| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/31/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
FEES AND COMPENSATION Penso Advisors uses different fee structures depending on the nature of the relationship with the Client, the term of the relationship and the size and nature of the assets of the portfolio for which advice is provided. Such fees typically include a management fee which is either a fixed fee or a fee based on a percentage of assets under management, and/or an incentive or performance fee based on appreciation of net asset value (often subject to a high watermark). Fee schedules are not disclosed because Penso Advisors does not utilize standardized fee terms as fees are determined on a client-by-client basis. Moreover, fee schedules are not necessary to be disclosed as all investors are qualified purchasers. With respect to Managed Accounts, the fee structure is contained in such Client’s respective investment advisory agreement or consulting agreement, as applicable. Penso Advisors invoices its Clients for fixed fees on a periodic basis as agreed (i.e., monthly or quarterly) and generally invoices for performance-based fees on a quarter-end or year-end basis. With respect to investors in any Penso Private Fund, the fee structure is contained in the PPM (or other offering document) for the Private Fund, and specifically, with respect to any Cell of an SPC, if applicable, in each fund’s Explanatory Memorandum (or other supplement) to the PPM and its Investment Management Agreement (or similar trading management agreement) with Penso Advisors. In addition, Clients on a third-party, service provider platform, including the Penso Private Funds, may be charged a separate fee by such respective service provider, none of which is paid to Penso Advisors. The Penso Private Funds’ administrator calculates the management fee and once approved by Penso Advisors, instructs the management fee to be sent to Penso. Penso Private Funds’ administrator also calculates the performance-based compensation. Once Penso Advisors approves the administrator’s performance-based compensation calculation, the administrator allocates the performance compensation to an account of Penso Advisors or its affiliate. Penso may choose to engage different administrators for one or more of the Penso Private Funds and/or for any underlying separate Cells. Should Penso utilize multiple administrators, each such administrator will utilize its own models for calculations and methodologies to value assets which may affect performance differentials, assets under management, and fees related thereto in comparison with the other acting administrators. Each administrator will be selected by Penso based upon a number of considerations and will be subject to approval by the Private Fund or applicable Cell, as required. In general, investors investing in any Penso Private Fund will pay any or all of (i) directors’ fees, (ii) management fees, generally calculated as a percentage of the net asset value of the shares, which may be subject to a floor minimum, (iii) performance (or incentive) fees, generally calculated as a percentage of net appreciation of the shares with a high watermark, (iv) a platform manager fee, generally calculated as an annual fee equal to a percentage per annum of the net asset value of the class of shares for such fund, and (v) an administration fee calculated monthly in advance and payable to the administrator, in addition to reimbursement of out of pocket expenses incurred by or on behalf of the fund. Unless otherwise agreed, each fund, directly or indirectly, also will pay out of its assets all of its ordinary and extraordinary expenses which, depending on the nature of the fund as well as the specific services to be provided by the platform manager, may include, but are not limited to, (i) organizational expenses, (ii) legal, accounting, auditing, tax, market data, valuation, insurance (including directors and officers liability insurance), printing, computer, postage and similar fees and expenses, (iii) fees and expenses of a fund’s administrator, the custodian(s), any sub- administrator(s), sub-custodian(s), independent directors, general partners, managing members and other service providers, (iv) trade processing and reconciliation fees and expenses, collateral management fees and expenses and any other middle-office expenses, (v) agreed or disclosed out- of-pocket expenses incurred by the platform manager, the administrator and other service providers attributable to the services provided to the funds, including, without limitation, insurance costs and certain out-of-pocket expenses related to regulatory compliance (for example, expenses associated with the preparation of regulatory filings and reviews related to or in connection with the offering of the funds), (vi) fees and expenses incurred with respect to the periodic review and, if appropriate, modification of offering and governing documents, (vii) interest, commitment and other fees in connection with borrowings, (viii) transaction-related expenses, including brokerage fees and custody charges, (ix) research and due diligence related expenses, including related consulting fees, travel, background investigations on investment managers or proposed investment managers, subscriptions, databases, legal fees, fees for data processing, data aggregation and risk reporting, (x) extraordinary expenses (e.g., litigation costs, liquidation-related expenses (including any fees charged by a liquidation agent) and indemnification obligations) that a fund may incur, and (xi) any other expenses related to the fund’s ongoing operations. With respect to the Penso Private Funds, in accordance with the Private Fund’s PPM, expenses incurred in connection with such Fund’s operations would include any specific expenses incurred in obtaining systems, research, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and other information utilized for portfolio management purposes that facilitate data analysis valuations and accounting, ... |

TYPES OF CLIENTS Penso Advisors generally provides its investment consulting or advisory services to sophisticated asset managers such as hedge funds, funds of hedge funds, global insurance companies, private and state pension plans, endowments, foundations, family offices and other large institutional investors. Penso Advisors provides its services to its Clients or their underlying investors through either Managed Accounts or a Penso Private Fund, predominantly through fund-of-one, fund-of- few or Commingled Cells, as determined by the underlying investors. The investment structures may be implemented either through the Clients’ own proprietary infrastructure or a third-party service provider infrastructure platform (including, where applicable, a Cell within a segregated portfolio company). In accordance with its model of bespoke mandates, Penso Advisors generally limits its client base to sophisticated money managers and institutional investors typically with at least $1 billion in assets under management or such other threshold as long as there is a logistical framework in place that allows for the implementation of risk overlays in managed account or private fund (fund-of- one or fund-of-few) structures. In any Commingled Cell, there is generally a lower minimum investment requirement than required for the establishment of a fund-of-one Cell, such amount is determined in Penso’s discretion.
