Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/31/2026)

ITEM 5: FEES AND COMPENSATION
For most clients, Chatham calculates its fee based upon a percentage of the market value
of that client’s total assets under Chatham’s management, as specified in the individual
client’s advisory agreement or addendum and FPS. Management fees are calculated
quarterly in arrears on the last business day of the calendar quarter.
For separately-managed portfolios, Chatham’s standard annual fee schedule is:
1.00% on the first $2.5 million in assets
0.90% on the next $2.5 million in assets
0.65% on the next $5.0 million in assets
0.50% on assets over $10 million
For small cap institutional separate portfolios, Chatham’s standard annual fee schedule is:
0.75% on all assets
Fees may be negotiable and family-related portfolios may have their assets combined and
prorated for billing purposes. The fee schedule is discounted by 10% for eleemosynary
(charitable) accounts.
Chatham directs the custodian to deduct Chatham’s investment advisory fees directly
from client portfolios where clients have provided prior written authorization for this
option. Clients are also offered the option of being billed by Chatham and paying their
fees directly (instead of having them deducted from their portfolio) if they prefer. In the
event of termination of an advisory relationship, Chatham prorates the advisory fee for
the period in which services were rendered. Chatham may also prorate the advisory fee
at the outset of the relationship.
For each private fund, the investment management fee is 1.0% of the market value of the
fund’s assets. The fee is payable quarterly in arrears in an amount equal to 0.25% of the
market value of the private fund’s assets as of the last day of each calendar quarter. Fees
are deducted directly from the relevant fund’s assets. The offering documents of each
private fund should be consulted for a complete description of fees charged to that fund.
Certain investments, such as publicly traded mutual funds and exchange-traded funds
(ETFs), contain imbedded operational and management fees that are borne by the clients.
In addition to Chatham’s advisory fee, brokerage and other transaction costs are borne by
clients directly. For more information on brokerage, see ITEM 12: BROKERAGE
PRACTICES. Clients may also be required to pay other fees, such as custodial fees,
annual account maintenance fees, and miscellaneous fees (e.g., wiring fees) as charged by
their specific custodian.
For Model Programs sponsored by unaffiliated brokers/dealers, Chatham receives fees
based on the value of the client portfolios managed according to the model strategies,
typically 0.40% of the participants’ aggregate assets under management on an annual
basis.
