Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Item 5A: Description
Giverny Capital Advisors bases its fees on a percentage of assets under
management. Giverny Capital Advisors may charge a lesser or greater
investment advisory fee based upon mutual agreement with the client and for
certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets, anticipated future
earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of
assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations
with clients, etc.). Lower fees for comparable services may be available from
other sources.
Item 5B: Fee Billing
Clients engage Giverny Capital Advisors to provide investment management
services on a fee-only basis. The Firm charges an annual investment
management fee based upon a percentage of the market value of the assets
managed by Giverny Capital Advisors. The annual investment management
fee charged is approximately 1.00% of the market value of a client’s assets
under management, inclusive of cash and accrued income. Lower fees for
comparable services may be available from other sources.
GCA’s annual investment management fee is paid in arrears on a calendar
quarterly basis (i.e. January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1) and calculated
based on .25% (approximately 1% per year) of the market value of a client’s
assets under management on the last trading day of the prior calendar
quarter. Unless otherwise directed by the client, GCA’s management fee is
debited directly by the custodian from the client’s account on a quarterly
basis.
If the investment management relationship begins subsequent to the
beginning of a calendar quarter, then the initial fee is prorated over the
remaining days in the initial calendar quarter and debited on the first day of
the following quarter. In the event that the client terminates the engagement
prior to the end of a calendar quarter, the investment management fee is
debited from the client’s account on a prorated basis using the number of
days in the calendar quarter that the client’s account was under management
and the market value of the account on the day the engagement was
terminated.
GCA’s fees are not adjusted to reflect account deposits or withdrawals during
a quarter, except if the deposit or withdrawal equals or exceeds 10% of the
market value of the account (measured before the deposit or withdrawal). In
the event of such a significant deposit or withdrawal, Giverny Capital Advisors
calculates its fees by separating into separate periods the portion of the
quarter occurring before the event and the portion of the quarter following it,
and then calculating fees for each period pro rata based on the number of
days in the given period and the market value of the account at the end of the
Giverny Capital Advisors LLC
period. The fees for each of the periods are then totaled to arrive at the
quarterly fee.
If a client has more than one account with Giverny Capital Advisors on which
investment advisory fees are charged, then the fees computed will be based
on the combined market value of those accounts, and the management fee
can be charged to any of the client’s underlying accounts as deemed most
appropriate by the Firm. In the situation where multiple accounts exist under
the same household, then all accounts will be treated on a combined basis for
the purpose of calculating fees, account size, and the previously mentioned
10% deposit and 10% withdrawal thresholds.
Giverny Capital Advisors reserves the right to negotiate the management fee
under certain circumstances. Giverny Capital Advisors does not impose a per
client minimum for investment management services but does have the
discretion to do so if the initial account value is deemed too small to cover
expenses related to the management of the account. The Firm considers
accounts of less than $250,000 as small in proportion to their associated
expenses.
Giverny Capital Advisors is authorized to receive its management fee directly
from a client’s custodian. The custodian does not determine whether the fee
has been properly calculated.
Giverny Capital Advisors reserves the right to terminate any client relationship
for any reason. Such termination is done in writing by the Firm and the
management fee would be prorated according to the number of days that a
client’s assets were under management by the Firm.
Fees are withdrawn directly from client accounts held at our custodian. The
custodian is sent an invoice to process the debiting of fees from client
accounts, unless an alternate arrangement has been made by the client.
Clients are sent a copy of the management fee invoice along with their
quarterly statements from Giverny Capital Advisors. The availability of this
invoice to the client occurs in a timely manner but isn’t exactly
contemporaneous with the custodian receiving an invoice for the purpose of
processing a deduction of management fees. Our custodian provides a list of
all transactions on the monthly statements it sends to our clients, including all
management fees paid on an account. Our clients provide written
authorization to Giverny Capital Advisors and to our custodian to directly
deduct management fees.
Item 5C: Other Fees
We buy and sell client securities primarily through Charles Schwab & Co., or
other custodians and executing brokers, depending on each client. There are
commission charges assessed to these transactions which are debited

Item 7: Types of Clients
Giverny Capital Advisors generally provides investment management
services to individuals, trusts, and other institutional entities. Client
relationships vary in scope and length of service. Giverny Capital Advisors
does not impose a strict per client minimum for investment management
services but does have the discretion to do so if the initial account value is
deemed too small to cover expenses related to the management of the
account. The Firm considers accounts of less than $250,000 as small in
proportion to their associated expenses.
