Common use of Board Fee Clause in Contracts

Board Fee. The Board collects a fee based on the assets in each Designated Portfolio (“Board Fee”) to pay for expenses related to oversight and administration of the Trust. If assets in the Plan are $5 billion or less, each Designated Portfolio will bear an annualized fee of 0.01% based on the assets in such Designated Portfolio that is used to pay the Board Fee. However, if assets in the Plan are less than $1 billion, the Board Fee will be an annual fixed fee equal to $100,000, and Wealthfront (not you as the Account Owner through your investment in a Designated Portfolio) will directly pay the portion of the Board Fee equal to the difference between the 0.01% annualized fee for all Designated Portfolios and the annual fixed fee of $100,000. If assets in the Plan are greater than $5 billion, the annualized fee borne by each Designated Portfolio will be reduced below 0.01% based on the assets in such Designated Portfolio such that the entire amount of the fees for all Designated Portfolios equals a fixed annual fee of $500,000, which is paid to the Board as the Board Fee.
