Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Overview
This section of the Firm Brochure contains information regarding how we are compensated for our
advisory services. We manage assets for clients in pooled investment vehicles or separately managed
accounts.
Management fees
O'Connor does not have a standard fee schedule. Fees and expenses are described in detail within each
Client account's respective Governing Documents. However, in providing investment advisory services,
O’Connor commonly receives a management fee from a Client in an amount equal to a percentage of
the net assets managed by O’Connor as determined at the end of a month or quarter, respectively.
Fees may be calculated based on the aggregated market value of all assets under management and may
include allocations to cash. In the event of termination during a monthly or quarterly period, prorated
adjustments in management fees are made, as appropriate.
O’Connor may receive a performance-based fee, based on a percentage of profits earned within the
applicable determination period, and in addition to its management fee. Typically, management fees
and performance-based fees payable to O’Connor are separate, distinct, and in addition to other
expenses that may be charged to Clients and disclosed in their applicable Governing Documents. Please
see Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Compensation below for details of such fees.
Other fees
Unless otherwise negotiated, Clients will pay transaction-related costs including, without limitation;
brokerage commissions and/or spreads; exchange, regulatory and user fees; interest on margin
accounts and other indebtedness; independent asset verification performance by a third party;
borrowing charges on securities sold short; custodial fees; bank service fees; withholding and transfer
fees; fees and expenses relating to investments in ETFs; expenses related to currency exchanges
and currency hedging; professional fees (including, without limitation, expenses of consultants and
experts) relating to portfolio instruments; legal fees; travel expenses; expenses incurred in connection
with trade execution, clearance, settlement, confirmation and/or reconciliation; research expenses paid
through "Research Payment Accounts" (RPAs); research expenses paid through soft dollar
arrangements; fees and expenses related to prime brokerage, transaction counterparties and/or other
service providers; investment-related expenses, regardless of whether or not investments are
consummated; expenses related to obtaining any licenses or permits relating to investment for the
Client, expenses related to logistical services, market data, and information technology, hardware,
applications and software that will not be obtained through the use of soft dollars and other expenses
related to the purchase, sale or transmittal of securities and other instruments.
In addition, Clients will likely assume the cost for other expenses. Such expenses unrelated to
investments include, but are not limited to: fees for data and software providers; research expenses not
paid through RPAs or soft dollar arrangements; technology expenses related to research and
development, legal, accounting, audit and tax preparation and tax structuring expenses; entity-level
taxes; governmental fees; regulatory expenses and fees (including, but not limited to, expenses incurred
in connection with complying with regulatory reporting obligations, as well as out-of-pocket costs of
preparing regulatory filings related to the Client or O’Connor as it relates to the Client); expenses related
to the maintenance of a fund's registered office; expenses related to the establishment and operation of
fund subsidiaries; expenses related to obtaining any licenses or permits; corporate licensing fees; the
Management Board's and Officer's liability insurance premiums or fees and expenses (including travel);
corporate secretarial services expenses; Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Officer expenses; expenses
incurred in connection with the offer and sale of shares of a fund (including any expenses and fees
associated with the creation of additional classes and series of shares such as fees and expenses
associated with the preparation or amendment of Governing Documents and amendments or
supplements to offering documents and any costs of printing, preparing and distributing explanatory

memoranda); administration fees; Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
("ERISA") bonding costs (if applicable); and expenses incurred in providing information to shareholders
(including any fees associated with translation of fund documents and reports). In addition to these
items, expenses of O’Connor, including, without limitation: personnel costs relating to finance, control,
operational, legal, compliance, risk management, technology (research and development), trading and
investment; and premises, recruitment and disaster recovery costs also fall within items in this category.
Some Clients may have the amount of certain expenses capped at a maximum amount, generally
determined by a percentage of assets under management for the Client(s).
To the extent utilized, sub-advisers do not receive any compensation directly from a Client for the
investment services/advice they provide unless permitted by a Client’s Governing Documents. O’Connor,
not Clients, compensates the affiliated sub-advisers for their advice rendered. O’Connor may also invest
in commingled funds which, if managed by unaffiliated managers, may charge management and/or
performance fees and other expenses which can be passed on to Clients subject to their applicable
Governing Documents.
Fee negotiation
Management fees and performance-based fees may be reduced, waived or calculated differently for
different Clients of O’Connor.

Item 7 - Types of Clients
Overview
In this section of the Firm Brochure, we provide information about the types of Clients to whom we
provide investment advice. We also discuss the conditions we may impose on the management of
Client accounts.
General introduction
O'Connor primarily provides investment advisory services to various types of pooled investment vehicles
and institutional SMAs. Clients are required to enter into an investment advisory or investment
management agreement prior to the establishment of an advisory relationship.
ERISA Clients
O’Connor may provide discretionary investment management services to Clients that are employee
benefit plans covered by applicable regulations and opinions of ERISA. In such instances for ERISA plan
Clients, O’Connor is typically a “covered service provider” to the plan for purposes of ERISA Section
408(b)(2). We provide services to ERISA plans both as a registered investment adviser under the
Advisers Act and as a fiduciary under Section 3(21) of ERISA.
In providing such services, we may rely on Prohibited Transaction Exemption 84-14 (the "QPAM
exemption"). To the extent that O'Connor relies on the QPAM exemption, we must also comply with an
individual Prohibited Transaction Exemption (PTE 2020-01) issued by the Department of Labor ("DOL"),
requiring O'Connor to maintain, implement and follow written policies and procedures. ERISA plan
Clients have a right to obtain a copy of the written policies and procedures developed in connection
with PTE 2020-01.
Conditions for managing accounts
O'Connor generally requires minimum account investments, although this may be waived under certain
circumstances.
For certain types of investment strategies or pooled vehicles offered or managed by O'Connor, U.S.
Clients (and U.S. investors in certain of those pooled vehicles) must generally satisfy certain investor
sophistication requirements, including that the Client is an "accredited investor” as defined in Rule
501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); a "qualified
purchaser" within the meaning of section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act; a "qualified
institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act; and/or a "qualified eligible
person" as defined in Rule 4.7 of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Legal proceedings—class actions and other matters
For SMAs, O’Connor will not advise or act for the Client in legal proceedings, including class actions,
bankruptcies or other similar legal matters with respect to securities held or that were held in a Client
account. O’Connor encourages Clients to contact their custodians to ensure they are receiving the
proper notification of any such legal proceedings. Further, we encourage Clients to seek the advice of
counsel regarding the participation and filing requirements associated with such matters. O’Connor
will not be responsible for any failure to meet the filing or other requirements of legal proceedings
with respect to securities held or that were held in a Client account.
Tax matters
O’Connor will not advise or act for the Client on tax matters. We encourage Clients to seek
independent professional tax advice on any taxation matters. O’Connor will not be responsible for any
failure to meet the filing or other requirements of tax proceedings with respect to securities held or
