Fees charged by BNPP AM USA are specified in a client’s investment management agreement.
Fees are payable quarterly, (although monthly, semi-annual and annual payment periods are also
used) and are generally based upon the market value of assets managed as of the end of the
preceding calendar quarter or on the average market value of assets managed within the calendar
quarter. All client fees are paid in arrears.
BNPP AM USA’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction costs and other related
costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Such costs are in addition to BNPP AM
USA’s fees and BNPP AM USA does not receive any portion of these costs. Please refer to the
section entitled “Brokerage Practices” below for further information regarding the factors that
BNPP AM USA considers in selecting and recommending broker-dealers for client transactions
and determining the reasonableness of their compensation.
In lieu of direct investment, certain strategies or client mandates may allow the Firm to invest in
one or more pooled investment funds managed/advised/sub-advised by BNPP AM USA or an
affiliate ("affiliated funds") including ETFs, collective investment funds, private funds, offshore
funds/pools, etc. A fund’s investments will be made in accordance with the fund’s offering
documents (e.g., prospectus, offering memorandum, etc.). There may be additional risks discussed
in the fund’s offering documents or governing instruments which are not discussed in this

services. BNPP AM USA may negotiate minimum asset size on a case-by-case basis.
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
BNPP AM USA’s investment philosophy is based upon the following beliefs:
FIXED INCOME
i) Systematic use of multiple alpha strategies delivers consistent returns. Our clients
are looking for consistent returns with capital preservation. We have developed a
systematic process to profitably exploit market inefficiencies in fixed income across
global markets. We believe that asset allocation is best conducted by a dedicated top-
down decision-making team able to compare relative value opportunities across all fixed
income asset classes simultaneously; while more bottom-up security selection decisions
are best left to specialist managers for each asset class. We believe this is the best way
to deliver consistent returns and avoid a series of high and low returns.
ii) Blending qualitative analysis and quantitative models yield superior results. We
believe the combination of judgmental and quantitative alpha strategies is a more
powerful way to manage fixed income and yield superior results. By using both
methods, we are able to diversify returns, and therefore generate a better risk-adjusted
return profile throughout a market cycle.
iii) Specialized, accountable and incentivized managers make better decisions. We
believe that accountability and transparency, expressed via individual risk budget
allocations, results in better decision-making. Also, providing market competitive
compensation levels and directly linking compensation with individual performance
ensures superior-performing professionals are remunerated accordingly.
iv) Management of risk ranks hand-in-hand with the search for alpha. We believe that
the successful management of fixed income portfolios in today’s market is highly
dependent upon sophisticated risk management practices. The development, integration
and utilization of risk tools must always rank among the Firm's highest priorities.
v) Constant innovation keeps us ahead of the curve. Innovation is necessary for value
creation. Sustainable advancement requires continuous innovation – and specialization
– as markets are constantly evolving. Our investment strategies and processes will
evolve over time in anticipation of these changes.
vi) Environmental, Social and Governance awareness. We believe that ESG
considerations, when combined with traditional financial analysis, can help investors to
understand a wider set of risks and opportunities and, in turn, make better-informed
investment decisions. This holds true for our US fixed income strategies, which abide
by BNPP AM’s ESG integration guidelines, that stipulate that portfolio managers should
not invest in securities without consideration of ESG and that portfolios should aim to
have a higher ESG score and lower carbon footprints than their respective benchmarks
or universes, in accordance with client guidelines.
Our clients’ portfolios are managed by a team of investment professionals. Investment decisions
are made by product heads and portfolio managers focusing on generating alpha according to their
specific expertise. All decisions are made to balance the expected return outcome with the
assessed risk of the position, in the context of the risk parameters and investment guidelines of
each client’s portfolio. Positions may be strategic and of a long-term nature, or tactical to take
advantage of short-term anomalies.
Product Solutions: The role of the product head is to manage the strategies within their product
areas. The product heads dynamically allocate risk to appropriate alpha teams and remain
responsible for performance of the overall strategy. Their role also is to ensure that the strategies
within the product area are relevant and continue to suit client needs and they are expected to
innovate and develop new strategies as markets develop and demands change. Ultimately, they
are responsible for the performance, quality and growth of the strategies within their respective
areas.
Portfolio Management: The role of the portfolio manager is to ensure portfolios are constructed
according to client guidelines and objectives such that risk is allocated to appropriate alpha
sources; risk utilization at the portfolio, alpha team and trade level is monitored; and the
combination of positions and sizing of these positions supports alpha and risk targets
specified. The portfolio manager works closely with the product head, who oversees the strategy,
and the client and client-facing teams to ensure a full understanding of the client’s investment
