Vestoq Ltd. (“Manager”) agrees to manage investments for you as client (“Client”) on the following terms:

WHEREAS

(A) The parties have agreed to make provision for the terms and conditions upon which the Manager will provide discretionary investment management services.

(B) The Client has been delivered with the Investment Statement of the Manager relating to the key information to help the Client to understand the nature of and decide on entering into this Agreement.

Appointment

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Client appoints the Manager as investment manager of his/her portfolio of assets (including uninvested cash and income arising from time to time) held on the account with the Manager, as more fully described in this Agreement (“Account"), free from all liens and charges (“Fund”) to manage the Fund on a discretionary basis (including through third party managers) with effect from the due notification of the Manager to the Client that it has been delivered with each of the documents, in form and substance satisfactory to it, required by the Manager and/or the applicable laws. The Manager shall act in accordance with the standards set out in this Agreement in carrying out its duties, powers and obligations under this Agreement, with a view to achieving the investment objectives and in accordance with any restrictions set out in the investment guidelines and restrictions displayed on the website www.vestoq.com and forming part of this Agreement as from time to time amended (“Guidelines”).

The Manager is entitled to assume:

that the Client has the necessary level of knowledge, experience and expertise in relation to the products, transactions and services for which he/she is classified as a retail and/or professional client, to make his/her own investment decisions and to properly assess the risks that he/she may incur; and
that the Client is able financially to bear any related investment risk consistent with the investment objectives as set out in the Guidelines.

In order that the Manager is able to perform its duties and obligations under the clause headed ‘Powers and duties of Manager and Client’, the Client and Manager shall execute powers of attorney in the form acceptable to the Manager to evidence the authority of the Manager to sign and execute all relevant agreements, documents, certificates and instruments in the name and on behalf of the Client pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Manager shall not itself have the power to delegate, by power of attorney, the powers conferred on it by the power of attorney.

In the event that the Client seek any advisory services from the Manager that are not within the scope of this Agreement, the Client and the Manager may agree in writing any specific terms on which such advisory services are to be provided by the Manager as a separate agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if a separate agreement is entered into for such services, its termination or the cessation of such services shall not result in the automatic termination of this Agreement.

Powers and duties of Manager and Client

The Manager shall, as agent for the Client, manage and invest all or any part of the Fund (and income accruing from time to time) at such times and in such investments in accordance with the Guidelines and this Agreement.

Subject to the Guidelines and the applicable regulations, the Manager shall have full discretion to manage the Fund and shall have full authority, without prior reference to the Client, to take any action in respect of the Fund in accordance with this Agreement, including:

to buy, sell, retain, exchange or otherwise deal in investments and other assets, make deposits, subscribe to issues and offers for sale and accept placings, underwritings and subunderwritings of any investments;
to execute transactions (including transactions in, or relating to, unregulated collective investment schemes, such as those managed by third party fund managers);
to effect transactions on any markets, negotiate and execute counterparty and account opening and closing documentation;
to give instructions (as agent of the Client) to any administrator duly appointed by the Client in respect of the Fund;
to take all routine or day-to-day decisions and otherwise act as the Manager judges appropriate in relation to the management of the Fund;
to the extent necessary to enable it properly to exercise its rights and to carry out its duties under this Agreement, to act for the Client and on the Client's behalf in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the Client might or could do; and
to appoint, instruct and dismiss agents or third party portfolio managers to take action in respect of the Fund on behalf of or for the Manager.

The Manager will manage the Fund with a view to achieving the investment objectives set out in the Guidelines and within any restrictions stated in the Guidelines or otherwise agreed in writing between the parties from time to time if such additional terms and/or amendments shall be made in accordance with this Agreement and shall supplement the existing agreement. The Manager may rely on the Guidelines and any additional written restrictions agreed pursuant to this clause as containing all the investment restrictions and limitations applicable to the Fund. The Manager must take into account the Guidelines for the purposes of the FMA's rules on ensuring suitability of trades carried out in the exercise of its discretion or pursuant to investment advice given by it under this Agreement.

