Investment advisory fees for separately managed accounts and sub-advised mutual funds are negotiable.
Century may charge different advisory fees for certain accounts based on the client’s particular needs, objectives,
service requirements, and other factors unique to the client’s relationship with Century. Fees charged to large
institutional clients may be subject to negotiation as a result of the initial or potential size of the accounts. There
also may be differences in advisory fees based on account inception dates. For these reasons, certain clients are and
may in the future be charged fees that are different from the standard fees set forth above.
Century generally does not enter into investment advisory agreements with “most favored nation” clauses.
However, certain institutional clients have negotiated “most favored nation” clauses in their investment advisory
agreements. These clauses require Century to decrease the fees charged to the “most favored nation” client if
Century enters into an investment advisory agreement at a lower fee rate with another institutional client. The
applicability of a “most favored nation” clause is detailed in the investment advisory agreement and may depend on
the degree of similarity between institutional clients, including reporting requirements, investment restrictions, the
amount of assets under management and the particular investment strategy selected by each client. Century does
not agree to “most favored nation” clauses in all circumstances.
Clients are billed for fees incurred. Typically, fees are billed quarterly. Fees are generally based upon the average
of month end net assets for the quarter and are payable in arrears. Clients do not pay Century’s fees in advance.
Clients may pay other types of fees or expenses that are related to the investment advisory services provided by
Century, including custody fees. Clients also will incur brokerage commissions and transaction costs. Please see
