Global Custody Charges
Safekeeping & Transaction Charges
The annual basis point charges are applied monthly to the settled positions as reflected on BBH’s custody system at month end.

In addition to safekeeping, the asset charge covers the registrations of shares in BBH’s nominee name, timely notification of corporate action information, and corporate action related cash processing (e.g. dividend and interest collections). The asset charge does not include transaction charges related to corporate actions transactions. Transaction charges are discussed in the paragraph below.

Transaction charges are applied to straight through processed (STP) transactions, including corporate action related security movements, in the applicable markets. Non-STP transactions will incur a surcharge as indicated under transaction surcharges. Other specialized processing will be charged as indicated under Additional Transaction Charges.

Fees for additional markets will be discussed and agreed upon prior to investment.
