Schedule B
to Fund Accounting Agreement
FEE SCHEDULE
This Schedule B, as may be amended from time to time, is incorporated into that certain Fund Accounting Agreement, dated December 31, 2014, by and between Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) and the Funds (as defined in the Agreement) (the “Fund Accounting Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined on this Schedule B have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.
| 1. | Allocated Vendor Costs. |
| a. | Reference is made to that certain Fund Accounting Agreement, dated December 31, 2014, by and between HFMC and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) (the “Sub-Accounting Agreement”), and that certain Sub-Administration Agreement, dated December 31, 2014, by and between HFMC, Lattice Strategies LLC (“Lattice”) and State Street (the “Sub-Administration Agreement”). |
| b. | Reference is made to that certain Confidential Fee Schedule, dated January 31, 2020, with an effective date of January 1, 2020, by and between State Street, HFMC, and Lattice for services under the Sub-Accounting Agreement and Sub-Administration Agreement referenced above, and which is incorporated herein as if fully set forth on this Schedule B (the “State Street Fee Schedule”). |
| c. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under the Agreement, for purposes of this Schedule B, the term State Street Fee Schedule shall exclude any fees that relate to services provided by State Street under: (i) the Custodian Agreement, dated December 31, 2014, by and between State Street and the Funds; (ii) the Custodian Agreement, dated March 1, 2015, by and between State Street and the Exempted Companies Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with Limited Liability listed on Appendix A thereto (the “Cayman Funds”); (iii) the Accounting and Sub-Administration Agreement, dated March 1, 2015, by and between State Street and HFMC for services provided to the Cayman Funds; and (iv) the Master Transfer Agency and Service Agreement, dated February 13, 2018, by and between State Street and the registrants and their separate series listed on Schedule A thereto (the “ETFs). For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Funds” for purposes of this Schedule B does not include the ETFs. |
| d. | Other than “Excludes Fees” (as defined below), the fees payable by HFMC to State Street for services provided by State Street in connection with Sub-Accounting Agreement or the Sub-Administration Agreement, as set forth on the State Street Fee Schedule, are referred to as “Allocated Vendor Costs.” Allocated Vendor Costs shall not include: (i) fees payable by HFMC to State Street under Section II (ETF Servicing) or fees payable under Appendix 3 (In-Kind Creation and Redemption Fees) of the State Street Fee Schedule (“ETF Service Fees”); (ii) fees payable to State Street in connection with a Fund merger, consolidation, or other reorganization; (iii) fees payable to State Street in connection with Special Shareholder Meeting Services (as defined under the State Street Fee Schedule); and (iv) any other fees payable to State Street that are listed on Appendix 2 or Appendix 4 to the State Street Fee Schedule and which are separately invoiced by State Street and such invoice identifies the Fund to which such fees relate (collectively, the “Excluded Fees”). For the avoidance of doubt, any overdraft fees payable to State Street shall be considered Excluded Fees. | |
| e. | Excluded Fees other than ETF Service Fees are referred to as “Direct Vendor Costs.” |
C:
| 2. | Allocated Expenses. Reference is made to the Fund Accountant Expense Allocation Methodology (the “Methodology”) as prepared and presented by HFMC to the Board and reviewed by Thomas H. Mack & Co., Inc., or any successor to such consultant as may be appointed or engaged by the members of the Board who are not “Interested Persons” of the Funds, as that term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Consultant”). Expenses allocated to HFMC by its parent company, Hartford Funds Management Group, Inc., pursuant to the Methodology, are referred to as the “Allocated Expenses.” For the avoidance of doubt, Allocated Expenses include only those expenses the allocation of which is consistent with the Methodology most recently presented to and reviewed by (i) the Board or (ii) at the direction of the Board, the Consultant. |
| 3. | Fund Accounting Fee Payable by the Funds. The fee payable by each Fund to HFMC shall be equal to the sum of: (i) a ratable portion of the Allocated Vendor Costs; (ii) the amount of Direct Vendor Costs applicable to the Fund, if any; and (iii) a ratable portion of the Allocated Expenses (the “Fund Accounting Fee”). The Fund Accounting Fee shall be payable by the Funds to HFMC [monthly]. |
For purposes of determining the ratable portion of the Allocated Vendor Costs and ratable portion of the Allocated Expenses payable by a Fund, the Fund’s ratable portion shall equal the Fund’s average net assets relative to the aggregate amount of net assets among all Funds and ETFs, each as measured during [the most recent 12-month period] ended prior to the date of the invoice.
| 4. | Invoice. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, HFMC shall prepare and deliver to the Funds an invoice each [month] detailing the calculations of the Fund Accounting Fee. |
