ITEM 4. ADVISORY BUSINESS
Klosters Capital is an investment adviser registered with the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) that provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment management
services to institutional and individual investors. The Firm was formed in October 2016 and
commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2016. Abetos LLC, which is owned and controlled
by Javier Rodriguez Ambles, and 2KC Wealth Advisory LLC, which is owned and controlled by
Manuel Gomez, are the principal owners of the Firm.
Types of Advisory Services Adviser Offers
Klosters Capital provides investment advisory services to its clients through various types of
discretionary and non-discretionary accounts in accordance with each client’s investment
objectives. Investment activities focus on investments in various kinds of assets and securities in a
variety of markets that is intended to fit within the client’s objectives, strategies and risk profile as
described by each client. On an occasional basis, Klosters Capital may provide advice to clients on
matters not involving securities, such as trust services that may include estate planning.
Customized Discretionary Portfolios
The Adviser offers discretionary management account services that are customized to each client.
Accounts may focus on investments in specified and limited kinds of assets and securities, in
limited markets, or they may be broad-based across many asset classes and markets. Such
accounts are intended to fit within the investor’s objectives, strategies and risk profile as described
by each client. The strategies utilized for these customized accounts may be similar to or may vary
widely from the core strategies typically utilized by the Adviser, as further described in Item 8.
Clients may place targets on these accounts and may restrict the types of investments made in
such accounts.
Family Wealth Services -Investment Advisory Consulting
Klosters Capital provides a variety of non-discretionary consulting services with respect to client
assets. Adviser will assist clients in defining personal financial goals and objectives and supply
analysis and guidance as to the actions and investment strategies necessary to attain the selected
goals and objectives. While such investment advisory consulting services do not include
discretionary authority with respect to investing the client’s assets, they typically include (i) the
ongoing responsibility to select and/or make investment recommendations, based on the needs
of the client, as to specific securities or investments the client may purchase or sell, and (ii) if such
recommendations are accepted by the client, responsibility for arranging or effecting the purchase
or sale, together with authorization to select the brokers for execution of securities transactions
and place orders for the execution of such transactions, unless otherwise indicated in writing. All
guidance and investment advice is based upon the information provided by the client. Generally,
the Adviser offers the client the following services:
4
General: Investment Policy Statement & Definition; Asset Allocation Strategy; Investment Strategy
& Manager Review.
Account Aggregation & Reporting
Klosters Capital provides account aggregation and reporting services through a third-party vendor.
This service is provided at the Clients’ request and is subject to an additional platform fee. A quote
for the service will be provided to the Client prior to the engagement and the platform fee will be
included in the quarterly advisory invoice to the Client.
Private Equity Advisory Services
Klosters Capital provides its clients with opportunities for direct purchases of private equity
investments as part of their asset allocation process. Klosters undertakes the responsibility to
conduct a thorough due diligence process for each private equity deal we present to our clients.
Sub-Advisory Services
We also provide discretionary portfolio management services as a sub-adviser to other advisers,
third-party accounts, model portfolios. As sub-adviser, we are responsible for developing,
constructing, and monitoring the portfolios in compliance with mandates established by the
client’s investment policy statement.
Selection of Other Advisers
Adviser can allocate all or a portion of client assets among different independent third-party
managers or other investment advisers.
Klosters will maintain the direct contractual relationship with each client and obtain, through such
agreements, the authority to engage independent third-party managers. Klosters may delegate
discretionary trading authority to independent third-party managers to effect investment and
reinvestment of client assets with the ability to buy, sell or otherwise effect investment
transactions and allocate client assets.
Klosters will conduct regular supervision of the investment activities of the third-party managers
and ensure that the client’s accounts are managed in accordance to their respective Investment
Policy and/or Investment Profile. Klosters will always have the ability to terminate the relationship
with the sub-adviser on behalf of the client.
There are no additional costs for the Client for the use of sub-advisers.
Wrap Fee Programs
We do not participate in wrap fee programs.

(“AUM”).
