1. The entry fee is a third party fee and is paid in full to the financial agent who mediated the conclusion of the Portfolio Management Agreement. WEM is entitled to charge the fee.
2. The management fee is charged monthly, as a percentage of the average value of the client portfolio for the given month. The fee does not include third party fees (e.g. stock exchange fees, bank fees, etc.).
3. High-water mark is a principle of charging fees based on their highest cumulative past peak value. In this case, a fee will only be charged if the portfolio reaches a higher value of its cumulative returns or only from the part that exceeds the previous highest cumulative value of returns. Applied here is the sliding high-water mark for the past 2 periods (2 years).
