ITEM 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION
Investment Advisory Fees and Billing Method
PRIVATE FUND MANAGEMENT
Emerald DLA receives investment advisory fees from the Funds we advise. These fees are paid by the Fund
but are ultimately borne by the Fund’s investors. The offering documents of the Fund set forth the
applicable investment advisory fees.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
Emerald DLA’s fees are based on a percentage of assets under management and are billed quarterly in
arrears. Fees are based on the total portfolio values, including accruals, as of the last business day of the
month. Client payment is due to the adviser promptly after billing, which is generally mailed at the
beginning of the next calendar quarter. Emerald DLA may request payment directly from a client’s account
provided that the client has agreed to the arrangement by signing the management agreement and the
client receives copies of all invoices paid. Bills for new accounts activated during the calendar quarter will
be pro‐rated so that the client pays only for the period of time during which the account was actually
managed by the adviser. The management agreement can be terminated by either party with thirty days
written notice to the other party by regular U.S mail or other acceptable means. No fee will be charged if a
new client terminates within five business days after signing the management agreement.
Our current general fee schedule is:
For the first $2,000,000 in assets: .50% per quarter
For the next $8,000,000 in assets: .475% per quarter
For assets over $10,000,000: .375% per quarter
Due to the specific nature of certain client investment programs, these fees can be negotiated depending
on the objectives and relative complexity of managing the account.
See Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations for more information about private
investment funds managed by Emerald DLA and our affiliates. Information about fees and compensation
relating to these funds are contained in each fund’s specific private placement offering memorandum,
limited partnership agreement and related subscription documents.
Other Fees and Expenses
Emerald DLA’s fees do not include custodian fees. Emerald DLA may charge clients a reasonable fee for
certain administrative and/or legal services performed on behalf of clients, which may include custody
fees.
A discussion of brokerage practices is not applicable as Emerald DLA does not select or recommend
any broker-dealers for client transactions and its primary business – transactions involving loans –
does not currently involve orders placed with or through any broker-dealer.
