EXHIBIT (d)(4)
FUND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
This Fund Management Agreement (this "Agreement") is made effective this
1st day of July, 2001 by and among Pacific Life Insurance Company, a California
corporation ("Investment Adviser"), Janus Capital Corporation, a Colorado
corporation ("Fund Manager"), and Pacific Funds, a Delaware Business Trust
("Pacific Funds").
WHEREAS, Investment Adviser has entered into an Advisory Agreement dated
June 13, 2001 (the "Advisory Agreement") with the Pacific Funds to act as
investment adviser to each series of the Pacific Funds (each a "Fund");
WHEREAS, the Advisory Agreement provides that Investment Adviser may engage
a Fund manager to furnish investment information and advice to assist Investment
Adviser in carrying out its responsibilities under the Advisory Agreement;
WHEREAS, Investment Adviser and the Trustees of the Pacific Funds desire to
retain Fund Manager to render investment advisory services to Investment Adviser
in the manner and on the terms set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
and the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, Investment Adviser and
Fund Manager agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT. Pacific Funds and Investment Adviser hereby appoint Janus
Capital Corporation to act as Fund Manager to the Fund for the periods and on
the terms set forth in this Agreement. Fund Manager accepts such appointment
and agrees to furnish services herein set forth for the compensation herein
provided. In the event Investment Adviser wishes to retain Fund Manager to
render investment advisory services to one or more funds other than the Fund,
Investment Adviser shall notify Fund Manager in writing. If Fund Manager is
willing to render such services, it shall notify the Pacific Funds and
Investment Adviser in writing, whereupon such funds shall become a fund
hereunder, and be subject to this Agreement.
2. FUND MANAGER DUTIES.
(a) Fund Manager shall, subject to the supervision of Investment
Adviser, manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund. Fund
Manager is authorized, in its discretion and without prior consultation with
Investment Adviser, to buy, sell, lend, and otherwise trade in any stocks,
bonds, and other securities and investment instruments on behalf of the Fund,
and so long as consistent with the foregoing, without regard to the length of
time the securities have been held and the resulting rate of Fund turnover or
any tax considerations. Subject to the investment objectives, policies, and
restrictions concerning the Fund set forth in Pacific Funds' declaration of
trust and in its registration statements under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "1940 Act"), the majority or the whole of the Fund may be invested in
such proportions of stocks, bonds, other securities or investment instruments,
or cash as Fund Manager shall determine. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that Pacific Funds shall at all
times retain the ultimate responsibility for
and control of all functions performed pursuant to the Agreement and reserves
the right to direct, approve, or disapprove any action hereunder taken on its
behalf by the Fund Manager. Fund Manager will manage each of the Funds so that
it will meet the requirements of Section 851(b)(2) and (3) of Subchapter M of
the Internal Revenue Code.
(b) Shall conform (1) with the 1940 Act and all rules and regulations
thereunder, and releases and interpretations related thereto (including any no-
action letters and exemptive orders which have been granted by the SEC to
Pacific Funds, the Adviser or the Fund Manager), (2) with all other applicable
federal and state laws and regulations pertaining to registered open-end
investment management companies, (3) with any applicable written procedures,
policies and guidelines adopted by the Pacific Funds' Board of Trustees and
furnished to Fund Manager, (4) with the Fund's objectives, investment policies
and investment restrictions as stated in the Pacific Funds' Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information as supplemented or amended from time to
time, as furnished to the Fund Manager, and (5) with the provisions of Pacific
Funds' Registration Statement filed on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "1933 Act") and the 1940 Act, as supplemented or amended from time to
time. Until the Adviser delivers any supplements or amendments to the Fund
Manager, the Fund Manager shall be fully protected in relying on Pacific Funds'
Registration Statement, procedures, policies and guidelines previously furnished
to the Fund Manager by the Adviser.
(c) Is responsible, in connection with its responsibilities under this
Section 2, for decisions to buy and sell securities and other investments for
the Funds, for broker-dealer and futures commission merchant ("FCM") selection,
and for negotiation of commission rates. The Fund Manager's primary
consideration in effecting a security or other transaction will be to obtain the
best execution for the Funds, taking into account the factors specified in the
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for Pacific Funds, as they
may be amended or supplemented from time to time and furnished to the Fund
Manager. Subject to such policies as the Board of Trustees may determine and
consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Fund
Manager shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any
duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having
caused the Fund to pay a broker or dealer, acting as agent, for effecting a fund
transaction at a price in excess of the amount of commission another broker or
dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Fund Manager
determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such
broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the
Fund Manager's (or its affiliates) overall responsibilities with respect to the
Funds and to its other clients as to which it exercises investment discretion.
