INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made as of August 16, 2023 between COLLABORATIVE INVESTMENT SERIES TRUST, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), and Goose Hollow Capital Management LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the New Jersey (the “Adviser”) located at 82 North Summit Street, Suite 2B, Tenafly, NJ 07670.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Trust is an open-end management investment company and is registered as such under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”);
WHEREAS, the Trust is authorized to issue shares of beneficial interest in separate series, each having its own investment objective or objectives, policies and limitations;
WHEREAS, the Trust offers shares in the series named on Appendix A hereto (such series, together with all other series subsequently established by the Trust and made subject to this Agreement in accordance with Section 1.3, being herein referred to as the “Fund,” or collectively the “Funds”);
WHEREAS, the Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;
WHEREAS, the Trust desires to retain the Adviser to render investment advisory services to the Trust with respect to the Funds in the manner and on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Services of the Adviser.
1.1 Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser shall act as the investment adviser to the Funds and, as such, shall (i) obtain and evaluate such information relating to the economy, industries, business, securities markets and securities as it may deem necessary or useful in discharging its responsibilities hereunder, (ii) formulate a continuing program for the investment of the assets of the Funds in a manner consistent with their investment objective(s), policies and restrictions, and (iii) determine from time to time securities and other assets to be purchased, sold, retained or lent by the Funds, and implement those decisions, including the selection of entities with or through which such purchases, sales or loans are to be effected; provided, that the Adviser will place orders pursuant to its investment determinations either directly with the issuer or with a broker or dealer or other person, and if with a broker or dealer, (a) will attempt to obtain the best price and execution of its orders, and (b) may nevertheless in its discretion purchase and sell portfolio securities from and to brokers or dealers who provide the Adviser with research, analysis, advice and similar services and pay such brokers or dealers in return a higher commission than may be charged by other brokers or dealers. It is understood that the research, analysis, advice and similar services provided by such brokers or dealers may be useful to the Adviser in connection with its services to other clients.
1
The Trust hereby authorizes any entity or person associated with the Adviser or any sub-adviser retained by the Adviser pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, which is a member of a national securities exchange, to effect any transaction on the exchange for the account of the Trust which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and the Trust hereby consents to the retention of compensation for such transactions in accordance with Rule 11a2-2(T)(a)(2)(iv).
The Adviser shall carry out its duties with respect to each Fund’s investments in accordance with applicable law and the investment objectives, policies and restrictions set forth in the Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and subject to such further limitations as the Trust may from time to time impose by written notice to the Adviser. On occasions when the Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security or other investment to be in the best interest of the Funds as well as other clients, the Adviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities or other investments to be so sold or purchased in order to obtain a favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the securities or other investments so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Adviser in the manner it considers to be equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Funds and to such other clients. The Adviser shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Funds in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Funds.
1.2 Administrative Services. The Trust has engaged the services of an administrator. The Adviser shall provide such assistance and other services related to its investment advisory functions, as reasonably requested by the Board of Trustees or officers of the Trust; provided, that the Adviser shall not have any obligation to provide under this Agreement any direct or indirect services to Trust shareholders, any services related to the distribution of Trust shares, or any other services which are the subject of a separate agreement or arrangement between the Trust and the Adviser. Subject to the foregoing, in providing investment advisory services hereunder, the Adviser shall:
1.2.1 Office Space, Equipment, Personnel and Facilities. Provide such office space, office equipment, personnel and office facilities as are adequate to fulfill the Adviser’s obligations hereunder.
1.2.2 Books and Records. Maintain all books and records with respect to each Fund’s portfolio transactions in connection with the Adviser’s services hereunder that the Fund is required to keep under Rule 31a-1 under the Act.
1.2.3 Reports and Filings. Provide such information in its possession as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of all periodic reports by each Fund to its shareholders and all reports and filings required to maintain the registration and qualification of the Fund and Fund shares, or to meet other regulatory or tax requirements applicable to the Funds, under federal and state securities and tax laws, and review sections of those reports and filings related to Adviser’s functions and designated responsibilities under this Agreement.
2
1.3 Additional Series. In the event that the Trust establishes one or more series after the effectiveness of this Agreement (“Additional Series”), Appendix A to this Agreement may be amended to make such Additional Series subject to this Agreement upon the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and the shareholder(s) of the Additional Series, in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The Trust or the Adviser may elect not to make any such series subject to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Appendix A may not be amended without the written consent of the Adviser.
1.4 Change in Management or Control. The Adviser shall provide at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Trust of any actual change in management or “control” of the Adviser, as that term is defined in Section 2 of the Act. The Adviser shall provide prompt, advance notice, to the extent practicable, of any change in the portfolio manager(s) responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds.
