Management Fees

In consideration of its investment management services, the Investment Adviser will be paid a monthly fee which will be calculated as set out below (the “Management Fee”).

 

1.

The Management Fee will be calculated and paid by the financial administrator after each month-end period. The Management Fee will be based on the average daily net assets of the Fund, as determined by the Fund Accountant during the month. The Fee shall be pro-rated on a daily basis when the Fund is under the management of the Investment Adviser for a portion of any month.

 

2.

Effective October 1, 2020 the Management Fee will be calculated at a rate of 84bps per annum with a discount applied by the Investment Adviser as determined by the total value of the assets under management of the Investment Adviser and any associate as calculated at the beginning of each calendar quarter by the administrator of the Investment Adviser (“AUM”) and at the rates set out below. The scale discount applies to combined total assets above US$1 billion and will steadily reduce the effective overall annual fee from 84bps to 64bps when combined total assets reach US$5 billion for period October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021.

Effective October 1, 2020 the operation of the discount on the standard 84bps fee is illustrated in the table below.