To the extent consistent with these standards, and in accordance with Section
11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and
subject to any other applicable laws and regulations including Section 17(e) of
the 1940 Act, the Fund Manager is further authorized to place orders on behalf
of the Funds through the Fund Manager if the Fund Manager is registered as a
broker or dealer with the SEC or as a FCM with the Commodities Futures Trading
Commission ("CFTC"), to any of its affiliates that are brokers or dealers or
FCMs or such other entities which provide similar services in foreign countries,
or to such brokers and dealers that also provide research or statistical
research and material, or other services to the Funds or the Fund Manager. Such
allocation shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Fund Manager shall
determine consistent with the above standards, and, upon request, the Fund
Manager will report on said allocation to the Adviser and Board of Trustees of
Pacific Funds, indicating the brokers, dealers or FCMs to which such allocations
have been made and the basis therefor.
(d) Fund Manager shall furnish Investment Adviser monthly, quarterly,
and annual reports concerning transactions and performance of the Fund in such
form as may be mutually agreed upon, and agrees to review the Fund and discuss
the management of it. Fund Manager shall permit the financial statements, books
and records with respect to the Fund to be inspected and audited by the
Investment Adviser at all reasonable times during normal business hours. Fund
Manager shall also provide Investment Adviser and the Pacific Funds with such
other information and reports as may reasonably be requested by Investment
Adviser and the Pacific Funds from time to time, other than proprietary
information and provided that Fund Manager shall not be responsible for Fund
accounting.
(e) Fund Manager shall provide to Investment Adviser a copy of Fund
Manager's Form ADV, and any supplements or amendments thereto, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, on an annual basis, (or more frequently if
requested by the Investment Adviser or the Pacific Funds' Board of Trustees) and
a list of persons who Fund Manager wishes to have authorized to give written
and/or oral instructions to Custodians of Pacific Funds assets for the Fund.
(f) Fund Manager will, in connection with the purchase and sale of
securities for the Fund, together with Investment Adviser, arrange for the
transmission to the custodian, and the recordkeeping agent for the Pacific Funds
on a daily basis, such confirmation, trade tickets, and other documents and
information, including, but not limited to Cusip, Sedol, or other numbers that
identify securities to be purchased or sold on behalf of the Fund, as may be
reasonably necessary to enable the custodian and recordkeeping agent to perform
its administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities with respect to the Fund,
and, with respect to Fund securities to be purchased or sold through the
Depository Trust Company, will arrange for the automatic transmission of the
confirmation of such trades to Pacific Funds' custodian, recordkeeping agent,
(and, if required, by the Investment Adviser).
(g) Fund Manager will assist the custodian and recordkeeping agent for
the Pacific Funds in determining or confirming, consistent with the procedures
and policies stated in the Registration Statement for Pacific Funds, the value
of any Fund securities or other assets of the Fund for which the custodian and
recordkeeping agent seeks assistance from Fund Manager or identifies for review
by Fund Manager.
(h) Fund Manager will report regularly to Pacific Funds' Board of
Trustees on the investment program for the Fund and the issuers and securities
represented in the Fund and will furnish Pacific Funds' Board of Trustees with
respect to the Fund such periodic and special reports as the Trustees and
Investment Adviser may reasonably request, including, but not limited to, the
monthly compliance checklist, monthly tax compliance worksheet, reports
regarding compliance with Pacific Funds' procedures pursuant to Rules 17e-1.
17a-7, 10f-3 and 12d3-1 under the 1940 Act, fundamental investment restrictions,
liquidity determination of securities purchased pursuant to Rule 144A and 4(2)
commercial paper, and compliance with Pacific funds' or, if adopted by the Board
of Trustees, the Fund Manager's Code of Ethics, and such other procedures or
requirements that Pacific Funds or Investment Adviser may request from time to
time.
(i) Fund Manager will not knowingly disclose or use any records or
information obtained pursuant to this Agreement (excluding investment research
and investment advice) in any manner whatsoever except as expressly authorized
in this agreement or in the ordinary course of business in connection with
placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities, and will keep
confidential any information obtained pursuant to this Agreement, and disclose
such information only if the Board of Trustees of Pacific Funds has authorized
such disclosure, or if such disclosure is required by applicable federal or
state law or regulations or regulatory authorities having requisite authority.
Pacific Funds, the Fund, and Investment Adviser will not knowingly disclose or
use any records or information respecting Fund Manager obtained pursuant to this
Agreement in any manner whatsoever except as expressly authorized in this
Agreement, and will keep confidential any information obtained pursuant to this
Agreement, and disclose such information only as expressly authorized by this
Agreement, if Fund Manager has authorized such disclosure, or if such disclosure
is required by applicable federal or state law or regulations or regulatory
authorities having the requisite authority.
(j) Fund Manager shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of
Schedule 13G and Form 13F on behalf of the Fund. Fund Manager shall not be
responsible for the preparation or filing of any other reports required of the
Fund by any governmental or regulatory agency, except as expressly agreed to in
writing. Fund Manager shall vote proxies received in connection with securities
held by the fund.
3. OBLIGATIONS OF INVESTMENT ADVISER AND THE FUND.
(a) Investment Adviser or its agent shall provide timely information
to Fund Manager regarding such matters as the composition of assets in the Fund,
cash requirements and cash available for investment in the Fund, and all other
information as may be reasonably necessary for Fund Manager to perform its
responsibilities hereunder.
(b) Investment Adviser has herewith furnished Fund Manager a copy of
the Fund's registration statement currently in effect and agrees during the
continuance of this Agreement to furnish Fund Manager copies of any amendments
or supplements thereto before or at the time the amendments or supplements
become effective. Investment Adviser agrees to furnish Fund Manager with
minutes of meetings of the Trustees of Pacific Funds applicable to the Fund to
the extent they may affect the duties of Investment Adviser, a copy of any
financial statements or reports prepared for Pacific Funds, including the Fund,
by certified or independent public accountants, and with copies of any financial
statements or reports made by the Fund to its shareholders or to any
governmental body or securities exchange, and any further materials or
information which Fund Manager may reasonably request to enable it to perform
its functions under this Agreement.
4. CUSTODIAN. Investment Adviser shall provide Fund Manager with a copy
of the Fund's agreement with the Custodian (the "Custodian") designated to hold
the assets in the Fund and any modification thereto (excepting any information
concerning the calculation of fees, in particular, the "Fee Schedule") (the
"Custody Agreement") in advance. The Fund assets shall be maintained in the
custody of the Custodian identified in, and in accordance with the terms and
conditions of, the Custody Agreement. Fund Manager shall have no liability for
the acts or omissions of the Custodian. Any assets added to the Fund shall be
delivered directly to the Custodian.
5. EXPENSES. The Pacific Funds shall assume and pay all its
organizational, operational, and business expenses not specifically assumed or
agreed to be paid by Fund Manager pursuant hereto, including, without
limitation, (a) interest and taxes; (b) brokerage commissions and other costs in
connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other investment
instruments with respect to the Fund; and (c) custodian fees and expenses. Any
reimbursement of advisory fees required by any expense limitation provision
shall be the sole responsibility of Investment Adviser. Pacific Funds,
Investment Adviser, and Fund Manager shall not be considered as partners or
participants in a joint venture. Fund Manager will pay its own expenses for the
services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not assumed by
the Pacific Funds or Investment Adviser above, and will not be obligated to pay
any expenses of the Pacific Funds, Investment Adviser, or the Fund unless Fund
Manager is responsible for expenses incurred pursuant to Section 10 of this
Agreement.
6. PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS. Absent instructions from Investment
Adviser to the contrary, Fund Manager shall place all orders for the purchase
and sale of securities for the Fund with brokers or dealers selected by Fund
Manager which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with Fund Manager.
Purchase or sell orders for the Fund may be aggregated with contemporaneous
purchase or sell orders of other clients of Fund Manager. Fund Manager shall
use its best efforts to obtain execution of Fund transactions at prices which
are advantageous to the Fund and at commission rates that are reasonable in
relation to the benefits received. However, Fund Manager may select brokers or
dealers on the basis that they provide brokerage, research, or other services or
products to the Fund and/or other accounts serviced by Fund Manager. Fund
Manager may pay a broker or dealer an amount of commission for effecting a
securities transaction in excess of the amount of commission or dealer spread
another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if
Fund Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission was
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research products
and/or services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination, with
respect to brokerage and research services or products, may be viewed in terms
of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which Fund
Manager and its affiliates have with respect to the Fund and to accounts over
which they exercise investment discretion, and not all such services or products
may be used by Fund Manager in managing the Fund.
7. COMPENSATION OF FUND MANAGER. Investment Adviser shall pay to Fund
Manager a monthly fee in accordance with the fee schedule attached to this
Agreement. Monthly fees shall be calculated by Investment Adviser based upon
the average daily net assets of the Fund (including cash or cash equivalents)
for the preceding month for investment advisory services rendered during that
preceding month, and shall be payable to Fund Manager by the fifteenth day of
the succeeding month. The fee for the first month during which Fund Manager
shall render investment advisory services under this Agreement shall be based
upon the number of days the account was open in that month. If this Agreement
is terminated, the fee shall be based upon the number of days the account was
open during the month in which the Agreement is terminated.