The Guidelines will not be deemed to have been breached:

as a result of any events or circumstances outside the reasonable control of the Manager including changes in the price or value of assets of the Fund brought about solely through movements in the market; or
because the composition of the Fund as at the Effective Date is not aligned to the Guidelines. The Client acknowledges that the Manager will, over a reasonable period of time following the Effective Date, work to transition the Fund so as to enable the Guidelines to take full effect, and that during such time the Guidelines will not be deemed to be breached.

The Manager warrants and undertakes on a continuing basis for the benefit of the Client that, in performing its duties, powers and obligations and exercising its discretions under this Agreement, and subject to applicable regulations, the Manager shall act in good faith, competently and with due skill and care, and in a manner appropriate to a professional manager.

The Guidelines (including the investment objectives set out in the Guidelines) may be amended from time to time by the Client notifying the Manager, and after consulting with the Manager. Following receipt of a notice of such amendments, the Manager shall make arrangements to adjust the Fund accordingly as soon as is reasonably practicable. If the Manager reasonably considers that it is not possible to adjust the Fund within 15 Business Days following receipt of the notice to take account of such amendments to the Guidelines, then it shall, as soon as practicable and before such period of 15 Business Days has elapsed, notify the Client of the time period required to effect the amendment, and the Client shall then notify the Manager whether to proceed with the adjustment to the Fund or whether further amendments should be made to the Guidelines.

The Client may at any time request the withdrawal of any amount from the relevant part of the Fund by written notice to the Manager. The Manager shall satisfy the withdrawal request and transfer to the Client cash (or other assets, if so requested by the Client) equal to the amount specified in the withdrawal request as soon as reasonably practicable but at least within 90 days of receipt such request. The Manager undertakes to notify and inform the Client where any withdrawals requested under this clause would necessitate the liquidation of assets of the Fund and/or would require amendments to the Guidelines. If the Manager notifies the Client in accordance with this clause that the withdrawal would require amendments to the Guidelines, and the Guidelines are not amended following such notification, the Manager shall not have any liability for implementing such a withdrawal requested by the Client.

The Client and the Manager shall provide to the other all reasonable assistance in connection with any request, requirement or investigation by any competent authority concerning this Agreement.

In connection with the investment management services being provided to the Client, the Manager is entitled to rely on the financial information and other information provided by the Client. Client agrees to inform the Manager promptly in writing of any material change in the Client’s circumstances which might affect the manner in which the Client’s assets should be invested and to provide the Manager with such information as it shall reasonably request.

Authorisation

Client hereby grants the Manager complete and unlimited discretionary trading authorization and appoints the Manager as agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to the Account. Pursuant to such an authorisation, the Manager may, in its sole discretion and at Client’s risk, purchase, sell, exchange, convert and otherwise trade in the securities, commodities, precious metal, foreign exchange and other investments in the Account, as well as arrange for the delivery and payment in connection with the above, and act on behalf of the Client in all other matters necessary or incidental to the handling of the Account. Client understands that the Manager will execute trades without prior consultation with Client. The Client acknowledges that the Manager may determine to allocate all or a portion of the Fund among various investment alternatives, including but not limited to: (i) individual debt and/or equity securities; (ii) mutual funds and/or (iii) ETF funds. This trading authorisation is a continuing one and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated by the Client or Manager pursuant to the provisions of section 12 titled “Term and termination”. The termination of this authorization will constitute a termination of the Agreement.

Confidentiality

All information furnished by Client to the Manager, including Client's identity, shall be treated as confidential. The Manager agrees not to voluntarily disclose confidential information without Client's prior consent unless required by law, court order or agency directive, or unless the Manager expects, in its reasonable opinion, that it will be compelled by a court or government agency, or unless such information becomes publicly available or known other than as a result of actions of the Manager. However, Client authorises the Manager to respond to inquires from, and communicate and share information with, Client’s attorney, accountant and other professionals to the extent necessary in furtherance of Manager’s services under this Agreement.

Fees and expenses

As compensation for the investment management services that the Manager will provide to the Client, Client agrees to pay to the Manager all fees as more fully described in and charged according to the Manager's prevailing releases posted on the Manager's website at www.vestoq.com.

