Brochure Summary

Overview

WGI was founded in 2003 and is independently owned by its founding Principals: Meg Reynolds and Bryan Ward. As of December 31, 2023, WGI managed $12,224,000,000 of assets on a discretionary basis. WGI is an international investment manager, investing in both developed and emerging markets equities. WGI also engages in foreign exchange (“FX”) transactions to facilitate the settlement of equity trades and repatriation of income. We offer both separately managed and commingled accounts. Accounts may have different strategies, client restrictions and/or varying benchmarks but are all managed with a similar investment process. While WGI’s account documents and investment guidelines allow for investments besides equity and FX transactions, WGI's strategies focus on investing in equities across all our portfolios. WGI is the manager and advisor to the WGI Emerging Markets Fund, LLC, WGI Emerging Markets Smaller Companies Fund, LLC, the WGI Developed Markets Ex-U.S. Fund, LLC, and the WGI Global Ex-U.S. Fund, LLC. WGI is also the advisor to WGI Emerging Markets Feeder, Ltd (”Feeder”), a Cayman Islands company incorporated in December 2009 which is a feeder fund for the WGI Emerging Markets Fund, LLC. Collectively, these five funds are referred to as the “Funds”. The Funds are open-ended private investment funds. As advisor to the Funds, WGI has exclusive investment authority and is responsible for the management, operation, and policy of the Funds. The Funds are operated to comply with the exemption from registration as an investment company under Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Funds have adopted the same investment process that WGI applies with respect to managed institutional accounts, subject to the strategy and any variations that may arise on account of legal or regulatory constraints, investment objectives, benchmarks, taxation, liquidity, diversification, the amount of funds each has available for such investment, and other factors affecting the Funds or the managed institutional accounts. WGI is also a sub-advisor to the Northern Trust’s Active M Emerging Equity Fund, which is listed under ticker NMMEX. The Directors of the Feeder are Meg Reynolds and Bryan Ward, who are responsible for the overall investment policies of the Feeder and are also principals of WGI. The Feeder was formed primarily to provide a pooled investment vehicle through which WGI could more efficiently permit offshore and tax-exempt investors participation in WGI Emerging Markets Fund, LLC. The Directors and WGI intend that the Feeder will invest substantially all of its investable assets in membership interests of the WGI Emerging Markets Fund, LLC. The WGI Global Ex-U.S. Fund holds investments in the WGI Emerging Markets Fund, LLC and the WGI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Fund, LLC, reflective of the overall weighting in the ACWI Ex-U.S. Index. This fund participates in emerging markets and developed markets ex- U.S. strategies in a pooled vehicle which will seek to rebalance in the event the WGI Global Ex-U.S. Fund’s weighting in emerging markets or developed markets differs from the ACWI Ex-U.S. Index by more than five percent (5%). ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION All fees are subject to negotiation. The standard management fee
schedule for Emerging Markets separate accounts is as follows: Assets under $50,000,000.00 1.15% Assets between $50,000,000.00 - $100,000,000.00 0.85 of 1% (.0085) Assets over $100,000,000.00 0.75 of 1% (.0075) The standard management fee schedule for Developed Markets Ex-U.S. separate accounts is as follows: Assets under $100,000,000.00 0.70 of 1% (.0070) Assets between $100,000,000.00 - $250,000,000.00 0.65 of 1% (.0065) Assets between $250,000,000.00 - $500,000,000.00 0.55 of 1% (.0055) Assets over $500,000,000.00 0.45 of 1% (.0045) The standard management fee schedule for assets in WGI’s commingled accounts is as follows: WGI Emerging Markets Fund 1.15% Contributed assets over $100,000,000.00 0.90 of 1%(.0090) WGI Emerging Markets Feeder Fund 1.15% WGI Emerging Markets Smaller Companies Fund 1.20% WGI Developed Markets Ex-U.S. Fund Tiered fee schedule: Assets under $100,000,000.00 0.75 of 1.00% (.0075) Assets between $100,000,000.00 - $250,000,000.00 0.70 of 1.00% (.0070) Assets over $250,000,000.00 0.60 of 1.00% (.0060) WGI Global Ex-U.S. Fund The Management Fee shall be equal to the aggregate amount of management fees that would have been charged to the participants by the WGI Emerging Markets Fund and the WGI Developed Markets Ex-U.S. Fund, had such ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION participant invested directly in each of the funds rather than through the WGI Global Ex-U.S. Fund. The specific manner in which fees are charged by WGI is established in a client’s written agreement with WGI. For separate accounts, WGI will generally invoice its fees on a quarterly basis in arrears. Clients are invoiced directly for fees and may elect to pay Westwood directly or authorize their custodian to directly debit fees from client accounts. Management fees shall be prorated for each capital contribution and withdrawal made during the applicable calendar quarter. Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee. For commingled accounts, manager’s fees are charged monthly based on the participants’ month-end value and withdrawn from their accounts as a redemption of units. Unless otherwise notified, the management fees are charged on the participants’ month-end balance prior to contributions and redemptions. WGI’s management fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which are paid by the client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party investment and other third parties such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of, and in addition to, WGI’s fee, and WGI shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. Item 12 further describes the factors that WGI considers in selecting or recommending broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation (e.g., commissions).
