Exhibit No. (6)(i)
SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Agreement made as of July 1, 2000 between XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX ASSET
MANAGEMENT INC. ("Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx"), a Delaware corporation, and INSTITUTIONAL
CAPITAL CORPORATION ("Sub-Adviser"), a Delaware corporation (the "Agreement").
RECITALS
(1) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx has entered into a Management Agreement dated
June 15, 1995 ("Management Agreement") with PaineWebber PACE Select Advisors
Trust (formerly known as Managed Accounts Services Portfolio Trust ("Trust")),
an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), with respect to PACE LARGE COMPANY
VALUE EQUITY INVESTMENTS ("Portfolio"); and
(2) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx desires to allocate the portfolio investments of
the Portfolio between two segments, and to retain the Sub-Adviser to furnish
certain investment advisory services with respect to one segment of the
investments of the Portfolio; and
(3) The Sub-Adviser is willing to furnish such services;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and the Sub-Adviser agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx hereby appoints the Sub-Adviser as an
investment sub-adviser with respect to one segment of the Portfolio's
investments for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The
Sub-Adviser accepts that appointment and agrees to render the services herein
set forth, for the compensation herein provided.
2. DUTIES AS SUB-ADVISER.
(a) Subject to the supervision and direction of the Trust's Board of
Trustees (the "Board") and review by Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, and any written
guidelines adopted by the Board or Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, the Sub-Adviser will
provide a continuous investment program with respect to its segment of the
Portfolio's investments, including investment research and discretionary
management to all securities and investments and cash equivalents in the
Portfolio allocated by Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx to the Sub-
Adviser's segment of the Portfolio's investments. The Sub-Adviser will determine
from time to time what investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the
Portfolio in its segment of the Portfolio's investments. The Sub-Adviser will be
responsible for placing purchase and sell orders for investments and for other
related transactions with respect its segment of the Portfolio. The Sub-Adviser
will be responsible for voting proxies of issuers of securities held by the
Sub-Adviser's segment of the Portfolio. The Sub-Adviser understands that the
Portfolio's assets need to be managed so as to permit the Portfolio to qualify
or to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended ("Code"). The Sub-Adviser will provide
services under this Agreement in accordance with the Portfolio's investment
objective, policies and restrictions as stated in the Portfolio's Prospectus and
in the Trust's currently effective registration statement under the 1940 Act,
and any amendments or supplements thereto ("Registration Statement").
(b) The Sub-Adviser agrees that, in placing orders with brokers, it will
attempt to obtain the best net result in terms of price and execution; provided
that, on behalf of the Portfolio, the Sub-Adviser may, in its discretion, use
brokers who provide the Sub-Adviser with research, analysis, advice and similar
services to execute portfolio transactions on behalf of the Portfolio, and the
Sub-Adviser may pay to those brokers in return for brokerage and research
services a higher commission than may be charged by other brokers, subject to
the Sub-Adviser's determination in good faith that such commission is reasonable
in terms either of the particular transaction or of the overall responsibility
of the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolio and its other clients and that the total
commissions paid by the Portfolio will be reasonable in relation to the benefits
to the Portfolio over the long term. In no instance will portfolio securities be
purchased from or sold to Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx or the Sub-Adviser, or any
affiliated person thereof, except in accordance with the federal securities laws
and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Sub-Adviser may aggregate sales
and purchase orders with respect to the assets of the Portfolio with similar
orders being made simultaneously for other accounts advised by the Sub-Adviser
or its affiliates. Whenever the Sub-Adviser simultaneously places orders to
purchase or sell the same security on behalf of the Portfolio and one or more
other accounts advised by the Sub-Adviser, the orders will be allocated as to
price and amount among all such accounts in a manner believed to be equitable
over time to each account. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx recognizes that in some cases this
procedure may adversely affect the results obtained for the Portfolio.
