Terms and Conditions
Bank’s fees shall remain in place until December 1, 2019 unless otherwise mutually agreed between the parties.
Bank reserves the right to renegotiate its fee schedule at any time, should the Customer’s actual investment portfolio and/or trading activity differ significantly from the assumptions used to develop our fee proposal. The fee schedule may also be amended by mutual agreement of the parties if the Customer’s service requirements change; each party agrees to negotiate, diligently and in good faith, to agree upon new fees for such service requirement changes. Related to Fund Accounting services, bond broker quotes are currently included in the overall Fund Accounting fees. Should there be a significant increase in the use of bond broker quotes, Bank and the Customer agree to revisit this arrangement.
Fees for additional service(s) and/or market(s) added at the request of the Customer while this fee schedule is in effect will be assessed at Bank’s standard price(s), unless an alternative pricing arrangement is agreed upon in advance by the Customer and Bank.
Fees for services not listed on this fee schedule will be provided upon request. Services and activities beyond those performed by X.X. Xxxxxx in the normal course of business will be charged on a quantum meruit basis.
Bank requires invoices to be paid in U.S. Dollars, unless Bank and the Customer have agreed upon alternative payment arrangements in advance of remittance.
Bank will present invoices monthly in arrears, with payment expected via appropriate billing arrangement, unless an alternative billing arrangement is negotiated between the Customer and Bank. All annual fees, including basis point fees, will be pro-rated based on the number of months included in the billing period.
Basis point fee(s), if applicable, will be calculated at the end of the monthly billing period using asset values derived by Bank from data provided by its selected pricing sources. In the event that Bank must rely on the Customer or a portfolio manager or other party(ies) selected by the Customer to provide valuation(s) for the purpose of calculating basis point fee(s), Bank must receive such valuations no later than 30 days after the end of the billing period in a format deemed acceptable by Bank. In the event that Bank does not receive valuations by the required date, Bank will render an invoice using the most recent valuation(s) received for the respective investment(s)/account(s).
Where minimum fees are specified for one or more service categories, if during any billing period total fee(s) for in-scope services in a category are less than the prorated minimum fee for the category, the prorated minimum fee will apply.
Transaction charges, if applicable, are applied to all securities transactions (including receives/delivers vs. payment and free, securities loans, repurchase agreements, redemptions and corporate actions) effected during the billing period. It is assumed that a Customer and its investment adviser will instruct the Bank of trades and other account activity in a mutually agreed electronic format that enables straight-through processing (STP), using the Bank’s proprietary systems, SWIFT messages, direct electronic transmissions or other means deemed acceptable by the Bank. Transaction instructions that require manual input will incur a surcharge.
The fees listed herein are not inclusive of registration fees, stamp duties, taxes, governmental charges, or out-of-pocket expenses, travel expenses and usual disbursements together with VAT, if applicable or related fees incidental to processing charged directly or indirectly by governmental authorities, issuers, or their agents, and X.X. Xxxxxx may recover such applicable out-of-pocket and/or pass-through expenses incurred in the course of delivering contracted services for the Customer by direct debit from the relevant accounts and/or presenting an invoice each billing period.
Any customized technology projects required to meet the Customer specific requirements, such as non-standard reporting requirements, system interfaces or enhancements, will be billed to the Customer based on the time and materials required to design, develop, test and deliver the project, unless an alternative arrangement is negotiated between the Customer and Bank.
The Customer agrees that the descriptions of services in this Fee Schedule and in any other communication between X.X. Xxxxxx and the Customer are for information purposes only and shall not be legally binding, and the Customer acknowledges that X.X. Xxxxxx shall only have the obligation to perform the services described in the relevant services agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.
