Frontier Capital Management Co LLC

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation

Standard Fee Schedule
Frontier is compensated for its investment advisory services through payments of fees made by
our clients. Frontier’s standard fee schedule is included below. Although fees are negotiable,
typically fees for the services described above are as follows, based upon an annual percentage
of the amount of assets under management:

Mid Cap Growth, Capital Appreciation
      All Assets - 0.75%

Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Smid Cap Value and Focus Accounts
       All Assets - 1.0%

Sub-Advisory Accounts
      All Assets - 0.40-1.00%

Notwithstanding this fee schedule, and subject to applicable laws and regulations, Frontier
retains discretion over the fees that it charges to its clients, as well as any changes in its fee
schedules. Fees may be negotiated in Frontier’s sole discretion in light of a client’s special
circumstances, such as asset levels, service requirements or other factors. In some cases,
Frontier may agree to offer clients a fee schedule that is lower than that of any other comparable
clients in the same investment style. In addition, there are historical fee schedules with
longstanding clients that differ from those applicable to new client relationships. For comparable
services, other investment advisers may charge higher or lower fees than those charged by
Frontier. Advisory fees may be subject to a specified annual minimum; however, Frontier

reserves the right to waive all or a portion of its management fee and to negotiate minimum
annual fees.
Frontier typically bills clients quarterly based either on the average of the asset value of the
account as of the last day of each month of each calendar quarter or on the asset value of the
account on the last day of the quarter. The quarterly fee is equal to one-fourth of the annual rate
specified above. For the purposes of the calculation of the fees, the value of securities in each
account is determined as of the last day of each relevant period on which the New York Stock
Exchange is open. If the Firm provides services for less than the whole of any calendar quarter,
its compensation is determined as provided above on the basis of the value of assets in the
account on the date of termination (or, if the New York Stock Exchange is not open on such date,
as of the last preceding date on which it was open) and is payable on a pro rata basis for the
period during which the Firm provided services. Unless otherwise stated in its investment
management agreement with a client, in calculating the advisory fee Frontier will adjust the asset
value of an account to take in to consideration significant contributions and withdrawals to and
from the account (i.e., typically amounts equal to or exceeding either $1 million or 5% of the
account’s prior month-end value). Fees with respect to sub-advisory accounts are typically
calculated by the account’s adviser and are paid either monthly or quarterly and are based upon
the average daily net assets of the fund.
The fees charged to clients generally are computed as a percentage of the value of the assets
under management. To calculate advisory fees, Frontier generally relies on prices provided by
third-party pricing services, custodians and/or broker/dealers or platform sponsors for purposes
of valuing portfolio securities held in client accounts. Frontier may, on occasion, be required to
“fair value price” a security when a market price for that security is not readily available or when
Frontier has reason to believe that the market price is unreliable. When “fair value pricing” a
security, Frontier will use various sources of information at its disposal to determine a fair price
that the security would obtain in the marketplace if, in fact, a market for the security existed.
Performance fees for certain products are also available, subject to applicable law, and are
negotiable. See Item 6 for further information.
Fees for Specialized Accounts and Advisory Services
Private Funds Sponsored by Frontier
Frontier acts as sponsor and investment adviser to various Private Funds that are not registered
under either the Securities Act of 1933 or the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly,
interests in these Private Funds are offered exclusively to investors satisfying the applicable
eligibility and suitability requirements either in private placement transactions within the United
States or in offshore transactions. No offer to sell these Private Funds is made by the
descriptions in this Brochure, and as noted the Private Funds are available only to investors that
are properly qualified.
The typical fee schedule for these funds is an annual management fee ranging from 0.75% to
1.00% of client assets under management, plus other expenses such as custody and accounting.
Frontier reserves the right to waive some or all fees for investors in the funds, including for

investors who are affiliated with Frontier. Fees and other terms for the funds are generally set
forth in the fund’s offering memorandum or other relevant document.
Sub-advisory Arrangements
Frontier has been engaged by certain investment advisers and collective investment trusts to
manage commingled funds sponsored by such advisers or trusts (“sub-advised funds”). In its
capacity as “sub-advisor,” Frontier’s fees and services are determined by contract with the
adviser or trust.
Information concerning these sub-advised funds, including a description of the services provided
and advisory fees, is generally contained in each fund's offering documents (e.g., prospectus or
offering memorandum), which can be obtained from the fund sponsor. Other fees payable as an
investor in a fund are described below, and also in the fund’s offering document or the adviser’s
fee brochure or client investment management agreement.
Other Investment Advisory Programs
Frontier also provides investment advice not involving discretionary management services, such

Types of Clients
As noted above, Frontier provides separate account portfolio management services to corporate
and public pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable institutions, foundations, endowments,
municipalities, mutual funds, collective investment trusts, private investment funds and other
public and private institutions. Frontier also acts as sponsor and investment adviser for various
privately offered limited partnerships that are available only to qualified institutional and
individual investors.
Conditions for Managing Accounts
As a general rule, Frontier requires a minimum account size of $5,000,000 for investors
investing through separate accounts. However, the minimum account size is negotiable and may
be waived or modified at Frontier’s discretion. In those circumstances where Frontier serves as
an adviser or sub-adviser to other funds or accounts, the account minimums are generally
determined by the relevant fund or account. Generally, Frontier requires each separate account
client to execute an investment management agreement that details the nature of the
discretionary investment advisory authority given to Frontier.
