Annual Fee
Each Fund will be charged an annual fee equal to the sum of (a) a base fee of $4,000 (“Flat Fee”) plus (b) a Pro Rata AUM Fee calculated as follows:
First, a total annual fee will be calculated by multiplying the average daily net assets of all Funds during the year by the applicable fee rates in the following table to calculate the “Total Fee.”
| Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fees |
| First $60 billion of average daily net assets | .00500% |
| Next $30 billion of average daily net assets | .00475% |
| Over $90 billion of average daily net assets | .00150% |
Second, the Flat Fee will be multiplied by the number of Funds in the complex to calculate the “Aggregate Flat Fee.”
Third, the Aggregate Flat Fee will be subtracted from the Total Fee to calculate the “Total AUM Allocation Fee.”
Fourth, the Pro Rata AUM Fee for each Fund will be equal to the product of the Total AUM Allocation Fee multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such Fund’s average daily net assets in the year of calculation and the denominator of which is the average daily net assets of all Funds during such year.
Example:
Assume that the complex has 60 Funds and $60,000,000,000 in AUM. The annual fee would be calculated as follows:
| - | The Funds, as a complex, would be charged $3,000,000 ($60,000,000,000 * .00500% = $3,000,000) | |
| - | Each of the 60 Funds would be allocated a flat fee of $4,000 (60 * $4,000 = $240,000) | |
| - | Each of the 60 Funds would be charged an asset based fee on the remaining $2,760,00 ($3,000,000 - $240,000 = $2,760,000) | |
| - | The asset based fee on the $2,760,000 would be allocated pro rata to each of the 60 Funds based on AUM per Fund |
Assume that the complex launches a new Fund and has 61 Funds, but assets remain at $60,000,000,000 in AUM. The annual fee would be calculated as follows:
| - | The Funds, as a complex, would still be charged $3,000,000 ($60,000,000,000 * .00500% = $3,000,000) | |
| - | Each of the 61 Funds would be allocated a flat fee of $4,000 (61 * $4,000 = $244,000) | |
| - | Each of the 61 Funds would be charged an asset based fee on the remaining $2,756,000 ($3,000,000 - $244,000 = $2,756,000) | |
| - | The asset based fee on the $2,756,000 would be allocated pro rata to each of the 61 Funds based on AUM per Fund |
The complex would be charged the same total amount. The difference would be that the pro rata calculation would be based on a smaller amount because there are more funds in the complex.
