5. Fees and Compensation
A. We receive compensation from our clients based on the percentage of assets under management.
Generally, we charge our clients a management fee based on a percentage of assets under
management, calculated and payable quarterly in advance. Investors admitted to the funds other than
on the first day of a calendar quarter are subject to a prorated management fee.
Additionally, our affiliates generally receive performance‐based compensation based on a percentage
of each fund investor’s annual net realized and unrealized profits at the end of each fiscal year or upon
a withdrawal event, subject to a “high water mark” limitation, and subject to a hurdle, where applicable
(see below). We typically structure our performance‐based compensation as profit‐sharing allocations
through general partner interests that our affiliates hold in our client funds. Performance‐based
compensation is allocated at the master fund levels, and no separate performance‐based compensation
is taken at the feeder fund levels.
Although fees are generally non‐negotiable, we have the discretion to waive all or a portion of the
management fee and/or the performance‐based compensation, but typically only exercise this
discretion for investors that are our affiliates or employees. In addition, we have the discretion to enter
into side letter arrangements with certain investors in our client funds in which we grant them
preferential treatment in terms of transparency, liquidity and fees.
Asset‐Based Management Fees:
Emerging Markets Fund: 1.5% of the net asset value of each Series A and Series D investor’s capital
account, annually; 1.25% of the net asset value of each Series B and Series E investor’s capital account,
annually; and 1% of the net asset value of each Series C and Series F investor’s capital account, annually.
Lorikeet Funds: 1.5% of the net asset value of the Lorikeet master fund indirectly attributable to each
Class B and Class D investor’s capital account and each Class Lorikeet E and Class Lorikeet G investor’s
capital account, annually; and 1.25% of the net asset value of the master fund indirectly attributable to
each Class C and Class E investor’s capital account and each Class Lorikeet F and Class Lorikeet H
investor’s capital account, annually.
Wei Ji Funds: 1.5% of the net asset value of each Class B investor’s capital account, annually; 1.25% of
the net asset value of each Class C investor’s capital account, annually.
Japan Chickadee Fund: 1.5% of the net asset value of each Series A investor’s capital account, annually;
1.25% of the net asset value of each Series B investor’s capital account, annually.
Performance‐Based Compensation:
Emerging Markets Fund: 20% annually of the client’s annual net profits attributable to each Series A and
Series D investor’s capital account, subject to a high water mark; and 15% annually of the client’s annual
net profits attributable to each Series B, Series C, Series E and Series F investor’s capital account, subject
to a one‐time “hurdle rate” of 5% applied to each capital contribution and a high water mark. Thus, the
performance‐based compensation for Series B, Series C, Series E and Series F interests only applies to
the extent that net profits attributable to each capital contribution measured on a cumulative basis, net
of any losses, for all fiscal years since such capital contribution was made exceeds 5%. Once the “hurdle
rate” is achieved, the performance‐based compensation applies at the close of such fiscal year to all net
profits. A high water mark ensures that we only receive performance‐based compensation when the
client’s account value is greater than its previous greatest value (reduced pro rata by any withdrawals
of capital by an investor). Should the account drop in value, then it must exceed the previous greatest
value before we can receive performance compensation again.
Lorikeet Funds: 20% annually of the Lorikeet master fund’s annual net profits indirectly attributable to
each Class B and Class D investor’s capital account and each Class Lorikeet E and Class Lorikeet G
investor’s capital account and 15% annually of the Lorikeet master fund’s annual net profits indirectly
attributable to each Class C and Class E investor’s capital account and each Class Lorikeet F and Class
Lorikeet H investor’s capital account, subject to a high water mark (as described above) and a one‐time
“hurdle rate” of 5% applied to each capital contribution (as described above).
Wei Ji Funds: 10% annually of the client’s annual net profits attributable to each Class B investor’s capital
account, subject to a high water mark (as described above); and 7.5% annually of the client’s annual net
profits attributable to each Class C investor’s capital account, subject to a high water mark.
Japan Chickadee Fund: 10% annually of the client’s annual net profits attributable to each Series A
investor’s capital account, subject to a high water mark (as described above); and 7.5% annually of the
client’s annual net profits attributable to each Series B investor’s capital account, subject to a high water
mark.
B. Management fees are deducted from client assets quarterly in advance. We generally deduct
performance‐based compensation at the end of each fiscal year (June 30th in the case of the Neon
Liberty Emerging Markets Fund Ltd.) or when investors in a client make a withdrawal or redemption
(but only on the amount withdrawn or redeemed).
