Money Manager Agreement
This agreement (the Money Manager Agreement) is
between TIFF Investment Program (TIP), a Delaware statutory
trust, for its TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (the Fund), and TPH Asset
Management LLC (the Manager), a registered investment
adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended
(the Advisers Act) and is effective as of June 10, 2016 (the
Effective Date).
Recitals
TIP is an open-end management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act); and
TIP wishes to retain the Manager to render advisory
services to the Fund and the Manager is willing to render those
services.
The parties therefore agree as follows:
1. Managed Assets
The Manager will provide investment management
services with respect to assets placed with the Manager on
behalf of the Fund from time to time. Such assets, as changed
by investment, reinvestment, additions, disbursements of
expenses, and withdrawals, are referred to in this Agreement as
the Managed Assets. The Fund may make additions to or
withdraw all or any portion of the Managed Assets from this
management arrangement at any time.
2. Appointment and Powers of Manager; Investment
Approach
(a) Appointment. TIP, acting on behalf of the Fund,
hereby appoints the Manager to manage the Managed Assets
for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement.
The Manager hereby accepts this appointment and agrees to
render the services herein described in accordance with the
requirements described in Section 3(a).
(b) Powers. Subject to the supervision of the board
of trustees of TIP and subject to the supervision of TIFF Advisory
Services, Inc. (TAS) as Investment Adviser to the Fund, the
Manager shall direct investment of the Managed Assets in
accordance with the requirements of Section 3(a). TIP, acting
on behalf of the Fund, grants the Manager authority to:
(i) acquire (by purchase, exchange,
subscription, or otherwise), hold, and
dispose of (by sale, exchange, or
otherwise) securities and other
investments;
(ii) determine what portion of the
Managed Assets will be held
uninvested; and
(iii) enter into such agreements and make
such representations (including
representations regarding the purchase
of securities for investment) as may be
necessary or proper in connection with
the performance by the Manager of its
duties hereunder.
(c) Power of Attorney. To enable the Manager to
exercise fully the discretion granted hereunder, TIP appoints the
Manager as its attorney-in-fact to invest, sell, and reinvest the
Managed Assets as fully as TIP itself could do. The Manager
hereby accepts this appointment.
(d) Voting. The Manager shall be authorized to
vote on behalf of the Fund any proxies relating to the Managed
Assets, provided, however, that the Manager shall comply with
any instructions received from the Fund as to the voting of
securities and handling of proxies.
(e) Independent Contractor. Except as expressly
authorized herein, the Manager shall for all purposes be
deemed to be an independent contractor and shall have no
authority to act for or to represent TIP, the Fund, or TAS in any
way, or otherwise to be an agent of any of them.
(f) Reporting. The Manager shall furnish to TIP
upon reasonable request such information that TIP may
reasonably require to complete documents, reports, or
regulatory filings.
3. Requirements; Duties
(a) Requirements. In performing services for the
Fund and otherwise discharging its obligations under this
Agreement, the Manager shall act in conformity with the
following requirements (the Requirements):
(i) the 1940 Act, the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and all
other applicable federal and state laws
and regulations which apply to the
Manager in conjunction with
performing services for the Fund, if any;
(ii) TIPs Registration Statement under the
1940 Act and the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, on Form N-1A as filed with
the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to the Fund and
the shares of beneficial interest in the
Fund, as such Registration Statement
may be amended from time to time
(the Registration Statement);
(iii) the Managers Investment Guidelines,
which may be amended from time to
time through mutual agreement by TAS
and the Manager;
(iv) written instructions and directions of
the board of trustees of TIP; and
(v) written instructions and directions of
TAS.
(b) Responsibility with Respect to Actions of Others.
TIP may place the investment portfolio of each of its funds,
including the Fund, with one or more investment managers. To
the extent the applicability of, or conformity with, the
Requirements depends upon investments made by, or activity
of, the managers other than the Manager, the Manager agrees
to comply with such Requirements: (i) to the extent that such
compliance is within the Managers Investment Guidelines; and
(ii) to the extent that the Manager is provided with information
sufficient to ascertain the applicability of such Requirements. If
it appears to the Fund at any time that the Fund may not be in
compliance with any Requirement and the Fund or TAS so
notifies the Manager, the Manager shall promptly take such
actions not inconsistent with applicable law or regulation as the
Fund or TAS may reasonably specify to effect compliance.
(c) Responsibility with Respect to Performance of
Duties. In performing its duties under this Agreement, the
Manager will act solely in the interests of the Fund and shall use
reasonable care and its best judgment in matters relating to the
Fund. The Manager will not deal with the Managed Assets in its
own interest or for its own account.
