Item 5 Fees and Compensation
A. Advisory Fees
ONTARIO compensates ONTARIO in the form of management fees (the
“Management Fee”) for rendering advisory services to the Funds. ONTARIO receives
performance-based fees (the, “Performance Allocation”) derived from each
Partner’s/Shareholder’s share of net profits and additional details regarding the
compensation terms are as follows:
(a) Management Fees
ONTARIO’s management fee is equal to 1/12th of 1.8% (per annum) of the beginning
capital account value of each limited partner/shareholder, prior to any withdrawals
or distributions.
(b) Performance-Based Fees
ONTARIO receives a performance profit allocation in an amount equal to twenty
percent (20%) of each Partner’s/Shareholder’s share of the Funds’ Net Profits. Such
Performance Allocation shall be subject to a loss carry-forward provision (“High
Water Mark”) so that no Performance Allocation will be deducted from any
Partner’s/Shareholder’s Capital Account until prior losses allocated to such
Partner/Shareholder have been recouped.
B. Billing Procedures
(a) Management Fees
ONTARIO’s fee for management of the Funds is paid monthly in advance. The
Management Fee will be appropriately prorated to reflect any capital withdrawals
and contributions which occur during a calendar month. ONTARIO may, in its sole
discretion, reduce, waive, or calculate differently the Management Fee with respect
to any Limited Partner/Shareholder, including, without limitation, Limited
Partners/Shareholders that are members, affiliates, or employees of ONTARIO,
members of the immediate families of such persons and trusts or other entities for
their benefit.
(b) Performance-Based Fees
The Performance Allocation is payable to ONTARIO generally after the end of each
calendar year; provided, however, Performance Allocations may be made at any
time, in the sole discretion of ONTARIO, for any Limited Partner/Shareholder who
makes a substantial withdrawal. ONTARIO reserves the right, in its sole discretion,
to reduce, waive, or defer the Performance Allocation with respect to any Limited
Partnership Interest/Shareholder Shares.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
There may be additional fees or charges that result from the maintenance of or
trading within your account. These fees are imposed by third parties in connection
with investments made through the your account, including but not limited to, no-
load mutual fund 12(b)-1 distribution fees, certain deferred sales charges on
previously purchased mutual funds, IRA and Qualified Retirement Plan fees, and
also acquired fund fees and expenses.
D. Refund Policy
ONTARIO does not have a refund policy.
E. Other Compensation
ONTARIO does not accept any compensation other than Management Fees and the
Performance Allocation Fees as heretofore described.
