| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/31/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Management Fees The offering or transactional documents (e.g., offering memoranda and other governing documents, which include but are not limited to, operating agreements, fee agreements and side letters) (such documents “Materials”) for each Fund contain a detailed description of the fees applicable to an investment in such Fund. The Adviser receives a monthly management fee, in arrears (“Management Fee”) equal to 0.083% (at a 1.0% annualized rate) in connection with its investment management services to the Funds. The Management Fee is calculated and payable to the Adviser monthly, in arrears, as of the last day of each month. A pro-rata Management Fee is charged on any capital contributions accepted by the Funds other than at month-end. No part of the Management Fee will be refunded in the event that an investor withdraws, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, fully or partially other than at month-end. The Adviser, in its sole discretion, may waive or reduce the Management Fee with respect to one or more investors (including affiliates of the General Partners or the Adviser) for any period of time, or agree to apply a different Management Fee for any investor (all such arrangements in the form of a rebate or otherwise) in such circumstances, the Adviser will be under no obligation to extend that arrangement to other investors. Performance Fees The General Partners will be entitled to receive a performance allocation (“Performance Allocation”) at the close of each fiscal year (or such other period that this reallocation is made in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, as the case may be) (the “Performance Allocation Date”) in respect of each investor’s capital account. A Performance Allocation will only be due and payable in circumstances where the net asset value in respect of an investor’s capital account (including realized and unrealized gains and net of the Management Fee) exceeds the “high water mark” described in the Materials. The amount of the Performance Allocation for the 90/10 Fund in respect of an investor’s capital account as of a particular Performance Allocation Date will be an amount equal to (i) ten percent (10%) of net gain up to an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the high water mark (the “Hurdle Amount”) and (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the net gain in excess of the Hurdle Amount; provided that if the measurement period for calculating the amount by which the net asset value in respect of an investor’s capital account (including realized and unrealized gains and net of the Management Fee) on the Performance Allocation Date exceeds the high water mark on that date. The amount of the Performance Allocation for the Advantage Fund will be twenty percent (20%) of the amount by which the net asset value in respect of an investor’s capital account (including realized and unrealized gains and net of the Management Fee) on the Performance Allocation Date exceeds the high water mark on that date. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may waive or reduce its Performance Allocation with respect to any investors for any period of time, or agree to modify any such Performance Allocation for that investor without extending that arrangement to other investors. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may reallocate a portion of its Performance Allocation to certain investors. Organizational and Initial Offering Expenses The Funds’ organizational and initial offering expenses were previously paid and have been fully amortized for accounting purposes. Operating Expenses The Funds shall pay or reimburse the General Partner and its affiliates for (i) all expenses incurred in connection with the ongoing offer and sale of interests, including without limitation, documentation of performance and the admission of investors and any expenses associated with establishing the Fund as a feeder fund in a “master- feeder” structure properly allocable to the Fund, (ii) all operating expenses of the Fund such as tax preparation fees, governmental fees and taxes, external administration fees and costs, communications with investors, and ongoing legal, accounting, auditing, bookkeeping, consulting and other professional fees and expenses, including without limitation consulting fees and costs with respect to procurement, cybersecurity, analysis, legal, accounting, financial management and insurance services, (iii) all Fund trading and investment costs and expenses (e.g., brokerage commissions, expenses related to short sales, custodial fees and clearing and settlement charges), (iv) all fees and expenses of research, consulting services, hardware, software, data and other technology and communications utilized in the Fund’s trading and investment activities, including without limitation legal, research, accounting, investor reporting, tracking, ledger systems, financial management, third-party due diligence, and cybersecurity software; provided that any research and trading expenses incurred jointly for the Fund and other clients of the General Partner or the Adviser that are not identifiable to a particular account will be allocated among the Fund and such clients in accordance with the net asset value of the Fund and the net asset value of each such client, the size of the investment made by each of the Fund and such client in the activity giving rise to the expense, or in such other manner as the General Partner deems fair and equitable; (v) all insurance insuring the Fund, including without limitation directors and officers liability, fidelity bond, cybersecurity, errors and omissions liability, crime coverage, property and casualty and general partnership liability insurance; (vi) all fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, prosecution or defense of any claims, assertion of rights or pursuit of remedies, by or against ... |
