Management contractManagement, UK custodial, accounting, administrative and company secretarial services are provided to the Fund by Henderson Investors Plc and BNP Paribas Fund Services UK Ltd under a Management Agreement reviewed annually and has a 6 months notice period. The base management fee is calculated at the rate of 0.30% on the first GBP400 million of assets under management and 0.25% on assets under management in excess of GBP400 million. Such fees are payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, a performance fee is payable annually equivalent to 0.1% for every 1% outperformance against its benchmark subject to a cap of 0.5% of the average assets under management during the year (including the base management fee). With effect from 1 July 2005, an adjustment to the performance fee was introduced. if sufficient performance has been achieved, the cap of 0.5% will be applied. In the event of a significant movement in the share price, the performance fee will be decreased or increased in line with a sliding scale. Should the Company's share price decrease over the year in question by between 10.00% and 14.99%, the performance 15.00% and 19.99% in the share price would result in a reduction of 15% of the performance fee; and a decline of 20% in the performance fee. This arrangement is symmetrical and, should the share price increase over the period, the same thresholds and increases to the performance fee would apply. This could mean that the total fee paid may exceed the 0.5% cap by up to 20% of the performance fee.
Borrowing limitn/a
Continuation / Wind-up provisionThe Fund has an unlimited life. It has been authorised to allot shares and to repurchase up to 14.99% of its own issued share capital (either for cancellation or to be held in treasury) and the Company's preference stock; and this authority will be renewed again at the next AGM.