Upon termination of this Agreement, the Manager shall be entitled to charge a proportionate part of the fee that has not been collected. Until paid, the fees and expenses of the Manager shall constitute a lien upon the assets of the Account.

Client agrees to be responsible for all service fees related to Account and the Fund that the Manager may charge including but not limited to statement delivery, express mail, wire transfers, certificate delivery, closing and transferring accounts, returned checks, settlement fees, non-collectible deposits, bounced checks, stop payments, stock transfers, margin interest and retirement account fees.

Client acknowledges that whenever Client owns mutual funds or exchange traded funds Client may pay fees to two separate entities. First, Client will pay a fee to the Manager for investment management services. Second, Client will pay expenses associated with owning said mutual fund.

All payments under this Agreement to the Manager will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect.

Execution of investment management transactions

The Manager will/or may arrange for the execution of securities, commodities, precious metal, foreign exchange and other investment transactions for the Client through brokers or dealers that the Manager reasonably believes will provide the best execution. The Manager generally will seek competitive commission rates but will not necessarily attempt to obtain the lowest possible commission for transactions for the Fund or part of it. Client understands that it is anticipated that all or a significant amount of brokerage transactions for the Client’s account will be placed through the Manager for the Account. In selecting broker/dealers for a particular transaction, the Manager may consider all relevant factors, including the execution capabilities required by the transaction, the importance of speed, efficiency or confidentiality, familiarity with sources from whom or to whom particular securities, commodities, precious metal or foreign currencies might be purchased or sold, as well as any other relevant matter. The Manager may select broker/dealers which provide it with research or other transaction-related services. Client hereby grants the Manager the authorisation to effect “agency cross” transactions (i.e., transaction in which the Manager acts as broker for the party or parties on both sides of the transaction) with respect to the Fund to the extent permitted by law. The Client acknowledges that the Manager may receive compensation from the other party in such a transaction (the amount of which may vary), and that, as such, the Manager will have a potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities. Consistent with obtaining best execution, transactions for the Client may be directed to brokers in return for research services furnished by them to the Manager. Such research generally will be used to service all of the Manager’s clients, but brokerage commissions paid by the Client may be used to pay for research that is not used in managing the Fund. The Manager may, in its discretion, cause the Client to pay brokers a commission greater that another qualified broker might charge to effect the same transaction where the Manager determines in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research service received.

Transactions for each client account generally will be effected independently, unless the Manager decides to purchase or sell the same securities, commodities, precious metal or foreign currencies for several clients at approximately the same time. To the extent permitted by law, the Manager shall be permitted to, but is not obligated to, combine or “batch” such orders to obtain best execution, to negotiate more favourable commission rates or to allocated equitably among the Manager’s clients. The Client may experience differences in prices and commissions or other transactions costs that might have been obtained had such orders been placed independently. Under this procedure, transactions will be averaged as to price and transaction costs and will be allocated among the Manager’s clients in proportion to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client account on any given day in a fashion that is deemed equitable to all. The Manager may give a copy of this Agreement to any broker, dealer or other party to a transaction for the Client’s account, as evidence of the Manager’s authority to act for the Client.

Risk

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and if not otherwise agreed by the Manager and the Client, the Manager does not guarantee the future performance of the Fund or any part of it or any specific level of performance, the success of any investment recommendation or strategy that the Manager may take or recommend for the Fund, or the success of the Manager’s overall management of the Fund. Client understands that investment recommendations for the Fund are subject to various market, currency, economic, political and business risks, and that those investment decisions will not always be profitable.

Except as may otherwise be provided by law, the Manager will not, in any event, be liable to the Client for any loss (i) that the Client may suffer as a result of the Manager’s good faith decisions or actions where the Manager exercises the degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances that a prudent person acting in a fiduciary capacity would use in the conduct of an enterprise of alike character and with like aims; (ii) caused by following the Client’s instructions; or (iii) caused by any broker or dealer to which the Manager directs transactions for the Client’s account or by any other third person.

Communications sent through the website or by electronic media shall be treated as satisfying any legal requirement that a communication should be signed and in writing, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The "Platform" refers to an electronic trading platform made available online by the Manager and/or one or more of its technology providers.
