| Re: | Seafarer Overseas Growth and Income Fund and Seafarer Overseas Value Fund (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), a Series of the Financial Investors Trust (the “Trust”) |
Dear ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇:
This letter confirms the agreement of Seafarer Capital Partners, LLC (the “Adviser”) with the Trust to contractually limit the total amount of the “Management Fees” and “Other Expenses” that it is entitled to receive from the Funds.
To the extent the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-1A) of a Fund (inclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, and exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses), exceed 1.15% for Investor Class shares and 1.05% for Institutional Class shares, respectively, of the average daily net assets, the Adviser shall reimburse such Fund (or class as applicable) by the amount of such excess, subject to recapture as described below. Such reimbursement may include waiving all or a portion of the Adviser’s Management Fee. The reimbursement shall be allocated to each class of the Fund in the same manner as the underlying expenses or fees were allocated.
The Adviser further agrees that such reimbursements for the Fund are effective as September 1, 2020 and shall continue at least through August 31, 2021.
The Adviser will be permitted to recapture, on a class-by-class basis, expenses it has reimbursed through this letter agreement to the extent that a Fund’s expenses in later periods fall below the annual rates set forth in this letter agreement; provided, however, that such recapture payments do not cause the Fund’s expense ratio (after recapture) to exceed the lesser of (i) the expense cap in effect at the time of the waiver and (ii) the expense cap in effect at the time of the recapture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund will not be obligated to pay any such fees and expenses more than three years after the date on which the fees or expenses were deferred. In addition, if the Adviser ceases to serve as investment adviser to a Fund as a consequence of (i) a fund reorganization in which the Fund is not the surviving entity or (ii) the hiring of a new investment adviser who is not an affiliate of the Adviser, the Fund will cease to be obligated to pay to Adviser any such outstanding reimbursable fees and expenses, effective upon the effective date of such event.