ITEM 5. FEES AND COMPENSATION
Management Fees
Klosters offers advisory services for fixed asset-based fees that are set in and governed by the
Agreements (as defined below), and which are anticipated to be determined based on the
amount of client’s assets managed by the Firm, as follows:
Klosters Capital LLC
Management Fee Schedule
Account Value
Up to $1,000,000
$1,000,001 - $10,000,000
$10,000,001 - $20,000,000
$20,000,001 - $50,000,000
Over $50,000,000
Fee Percentage
1.25%
1.00%
0.75%
0.60%
0.50%
The Firm may also provide certain specified services for a fixed, non-asset-based fee, which will
be negotiated with the clients and depends on a variety of factors. All fees will be governed by
the Agreements. The fees that our clients will pay us are provided for in the investment
management agreements (“Agreements”) that the clients execute with us. All such fees, including
asset-based fees and such fixed, non-asset-based fees, typically are paid quarterly in arrears. The
client shall instruct the custodian of its accounts to debit the accounts to pay the advisory fees
each quarter. Clients may negotiate the fees they agree to pay. Klosters charges a minimum
quarterly fee of USD 1,500.
Other Fees and Expenses
Additional fees and expenses for which a client may be responsible are described in the
6
Agreements. In addition to the fees charged by Klosters, clients are responsible for their own
custodial fees and will incur brokerage and other transaction costs (please refer to the Item 12
Brokerage Practices for more information). To the extent that clients’ accounts are invested in
mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, those funds pay a separate layer of management fees,
trading, administrative, and other expenses which are described in each respective fund’s offering
documents (i.e., prospectus).
Neither we nor any of our “supervised persons” accepts compensation for the sale of securities or
other investment products.
ITEM 6. PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
Klosters does not currently enter into performance fee arrangements with its clients. The
compensation structure is disclosed to and approved by the clients at the time they enter into
their Agreements or, as applicable, amendments thereto.
Certain client accounts may have higher or lower asset-based fees or other compensation
arrangements than other client accounts. When Klosters manages more than one client account
there is the potential for one client to be offered a different level of service. Klosters’ policy is to
allocate investment opportunities on a fair and equitable basis and in a manner that is consistent
with the investment objectives of each client account and not based on the fee structure agreed
upon by the client.
ITEM 7. TYPES OF CLIENTS
Klosters Capital provides portfolio management services to individuals, corporations or other
entities. The minimum amount for establishing an Account is generally $1,000,000. Initial account
sizes of a lesser amount may be accepted at Adviser’s discretion.
ITEM 8.
METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
General Investment Description and Methods of Analysis
Klosters Capital may analyze the securities and other investment products it invests its clients’
assets in utilizing charting, fundamental, technical and cyclical methods. Adviser’s investment
strategies used to implement discretionary investment advice given to clients include long-term
purchases, short-term purchases and investments in funds and other securities, and other strategies
Adviser employs include such strategies as short sales, margin transactions, derivatives and
emerging markets. Klosters Capital is structured as an open architecture platform. Adviser reviews,
analyzes and supplements due diligence as necessary and makes an independent determination as
to whether to approve a manager or product for client accounts.
Klosters Capital has arrangements with independent third-party service providers through which
7
Adviser receives general macroeconomic analyses of economies, currencies, markets and market
sectors. Such third parties may also provide due diligence on other investment advisers which
Adviser may recommend to its clients. Klosters makes investment allocation decisions based on
each client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance. Such third-party service providers do not
have access to or knowledge of information concerning the specific investment decisions and
recommendations made to Klosters’ clients.
Through this global strategy, Klosters seeks asset preservation and capital appreciation of clients’
portfolios by customizing asset allocations and selecting investments and investment vehicles that
it believes will align clients’ risk / return expectations with long-term and short-term investment
needs and goals. The asset class allocations forecasts and expectations are analyzed, and
investments made in various financial instruments, which typically include equity, fixed income,
commodities, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and master limited partnerships (“MLPs”)
(publicly traded partnerships), structured products and alternative investments.
Material Risks for Significant Investment Strategies
There is no guarantee that in any time period, particularly in the short term, a client’s portfolio will
achieve appreciation in terms of capital growth or that a client’s investment objective will be met
by Adviser.
The value of the securities in which Klosters invests on behalf of its clients may be volatile. Price
movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries that may
influence certain strategies or the securities market as a whole. Furthermore, a client will be subject
to the risk that inflation, economic recession, changes in the general level of interest rates or other
market conditions over which Adviser will have no control may adversely affect investment results.
