Ex. 99.(d)(xvii)
Addendum to Management Agreement
between Lord Xxxxxx Investment Trust
and Lord, Xxxxxx & Co. LLC
DATED: OCTOBER 20, 1993 (THE "AGREEMENT")
Lord, Xxxxxx & Co. LLC and Lord Xxxxxx Investment Trust (the "Trust")
on behalf of Lord Xxxxxx Diversified Equity Strategy Fund (the "Fund") do hereby
agree that (a) the annual management fee rate for the Fund with respect to
paragraph 2 of the Agreement shall be as follows: 0.10 of 1% of average daily
net assets of the Fund, provided that such management fee charged is based on
services provided that are in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services
provided pursuant to the advisory contract for any "acquired company." Since
Lord Xxxxxx Diversified Equity Strategy Fund (an "acquiring company") is
permitted to invest in shares of another investment company (an "acquired
company") that is in the same "group of investment companies" as the Lord Xxxxxx
Diversified Equity Strategy Fund, the terms quoted in this sentence shall have
the same meaning (which shall be incorporated by reference into this addendum)
as provided under Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Act"). In addition, the parties hereby agree that the repayment
provisions pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Agreement shall not be applicable to
the Fund.
For purposes of Section 15 (a) of the Act, this Addendum and the Agreement
shall together constitute the investment advisory contract of the Fund.
