Ascent Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) agrees to pay or absorb the expenses of Global
Real Estate Investments Fund (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, or to waive fees payable to
the Adviser under the Investment Management Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust (the
“Advisory Agreement”), or both, in such amounts as may be necessary to limit ordinary annual
operating expenses of the Trust’s shares (including all organization and offering expenses, but
excluding interest, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) (“Operating Expenses”) to the
following per annum rate as a percentage of average daily net assets (the “Expense Limitation”):
Type of Security | Expense Limitation | |
Common |
2.75% |
This Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect unless and until the Board of Trustees
of the Trust approves its modification or termination; provided, however, that this Expense
Limitation Agreement will terminate in the event that the Advisory Agreement is terminated by the
Trust without the consent of the Adviser.
Excess Expense Reimbursement Agreement
The Trust, subject to the Expense Limitation, agrees to reimburse the Adviser for any
Operating Expenses in excess of the Expense Limitation that are paid or absorbed by the Adviser
(including through waiver of the Adviser’s fee) pursuant to the agreement set forth above (“Excess
Expenses”). Such reimbursement will be made as promptly as possible, and to the maximum extent
permissible, without causing the Operating Expenses for any year to exceed the Expense Limitation;
provided, however, that such reimbursement for Excess Expenses shall be made only if payable within
three years of the end of the fiscal year in which such Excess Expenses were incurred. This
agreement of the Trust to reimburse the Adviser for Excess Expenses shall terminate in the event
the Adviser terminates the Advisory Agreement without the consent of the Trust.
