Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Second Alpha’s fees and compensation arrangements may vary among the Funds. The specific
terms of such arrangements are established by Second Alpha as set forth in each Fund’s
Governing Documents. The Firm generally charges a management fee to the Fund
(“Management Fee”) which ranges from 1.5% to 2% annually. The Firm may, at its discretion,
waive or reduce such fees for certain investors. Second Alpha also receives performance-
based incentive fees (“Carried Interest”) with respect to realized investments.
Second Alpha generally deducts the Management Fee from the Funds’ accounts in advance on
a semi-annual basis, as further disclosed in each Fund’s Governing Documents.
In addition to the fees described above, each Client is responsible for certain of its operating
and organizational expenses as disclosed in each Client’s Governing Documents. These
expenses include all organizational expenses and expenses associated with each Client offering,
including legal, filing, marketing and accounting fees, which generally include, without limitation,
the following as fully disclosed in the Governing Documents:
i. Expenses incurred in connection with the evaluation, acquisition or disposition of
investments (whether or not consummated), including extraordinary expense as
well as private placement fees, sales commissions and discounts, and legal,

the Firm as directors on the portfolio company governing board or in other capacities.