Leverage
The funds and other investment products in which client portfolios are invested may engage in or
involve investment strategies that constitute leverage. Such strategies may include the borrowing
and short selling of securities, bonds, foreign exchange and the acquisition and disposal of certain
types of derivative securities and instruments, such as swaps, futures and options. While leveraging
creates an opportunity for greater total returns it also exposes a client to a greater risk of loss arising
from adverse price changes. Where leverage is indirect (e.g., used by a fund manager for a fund in
which Adviser’s client is invested) a sharp decrease in the value of the investment can have a
significant impact on a client’s portfolio.
Liquidity of investment portfolio
The market for some securities in which Adviser invests on behalf of its clients may be relatively
illiquid. Client accounts that are invested in funds or other instruments that contain illiquid
investments may be subject to this risk, and investments in certain funds may themselves be illiquid.
8
The Adviser may be unable to exit an illiquid investment made on behalf of Client at a favorable
price, and may not be able to exit such investment at all or for a set period of years, depending on
the investment and its terms.
Foreign currency markets
Klosters’ investment strategies may cause a client to be exposed to fluctuations in currency
exchange rates where it invests directly or indirectly in securities denominated in currencies other
than U.S. dollars. Foreign exchange trading risks include, but are not limited to, exchange rate risk,
interest rate risk and potential interference by foreign governments through regulation of local
exchange markets, foreign investment, or particular transactions in foreign currency.
Derivatives
Adviser’s investment strategy may cause a client to be exposed to derivatives including instruments
and contracts the value of which is linked to one or more underlying securities, financial benchmarks
or indices. Derivatives allow an investor to hedge or speculate upon the price movements of a
particular security, financial benchmark, index, currency or interest rate at a fraction of the cost of
investing in the underlying asset. The value of a derivative depends largely upon price movements
in the underlying asset.
Settlement risks
Adviser’s investment strategies may expose a client to the credit risk of parties with whom Adviser,
on behalf of the client or the underlying funds, trades and to the risk of settlement default. Problems
of settlement in these markets may affect the net asset value and liquidity of a client’s portfolio or
investments in such portfolios. In addition, unlike taking long positions where the risk of loss
generally is limited to the value of the investment in the security, because short positions lose
money as the price of the underlying security increases, the risk of loss of a short position is
theoretically unlimited.
Short selling
Adviser typically will not directly engage in short selling in client accounts. However, Adviser may
invest in funds and other securities on behalf of its clients that may sell securities of an issuer short.
Short selling by a fund manager can significantly impact the value and volatility of a fund held in a
client’s account.
Emerging Markets
Adviser’s investment strategies include direct and indirect investments in securities in emerging
markets and such investments involve special considerations and risks. These include a possibility
of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, foreign exchange control, political
9
changes, government regulation, social instability or diplomatic developments which could affect
adversely the economies of such countries or the value of a client’s investments, and the risks of
investing in countries with smaller capital markets, such as limited liquidity, price volatility,
restrictions on foreign investment and repatriation of capital, and the risks associated with
emerging economies, including high inflation and interest rates and political and social
uncertainties. In addition, it may be difficult to obtain and enforce a judgment in a court in an
emerging country.
Investment Concentration
Some client accounts may have a high concentration in one sector, industry, issuer or security that
may subject such accounts to greater risk of loss in the event such investments take an economic
downturn.
ITEM 9. DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Klosters is not aware of any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to clients' and
prospective clients' evaluation of Klosters or the integrity of our personnel.
ITEM 10. OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Klosters has no other financial industry activities; Mr. Rodriguez Ambles is an indirect shareholder
and President of the Board of Directors of Klosters Capital España Agencia de Valores S.A., a foreign
investment advisor registered in Spain with the National Commission of Securities Markets.
CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND
ITEM 11.
PERSONAL TRADING
Code of Ethics
Our Code of Ethics (the “Code”) is documented in our Regulatory Compliance Manual (“Manual”),
a copy of which (and any amendments) is provided to each employee. Each person deemed to be
an “Access Person” under the Code must certify that he or she has read, understands and agrees
to comply with our Manual and the Code. Furthermore, each Access Person must certify annually
that he or she has complied with the Manual. We also hold periodic compliance training sessions
and attendance at such sessions is mandatory for all employees.
