Liquidity Fees and Gates Clause Samples
The 'Liquidity Fees and Gates' clause establishes mechanisms to manage investor withdrawals from a fund or investment vehicle. Typically, this clause allows the fund to impose fees on withdrawals or to temporarily restrict (gate) the amount of capital that can be redeemed during periods of high demand or market stress. For example, if too many investors request redemptions at once, the fund may limit withdrawals to a certain percentage of total assets or charge a fee to discourage mass exits. The core function of this clause is to protect the fund’s stability and remaining investors by preventing sudden liquidity crises and ensuring orderly management of redemptions.
Liquidity Fees and Gates a) Client (and not BBH) will be responsible for reviewing any disclosure on a MMF website providing notice to shareholders and prospective shareholders of liquidity of the MMF and when liquidity fees or redemption gates are imposed or lifted and Client agrees that BBH is not responsible for notifying the Client of the imposition by an MMF of any such event or re-confirming the Client’s intent to transact in a MMF when a liquidity fee or redemption gate is in effect.
b) If a liquidity fee is implemented by a MMF, BBH will not be directly responsible for calculating or withholding the liquidity fee, but will apply any liquidity fee calculated and withheld by the MMF from any order as notified by the MMF or Distributor to BBH.
c) If a redemption gate is implemented by a MMF, Client acknowledges and agrees that any redemption or exchange orders in the MMF made by Client while the redemption gate is in effect may be rejected by the MMF, and that BBH is responsible for rejecting only those orders that BBH has been notified have been rejected by the MMF or its agents. Client shall endeavor not to instruct BBH to place an order for a redemption in a MMF when a redemption gate is in effect for such MMF.
