ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION
Item 5.A Describe how you are compensated for your advisory services. Provide your fee
schedule. Disclose whether the fees are negotiable.
Benchmark is generally compensated for its advisory services to the Funds through a
management fee ranging from 0.50% to 1% (per annum) of each Fund’s net asset value
calculated and payable monthly in arrears.
Benchmark also receives performance-based compensation annually, paid either as a
fee or an allocation of profits, generally equal to 15% to 30% of each Fund’s net
profits in excess of certain predefined benchmarks (per annum). The incentive fee or
allocation (as applicable) is subject to a high watermark provision.
The fees payable to Benchmark generally are not negotiable. Benchmark has, in certain
instances, waived, reduced or rebated a portion of the fees or allocations that would
otherwise be payable for employees of Benchmark, their family members, affiliates
and certain large or strategic investors. In addition, Benchmark has, in certain instances,
entered into side letter agreements with certain Investors in a Fund establishing rights
under, or supplementing or altering the terms of, the applicable Governing Documents
(including without limitation, “most favored nations” rights, transparency rights,
reporting rights, capacity rights, approval rights and certain other protections and the
right to receive certain special allocations).
Further, because Benchmark charges some of its Funds a higher management fee and
performance allocation, there is a potential conflict of interest with respect to the Funds
that charge higher fees. Benchmark may have an incentive to favorably allocate
investments and refer investors to such Funds in order to increase the amount of
fees payable to Benchmark.
It is critical that investors refer to the relevant Advisory Client’s offering
documents for a complete understanding of how Benchmark is compensated for
its advisory services. This is particularly true with respect to the description of
the performance based compensation above. The information contained in this
Item 5 is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the relevant Advisory
Client’s offering documents.
Item 5.B Describe whether you deduct fees from clients’ assets or bill clients for fees
incurred. If clients may select either method, disclose this fact. Explain how often
you bill clients or deduct your fees.
Benchmark deducts fees from Investors’ assets invested in the Funds. In general, as
described above, Benchmark receives a (i) management fee based on each Advisory
Client’s net assets, payable monthly in arrears and (ii) annual incentive fee or allocation
that is charged at the end of each fiscal year (or at the time of an Investor
withdrawal/redemption). Investors generally do not have the ability to choose to be
billed directly for fees incurred. Benchmark has, however, permitted certain Investors
to be billed directly for the applicable monthly management fee, as determined in
Benchmark’s discretion.
It is critical that Investors refer to their respective Advisory Client’s offering
documents for a complete understanding of how fees are deducted from their
assets. The information contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its
entirety by the relevant Advisory Client’s offering documents.
Item 5.C Describe any other types of fees or expenses clients may pay in connection with
your advisory services, such as custodian fees or mutual fund expenses. Disclose
that clients will incur brokerage and other transaction costs, and direct clients to
the section(s) of your brochure that discuss brokerage.
The Funds will generally be responsible for payment of all costs and expenses
incurred by or on behalf of the Funds including, without limitation: directors’ fees,
legal, accounting, auditing, administrative and other professional expenses (including
costs and expenses associated with obtaining systems and other information designed
to facilitate Fund accounting or record-keeping, including related software), insurance
(including premiums for liability insurance covering the Funds and other persons),
investment expenses such as commissions, background checks on Sub-Managers,
interest on margin accounts, custodial fees, fees paid to Sub-Managers and other
reasonable expenses related to the purchase, sale or transmittal of Fund assets and the
Fund’s pro rata share of a master fund’s expenses (if applicable).
Each Fund will also be subject to its pro-rata portion of the expenses of the Sub- Funds
and Sub-Accounts (as defined in Item 8.A below) in which it invests and fees paid to
Sub-Managers. Generally, Sub-Managers are compensated or receive allocations on
terms which may include fixed and/or performance-based fees or allocations. Typically,
fixed fees, if applicable, range from 0% to 2.5% (per annum) of the average net asset
value of the Fund's investment, and annual performance fees or allocations range from
10% to 50% of the net capital appreciation or net profits above the Sub-Fund’s specified
benchmark in the applicable Fund's investment for the year. Any fee reductions
negotiated with Sub-Managers will be for the benefit of the Fund.

ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS
Describe the types of clients to whom you generally provide investment advice, such as individuals,
trusts, investment companies, or pension plans. If you have any requirements for opening or
maintaining an account, such as a minimum account size, disclose the requirements.
Benchmark provides investment advisory services to pooled investment vehicles operating as private
investment funds.
Each investor in the Funds must meet the eligibility provisions as outlined in the Funds’ offering documents.
Investors in the Funds are not required to maintain account minimums. Requirements for making an initial
investment (or capital commitment, as applicable) in the Funds are as follows:
(1) The minimum initial investment in BPOPF is $1,000,000, subject to waiver at the discretion of
Benchmark, but not below the applicable statutory minimum of $100,000;
(2) The minimum initial investment in BPP, subject to waiver at the discretion of Benchmark;
(3) The minimum initial investment in BPOIP is $5,000,000, subject to waiver at the discretion of
Benchmark, but not below the applicable statutory minimum of $100,000;
(4) The minimum initial investment in BPIP is $5,000,000, subject to waiver at the discretion of
Benchmark; and
Interests in the Funds are offered only to certain qualified investors. Admission to the Funds is not, and will
not be, open to the general public. Interests will be sold only to “accredited investors” as defined under
Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or “qualified purchasers” as
defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. |