(d) Valuation. The Manager shall not be
responsible for calculating the Net Asset Value of the Funds
portfolio or making final decisions on the value of portfolio
securities used to calculate such net asset value, but must
review regularly the pricing of the Managed Assets as made
available by or on behalf of the Fund. The Manager agrees to
notify the Fund promptly if the Manager reasonably believes
that the value of any portfolio security comprising the Managed
Assets may not reflect fair value. The Manager agrees to
provide upon request any pricing information of which the
Manager is aware to the Fund, to TAS, or to the Funds
administrator to assist in the determination of the fair value of
any portfolio security for which market quotations are not
readily available or as otherwise required in accordance with
the 1940 Act or the Funds valuation procedures for the purpose
of calculating the Funds Net Asset value in accordance with
procedures and methods established by the board of trustees of
TIP.
4. Recordkeeping and Reporting
(a) Records. The Manager shall maintain proper
and complete records relating to the furnishing of investment
management services under this Agreement, including records
with respect to the securities transactions for the Managed
Assets required by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act. All records
maintained pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to
examination by the Fund and by persons authorized by it during
reasonable business hours upon reasonable notice. Records
required by Rule 31a-1 maintained as specified above shall be
the property of the Fund; the Manager will preserve such
records for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940
Act and shall surrender such records promptly at the Funds
request. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Manager
shall promptly return records that are the Funds property and,
upon demand, shall make and deliver to the Fund true and
complete and legible copies of such other records maintained as
required by this Section 4(a) as the Fund may request. The
Manager may retain copies of records furnished to the Fund.
(b) Reports to Custodian. The Manager shall
provide to the Funds custodian and to the Fund, on each
business day, information relating to all transactions concerning
the Managed Assets.
(c) Other Reports. The Manager shall render to the
board of trustees of TIP and to TAS such periodic and special
reports as the board or TAS may reasonably request.
5. Purchase and Sale of Securities
(a) Selection of Brokers. The Manager shall place
all orders for the purchase and sale of securities on behalf of the
Fund with brokers or dealers selected by the Manager in
conformity with the policy respecting brokerage set forth in the
Registration Statement. Neither the Manager nor any of its
officers, employees, or any of its affiliated persons, as defined in
the 1940 Act, will act as principal or receive any compensation
in connection with the purchase or sale of investments by the
Fund other than the management fees provided for in Section 6
hereof.
In placing such orders, the Manager will give primary
consideration to obtaining the most favorable price and
efficient execution reasonably available under the
circumstances and in accordance with applicable law. In
evaluating the terms available for executing particular
transactions for the Fund and in selecting broker-dealers to
execute such transactions, the Manager may consider, in
addition to commission cost and execution capabilities, those
factors that it deems relevant, such as the financial stability and
reputation of broker-dealers and the brokerage and research
services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) provided by such
broker-dealers. The Manager is authorized to pay a broker-
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a
commission for executing a transaction which is in excess of the
amount of commission another broker-dealer would have
charged for effecting that transaction if the Manager
determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such broker-dealer in discharging responsibilities
with respect to the Fund or to other client accounts as to which
it exercises investment discretion.
(b) Aggregating Orders. On occasions when the
Manager deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the
best interest of the Fund as well as other advisory clients of the
Manager, the Manager, to the extent permitted by applicable
laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to,
aggregate the securities to be so sold or purchased in order to
obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage
commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation
of securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expense
incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Manager in the
manner it considers to be most equitable and consistent with its
fiduciary obligations to the Fund and its other clients.
6. Management Fees; Expenses
(a) Management Fees. Schedule I attached hereto
sets out the fees to be paid by the Fund
to the Manager no later than the last day of the month
immediately following the end of the period to which the fee
relates.
(b) Expenses. The Manager shall furnish at its own
expense all of its own office facilities, equipment and supplies,
and shall perform at its own expense all routine and recurring
functions necessary to render the services required under this
Agreement including administrative, bookkeeping and
accounting, clerical, statistical, and correspondence functions.
The Fund shall pay directly, or, if the Manager makes payment,
reimburse the Manager for, (i) custodial fees for the Managed
Assets, (ii) brokerage commissions, issue and transfer taxes and
other costs of securities transactions to which the Fund is a
party, including any portion of such commissions attributable to
research and brokerage services; and (iii) interest and taxes, if
any, payable by the Fund. In addition, the Fund shall pay
directly, or, if the Manager makes payment, reimburse the
Manager for, such non-recurring special out-of-pocket costs and
expenses as may be authorized in advance by the Fund.
