ITEM 5 -- Fees and Compensation
Polar Capital charges each Polar Fund, in the aggregate, a management fee (ranging
between 0.375 and 1.5 percent annually) and a performance fee (see Item 6), as
specifically described in each Polar Fund’s prospectus. An initial fee of up to 5 percent
of the subscribed amount may be payable by subscribers of New Participating Shares
in a Polar Fund. The initial fee will be payable to the extent that the fees and expenses
of intermediaries need to be met, if not waived by the directors of the applicable fund.
In addition redemption fees may be charged under certain circumstances, including
transfers from one class of a fund’s shares to another class.
The fees applicable to each Managed Account are set forth in detail in each Managed
Account's investment management agreement.
All fees for Managed Accounts are subject to negotiation and established pursuant to
each Managed Account's investment management agreement. Generally, the
investment management agreements are terminable upon receipt by either party from
the other of prior written notice of termination and after the expiration of the specified
notice period and the client will be entitled to any unearned prepaid portion of the
Management Fee to the extent applicable.
Fees are deducted from the assets of the relevant Polar Fund and typically computed on

administration, audit and other costs and expenses, as described in each Polar Fund’s
prospectus.
Employees of Polar Capital and its affiliates may invest in Polar Funds, and in the case
of portfolio managers and analysts, are encouraged to invest in the funds they manage.
