ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION
Item 5.A Describe how you are compensated for your advisory services. Provide your fee
schedule. Disclose whether the fees are negotiable.
Winston typically charges fees that are based upon a set percentage of assets
under management and may receive performance-based compensation. Set forth
below are summaries of the fees payable by investors in the Advisory Clients. It
should be noted that detailed disclosure about the fees and other expenses
applicable to the Advisory Clients is either provided in: (i) the operative
documents for the applicable Winston Fund/Customized Fund; or (ii) the
advisory agreement with Axcelus.
Winston charges an asset-based Management Fee that ranges from 0.5%-1% per
annum of the amount an investor invested in a particular Winston Fund, with the
exception of the Asia Fund and Asia Fund Offshore which are both undergoing
liquidation. With the exception of the Hedged Equity Fund, the Management Fee
of each of the Winston Funds is determined as of the first business day of each
calendar quarter and is payable quarterly in advance. The Management Fee of
the Hedged Equity Fund is determined as of the last business day of each calendar
quarter and is payable within ten days of such date. The Management Fee is
prorated for amounts held for less than a full calendar quarter.
Winston may also be entitled to receive a performance-based fee that ranges from
3%-5% of net profits per annum, subject to a loss carry forward provision. Such
performance fee is payable at the end of each fiscal year. In the event an investor
withdraws/redeems prior to the end of the fiscal year, the performance fee will be
charged at the time of the withdrawal/redemption and will be calculated based on
the period from the beginning of the current fiscal year through the date of
withdrawal/redemption. Investors in the Global Fund who invested prior to
January 1, 2002, are not subject to a performance-based fee.
Winston reserves the right to enter into side letters or other arrangements whereby
certain large or strategic investors and other Advisory Clients may receive lower
Management Fees/performance fees in the future. In addition, investments in the
Winston Funds made by the Customized Funds, Winston, its employees or related
persons are not subject to the Management Fee or performance based fee
described above.
The Customized Funds are each subject to different terms and fees as such fee
arrangements and terms are individually negotiated between Winston and the
respective Customized Fund.
With respect to each of the Axcelus Accounts, Winston shall receive a fixed
management fee, payable quarterly in arrears, ranging from 0.10% to 1% per
annum. The fixed management fee varies depending on the investment vehicle
to which Winston has directed assets in the Axcelus Accounts.
It is critical that investors refer to their respective Advisory Client’s
governing documents for a complete understanding of how Winston is
compensated for its advisory services. The information contained herein is
a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the relevant governing
documents.
Item 5.B Describe whether you deduct fees from clients’ assets or bill clients for fees
incurred. If clients may select either method, disclose this fact. Explain how often
you bill clients or deduct your fees.
Winston deducts fees from each of the Winston Fund’s and the Customized
Fund’s assets, with the exception of the Asia Fund and Asia Fund Offshore which
are both undergoing liquidation. Investors in the Winston Funds and the
Customized Funds do not have the ability to choose to be billed directly for fees
incurred.
Please see the response to Item 5.A above for a summary of how often Winston’s
fees are deducted.
In the case of the Axcelus Accounts, Winston generally bills the Axcelus
Accounts for fees incurred. The Axcelus Accounts have the ability to choose to
be billed directly for fees incurred. The Axcelus Account is billed quarterly in
arrears.
It is critical that investors refer to their respective Advisory Client’s
governing documents for a complete understanding of how Winston is
compensated for its advisory services. The information contained herein is
a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the relevant governing
documents.
Item 5.C Describe any other types of fees or expenses clients may pay in connection with
your advisory services, such as custodian fees or mutual fund expenses. Disclose
that clients will incur brokerage and other transaction costs, and direct clients to
the section(s) of your brochure that discuss brokerage.
The offering documents of the Winston Funds set forth the fees and expenses to
be paid. Prospective investors should carefully review the respective Winston
Fund governing documents prior to investing.
Each of the Winston Funds bears its own ongoing expenses, including, without
limitation, all fees and compensation paid to underlying Managers or Portfolio
Funds; expenses related to existing and potential investments in underlying
Portfolio Funds; research-related data services and equipment; audit, accounting

ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS Describe the types of clients to whom you generally provide investment advice, such as individuals, trusts, investment companies, or pension plans. If you have any requirements for opening or maintaining an account, such as a minimum account size, disclose the requirements.

The minimum investment amounts are subject to waiver but in the case of the Global Fund Offshore, the Asia Fund Offshore and the Hedged Equity Fund, the minimum investment amount will not be reduced below $100,000. In addition, investors in the Global Fund Offshore, the Asia Fund Offshore and the Hedged Equity Fund must maintain an investment of at least $250,000, or such lesser amount as the Global Fund Offshore, the Asia Fund Offshore and the Hedged Equity Fund, acting through their Directors, may determine.