7. Non-Exclusivity of Services
The Manager is free to act for its own account and to
provide investment management services to others. The Fund
acknowledges that the Manager and its officers and employees,
and the Managers other clients, may at any time have, acquire,
increase, decrease or dispose of positions in the same
investments which are at the same time being held, acquired or
disposed of under this Agreement for the Fund. Neither the
Manager nor any of its officers or employees shall have any
obligation to effect a transaction under this Agreement simply
because such a transaction is effected for his or its own account
or for the account of another client. The Fund agrees that the
Manager may refrain from providing any advice or services
concerning securities of companies for which any officers,
directors, partners or employees of the Manager or any of the
Managers affiliates act as financial adviser, investment manager
or in any capacity that the Manager deems confidential, unless
the Manager determines in its sole discretion that it may
appropriately do so. The Fund appreciates that, for good
commercial and legal reasons, material nonpublic information
which becomes available to affiliates of the Manager through
these relationships cannot be passed on to Fund and that the
Manager may be restricted from trading the securities of issuers
about which it is in possession of material nonpublic
information.
8. Liability
The Manager shall not be liable to the Fund, TIP, or TAS
for any error of judgment, but the Manager shall be liable to the
Fund for any loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith,
or gross negligence by the Manager in providing services under
this Agreement or from reckless disregard by the Manager of its
obligations and duties under this Agreement. Nothing in this
Agreement shall constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights
that the Fund, TIP, or TAS may have under applicable state or
federal laws.
9. Representations
(a) The Manager hereby represents to the Fund
that the Manager is registered as an investment adviser under
the Advisers Act, that it has full power and authority to enter
into and perform fully the terms of this Agreement and that the
execution of this Agreement on behalf of the Manager has been
duly authorized and, upon execution and delivery, this
Agreement will be binding upon the Manager in accordance
with its terms.
(b) The Manager represents that it is in material
compliance with all applicable laws, both federal and state.
(c) TIP hereby represents to the Manager that it
has full power and authority to enter into and perform fully the
terms of this Agreement and that the execution of this
Agreement on behalf of the Fund has been duly authorized and,
upon execution and delivery, this Agreement will be binding
upon TIP in accordance with its terms.
(d) TIP acknowledges receipt of Parts 2A and B of the
Managers Form ADV and Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA)
Disclosure Document (if applicable).
(e) TIP represents that TIP and the Fund are in
material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations,
both federal and state.

two (2) years from the date hereof and shall thereafter be
automatically renewed for successive periods of one (1) year
each, provided such renewals are specifically approved at least
annually in conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act;
provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated
without the payment of any penalty, by (a) the Fund, if a
decision to terminate is made by the board of trustees of TIP or
by a vote of a majority of the Funds outstanding voting
securities (as defined in the 1940 Act), or (b) the Manager, in
each case with at least 30 days written notice from the
terminating party and on the date specified in the notice of
termination.
This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the
event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act).
11. Amendment
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this
Agreement may be amended by mutual consent, but the
consent of the Fund must be approved in conformity with the
requirements of the 1940 Act and any order of the Securities
and Exchange Commission that may address the applicability of
such requirements in the case of the Fund. Any such
amendment must be in writing and signed by each party.

Schedule I
Dated as of June 10, 2016
to the
Money Manager Agreement (the Agreement)
Dated as of June 10, 2016
between
TPH Asset Management LLC (the Manager) and
TIFF Investment Program for its TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (the
Fund)
Fee Calculation
Compensation
As compensation for the services performed and the facilities
and personnel provided by the Manager for the Fund pursuant
to this Agreement, the Fund will pay to the Manager (i) an asset
based fee (the Investment Management Fee) plus (ii) a
performance based fee (the Performance Based Fee), each as
described below.
All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule I shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
Investment Management Fee: The Fund will pay the Manager
an asset based Investment Management Fee equal to the Fee
Rate, calculated monthly as of the last day of the calendar
month, based on the average daily net assets (gross of expenses
except custodian transaction charges, the Investment
Management Fee, and the Performance Based Fee) of the
Managed Assets for the month to which the fee relates.
For purposes of this calculation the Fee Rate per annum is
determined based on TIFF Net Assets Contributed as of the date
of calculation, where TIFF Net Assets Contributed is (i) the
aggregate contributions made by funds or accounts advised by
TIFF Advisory Services, Inc., or its affiliates, to separate accounts
or pooled investment vehicles managed by the Manager or its
affiliates pursuant to an investment strategy similar to that
being pursued on behalf of the Fund under the Agreement,
reduced by (ii) withdrawals of such contributions, but excluding
withdrawals of income or gains:
If TIFF Net Assets Contributed are:
The Fee Rate is:
Less than $70,000,000
1.00% per annum on all assets
$70,000,000 - $125,000,000
0.65% per annum on all assets
Greater than $125,000,000
0.55% per annum on all assets
For the avoidance of doubt, the payment of fees hereunder out
of the Managed Assets shall not be considered to be a
withdrawal.
