FEE SCHEDULE / COMPENSATION
Base Fee
43 Basis Points (0.43%)
(one basis point “bp” equals one hundredth of one percent)
Fulcrum Fee
The performance fee of the fund will vary by up to +/-43 bps (0.43%) and shall be added to or subtracted from the base fee to arrive at the fulcrum fee. The comparative index is the Xxxxxxx 1000 Value Index (the “Index”). The performance fee will be derived from a comparison of the net return of the fund’s Class N shares to that of the Index. The performance fee will increase/decrease by 1 bp (0.01%) for each 5 bps (0.05%) of outperformance/ underperformance of the Index; i.e., the fee will increase/decrease by approximately 20% of the difference in performance. There will be no adjustment from the base fee if the fund performs within the “null zone” defined as +/-150 bps (1.5%) relative to the benchmark. The lowest possible fee is 0.00% (0.43% base fee minus 0.43% performance fee) should the sub-adviser underperform the Index by 2.15%. The highest possible fee is 0.86% (0.43% base fee plus 0.43% performance fee) should the sub-adviser outperform the Index by 2.15%. For fund returns equal or within +/-150 bps (1.50% of the Index, the total fee will be the base fee of 0.43% (no performance fee added or subtracted).
In the first twelve months of this contract, the fulcrum/performance fee will be accrued daily, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets to date, and the performance of the Fund versus the Index to date, on the day of calculation. However, no payment will be made until the end of the 12th month, when the accumulated fulcrum fee will be paid in a lump sum. Beginning in the thirteenth month of this contract, and each subsequent month, the entire fulcrum fee will accrue daily and be paid monthly, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, and performance against the Index, over the prior rolling 12-month period.
The Fee Table below illustrates how the fulcrum fee is calculated:
