Client Payment of Fees
Brandywine’s management fees in regard to Collective Investment Trust (CITs) are paid to
Brandywine monthly by the fund’s trustee, Alta Trust Company.
Brandywine’s Management Fee, charged by its private limited partnerships, is billed
quarterly in advance, meaning the fund is billed within the first week of each quarter. With
regard to Separately Managed Accounts, management fees are usually charged monthly in
advance and deducted from a designated client account to facilitate billing. The client must
Brandywine Asset Management, Inc.
consent in advance to the direct debiting of their investment account. Brandywine Collective
Investment Trust charges fees daily and pays them to Brandywine at the end of each month.
Brandywine’s Performance fee for its private limited partnership is billed at the end of each
calendar year. Brandywine’s Performance fee for its Separately Managed Accounts is billed at
the end of each calendar quarter.
Additional Client Fees Charged
Also in addition to the asset management and/or performance-based fee assessed to clients
in any Fund or Separately Managed Account managed by Brandywine, each Fund or Account
(referred to as “Account”) bears all costs and expenses directly related to its investment
program, including: costs associated with specific investment transactions affected or
positions held for a Account’s account including all fees and costs of the purchase of and the
sale of interests in all investments of an Account; underwriting and private placements;
brokerage commissions; custody fees and any withholding or transfer taxes imposed on the
Account. The Account also bears all out-of-pocket costs of the administration of an Account,
including accounting, audit and legal expenses, research and research-related expenses, and
costs associated with reporting and providing information to existing and prospective
Account investors. An Account’s operator may, however, in its sole discretion, choose to
absorb any such expenses incurred on behalf of the Account. The above list and description of
costs and investments that an Account may bear is not complete. Thus, investors should refer
to the offering document for each Account for a complete description and list of costs and
expenses that each Account may bear.
For more details on the brokerage practices, see Item 12 of this brochure.
External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
Brandywine does not receive any external compensation for the sale of securities to clients,
but investment advisor representatives of Brandywine may receive commissions for the sale
of securities as registered representatives of unaffiliated broker dealers.
This represents a conflict of interest because it gives an incentive to recommend products
based on the commission received. As registered representatives, investment advisor
representatives of Brandywine do not charge advisory fees for the services offered through
unaffiliated broker dealers. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that investment advisor
representatives of Brandywine have a fiduciary responsibility to place the best interest of
the client first and clients are not required to purchase any products or services. Clients have
the option to purchase these products through another registered representative of their
choosing. |

Item 8: Investment Programs, Strategies, and Risk of Loss
Investment Programs
Brandywine is a specialist firm, offering investment advisory services built around its
“Return Driver” and “Risk Replacement” models. These include the Brandywine Enhanced
and Target Date Funds developed for 401(k) and other qualified retirement plans, and a
hedge fund and managed account program. Brandywine’s “Risk Replacement” is an
investment methodology in which an underlying benchmark (such as the S&P 500 or U.S.
Aggregate Bond index) exposure is maintained, but a portion of the risk of owning the index
is offset with option protection and, in its original form, replaced by the lower risk of holding
a smaller allocation made to Brandywine’s Return Driver Diversifier.
Investment Strategy
Brandywine Asset Management, Inc.
While Brandywine’s specific investment strategy is dependent upon the investment program
selected for each fund or separately managed account, Brandywine applies a common
philosophy and research approach.
Brandywine’s underlying philosophy is based on the belief the reduced loss can lead to
increased returns over time. This has led to Brandywine using options to protect downside
exposure, as well as combining multiple uncorrelated trading strategies – each designed to
profit from a logical, distinct Return Driver – into a balanced and systematically executed
“Return Driver Diversifier” that is structured to pay for the cost of the option protection. An
example of a commonly recognized Return Driver is that of corporate earnings growth
powering the long-term performance of equities. But Brandywine expands its Return Driver
Diversifier well beyond that of the typical equity investor. Brandywine’s investment
strategies are designed to exploit a diversity of Return Drivers based on behavioral,
fundamental, arbitrage and quantitative factors. Applied to a wide range of global markets,
these strategies produce returns that are uncorrelated with those of all other investment
benchmarks.
Material Risks
The transactions in which Brandywine generally will engage involve trading risks. Growing
competition in the markets as well as the development of sophisticated technology that is
able to discover investment opportunities more rapidly may limit Brandywine’s ability to
take advantage of opportunities in rapidly changing markets.
It is possible that some of the trading strategies selected by Brandywine will not meet all of
the above criteria, and that some or all of the investments selected by Brandywine will not
perform as anticipated. The summary above is based upon numerous assumptions and
opinions of Brandywine concerning financial markets and other matters, the accuracy of
which cannot be assured. There can be no assurance that Brandywine’s investment strategy
will achieve profitable results, and results may vary substantially over time. Past
performance of Brandywine or its affiliates is not indicative of future results. Investors risk
the loss of their entire investment. Because of the nature of Brandywine’s investment
programs, a clients’ results will fluctuate from month to month and from period to period.
Accordingly, clients should understand that the results of a particular period will not
necessarily be indicative of results in future periods. Clients face the following investment
risks and should discuss these risks with Brandywine:
• Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less
attractive, causing their market values to decline.
• Market Risk: The price of a security may drop in reaction to tangible and
• intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external factors independent of
a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example, political, economic and social
conditions may trigger market-wide reactions not necessarily associated with any given
individual security’s underlying fundamentals or other investment characteristics. Regardless
of how well individual companies or securities perform, the value of a client’s investment
portfolio may decline due to deterioration within broader economic market conditions.
• Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more than a
dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
Brandywine Asset Management, Inc.
• Currency Risk: Non-domestic investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the
dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred
to as exchange rate risk.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
