of the 2006 Act shall
bear the same meanings in this resolution.

purchase is made; and (b) the higher of the price of the last independent
trade in the Shares and the highest then current independent bid for the
Shares on the London Stock Exchange;

       (iv)   any purchase of Shares will be made in the market for
cash at prices below the prevailing net asset value per Share (as determined
by the Directors);

       (v)    the authority hereby conferred shall expire at the
conclusion of the next AGM of the Company or, if earlier, on the expiry of 15
months from the passing of this resolution unless the authority is renewed at
any other general meeting prior to such time; and

       (vi)   the Company may make a contract to purchase Shares under
the authority hereby conferred prior to the expiry of such authority which
will be executed wholly or partly after the expiration of such authority and
may make a purchase of Shares pursuant to any such contract.

12.   THAT:
