WHEREAS, TFS Capital Investment Trust is a business trust organized under
the laws of the State of Ohio and registered as a open-end, management
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Act");
WHEREAS, each Fund that is a party to this Agreement and the date it became
a party is set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, as such Schedule may be revised from
time to time;
WHEREAS, TFS Capital LLC is the investment adviser of each of the Funds;
WHEREAS, The Board of Trustees of TFS Capital Investment Trust (the
"Board") has determined on behalf of each Fund that it be a joint insured under
a fidelity bond (the "Bond") as permitted by Rule 17g-1 under the Act and a
party to this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, TFS Capital Investment Trust and the Funds have entered into this
Agreement in order to comply with Rule 17g-1 promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Act.
NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY AGREED:
1. That TFS Capital Investment Trust on behalf of each Fund agrees with
respect to each Fund: (i) to maintain the total amount of the Bond in an amount
at least equal to the aggregate amount of the minimum fidelity insurance that
would be required of each Fund by paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1 under the Act
were the Funds not insured under a joint fidelity bond ("minimum coverage"); and
(ii) that each Fund will share in each year's premium cost in such amounts or
percentages as shall be determined annually by the Board, as the case may be,
including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of any of
the Funds, as defined by the Act and the rules thereunder.
2. If any recovery is received under the Bond as a result of a loss
sustained by a Fund and one or more other named insureds, such Fund shall
receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, but such recovery
shall at least equal the amount that the Fund would have received had it
provided and maintained a single insured bond solely with respect to the Fund
the with the minimum coverage required by paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1 under
the Act.
3. Funds formed after the date hereof may become parties to this Agreement
and be bound by the terms of this Agreement upon determination by the Board and
upon the addition of any Fund to Schedule 1 hereto.