The Investment Management Fee will be paid no later than the
last day of the month immediately following the end of the
month to which the fee relates and will be prorated for any
period that is less than a full calendar month. The Investment
Management Fee will be paid from the Managed Assets.
Certain Defined Terms
Calculation Period: Calculation Period means the period that (a)
begins on the later of (i) January 1, (ii) June 20, 2016, or other
such date as the parties may agree in writing, with respect to
the initial Managed Assets, or (iii) as to any subsequent Tranche
(as defined below), the date of the contribution pertaining to
that Tranche or such other date as the parties may agree in
writing; and (b) ends on the earlier of (i) with respect to a
Tranche (or portion thereof) from which a complete or partial
withdrawal is made, the date of such withdrawal, or (ii)
December 31 of such year, even if less than 12 full months. For
the avoidance of doubt, the payment of fees hereunder out of
the Managed Assets shall not be considered to be a withdrawal.
High Water Xxxx: A separate High Water Xxxx shall be
calculated for each Tranche. The High Water Xxxx for the first
Calculation Period of each Tranche established in respect of
Managed Assets shall be equal to the amount of the
contribution pertaining to such Tranche. For each subsequent
Calculation Period, the High Water Xxxx for each Tranche shall
be determined as follows: (i) if a Performance Based Fee was
paid in respect of a Tranche for a Calculation Period, the High
Water Xxxx for the immediately succeeding Calculation Period
shall be equal to the Opening Balance of the Net Asset Value
Memorandum Account for such Tranche for such succeeding
Calculation Period; and (ii) if no Performance Based Fee was
paid in respect of a Tranche for a Calculation Period, the High
Water Xxxx shall remain at its prior level for the immediately
succeeding Calculation Period.
In the event of a withdrawal of a portion of a Tranche (i) on a
date other than December 31, the High Water Xxxx in respect
of the remaining Managed Assets in such Tranche for the
Calculation Period in which the withdrawal occurred shall be
adjusted, or (ii) on December 31, if no Performance Based Fee
was paid in respect of the Tranche from which the assets were
withdrawn, the High Water Xxxx in respect of such Tranche for
the Calculation Period immediately following the Calculation
Period in which the withdrawal occurred shall be determined, in
each case, by multiplying the High Water Xxxx then in effect by
(a) one (1), minus (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
dollar amount withdrawn and the denominator of which is the
net asset value of the Managed Assets attributable to that
Tranche on the date of, but prior to, the withdrawal.
Hurdle: A separate Hurdle shall be calculated for each Tranche.
A memorandum account shall be established for each Tranche
(a Hurdle Memorandum Account), each with an opening value
(Opening Value) to be determined in accordance with this
paragraph. The Opening Value for each Tranches first
Calculation Period shall be equal to such Tranches Opening
Balance. For each subsequent Calculation Period, the Opening
Value of the Hurdle Memorandum Account for each Tranche
shall be determined as follows: (i) if a Performance Based Fee
was paid in respect of a Tranche for a Calculation Period, the
Opening Value of the Hurdle Memorandum Account for the
immediately succeeding Calculation Period shall be equal to the
Opening Balance of the Net Asset Value Memorandum Account
for such Tranche for such succeeding Calculation Period; and (ii)
if no Performance Based Fee was paid in respect of a Tranche
for a Calculation Period, the Ending Value (as defined below) of
the Hurdle Memorandum Account for such Tranche as of the
last day of the Calculation Period just ended shall be the
Opening Value of the Hurdle Memorandum Account for such
Tranche in the immediately succeeding Calculation Period.
In the event of a withdrawal of a portion of a Tranche on a date
other than December 31, the Opening Value of the Hurdle
Memorandum Account in respect of the remaining Managed
Assets in such Tranche for the Calculation Period in which the
withdrawal occurred shall be adjusted by multiplying the
Opening Value of such Hurdle Memorandum Account by (i) one
(1), minus (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar
amount withdrawn and the denominator of which is the net
asset value of the Managed Assets attributable to that Tranche
on the date of, but prior to, the withdrawal.