Our Manual requires all of our employees to conduct themselves with integrity and dignity and
act in an ethical manner in all dealings on our behalf; act with competence and strive to maintain
and improve their competence; use reasonable care and exercise independent professional
judgment in the execution of their professional duties; avoid actions or relationships that might
conflict, or appear to conflict with, job responsibilities or the interests of Klosters and our clients;
10
and comply with all applicable federal securities laws.
Subject to certain legally permitted exceptions, our Manual also requires all of our Access Persons
to notify us of all of their securities holdings and accounts and submit to us within 30 days after
the end of each calendar quarter securities transaction reports identifying all securities purchased
and sold during such quarter. At least quarterly, we review the employee securities transaction
reports as well as brokerage and adviser statements to determine compliance with our reporting
procedures. Furthermore, we require that each Access Person re-affirm the accuracy of his or her
list of securities holdings and accounts on record with us at least annually.
Our Manual also requires that Access Persons obtain our approval before investing in any initial
public offering of securities or in any private placement of securities.
A copy of our Code of Ethics will be provided to any client or prospective client upon request.
Conflicts of Interest
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions. Should we be entitled to performance fees with
respect to a future client account, that may incentivize us to make more speculative investments
than would be the case in the absence of such performance fee arrangement. Although we don’t
presently have any such arrangements and don’t expect to in the near future, we seek to minimize
and address any such conflicts by managing each client’s account in accordance with such client’s
investment objectives and limitations contained in its Agreement with us, irrespective of the
client’s fee structure or arrangement.
Allocation of Co-Investment Opportunities. Employees of Klosters and their family members are
not expected to have accounts (collectively, “Employee Accounts”) that invest in the same
securities that are recommended to clients. Such a practice, including if Employee Accounts were
managed by Klosters, would present inherent conflicts of interests, such as employees and/or
certain of their family members: 1) trading before clients (i.e., front-running), and/or; 2) receiving
a better allocation or price than clients. To address and mitigate (potential) conflicts of interest
associated with personal trading, should they arise in the future, Klosters has developed written
policies and procedures to help ensure that Employee Accounts are not favored over other client
accounts. When investing in the same securities, Employee Accounts would be expected to
generally transact in securities alongside client accounts, receive the average price that clients pay
for securities transactions, and pay their share of transaction costs. In the event that an aggregated
order including both Employee Accounts and client accounts is only partially filled, the
participating accounts will receive a pro rata allocation. In certain instances (e.g., new accounts,
terminating accounts, add-on capital, partial withdrawals), Klosters may purchase or sell securities
for Employee Accounts when other client accounts are not purchasing or selling the same security.
With limited exceptions, Employee Accounts would not be expected to receive a more
advantageous price than client accounts for a particular security purchased or sold on the same
trading day.
11
In addition, employees should not purchase or sell individual securities held in Klosters’ investment
strategy unless it is through an Employee Account managed by Klosters, or in limited
circumstances, if the transaction is pre-cleared by the CCO. The CCO monitors employee trading,
relative to client trading, to ensure that employees do not engage in improper transactions.
Under certain circumstances an employee might invest in a security that is not considered suitable
for client accounts because of size, liquidity, or other factors. A change in these factors could result
in the security becoming more suitable for clients, but the CCO might not allow the security to be
purchased for client accounts in order to avoid even the appearance of employees trading ahead
of clients. In Klosters’ experience, it is rare for an employee’s personal trading to limit clients’
investment opportunities, but such a situation may arise from time to time.
Cross Transactions. As neither we nor any of our affiliates is registered as a broker-dealer, we do
not engage in agency cross transactions. In the event that we cause clients to enter into any cross
transaction, we will seek any required consent from the clients involved.
Javier Rodriguez-Ambles is a Member and Director of Abetos LLC, a personal holding company
incorporated in Florida and direct owner of Klosters Capital. Mr. Rodriguez Ambles is an indirect
shareholder and President of the Board of Directors of Klosters Capital España Agencia de Valores
S.A., a foreign investment advisor registered in Spain with the National Commission of Securities
Markets.
Other than that, Mr. Rodriguez-Ambles has no other financial industry activities or affiliations for
which disclosure is required.
ITEM 12. BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Best Execution and Soft Dollars
Klosters places trades for client accounts subject to its fiduciary duties, including the duty to seek
best execution, where applicable, for clients’ securities transactions. In non-directed brokerage
accounts (as discussed below), service, execution quality, capabilities and responsiveness are the
primary factors considered in Klosters’ recommendation or selection of a broker, and in
determining the reasonableness of broker compensation, although other factors may be
considered.
