^ Performance fee will only be charged if the NAV at the end of the financial year exceeds the "high watermark", which is the all-time year-end high of the fund's NAV. If in any one year, the fund suffers a loss, no performance fee can be charged in subsequent years until the loss is recovered fully (the high-on-high principle).