8. COMPLIANCE.
(a) The Fund Manager agrees that it shall immediately notify the
Investment Adviser and Pacific Funds (i) in the event that the SEC or any
banking or other regulatory body has censured the Fund Manager; placed
limitations upon its activities, functions, or operations;
suspended or revoked its registration, if any, or ability to serve as an
investment adviser; or has commenced proceedings or an investigation that can be
reasonably expected to result in any of these actions, and (ii) upon having a
reasonable basis for believing that a Fund has ceased to qualify or might not
qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code. The Fund Manager further agrees to notify the Investment Adviser
and Pacific Funds immediately of any material fact known to the Fund Manager
respecting or relating to the Fund Manager that is not contained in the
Registration Statement or prospectus for Pacific Funds, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or of any statement contained therein that becomes untrue in
any material respect.
(b) The Investment Adviser agrees that it shall immediately notify
the Fund Manager (i) in the event that the SEC has censured the Investment
Adviser or Pacific Funds; placed limitations upon either of their activities,
functions, or operations; suspended or revoked the Adviser's registration as an
investment adviser; or has commenced proceedings or an investigation that may
result in any of these actions, and (ii) upon having a reasonable basis for
believing that Fund has ceased to qualify or might not qualify as a regulated
investment company under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
9. COOPERATION. Each party to this Agreement agrees to cooperate
-----------
with each other party and with all appropriate governmental authorities having
the requisite jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, the SEC and state
insurance authorities) in connection with any investigation or inquiry relating
to this Agreement or Pacific Funds.
10. NON-EXCLUSIVITY. Investment Adviser and the Fund agree that the
services of Fund Manager are not to be deemed exclusive and that Fund Manager
and its affiliates are free to act as investment adviser and provide other
services to various investment companies and other managed accounts. Subject to
Section 17j-1 of the 1940 Act, this Agreement shall not in any way limit or
restrict Fund Manager or any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents
from buying, selling, or trading any securities or other investment instruments
for its or their own account or for the account of others for whom it or they
may be acting, provided that such activities will not adversely affect or
otherwise impair the performance by Fund Manager of its duties and obligations
under this Agreement. Investment Adviser and the Fund recognize and agree that
Fund Manager may provide advice to or take action with respect to other clients,
which advice or action, including the timing and nature of such action, may
differ from or be identical to advice given or action taken with respect to the
Fund. Fund Manager shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent
contractor and shall, unless otherwise provided or authorized, have no authority
to act for or represent the Fund or Investment Adviser in any way or otherwise
by deemed an agent of the Fund or Investment Adviser other than in furtherance
of its duties and responsibilities as set forth in this Agreement.
11. LIABILITY.
(a) Except as may otherwise be required by the 1940 Act or the rules
thereunder or other applicable law, Pacific Funds and Investment Adviser agree
that Fund Manager, any affiliated person of Fund Manager, and each person, if
any, who, within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, controls Fund
Manager shall not be liable for, or subject to any damages, expenses, or losses
in connection with, any act or omission connected with or arising out of any
services rendered under this Agreement, except by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of Fund Manager's duties, or
by
reason of reckless disregard of Fund Manager's obligations and duties under
this Agreement. Investment Adviser and the Fund shall indemnify and hold
harmless Fund Manager, individually and as investment adviser, from and against
any and all third-party claims (including reasonable attorneys' fees, with
respect to counsel reasonably satisfactory to Investment Adviser or retained by
Investment Adviser for Fund Manager), arising from or relating to the
performance by or obligations of Fund Manager as investment adviser hereunder
except to the extent any such claims are caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Fund Manager. Investment Adviser acknowledges and agrees
that Fund Manager makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, that
any level of performance or investment results will be achieved by the Fund or
that the Fund will perform comparably with any standard or index, including
other clients of Fund Manager, whether public or private.
(b) The Fund Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, the
Adviser, any affiliated person within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940
Act ("affiliated person") of the Adviser, and each person, if any, who, within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, controls ("controlling person") the
Adviser (collectively, "PL Indemnified Persons") against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or litigation (including legal and other expenses),
to which the Adviser or such affiliated person or controlling person may become
subject under the 1933 Act, 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, under any other statute,
at common law or otherwise, arising out of the Fund Manager's responsibilities
to Pacific Funds which may be based upon any willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence, or reckless disregard of, the Fund Manager's obligations
and/or duties under this Agreement by the Fund Managers or by any of its
directors, officers or employees, or any affiliate acting on behalf of the Fund
Manager (other than a PL Indemnified Person); provided, however, that in no case
is the Fund Manager's indemnity in favor of the Adviser or any affiliated person
or controlling person of the Adviser deemed to protect such person against any
liability to which any such person would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of his
duties, or by reason of his reckless disregard of obligation and duties under
this Agreement.