(c) The Sub-Adviser will maintain all books and records required to be
maintained pursuant to the 1940 Act and the rules
- 2 -
and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to transactions by the
Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Portfolio, and will furnish the Board and Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx with such periodic and special reports as the Board or Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx reasonably may request. In compliance with the requirements of Rule
31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Adviser hereby agrees that all records which
it maintains for the Portfolio are the property of the Trust, agrees to preserve
for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any records that it
maintains for the Portfolio and that are required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1
under the 1940 Act, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Trust any
records which it maintains for the Portfolio upon request by the Trust.
(d) At such times as shall be reasonably requested by the Board or
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, the Sub-Adviser will provide the Board and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
with economic and investment analyses and reports as well as quarterly reports
setting forth the performance of the Sub-Adviser's segment of the Portfolio's
investments and make available to the Board and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx any economic,
statistical and investment services that the Sub-Adviser normally makes
available to its institutional or other customers.
(e) In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, as amended from
time to time, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for assisting in the fair valuation
of all portfolio securities in the Sub-Adviser's segment of the Portfolio and
will use its reasonable efforts to arrange for the provision of a price(s) from
a party(ies) independent of the Sub-Adviser for each portfolio security for
which the custodian does not obtain prices in the ordinary course of business
from an automated pricing service.
3. FURTHER DUTIES. In all matters relating to the performance of this
Agreement, the Sub-Adviser will seek to act in conformity with the Trust's Trust
Instrument, By-Laws and Registration Statement and with the written instructions
and written directions of the Board and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx; and will comply with
the requirements of the 1940 Act, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
amended ("Advisers Act"), and the rules under each, the Code, and all other
federal and state laws and regulations applicable to the Trust and the
Portfolio. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx agrees to provide to the Sub-Adviser copies of the
Trust's Trust Instrument, By-Laws, Registration Statement, written instructions
and directions of the Board and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, and any amendments or
supplements to any of these materials as soon as practicable after such
materials become available; and further agrees to identify to the Sub-Adviser in
writing any broker-dealers that are affiliated with Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (other
than PaineWebber Incorporated and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx itself).

4. EXPENSES. During the term of this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser will
bear all expenses incurred by it in connection with its services under this
Agreement. The Sub-Adviser shall not be responsible for any expenses incurred by
the Trust, the Portfolio or Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx.
5. COMPENSATION.
(a) For the services provided and the expenses assumed by the Sub-Adviser
pursuant to this Agreement, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, not the Portfolio, will pay to
the Sub-Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of
0.30% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets allocated to its
management (computed in the manner specified in the Management Agreement), and
will provide the Sub-Adviser with a schedule showing the manner in which the fee
was computed. Under this fee agreement, the Sub-Adviser will receive fees based
on the value of portfolio assets under its management as these assets have been
allocated to it by Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx.
(b) The fee shall be accrued daily and payable monthly to the Sub-Adviser
on or before the last business day of the next succeeding calendar month.
(c) For those periods in which Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx has agreed to waive all
or a portion of its management fee, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx may ask the Sub-Adviser to
waive the same proportion of its fees, but the Sub-Adviser is under no
obligation to do so.
(d) If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of
any month, the fee for the period from the effective date to the end of the
month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the
case may be, shall be pro-rated according to the proportion which such period
bears to the full month in that such effectiveness or termination occurs.
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
(a) The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Portfolio, the Trust or its
shareholders or by Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx in connection with the matters to which
this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or from
reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
- 4 -
(b) In no event will the Sub-Adviser have any responsibility for any
other series of the Trust, for any portion of the Portfolio not managed by the
Sub-Adviser or for the acts or omissions of any other sub-adviser to the Trust
or Portfolio.
The Sub-Adviser shall have no responsibility for the Portfolio's being in
violation of any applicable law or regulation or investment policy or
restriction applicable to the Portfolio as a whole or for the Portfolio's
failing to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code, if the
securities and other holdings of the segment of the Portfolio managed by the
Sub-Adviser are such that such segment would not be in such violation or fail to
so qualify if such segment were deemed a separate series of the Trust or a
separate "regulated investment company" under the Code.
Nothing in this section shall be deemed a limitation or waiver of any
obligation or duty that may not by law be limited or waived.
