Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/28/2017)
[Brochure]
Item 5 Fees and Compensation
A. The management fees charged to the Client Pooled Funds range from an annual rate
of 1.0% to 1.5% of net assets at the end of each month. If a Client Pooled Fund
invests in another entity for which Optima or an affiliate serves as the general
partner or investment manager, then either that portion of the entity’s assets
represented by such an investment are excluded from the calculation of net assets for
the purposes of calculating the management fees, or the fees received by the affiliate
are refunded to the Client Pooled Fund in full.
Certain of the Client Pooled Funds charge investors in these Client Pooled Funds a
performance fee of 10% of the profits earned by such investors, subject to a high
watermark and loss carryforward.
Fees charged to Client Pooled Funds are set forth in the offering memorandums for
the respective Client Pooled Funds and are not negotiable. Fees may vary according
to the share class of the Client Pooled Fund.
There is one Client Managed Account that is non-discretionary, which is charged
fees according to the level of services agreed to between the client and Optima.
B. Any fees earned by Optima are charged directly against the assets in a Client Pooled
Fund’s account or Client Managed Account held by the independent custodian of the
Client Pooled Fund or Client Managed Account. Where Client Pooled Funds use
independent administrators and in the case of Client Managed Accounts, Optima
reviews the calculation of the fee prepared by the administrator, but it is the
administrator who instructs the custodian to make payment of the fee to Optima.
Upon an investor’s withdrawal of its investment from a Client Pooled Fund, any fees
owed to Optima are prorated to the date of withdrawal. Upon the termination of an
advisory agreement with a Client Managed Account, any fees owed to Optima are
prorated to the date of termination.
C. Where Client Pooled Funds are allocated to other investment managers and/or
commingled investment vehicles pursuant to Optima’s recommendations, the Client
Pooled Fund is charged an additional fee by that investment manager and/or
investment vehicle, as the case may be. Fees charged by such investment managers
and/or investment vehicles may range from a 0% to 3% management fee and a 0% to
30% performance fee.
Investors in Client Pooled Funds also bear third party fees charged by the Client
Pooled Fund’s auditors and any administrator’s fees as set forth in the Client Pooled
Fund’s offering memorandums. Client Managed Accounts bear additional third
party fees charged by such account’s auditor, administrator and custodian.
D. Optima does not charge any fees in advance to Client Pooled Funds or Client
Managed Accounts.
E. No employee of Optima receives compensation for selling securities or other
investment products.
