Money Market Services

Fee Terms and Conditions
Bank’s fees shall remain in place for a period of 3 years from December 1, 2013.
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. In addition, Customer is permitted at any time to discontinue the use of Global Derivative Services for certain derivatives provided Customer has provided Bank with 30 days’ prior notice. 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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
