Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
A. Fee Schedule
Cicero will generally charge an annual management fee not to exceed two percent (2%) of a client’s
assets under management and/or a fixed annual fee starting at $15,000.
CICERO
Cicero’s affiliates, Cicero Capital Investments, LLC (“CCI”) and Cicero Strategic Alpha GP, LLC
(“CSA”), will receive annual incentive compensation equal to 20% of the net capital appreciation
from the Private Funds for which they serve as the General Partner. The incentive compensation is
payable at the end of each Private Fund’s fiscal year, subject to a high-water mark (if applicable), and
may be reduced or waived at the discretion of CCI or CSA.
Management Fees charged by Cicero are established in the offering documents for each Private Fund,
the prospectus of the Mutual Fund, or a client’s investment advisory agreement with Cicero.
B. Fee Billing
Cicero’s management fees are generally billed and paid monthly or quarterly in arrears and are
prorated for partial periods. Management Fees may be reduced or waived at the discretion of Cicero.
Fees are negotiable.
C. Other Fees
In addition to investment management fees, investors may incur additional expenses which include
but are not limited to accounting, auditing and third party fund administrator fees. Custodians may
charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds, futures, options and exchange-
traded funds. These transaction charges are usually small and incidental to the purchase or sale of a
security. The selection of the security is more important than the nominal fee that the custodian
charges to buy or sell the security.
D. Prepaid Fees
Investment management fees are billed monthly or quarterly, in arrears, meaning that clients are
invoiced after the billing period has ended.
A client may terminate an advisory agreement at any time by notifying Cicero in writing and paying
any earned fees. If the client has made an advance payment, Cicero will refund any unearned portion
of the advance payment. Cicero may terminate an advisory agreement at any time by notifying the
