Item 5 Fees and Compensation
In consideration for CCAM’s investment advisory and other services, CCAM generally is entitled to receive
management fees, and performance fees, with respect to the CLOs. While the fees and compensation
applicable to each Client are described in detail in the applicable governing/ constituent documents and/or
collateral management or investment management agreements, an overview of CCAM’s basic fee schedule
is summarized below. A potential investor should read and review all governing documents in their entirety
before making any investment decisions.
Fee Schedules
CLOs
CCAM receives management fees in connection with the investment management services it provides
to each of its CLO clients and is also permitted to receive performance fees, carried interest, or other
incentive compensation related to the performance of each CLO. Such management fees, carried
interest, performance fees, or other compensation are generally established at the beginning of the
advisory relationship with each CLO. Specific details of such compensation and its method of
calculation are set out in the offering materials, disclosure documents, collateral management
agreements, and the constituent documents of each CLO. Such compensation, once the relevant CLO
is established, is generally not negotiable, though CCAM has, and may in the future, enter into strategic
partnerships, side letter agreements, or other arrangements with specific investors in the CLOs whereby
such investors receive direct or indirect reductions of management fees or other compensation payable
with respect to their investments managed by CCAM, in each case consistent with the constituent
documents of each CLO. CCAM receives management fees from its CLO clients as part of the regular
quarterly distributions for each CLO as set forth in the indenture for each CLO and CCAM’s collateral
management agreement for such CLO.
CLO Management Fees
CCAM charges management fees at an annual rate of up to approximately 0.50% of the defined asset
value calculated for each CLO for which it provides investment advisory services. Such management
fees are generally structured with a portion of such fee payable as a senior management fee and a portion
payable as a subordinated management fee. Management fees are typically payable quarterly in arrears
and are dependent in part on certain cash distribution constraints set forth in the constituent documents
for each CLO. The specific management fees, payment terms, and calculation and valuation methods
for each CLO are described in detail in the offering documents for each CLO.
CLO Performance-Related Compensation
CCAM is also permitted to receive performance fees, carried interest, or other incentive compensation
from the CLOs. Such performance fees generally constitute an amount of up to 20% of the CLO’s
excess cash flow in excess of the relevant preferred return or hurdle rate for each CLO. The specific
performance fees, payment terms, and calculation and valuation methods for each CLO are described
in detail in the offering documents for each CLO.
Other Expenses Related to CLOs
In accordance with the terms of the CCAM’s collateral management agreements with the CLOs, the
CLOs generally reimburse CCAM from time to time for certain out-of-pocket expenses related to the
services provided by CCAM and third parties to the funds. Among other things, the CLOs typically
reimburse CCAM for fees and expenses relating to establishing the fund, accountants, rating agencies,
loan pricing services, software providers, custodial fees, commissions, trade settlement fees, legal and
consultant fees and expenses, software or information technology fees and expenses of CCAM
primarily related to the provision of services to the client account, exchange fees, bank service fees,
income withholding or transfer taxes, and fees of other service providers. To the extent such expenses
relate to more than one CLO managed by CCAM, such expenses are allocated among fund accounts,
typically pro-rata based on net assets of each CLO for the applicable allocation period.
The CLOs typically also pay other fees in connection with CCAM’s advisory services relating to the
establishment or ongoing operation of the funds. These additional fees may include those of the CLO’s
trustee, collateral administrator, administrator, accountants, lawyers, rating agencies, and regulators.
The CLOs also bear any brokerage commissions, mark ups/downs or other transaction fees for the
CLO’s investment and brokerage transactions. As noted above, the CLOs bear expenses related to
portfolio transactions. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for a discussion of CCAM’s brokerage
practices.
Pursuant to the mandates of certain non-CLO clients, CCAM may and does invest such client assets in
the equity and debt tranches of various CLOs, including but not limited to CLOs managed by CCAM
and Trinitas. When a client invests in a CLO, they will pay two sets of fees and expenses, those charged
and incurred/allocated by CCAM, and those charged and incurred/allocated by the CLO manager.
Neither CCAM nor Trinitas apply any management fee offset for client assets invested in a CCAM or
Trinitas CLO. To the extent CCAM causes a client to invest in a CCAM or Trinitas CLO, there
potentially will be an apparent conflict of interest, because CCAM and/or its affiliate will collectively
earn two sets of management fees on the same assets.
RIC
Subject to the provisions of a sub-advisory agreement with the RIC, CCAM will provide a continuous
investment program for the Client and determine the composition of the assets of the Client, including
the determination of the purchase, retention or sale of the securities, cash and other investments for the

Item 7 Types of Clients As discussed in Item 4 of this Brochure, CCAM provides investment advisory services to CLOs, a Private Fund, and certain Institutional Accounts, and investment sub-advisory services to the RIC and other Institutional Accounts. Investment in the CLOs is generally only available to institutional investors and certain high net worth individuals that are “accredited investors” and “qualified purchasers” or non-“U.S. persons” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the 1940 Act, as applicable. The CLOs may have a specified minimum investment amount set forth in their offering documentation. These minimum amounts may be subject to discretion on the part of CCAM to permit a smaller investment amount with respect to any investor in a particular CLO. CCAM anticipates that a broad range of institutional investors and high net worth individuals meeting the criteria set forth above will invest in CLOs managed by CCAM. In addition, CCAM may, from time to time serve as the general partner or manager, or otherwise administrate, certain private funds formed for the purpose of facilitating investments by investors in the CLOs it manages, potentially during the term of a CLO. Generally, investors participating in the Private Fund are required to meet certain suitability and net worth qualifications, such as being either (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and that, in each case, are also a “qualified purchaser” as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the 1940 Act; or (ii) a non-U.S. person in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S under the Securities Act and applicable eligibility requirements of the Private Fund; and (iii) in accordance with any other applicable law. As such, the Private Fund, CCAM manages is exempt from registration as an investment company through the exemption provided by Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. This Brochure is not an offer (or solicitation of an offer) to invest in Funds or otherwise obtain CCAM’s advisory services. Prior to investing in any Fund, an investor should review the relevant offering materials for important information concerning the objectives, policies, strategies, risks, fees, and other important information regarding a Fund as set forth in the prospectus, confidential private offering circular, or private offering memorandum for such Fund. Although this publicly available Brochure describes investment advisory services and products of CCAM, persons who receive this Brochure should be aware that it is designed solely to provide information about CCAM as necessary to respond to certain disclosure obligations under the Advisers Act. As such, the information in this Brochure may differ from information provided in the relevant governing documents for the Funds. More complete information about each Fund is included in its relevant governing documents. To the extent that there is any conflict between discussions herein and similar or related discussions in any governing documents for a Fund, the relevant governing documents shall govern and control. |
