Item 5. Fees and Compensation
Management fees
Blakeney is entitled to receive a management fee of up to 1.50% per annum of Net Asset
Value (“NAV”). In addition, Blakeney is entitled to receive performance based
compensation (“incentive fees”) in the event that performance exceeds a certain threshold
return and NAV is above a high water mark. The exact terms are disclosed in the
documentation of each Client Vehicle.
The management fee is payable monthly in arrears and is deducted from client assets. If an
incentive fee is involved, it is payable annually after the year-end.
All Blakeney’s Client Vehicles pay the fees that are detailed in the documentation of each
vehicle. These fees are non-negotiable and are exclusive of brokerage fees and other
transaction costs. Item 12 further describes the factors that Blakeney considers in selecting
brokers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation
(for example, commissions).
Custody and administration fees
Each Client Vehicle is subject to custody and administration fees.
The LP and Private Investment Vehicles pay administration fees in arrears each month end
based on the NAV. The RAIF pays administration fees in arrears on a quarterly basis
calculated on the average NAV during the quarter in question.
Custody fees are payable quarterly in arrears based on the average NAV of the RAIF less
cash during the quarter in question and based on the value of the assets held in custody for
the LP and Private Investment Vehicles.
Blakeney bears all of its own direct administrative and overhead expenses, including all
expenses for research, rent, salaries, wages, bonuses and other employee benefits.
Redemption fees

limited to the following:
• brokerage fees and other transaction costs;
