Item 5: Fees and Compensation
We have intentionally omitted the full section on compensation for advisory services, as we are an SEC registered
adviser and this brochure is being delivered only to “qualified purchasers” as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
We receive compensation directly and indirectly from our Clients.

infrastructure fees, from certain of our Clients. RCM Jersey pays certain compensation, including management,

compensation for the investment advisory services they provide to those Clients pursuant to the sub-advisory
arrangement between RCM LLP and each of RCM US, RCM SG, and RCM ME.
Other Clients
RCM US receives a management fee from certain of our Clients calculated with respect to their assets under
management and as agreed between RCM US and these Clients. RCCM receives management fees from its
Clients calculated with respect to their assets under management and/or the performance of the Client’s account,
