Would you be so kind as to forward this along to Jeffrey.
After speaking with Darren last evening, he suggested that we outline the key Ts&Cs so he can
draft an IMA and wrap up the commercial terms we haven't discussed yet. In order to move the
process as quickly as possible we propose the following terms
1. Amount & Structure:
a) 10MM, Managed Account (SMA), Investment Manager is Atorus, LLC (a RIA)
2. Compensation:
a) 2% fee annualized / paid monthly on NAV at start of month
b) 20% above high water mark paid monthly at month end; high water mark reset
monthly - (we believe annual mis-aligns incentives, especially as our results are not skewed
over short term by any one single position or issues with marking the book)
3. Expenses:
a) Reasonable direct fund expenses covered by SMA against NAV I high water
mark — i.e. Data access, audit, and legal related to SMA etc.
4. Lock Up:
a) 30-days notice unless in case of violation of risk parameters
5. Rick Parameters:
a) No more than 10% from original capital, as already agreed
b) No more than 20% draw down from a peak (never more than 10% from
original capital) — this will allow us to leverage into winning trades and optimize
potential return (high Sortino Ratio overall)
6. Trading:
a) We trade G20 local market listed equities, Futures (equity index,
commodities, and rates), FX (directional risk and to hedge FX on non USD

denominated securities), Options listed and OTC (to hedge single stock
event risk), OTC credit products i.e. G20 Rates, IBOXXHY and Citi WGBI
(may require ISDA).
b) Prefer to transact via Bloomberg FIX connection
c) Darren indicated existing relationships with Deutsche Bank and Ameritrade. I
spoke to Ameritrade Instiutiional today and they don't have connectivity to Euro
and Asian G20 markets. As such DB would likely be ideal given the securities we
intend to trade, but want to be sure we can execute trades away so as to
minimize transaction costs (we don't need to pay to interact with sell-side research
analysts) and perhaps earn rebates (paid into the SMA) given our trading style
(VWAP based and hence a liquidity provider" can receive a rebate/credit paid to
SMA)
Happy to discuss anytime any of these points and explain our thinking behind them and come
to a quick agreement.
Best Regards,
Michael J. Fowler
