In respect of Class I Shares, the Investment Managers receive from the Company a monthly investment<br />

management fee equivalent to a certain percentage per annum of each Fund’s adjusted daily net assets<br />

during the year, as described in Appendix F.<br />

The Investment Managers may, from time to time, pay a part of their investment management fee to<br />

various sub- distributors, intermediaries, dealers and/or professional investors. Such payments are intended<br />

to compensate such sub- distributors, dealers or other intermediaries for providing distribution or other<br />

services to the Shareholders, including but not limited to the enhancement of the communication of<br />

ongoing information to Shareholders, the transaction processing or other shareholder and/or administrative<br />

services. Any request for additional information regarding any such payments should be addressed by the<br />

Shareholders to their relevant intermediaries.<br />

Consistent with obtaining best execution, brokerage commissions on portfolio transactions for the Company<br />

by them as well as for services rendered in the execution of orders by such broker- dealers. The receipt of<br />

investment research and information and related services permits the Investment Managers to supplement<br />

their own research and analysis and makes available to them the views and information of individuals<br />

and research staffs of other firms. Such services do not include travel, accommodation, entertainment,<br />

general administrative goods or services, general office equipment or premises, membership fees,<br />

employee salaries or direct money payment, which are paid by the Investment Managers.<br />

The Investment Managers may enter with broker- dealers that are entities and not individuals into soft<br />

commission arrangements only where there is a direct and identifiable benefit to the clients of the Investment<br />

Managers, including the Company, and where the Investment Managers are satisfied that the transactions<br />

generating the soft commissions are made in good faith, in strict compliance with applicable regulatory<br />

requirements and in the best interest of the Company. Any such arrangement must be made by the<br />

Investment Manager on terms commensurate with best market practice. The use of soft commissions<br />

shall be disclosed in the periodic reports.<br />

In certain Company related documents and/or electronic media, the relevant aforementioned investment<br />

management fee plus maintenance charges, servicing charges and/or distribution charges where applicable<br />

to a Share Class (as described in the following section) may be combined and expressed as an “annual<br />
