Affiliated Funds. Whenever a consulting client invests in the Affiliated Funds, or other
discretionary investment strategies, it will pay a management fee to Consequent Capital
Investments, LLC (as discussed below) based on the fair market value of assets invested
within the funds or other strategies.
Manager of Managers Services
Manager of Managers Services are offered to provide institutional clients on a discretionary basis
with services that include, but are not limited to, setting investment objectives, money
management, asset allocation, and performance evaluation. Under this program, the Firm manages
each client’s portfolio pursuant to specific investment objectives and limitations as set forth in its
advisory agreement.
Using an extensive due diligence process, Consequent selects third party managers based on
quantitative and qualitative factors that consider a fundamental evaluation of each manager’s
investment philosophy, processes, team, ownership and track record.
Selected third-party managers are then contracted by the Firm and compensated based on the fair
market value of the respective pool of client assets under management. The Firm has discretion to
manage client assets directly pursuant to an investment management agreement. Consequent may
also direct client investments to other investment strategies that it manages and receive additional
management fee compensation based on the fair market value of each client’s respective assets
invested in other Firm strategies and the Manager of Managers Services on a discretionary basis.
The Firm will prepare reports for each client regarding performance of its investment portfolio.

exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), or other investment managers. A client may choose to exercise
discretion over any portion of its assets, which for practical and reporting purposes may be
segregated from the portfolio.

pertinent investment objectives. A client should promptly notify the Firm if there are changes to
its financial position or investment status. On a discretionary basis, Consequent may direct client
investments to other investment strategies that it or its related entities manage, including the