In the event of a withdrawal of a portion of a Tranche on
December 31, if no Performance Based Fee was paid in respect
of the Tranche from which the assets were withdrawn, the
Opening Value of the Hurdle Memorandum Account in respect
of such Tranche for the Calculation Period immediately
following the Calculation Period in which the withdrawal
occurred shall be determined by multiplying the Ending Value of
such Hurdle Memorandum Account for such Tranche as of the
last day of the Calculation Period just ended by (i) one (1),
minus (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar
amount withdrawn and the denominator of which is the net
asset value of the Managed Assets attributable to that Tranche
on the date of, but prior to, the withdrawal.
The ending value (the Ending Value) of the Hurdle
Memorandum Account for each Tranche for each Calculation
Period shall be equal to the Opening Value of the Hurdle
Memorandum Account for such Calculation Period multiplied by
the sum of (i) one (1), plus (ii) the percentage return of the
Alerian MLP Total Return Index symbol: AMZX for such
Calculation Period.
Opening Balance: A memorandum account shall be established
for each Tranche (each a Net Asset Value Memorandum
Account), each with an opening balance (Opening Balance) to
be determined in accordance with this paragraph. The Opening
Balance for the first Calculation Period of each Tranche
established in respect of Managed Assets shall be equal to (a) in
respect of the initial Managed Assets placed with the Manager
on or about June 13, 2016, the closing net asset value of the
Managed Assets of such Tranche as of June 17, 2016 or such
other date as the parties may agree in writing; and (b) for each
subsequent Tranche, (i) the amount of the contribution
pertaining to such Tranche or (ii) if the Calculation Period for
such Tranche begins on a date other than the date of
contribution, the net asset value of the Managed Assets of such
Tranche as of such date as the parties may agree in writing. For
each subsequent Calculation Period, the Opening Balance of the
Net Asset Value Memorandum Account for each Tranche shall
be equal to (a) the net asset value of the Managed Assets of
such Tranche as of the last day of the Calculation Period just
ended, minus (b) the dollar amount of the Performance Based
Fee to be paid with respect to such Calculation Period, if any;
provided, however, that in the event of a withdrawal of a
portion of a Tranche (i) on a date other than December 31, the
Opening Balance of the Net Asset Value Memorandum Account
in respect of the remaining Managed Assets in such Tranche for
the Calculation Period in which the withdrawal occurred shall be
adjusted, or (ii) on December 31, the Opening Balance of the
Net Asset Value Memorandum Account in respect of the
remaining Managed Assets in such Tranche for the Calculation
Period immediately following the Calculation Period in which
the withdrawal occurred shall be adjusted, in each case, by
multiplying the Opening Balance of such Net Asset Value
Memorandum Account by (a) one (1), minus (b) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the dollar amount withdrawn and the
denominator of which is the net asset value of the Managed
Assets attributable to that Tranche on the date of, but prior to,
the withdrawal.
Tranches: The Managed Assets initially placed with the
Manager, and each additional contribution of assets that is
subsequently placed with the Manager, is a separate Tranche of
Managed Assets, for purposes of this Fee Schedule; provided,
however, that at the end of any Calculation Period for which a
Performance Based Fee has been paid with respect to two or
more Tranches, those two (or more) Tranches, the Opening
Balances of their respective Net Asset Value Memorandum
Accounts, and their High Water Marks shall be combined into a
single Tranche with a single High Water Xxxx and a single Net
Asset Value Memorandum Account, the Opening Balance of
which will become the Opening Value of the Hurdle
Memorandum Account for the newly formed Tranche. For
purposes of calculating the Performance Based Fee,
withdrawals from the various Tranches will be deemed to occur
on a first-in first-out basis, unless the Fund indicates otherwise
when instructing the withdrawal.
Calculation and Payment of Performance Based Fee: For each
Calculation Period, the Performance Based Fee pertaining to a
Tranche will be equal to 20% of the amount, if any, by which the
net asset value of the Managed Assets attributable to that
Tranche at the end of the Calculation Period exceeds the
greater of (i) the Ending Value of the Hurdle Memorandum
Account applicable to that Tranche for such Calculation Period
or (ii) the High Water Xxxx applicable to that Tranche for such
Calculation Period (the Outperformance); provided, however,
that in the event of a withdrawal of a portion of a Tranche on a
date other than December 31, the Performance Based Fee
pertaining to such withdrawn assets shall be determined
immediately prior to such withdrawal as just described and
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the dollar
amount withdrawn and the denominator of which is the net
asset value of the Managed Assets attributable to that Tranche
on the date of, but prior to, the withdrawal. Performance
Based Fees shall be payable in arrears in the month that follows
the last calendar month of the Calculation Period. Performance
Based Fees and payment thereof shall be calculated separately
for each Tranche. Performance Based Fees shall be paid from
the applicable Tranche.
