DST CASH UTILIZATION
INVESTMENT SERVICE
The following describes the DST Cash Utilization investment service:
|
1) |
Net collected balances: Net collected balances in the Client’s transfer agency bank accounts at UMB Bank, N. A. (“UMB”), will be invested each day in two separate overnight UMB sponsored sweep vehicles with comparable rates of return to UMB’s earnings credit
rate. |
Money Market Sweep: Balances able to be determined by a predetermined cutoff time each business day will be swept into a Money Market account in DST’s name. This account will be registered as “for the account of DST (Client Name)”. The
next morning of a business day, the identical principal amounts will be swept back into the originating accounts with the earnings remaining in the Money Market account. The following business day, balances will again be swept into the Money Market account and will be invested overnight along with residual earnings from previous days, and so on each business day.
Overnight Repo: Each evening of a business day, balances exclusive of those already swept into the Money Market account (with some UMB constraints) will be swept into an overnight Repo investment. The next morning of a business day, principal and earnings
amounts will be swept back into the originating accounts, with DST maintaining an ongoing reconciliation of principal versus earnings in your accounts.
No investment advisory functions: DST would not be performing investment advisory functions as a part of this service. The Money Market and Repo sweep vehicles are UMB product offerings.
|
2) |
Lower bank account service charges: For customers electing to use the new Cash Utilization service, DST has renegotiated lower bank account service charges (projected to be 10% less than your current service charges) from UMB by leveraging our collective Transfer Agent and Corporate
relationships with the bank. These reduced fees will benefit you directly and will not be available to smaller, individual customers of the bank. |
Service Fee Payment: Each month, UMB will determine your service fees and invoice them to DST. DST will pay them on your behalf from the accumulated earnings of both overnight investment vehicles. DST will provide you with a copy of the UMB
invoice supporting these charges.
|
EXHIBIT B.3, p. 2 |
|
3) |
DST Fee: DST’s fee for this service allows for DST to collect 25% of all gross overnight investment earnings from both investment vehicles for this Cash Management service. |
DST Fee Collection: Each month, DST will determine the amount of this fee and deduct it from the accumulated earnings of both overnight investment vehicles. We will provide you with detail supporting the calculation of this fee.
|
4) |
Net Earnings Credit: Each month, the remaining net earnings, reduced by both UMB and DST service charges, will be credited against each Trust’s Transfer Agency fees as a direct reduction of fund expenses. Should earnings exceed fees, the excess earnings will be
available to be credited against future fees or returned to the client based on direction from the client. |
Reconciliation: DST will perform the reconciliation of earnings, service charges and credits. DST will also determine the apportionment of the credits to the individual funds in accordance with the following procedure the portion of the total credit that each fund
receives shall be equal to the percentage of total TA fees that each fund’s individual fees represent each month. On your TA fee invoice, we will provide the detail of original gross charges, the amount of the credit for each individual fund and the net amount due for each fund. The funds would pay DST only the net of total TA fees and reimbursable expenses less the amount of the credits.
|
5) |
Legal Opinion: We have reviewed the Legal Opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, LLP (“Xxxxxx”) dated July 19, 2000 and hereby advise you that, as assumed by Xxxxxx in such letter, the existing agreements whereby ‘The Client’ receive transfer agency services from
DST through UMB, currently the transfer agent for such Funds, have been, and the agreement now being negotiated by and between the Trusts and DST whereby DST is appointed as the transfer agent for the Funds will be, approved by a majority of the directors or trustees of each Fund, including a majority of those directors or trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund or its affiliates, as that term is defined in the 0000 Xxx. |
|
6) |
Authorization: Notwithstanding anything in any agreement under which DST is authorized, directly or indirectly, to perform transfer agency, shareholder servicing agency, or related services, whether as principal, agent or sub-agent, to the contrary, DST is hereby authorized and
instructed to open bank accounts in DST’s name for the deposit and holding of, and to deposit into and hold in such accounts, all checks and payments received by DST from NSCC, broker-dealers or shareholders, and any other sums received by DST, for investment in shares, while such sums await their actual delivery to and investment in such Funds. |