Klosters’ policy is to seek the best price and favorable execution of client transactions considering
all circumstances. However, there can be no assurance that best execution will in fact be achieved
in any given transaction. Subject to Klosters’ overall policy, in selecting brokers to execute
transactions, Klosters considers customary practices in prevailing markets for the particular type
of investments being traded, natural order flow, market impact, anonymity, the firm’s reputation,
the full range, quality and reliability of its services that are deemed useful to better serve clients,
12
its relationship and responsiveness to Klosters, commission rates, and any other factors that
Klosters, in its sole discretion, deems relevant, without having to demonstrate that any such factor
is of a direct benefit to any particular client. In addition to execution, the services provided by
brokers include supplemental research, statistical information and objective performance
evaluation.
Brokers furnish, for example, proprietary or third-party research reports, supplemental
performance reports, statistical analyses, and software and computer programs used for research
and portfolio analysis, and other valuable research information to Klosters.
Klosters receives certain research reports from brokers that are not used in investment decision
making. However, Klosters receives other services from brokers that are used in the investment
decision making process, such as access to management and invitations to analyst conferences.
Klosters at times invests for its clients in the stock of publicly traded brokers with which Klosters
places client trades.
Directed Brokerage
Klosters may in some cases enter into arrangements where clients establish a brokerage account(s)
with the broker-dealer of their choosing for brokerage services and direct the Firm to execute
securities transactions through that broker. Klosters advises clients and prospective clients that
not all advisers recommend, request or require their clients to direct brokerage. By directing
brokerage, Klosters may be unable to achieve the most favorable execution of client transactions
and this practice may cost clients more money. For example, in a directed brokerage account, the
client may pay higher brokerage commissions because Klosters may not be able to aggregate
orders to reduce transaction costs or the client may receive less favorable prices. Klosters is
independently owned and operated and not affiliated with any broker. Klosters does not receive
any compensation from or with respect to the broker’s clients may choose or it may recommend
to clients (if any), and it is the Firm’s policy not to make any broker recommendations on the basis
of any compensation for client referrals.
Aggregation and Trade Allocation
Klosters’ policy is to treat all clients fairly and equitably with respect to the aggregation and
allocation of orders. Klosters typically aggregates contemporaneous client purchase or sale orders
into blocks for execution in order to achieve more efficient execution, lower per share brokerage
costs and, in the aggregate, better and fairer prices. Where purchases or sales are made on a block
basis, price and per share commission and transaction costs are allocated to each advisory client
on a pro rata basis subject to available cash, account restrictions, tax status, account size,
weighting of securities in a portfolio, directed brokerage, and other relevant investment factors.
When orders are aggregated, each participating account will be allocated securities on an average
price basis and pay their share of transaction costs. Instances in which client account orders may
not be aggregated include, but are not limited to, the following:
13
•
Client imposed investment guidelines, mandates and/or restrictions do not allow
for participation in an order;
•
A client has directed Klosters to use a broker other than the one selected by Klosters
or the other clients in the proposed aggregated trade;
•
Different position target levels and/or different ownership percentage respective
to targeted levels;
•
The timing of actual or anticipated capital additions or withdrawals by clients;
and/or
•
Klosters decides not to aggregate an order(s) because of tax, legal, regulatory,
market conditions, or administrative reasons.
Klosters generally takes into consideration varying position target levels and ownership between
accounts to allocate partially filled orders and will generally seek to complete any unfilled orders
on a best effort basis. In circumstances where all participating accounts have the same target level
and ownership in the security being traded, Klosters will seek to allocate participating accounts
with a pro rata average priced allocation. A partial fill order that is fully filled over multiple days
may result in multiple transaction charges; Klosters, however, expects partial fill orders to occur
from time to time, and such orders should not have a material effect on clients’ account
performance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing discussion, Klosters may purchase or sell securities for client
accounts when other client accounts are not purchasing or selling the same security.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Klosters does not select brokers in exchange for client referrals. Although Klosters often uses
brokers to trade securities in the clients’ portfolios, Klosters does not consider any other
relationships with brokers as a factor when selecting brokers to effect portfolio transactions.
