Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Arini generally charges each applicable Advisory Client an asset-based investment management fee
calculated on the value of that Advisory Client’s assets under management, which are generally
paid in advance. In addition, certain Advisory Clients also pay Arini a performance-based fee or
incentive allocation. These fees/allocations are compensation to Arini that is based on a share of
capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of the respective Advisory Client. Fund
Investors generally are subject to these management fees and/or performance-based fees or
incentive allocations, as applicable, through their investment in a particular Fund. Arini fees are
generally deducted from each Private Investment Fund account by the respective Fund’s
administrator. The specific manner in which fees are charged by and paid to Arini is established in
written agreements with the Funds. For the details concerning applicable fees, including the
calculation and payment of the fees, for Advisory Clients, please refer to the respective Fund’s
offering documents.
Arini generally charges performance-based compensation to applicable Advisory Clients. Details
regarding the calculation and payment of the performance-based compensation for specific
Advisory Clients are contained within the respective Advisory Client’s governing documents.
Arini US has entered into a cost-plus service agreement with Arini UK with respect to the advisory
services provided through the sub-advisory agreement for the current financial year.
For managing CLOs, Arini receives management fees and may receive performance-based fees in
connection with its serving as collateral manager, sponsor and/or originator to the CLOs. The
specific fee rates and the methodology for calculating and billing these fees are described in detail
in the governing documents of the CLOs.
With respect to certain Advisory Clients, the performance-based compensation is paid to Arini’s
affiliate (instead of Arini). Accordingly, to the extent applicable, Arini and such affiliate are
collectively referred to in this Item 5 and Item 6 as “Arini”.
The management fee for certain Advisory Clients may have transaction fee offsets. For applicable
Advisory Clients, the specific information regarding the transaction fee offsets is contained within
the respective Advisory Client’s governing documents.
Some Fund Investors pay more or less than other Fund Investors for the same management services,
depending, for example, on when a Fund Investor subscribes (e.g., on a Fund’s inception date),
investment strategy, number of related investment accounts or total client assets under management
with Arini. In this regard, Arini has waived or modified fees (and may continue to do so) for
Advisory Clients owned by, or Fund Investors that are, members, principals, employees or affiliates
of Arini and relatives of such persons and certain early, large or strategic investors.
In addition to paying investment management fees and/or incurring performance-based
