Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Fairway and its affiliates receive fees and compensation in exchange for managing the Funds. The Funds are also responsible for bearing certain expenses as detailed below and in each Fund’s Governing Documents. The following is a general description of fees, compensation and expenses of the Funds. Investors should refer to the Governing Documents of the applicable Fund for a complete understanding of how Fairway is compensated for its advisory services; the information contained herein is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by such documents. Management Fees Venture Funds: Fairway is entitled to a management fee of the Venture Funds of 0.25% per annum of each investor’s total capital commitments, payable quarterly in advance. If applicable, the management fee calculated with respect to a non-affiliated investor will be reduced by an amount equal to such investor’s allocable portion of all directors’ fees, managers’ fees, consulting fees, commitment fees, break-up fees and portfolio investment advisory board or investment committee member fees, relating directly to the Fund’s investments or commitments (in each case whether paid in cash or in securities, but net of unreimbursed expenses associated with the generation of such fees) received by (a) Fairway as investment manager, (b) the general partner, (c) the principals, (d) any affiliates of Fairway, the general partner or the principals, and/or (e) the investment team members. If the reduction amount in respect of an investor exceeds the amount of such investor’s management fee obligation for any quarter, the excess amount will be carried forward and applied against such investor’s management fee for succeeding quarters. Fairway reserves the right to partially or completely waive the management fee, in whole or in part, with respect to any investor in the Venture Funds or to charge different fees than those described above as may be agreed with such investor, and Fairway is entitled to enter into side letters or amend the limited partnership agreement to reflect any such fee arrangements without notice to, or the consent of, other investors. In addition, employees and certain investors who are affiliated with Fairway are not expected to bear any portion of the management fee. Registered Fund: Fairway is entitled to a management fee for the Registered Fund equal to an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average net assets, which is accrued and payable at the end of each calendar quarter (or at such other interval, not less frequently than quarterly, as the Registered Fund’s board of trustees may from time to time determine and specify in writing to Fairway). The management fee is paid to Fairway before giving effect to any repurchase of shares in the Fund effective as of that date and will decrease the net profits or increase the net losses of the Fund that are credited to its shareholders. A portion of the management fee is permitted to be paid to brokers or dealers that assist in the distribution of shares. Fairway has entered into an expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Registered Fund, whereby the Firm has agreed to reduce the management fee payable to it (but not below zero), and to pay any operating expenses of the Fund, to the extent necessary to limit the operating expenses of the Fund, excluding certain “Excluded Expenses” listed below, to the annual rate (as a percentage of the net assets of the applicable class of shares of the Fund, as calculated at the end of each calendar quarter) of 2.70% and 2.00% with respect to Class A Shares and Class I Shares, respectively (the “Expense Cap”). Excluded Expenses that are not covered by the Expense Cap include: brokerage commissions and other similar transactional expenses; interest (including interest incurred on borrowed funds and interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts); other borrowing costs and fees, including interest and commitment fees; taxes; acquired fund fees and expenses; incentive fees to be paid to Fairway; litigation and indemnification expenses; judgments; and extraordinary expenses. Performance Fees Venture Funds: The Venture Funds will pay to the relevant Fund general partner a carried interest allocation equal to 10% net of fees and expenses, calculated as portfolio investments are realized. Registered Fund: The Registered Fund will pay Fairway an incentive fee in respect of each calendar quarter of the Fund equal to 10% of the excess, if any, of the net profits of the Fund for the applicable quarter subject to a high water mark. Other Fees Investors indirectly bear a portion of the asset-based fees, performance fees or incentive fees or allocations and other expenses incurred by such Fund as an investor in the underlying funds. Generally, asset-based fees payable in connection with portfolio fund investments range from 1.00% to 2.50% (annualized) of the commitment amount of the Fund’s investment, and performance or incentive fees or allocations are typically 10% to 25% of a portfolio fund’s net profits annually, although it is possible that such amounts may be exceeded for certain underlying fund portfolio managers. The Registered Fund shareholders are also responsible for various other fees, including administration fees, compliance services fees, distribution and service fees (which shareholders in Class I do not pay) and purchasing offering charges (which shareholders in Class I do not pay). Shareholders should refer to the Governing Documents of the Registered Fund for more specific information on these other fees. Fairway may be entitled to receive topping, break-up, monitoring, directors’, organizational, set-up, advisory, investment banking, syndication and other similar fees in connection with the purchase, monitoring or disposition of the Registered Fund investments or from unconsummated transactions. ... |

Item 7 – Types of Clients Fairway provides investment advice to its Funds. The Venture Funds are exempt from registration under Sections 3(c)(1) and 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Investment Company Act”), and the Registered Fund is a closed-ended investment company registered under the Investment Company Act and the Securities Act of 1933. Both Funds limit their respective investors to “accredited investors” as defined in the Securities Act of 1933 and “qualified clients” as defined in the Advisers Act. The Venture Funds require capital commitments from each investor of at least $1 million and the Registered Fund requires capital commitments from each shareholder of at least $50,000 for Class A Shares and $250,000 for Class I Shares, although for each Fund, a Venture Fund’s general partner or the Registered Fund’s board of trustees has the ability, in its sole discretion, to accept lesser amounts. The investors participating in the Funds include, or are expected to include, high net worth individuals, other investment entities, university endowments, family offices, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates or charitable organizations, corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, fund of funds and other business entities or other service providers retained by Fairway, and include, directly or indirectly, principals and other employees of Fairway and its affiliates and members of their families. |
