Fees: In addition to the Pathfinder Asset Management Limited money management fee, each custodian charges fees for holding client assets. This can range from a monthly custody fee charged to your account to a combination of a monthly custody fee and/or an allocation fee for each trade (much like a discount brokerage fee). In addition, each Pathfinder Fund has an expense ratio which includes fees required to operate the fund – for example, fund administration fees, audit fees and trustee fees. Depending on the size of the fund, these fees will vary as a percentage of assets; therefore, Pathfinder caps the maximum annual administration fee at 0.5% of assets.

Broker selection. Pathfinder Asset Management Limited (Pathfinder) may transact business on your behalf through such brokers, dealers, agents, delegates and nominees as Pathfinder may select.  When placing orders with brokers and dealers, Pathfinder will seek to obtain the best price and terms for the Portfolio in accordance with Pathfinder’s policy on broker selection (best execution) attached hereto as Schedule A and applicable laws.  In the event that you direct Pathfinder to use a particular broker or dealer to effect transactions for the Portfolio, you acknowledge that commission rates may not necessarily be as favourable as Pathfinder may have otherwise been able to obtain from a broker or dealer selected by Pathfinder.  Pathfinder may in the course of providing services under this agreement enter arrangements with brokers or other third parties involving the use of brokerage commissions generated by client accounts (or “soft dollars”). These arrangements will only be entered in accordance with Pathfinder’s policies regarding the use of the brokerage commissions paid by clients as described in Schedule A.  Pathfinder will, in seeking best execution and entering arrangements involving the use of brokerage commissions, comply with all applicable laws, including National Instrument 23-101 (Trading Rules) and National Instrument 23-102 (Use of Client Brokerage Commissions). Pathfinder may amend its policies with respect to best execution and arrangements involving the use of brokerage commissions without notice to you but will provide a copy of its policies to you on request.

Schedule A

Broker Selection (Best Execution) Policy

Pathfinder has an obligation to our clients to obtain the best price and terms for trades made on behalf of accounts managed by us.  The goal of this policy is to document the procedures we intend to follow to comply with this obligation.

We select brokers to execute trades on behalf of the accounts we manage based our assessment of the following factors:

1. The quality of execution services provided by the broker, including whether our orders are filled in accordance with our instructions and the speed with which the orders are filled.
2. The commissions charged by the broker.
3. The ability of the broker to execute a trade.
4. The ability of the broker to complete a trade at our price.
5. The ability of the broker to provide confirmations on a timely basis.
6. The quality of the research provided by the broker.

We will take into consideration these factors in determining which brokers to deal with.  We will review annually the brokers we use in light of the factors listed above.  We do not use brokers that are affiliated with us.

Use of client brokerage commissions – We may direct brokerage transactions for clients to brokers in return for the research and brokerage services provided by the brokers, and in certain circumstances may, in recognition of the value of these services, pay broker commissions to these brokers in excess of the commissions which another broker might have charged for effecting the same transactions.  We will determine in good faith that the value of any services received is reasonable in relation to the commission paid, either in terms of the particular transaction or our overall responsibilities to clients.  If we use a particular broker (whether the broker was selected by us or by a client that has directed us to use that broker) to execute securities transactions for a client account that also provides research to us, the research received by us in this manner will from time to time be used in servicing any or all of our clients’ accounts, including client accounts that did not generate the credits used to obtain the research.

Research provided by brokers may include information on the economy, industries, groups of securities, individual companies, statistical information, accounting and tax law interpretations, political  developments, legal developments affecting portfolio securities, technical market action, pricing and appraisal services, credit analysis, risk measurement analysis, performance analysis, and measurement and analysis of corporate responsibility issues. These research services are typically received in the form of written reports, telephone contacts and personal meetings with security analysts. Research services may also be provided in the form of access to various computers software and associated hardware, and meetings arranged with corporate and industry representatives.

We will, in seeking best execution and entering arrangements involving the use of brokerage commissions, comply with all applicable laws, including National Instrument 23-101 (Trading Rules) and National Instrument 23-102 (Use of Client Brokerage Commissions).

Upon request, we will provide clients with the names of any brokers or other third parties that have provided us with good or services, other than order execution services, in return for client brokerage transactions.