Klosters’ Managing Partner certifies to this fact on a quarterly basis.
ITEM 13. REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Klosters’ CIO and Managing Partner monitor and review client portfolios on an ongoing basis. In
addition, the Firm reviews all trade transactions to ensure such transactions have been executed
properly and correctly recorded into client accounts. At least once a month, Klosters reviews all
client accounts to assess position sizes, the level of cash holdings, portfolio composition, and client
specific developments. Client capital contributions, withdrawals, and company or stock specific
events may trigger additional reviews of client accounts.
14
Klosters expects clients’ custodians will provide written custodian statements on at least a quarterly
basis, which report investment activity and holdings of their account(s). Additionally, Klosters may
send separate investment reports to clients on a periodic basis as determined by client and the Firm.
As required by investment management agreement provisions, certain clients may receive an
annual written report of the proxy voting activity related to their account(s). Klosters’ Managing
Partner is available to clients for consultation and, at least annually, Klosters will contact each client
with a request to notify the firm if their financial situation or investment objectives have changed,
and whether the client wishes to request, modify, or eliminate any reasonable investment
guidelines, mandates or restrictions on their account(s).
ITEM 14. CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Adviser’s compensation is primarily in the form of management fees. Please refer to Item 5 for
additional details. No third-party provides economic benefit to Klosters in connection with
Klosters’ investment advisory services to its clients. Other than as described below, Klosters does
not compensate any person who is not a supervised person for client referrals.
Klosters does not have any referral / solicitor’s agreement in place at this time.
Adviser may receive referrals from outside attorneys, accountants and other professionals and
may enter into remuneration agreements from time to time; however, Klosters does not any such
arrangements at this time.
ITEM 15. CUSTODY
Klosters does not accept custody of client funds or securities. Each client shall engage a third party
to serve as the custodian for its accounts. Adviser is authorized to give instructions to the
custodian with respect to all investment decisions regarding client accounts, but Klosters will not
have authority to direct the transfer of any securities and/or funds away from the client’s
accounts.
ITEM 16. INVESTMENT DISCRETION
We accept discretionary authority to manage securities and alternative investments on behalf of
clients and manage accounts on a non-discretionary basis. We enter into an investment
management agreement with each client. Each discretionary agreement provides us with full
discretion to determine investments to be purchased and sold on behalf of the client. Limitations
on our investment discretion are set forth in the investment management agreements with the
client including non-discretionary agreements where applicable.
ITEM 17. VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Generally, Klosters does not accept discretionary authority to vote proxies for clients’ securities
15
holdings, unless specifically requested otherwise by a client as described below. In accordance
with its fiduciary duty to clients and Rule 206(4)-6 of the Investment Advisers Act, Klosters has
adopted and implemented written policies and procedures governing the voting of client
securities. In the event that Klosters receive authority to vote proxies, it will be treated in
accordance with these policies and procedures. Clients may not direct proxy voting for particular
solicitations where Klosters has discretionary authority to decide how to vote.
Klosters’ policy is to vote proxies, if requested by the client, in the best interests of its clients.
Klosters’ written proxy policies and procedures require the Company to identify and address
material conflicts of interest between Klosters and its clients. If a material conflict of interest
exists, Klosters will determine whether voting in accordance with the guidelines set forth in
written policies and procedures is in the best interests of the client(s), or take some other
appropriate action (e.g., retain an independent third party to vote the proxy). Klosters may abstain
or affirmatively decide not to vote a proxy where Klosters believes it is in the best interest of
clients.
Clients may request and obtain a copy of Klosters’ proxy voting policies and procedures, and
information regarding how client securities have been voted, by contacting Javier Rodriguez-
Amblés at 305-907-3421 and jra@klosters-capital.com.
At least one client account requires, pursuant to an investment management agreement
provision, that the client shall have the power in its discretion to exercise all voting rights and take
all other shareholder actions (i.e., class actions and reorganizations) with respect to any or all of
their account(s). Further, the client requires that Klosters promptly deliver all proxy material it
receives relating to any of the assets in the account(s). In such cases, Klosters will vote proxies as
instructed
ITEM 18. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We do not take physical custody of client funds or securities, or serve as trustee or signatory for
client accounts, and, we do not require prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six or more
months in advance.
Klosters has not filed a bankruptcy petition at any time in the past ten years.
16