C. Each client bears all its own organizational and operational expenses, as permitted by the relevant
client’s governing documents. Clients generally are responsible for the following types of organizational
and operational expenses:
• legal fees (including settlement costs);

7. Types of Clients We provide investment advisory services solely to privately pooled investment vehicles, including domestic and offshore investment funds. Investors in the funds typically include individuals, trusts, foundations, endowments, charitable organizations, pension plans and other unregistered funds. Investment Requirements To invest in any of the funds, we generally require a minimum investment of $500,000, although at times we may waive this requirement. In addition, investors must satisfy all the eligibility criteria set forth in our offering documents for the relevant fund. To comply with Securities and Exchange Commission regulation, we require that U.S. investors in our funds qualify as both accredited investors and qualified clients, each as defined in the offering documents of the relevant fund. We reserve the right to reject any subscriptions. This brochure is not an offer to invest in our funds. 8. Method of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss A. Method of Analysis: We use a variety of sources for developing investment strategies and for recommending investments to be included in our clients’ portfolios. Our internal research team analyzes companies and is a principle source of investment ideas. In addition, we use charting, fundamental, cyclical, and technical research, industry contacts and conferences and services such as those provided by Bloomberg, Reuters, Factset and various brokerage firms to perform our analysis. Investment Strategy: Emerging Markets Fund: We invest in securities of small and mid‐capitalization issuers in countries generally considered to be relatively less developed or industrialized (“emerging/frontier markets”) or in issuers organized in more developed markets that derive a large portion of their revenues or earnings from emerging/frontier markets. The fund’s private placement memorandum describes the fund’s investment strategy in more detail. Lorikeet Funds: We focus on securities of small and mid‐capitalization companies in emerging/frontier markets. The offering documents of the relevant fund describe the fund’s investment strategy in more detail. Wei Ji Funds: We invest in emerging/frontier market securities generally trading at a discount to their “net current assets.” The offering documents of the relevant fund describe the fund’s investment strategy in more detail. Japan Chickadee Fund: We invest in Japanese securities generally trading at a discount to their intrinsic values. The fund’s private placement memorandum describes the fund’s investment strategy in more detail. Investing in any securities involves a risk of loss that our clients and the investors in our clients must be prepared to bear. B. Risk Factors: All investments involve a risk of loss and we cannot guarantee that any investor in our client funds will not lose some or all the value of their investment. The following is a description of the various strategies that we utilize in advising our clients and some important risks associated with each strategy. The following explanation of certain risks is not exhaustive, but rather highlights some of the more significant risks involved in our investment strategies. Hedging. We occasionally engage in hedging strategies designed to reduce the overall level of risk in our clients’ portfolios. For example, we may invest directly or indirectly in foreign currencies in an attempt to reduce the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations on the value of client holdings that are denominated in a foreign currency. There can be no assurances that a particular hedge will be effective. Consequently, these strategies may result in poorer overall performance and increased risk than if we did not employ hedging strategies at all. Off‐Balance Sheet Market Risk. We enter into financial instrument transactions on behalf of our clients that may have off‐balance‐sheet market risk. Off‐balance‐sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of the financial instrument, as reflected in the client’s statement of assets and liabilities. Market risk is substantially dependent upon the value of the underlying financial instruments and is affected by market forces such as volatility and changes in interest and foreign exchange rates. Short Sales. With respect to certain clients, we occasionally maintain equity securities on both a long and short basis on behalf of our clients. While long positions represent the client’s ownership of securities, short positions represent obligations of the client to deliver specified securities at a future time. By entering into short sales, the client bears the market risk of increases in value of the security sold short in excess of the proceeds received. As there is no limit with respect to how much the value of an equity security might increase, short sales entail a risk of loss that is unlimited and, therefore, may be substantially greater than the value of the proceeds received. To mitigate the risk of loss, we continuously mark to market and monitor long and short positions. Investment in securities and securities sold short are subject to margin requirements. Credit Risk. The clients are subject to credit risk arising from transactions with counterparties and prime brokers related to securities purchases and sales. Credit risk is the amount of loss that the client would incur if the counterparty fails to perform its obligations under the contractual terms. In the normal course of business, the clients enter into ISDA (International Swap Dealers Association) agreements with certain counterparties for over‐the‐counter derivative transactions. These agreements contain, among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations. ... |
