Item 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION
Fee Schedules
Client fees for separately managed accounts are generally computed based on a percentage of the market value, book value or principal
amount of assets under management in a client’s account, as applicable and agreed. PPM may bill fees based on its own books and
records, the client’s books and records, or the records of the client’s custodian. PPM values assets from independent pricing sources or,
in the event that such independent valuations are unavailable, internally derives valuations based upon relevant security attributes and
current market conditions, in accordance with its internal policies and procedures. PPM typically uses an average of assets under
management for the billing period as the basis for fee calculation and pro-rates fees for partial billing periods, though PPM may use a
different basis, as specifically agreed with certain clients. Pro rata adjustments in advisory fees may be made for material contributions
and withdrawals made during the billing period. Fees for separately managed accounts may be subject to a minimum fee charge per
annum and a minimum account size. Clients are responsible for verifying the accuracy of fee calculations.
PPM also charges certain clients a performance fee. Additional information on performance-based fees is included in the section of this
brochure entitled “Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management.”
PPM’s standard fee schedule for separately managed accounts, which may be modified from time to time and is subject to negotiation,
is as follows:
Public Fixed Income
Strategy Annual Fee (%) Minimum Account Minimum Fee
Size
Bank Loan
First $100 million 0.50%
Next $150 million 0.45% $50 million $250,000
Thereafter 0.40%
Core Fixed Income
First $100 million 0.225%
Next $150 million 0.20% $50 million $112,500
Thereafter 0.175%
Core Plus Fixed Income
First $100 million 0.30%
Next $150 million 0.25% $50 million $150,000
Thereafter 0.20%
AUM figures are rounded to the nearest $100,000. AUM includes committed but unfunded capital for PPM's private equity and commercial real estate businesses. Form ADV
Part 1 includes disclosure of Regulatory Assets Under Management (“Regulatory AUM”) which differs from the traditional calculation. For example, Regulatory AUM includes
uncalled commitments for private accounts outside the investment period that would normally be excluded from PPM’s assets under management disclosure. As of December
31, 2025, PPM’s Regulatory AUM was $93,793,600,000.
