Item 5. Fees and Compensation
Fees and Compensation Regarding IAM
Fees are negotiated between IAM and its clients based on the strategy and services
provided, prior to execution of the client agreement. Fees are charged either monthly or
quarterly in arrears. For the listed equity strategies, fees are either calculated by reference
to the average or month end net asset values (“NAV”) or NAV plus performance fee and
are invoiced to clients in arrears.
Fees and Compensation Regarding AIFM
Fees are negotiated between AIFM and its clients based on the strategy and services
provided, prior to execution of the client agreement.
For the PE Funds, fees are calculated by reference to committed capital during the relevant
fund’s investment period, and thereafter invested capital, and are invoiced to clients in
advance. AIFM generally charges the funds (i) a priority profit share ranging from 1.4% -
1.6% during the investment period based on total commitments and thereafter the same
rate applies to the remaining-asset cost basis and (ii) a profit share of 20% after an 8%
performance target is achieved. Since investors are generally not permitted to withdraw
or redeem their investment in a fund prior to the dissolution of the fund, refunds of
management fees are not available to investors. In the event the advisory arrangement is
terminated during a quarter, advisory fees that have been prepaid would be returned on a
prorated basis, minus reasonable expenses.
For Global Resource Optimization Fund LP (i.e., the listed equities private fund), AIFM
charges a management fee of 1.1% per annum, based upon the private fund’s NAV on the
last business day of each month; however, the general partner may assess a higher or
lower management fee to certain limited partners in its discretion.
Compensation and termination arrangements apply in accordance with client agreements.
Funds managed by AIFM pay normal transaction and brokerage charges incurred in the
management of the funds. Clients also pay the costs and charges of the custodian and
administrator.
In addition to the PE Funds’ fees described above, the PE Funds and/or their investee
companies generally bear the following fees and expenses without limitation:
• Organizational expenses, including all legal and other expenses incurred in
connection with the establishment of the PE Fund and the offering of the Interests
in the PE Fund up to an amount (excluding value-added tax) subject to limitations,
if any, as described in the governing documents, and organizational expenses in
excess of this amount and commissions payable to placement agents, brokers and
intermediaries will be paid by the investment manager.
• Operating expenses, which include, without limitation:
o All costs, charges and expenses properly incurred by the PE Fund directly
